RichTUK · Feb 21, 2015

Yeah, I just don't get the inconsistency with this team. :dunno:

Bear Pride · Feb 21, 2015

Niko with the 3! I wanna see more 3's from Niko, and dammit, I wanna see McD fire up some 3's!

Axl Rose · Feb 21, 2015

love Nikola

hes gonna be really good

Bear Pride · Feb 21, 2015

Niko with another 3 and the drive to the hoop!!! Nice just putting Niko in the game with the starters Thib's!!!!!!!!!!

I cant wait for Nikola to settle in, hes a career 40% 3pt shooter (97/241) and has increased every season. Now thats a EuroLeague stat which is even more impressive than the ACB Spanish League stat as its against all the best teams in Europe where hes played just under 100 games since he was 18. Thats impressive and he was at 46% last season across 31 games (41/89).

It's looks like you would know being from Spain. :yep: I Love Niko, and have for years. I don't get Thib's, why not ride Niko for the rest of the quarter there, he was playing well? I would him rather bring in Dunn and keep Niko in for Taj. For me, it's getting where I'd rather see Niko in before Taj, except for some defensive lineups. Niko is a better offensive player right now than Taj.

I live out here but I'm from the UK/Wales.

He's getting more minutes than I thought he would be. He's still learning and I think his game "right now" is easy to read, he is playing so different at the moment compared to when he was at Madrid, he can put the ball on the floor and attack the basket but you can see Thibs is wanting him to spread the court. Once he gets used to doing that, im sure he will start making more lanes, either for himself or for Jimmy and Rose... and then his mins will go up. IMO.

It's 3am here and im shattered... I hope you understand what I mean, read it back and it doesnt make much sense lol

basically he just needs to add some more assured movement to his NBA game.

No, I get it, I just don't get why we haven't seen more of him? He was playing good and Thib's took him out, and we haven't seen him again. :dunno: We need shooters on the floor to play with this team???

RichTUK · Feb 21, 2015

yeah, the 7 mins he has today is pretty bad... hes done alot more than Taj in less than half the time.

Whats happened to the aggression this season, you see it from Taj every now and again but Noah is no where near as intense.

RichTUK · Feb 21, 2015

Well hes back in now!!

The Hawk · Feb 21, 2015

Wow. They had Dunleavy, Brooks and Gasol on defense at one point in that game. Wide open shot attempts all day long. I can't even remember some of those guys the Suns are playing and their bench is kicking our ass.

The Hawk · Feb 21, 2015

Someone please take some of Taj's blood and give it out to about 8 of the Bulls please. He gives a shit.

RichTUK · Feb 21, 2015

Thats more like it from Taj but we are way to soft for way too long these days.

Bulls with 3 shooters on the floor... this is what I want.

With Taj to clear up the boards and show Noah how hard he should be playing

Even with Niko missing that last 3, we got the rebound cuz Brooks, Snell, and Niko all spread the floor.
