He did not outplay anyone. He did not even slow down his opponent. He did not help his teammates score. He caused Joel to get 2 fouls. The Blazers were outscored by 6 while he was in.

Again, you don't appear to be watching the same game as everyone else.

He entered 71-59. He exited 83-75.

That's a 4 point swing, not 6. Further, two of those points were from Deng free throws from a foul that occurred before Bayless entered.

Fair enough. Gooden is pretty good offensively... he certainly overpowered Aldridge and was hittin jumpers over Oden tonight. If you could combine Gooden's offense with Thomas's defense, you'd have a pretty good power forward.

More truth. Although they're both space cadets, so I don't know that Thomas is really a good defender. When he's into it he's a good shotblocker. He's got like 3 boards in 30 minutes though. He still thinks he's a 3.

Bayless has too much talent to rot on the bench... who are you guys going to trade.

Blake did a nice job against Rose, Bayless got scored on repeatedly.

Also we lost most of our lead until Bayless got the hook.

Actually after we lost a lot of our lead it was Bayless play that got us our lead back.

Anyone want to give their thoughts on the Bulls?

Why does your announcer keep calling Thabo French. Even after the other announcer corrected him. :dunno:

Honestly, the team doesnt look like they have a direction.
I am not a fan of the multiple subs...no need for Hughes to play when Thabo and Kirk and Deng and Noc are available.
Gooden is much better than remebered.
Your centers are a travesty. Noah and Gray, no offense but wow.
Tyrus looks like he could be a Chris Anderson type player as long as he can stay committed and focussed and thats not a knock, every team needs high energy players.
Rose will be a stud, but really needs work on the jumper and have better teammates to work off of as well :)
I think BG would be more effective if you used him like the Pistons use Rip, just run the shit out of him off of curls and screens.
If you can, find takers for Deng, Kirk, and Noc..they just have not progressed like they could have..just build around Rose and make smart moves via the draft and don't take on long contracts. A elite PG can do wonders.

But who's got more upside? I mean, if I were a contender like the Celtics, I might take your grandma. You know... if I needed to win games in the playoffs.

If I were headed for the lottery and building for the future though, I'd have to go with Tyrus.
 
Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

31 points for Outlaw. Steppin up while his buddy struggles.
 
Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

Outlaw breaks 30 points! Awesome.
 
Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

Travis Outlaw= 6th Man of the Year
 
Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

Sweet win. A win by double digits on the road is quality no matter who it comes against.

And to do it with Roy, Aldridge and Fernandez having poor games is promising. Other players showed great things...Outlaw, Oden and Bayless. And Blake.

Can you blame him?

Bayless is Jarrett Jack all over again.

No way he has a ton more talent then Jack and I always liked Blake except for his TO's at a bad time in the game.

Thanks, that's pretty much my assessment too, although I'm not yet willing to give up on Deng. I think Vinnie Del Negro couldn't find his ass with both hands and has constructed as "system" (I use that term loosely because it's such a disorganized mess) that is dreadful for a player who gets his points out of the system. Which Deng is.

Deng and Gordon played like you described under skiles.

And I've never seen a team that looked more confused defensively than this year's Bulls.

But yeah, good win.
 
Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

I sure hope Rudy is going to be ok. We are going to need him on this road trip. I can't believe we won so easy with Both LMA and Roy have off games.
 
Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

:party:
Great win tonight. Looked pretty bad at the start, but we got it going in the later stages of the game. Oden was phenomonal in the first half, keeping us in the game. Then Travis took over the 2nd half. Bayless had a nice stint, too.
 
Re: Blazers @ Chicago Game Thread

That was a really good game by Travis. He only made one mistake on offense which I could recall which is out of this world for him.
 
MIXUMS got 3 BIG POSITIVES and a "lets hope"!

1. Outlaw might have played his best game as a Blazer. Wow. Cant say much more on a night where we would have lost of it wasnt for his big shots considering Aldridge might have played his worst game since November.
Hopefully hes figured things out after 6 years...but i doubt it,

2. Oden looked like a first round pick tonight. However i dont know why he didnt play in the 4th much? Maybe let him rest?

3. Bayless played very well. Hes a little too agressive at times but i will take him anyday of the week over sergio. Like i said, we cant trade sergio fast enough and from the look of his face on thebench...i think sergios days are numbered and hes knows it. He stinks. Bayless looked pretty good though. Thats the guy i saw last summer.

lets hope rudys ok. i knew that fall didnt look good.

Ed o has already verified thta he lost us points, not gained them.
 
if anyone seriously believes bayless is better then rose....get your head examined.

with that said.....

if anyone thinks sergio should play over bayless.....see above statement. bayless is already better.

sergio is never gonna make it on this team. its over. thanks for coming...good night.
 
mgb....give me all the numbers you want.

bayless and sergio.....


its not close.


sorry. bayless > sergio.
 
btw...kinda liked the bulls announcers. they do a good job. not taking homerism to the next level like many do in the NBA.

that depends on who is available, but the consensus core guys here in our irrelevant chats who seem unlikely to be moved are (in no particular order) Rudy Oden LA Roy Bayless and Batum

They definitely had their moments. Stacy King, though, uses the same phrase over and over (I can't recall what it was... maybe "in fact"? Something like that) and kept referring to Outlaw as Charles.
