BULLS VS MAGIC GAME THREAD, Feb 26th, 7:30 start Options

[TeaLeafReaderII]

I'm terrified of Dwight Howard... but the Magic haven't played too well lately. I think the Bulls can win this. Especially if the guards start playing a little better.

Malik is the bulls best shooting big man, though he and sweets should never be on the floor together i agree

please understand about chandler, playing with cp3 is like playing with nash, though maybe not to the same extent, there is no way chandler would put up those humbers on the bulls this year

Remember you guys, Chandler had a ton of flaws last year that had shown no signs of improving over the last few years. It was all those dropped passes and fumblings with the ball and bad pass turnovers and going for every shot fake even from guys like bo outlaw and michael ruffin and the constant fouling. He couldn't be our lock down defender bc he fouled too much to play significant minutes. Skiles couldnt even start him for fear of losing him early on every night .

He may have taken care of those things a little this year, but he gave us no reason to see that coming in the last 5.

But before last year he had his best season and you knew he was going to eventually get better. The kid is only 23 years old. I know he is a foul machine but game experience will change that and while I agree I don't think his stats would be as good here in Chicago, he still would have the same contribution Wallace is having with us except Big Ben has respect from the referees and has been the DPOY like 3 years. Im just bitter sweet right now. I love Big Ben and I love Tyson but Tyson is younger.

Can we please get Malik out of there? If he can't hit a jumpshot, what good is he?

At the half your scoring leaders...

Magic- Darko Milicic 11 points 9 rebounds

Bulls- Ben Gordon 12 points 3 assists

Overall Outlook:

Bulls are getting dominated in the low post. With Skiles horrid lineups he leaves the hot shooter Ben Gordon out for like 10 minutes and then brings him back in after he iced him hoping to get us back ahead. Malik is getting dominated by everyone, and we lack offense. Which isn't hard to believe considering the lineup we had out there for the majority of the game.

Hopefully Skiles can get his head out of his ass and play BG more and play Tyrus Thomas over Griffin, and Allen. I never got why after having such a good game yesterday he doesn't play the first half of the next game?
