Starting Lineups
Chicago Bulls: PG Chris Duhon SG Kirk Hinrich SF Luol Deng PF Joe Smith C Ben Wallace Portland Trail Blazers: PG Steve Blake SG Brandon Roy SF Martell Webster PF Lamarcus Aldridge C Joel Przybilla 6th mans: Ben Gordon is averaging 19 ppg 3.9 rpg 2.8 apg 0.9 spg 0.2 bpg and he plays 35.7 mpg Travis Outlaw is averaging 11.9 ppg 5.1 rpg 0.8 spg 0.8 bpg and he plays 26 mpg Team Stats: Bulls 93 ppg 43.6 rpg 21.6 apg 4.9 bpg 7.7 spg Blazers 96.0 ppg 39.4 rpg 21.8 apg 4.5 bpg 5.6 spg Game Thoughts: I'm glad its on TNT, I love TNT Thursday! Double Header... ne ways, I think this will be a tough game. It will be interesting to see if Aldridge gets matched up with Tyrus though who knows if TT will even play, probably not. Were going to have to shut down Roy and contain Lamarcus. Portland gets a big spark from Outlaw who is a young, energetic rebounder who can block shots and dunk on just about anyone. There on a hot streak right now so we have to come with our best effort. |

Unfortunately we will be seeing alot more of Adrian Griffin... Jim, we get that you like the vets but Adrian Griffin is not going to take us to a championship, hell none of these guys are so please do us all a favor and not play him!
IMO with the way things are, I'd almost rather lose with the young guys than win with the vets. This could just be a waste of a season if we don't play Thabo, Tyrus, and Noah extended minutes. We'll come into next year and they'll be so far behind schedule you can't count on them. At some point Pax/Jim have got to look at this team and say "Were not going to win a championship with the way things are." The goal should never be to "Just make the playoffs", it should be to win a championship. |
