We're just going to do this in one big thread to avoid clutter.
The concept is very simple, you're essentially picking what player will have the best game for each of the Bulls' contests. Just post a player name and I'll post the winners with a running tally of player and poster victories (I'll probably do this once a week). If I don't post a divider for the next game (I'll try to remember but may forget on occasion) please post which game it is for if you are the first participant.
I will be the one determining the winner on a game-to-game basis. I don't want to get too technical in figuring it out, so I'll simply be adding the points, rebounds and assists for each player to determine the winner. If two people are close (probably within 2 or 3), I will use steals and blocks and/or particularly clutch plays as a deciding factor.
To make things a little more interesting, you can only pick the same player once every week. I WILL be keeping track of that when I do the tallies.
Let's try to get this going strong this season.
Game 1, October 28th vs the Milwaukee Bucks
I will be taking Tyrus Thomas.
I figure he's a fairly good bet matched up against Charlie Villanueva...
Ben Gordon
I'll be the tool.
Derrick Rose.
Tyrus Thomas
What no Kirk, Nocioni or Thabo takers? I think everyone should lose this round.
And it seems this wasn't for last nights games against the Bucks.... it was actually for tuesdays regular season against the bucks.... <silently backs out of the room>
For game 1, I'll take Deng
for the bucks game i will take drew gooden.
I'm going with Deng.
Once every week? Damn, I'm just expecting it to be Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose.
I'll take Deng.
For some retarded reason, I'm going with Tyrus.
Thabo Sefolosha
for the Bucks game i am going to pick Tyrus Thomas
Tyrus Thomas gets the win for game 1 with a total of 28.
Zoom and SF1, the two biggest Tyrus critics on the board, get the win.
Oh, and so do ChwRock and Bulls 91.

Ben Gordon, please.
I'm gonna go with Kirk against Boston.
ben gordon vs. boston
I'll take Lu
Tyrus Thomas
For the Celtics game i am going to go with Derrick Rose
I'm going with good ole Noc.
well since tyrus will be matched up with KG and Deng with Pierce, I will take Ben Gordon to torch Ray Allen's old ass!
Against a defense like the Celts? eek. I'll take Derrick Rose, might be one of those cases where the only thing working is his quickness.
For the Celtics game I'll go with Luol Deng.
I'll take Rose for a big game against the champs
Celtics game Ben Gordon
Rose wins almost by default with a total of 23.

Next game is Monday against Orlando, new week.
Alright I shoulda went with Rose before so I'm going with him this time!
Forgot to make my pick, I'll go with Rose like the rest of the world probably will...
lets see here, vs. orlando i'll take Kirk Hinrich
For the Orlando game i will go with Loul Deng.
I'm going with Ben Gordon.
On a side note, you should have an updated list of winners in the first post.
I'll go with Hinrich vs Orlando...
Derrick Rose
Rose
Deng
Oh God, Orlando's tough... they have no true point guard, so Derrick Rose should be able to abuse. Taking anyone who relies on inside scoring would be nuts as well.
I'll just get creative and say Ben Gordon.
Just put me down for Rose the entire remaining 79 games. I'll probably have a 85% accuracy rating at the end of the year.
Nocioni was the winner with a total of 28. Gooden was second at 27. No one picked either of them, so no winners this game (I'm not stretching it to the 3rd place guy).
Next game is Wednesday against Cleveland.
Luol is bound to have a breakout game, I'll go with him.
Joakim Noah.
BG
Hmm, I guess I'll take Gordon since I already used my Rose pick and I want nothing to do with the slumping Deng going up against Lebron.
I'll take Gooden
THABO!
Tyrus Thomas!
I'll go with Drew Gooden
Rose
i'll take drew gooden for the cavs game
Ben Gordon gets the win thanks to a barrage of buckets in the 4th. Winners are myself and ChwRock.

Alright, I've got some serious catching up to do. Bear with me...
Rose got the win against the Lakers, but it appears that everyone used their Rose pick before that...
Nocioni got a less than inspiring win against Portland.
Gooden won against Golden State, no one picked him.

Rose at home against the 6ers.
For Philly pt. 2 I'm going with Drew Gooden.
Against Milwaukee I'm going with Tyrus. Probably a bad choice.
Guess I have to go with Gordon tonight.
Sigh, I keep forgetting to update more regularly...
Rose won it for the Utah game. Myself, Cowch, CBF, and jorgefabregas had him.
I'm calling San Antonio a tie between Gordon and Gooden. No one had either of them.
The first Philly game was close enough to call it a tie between Rose and Gooden. Again, no one had either of them. (remember, new weeks start on Sunday)

Gordon got the win against Milwaukee. Balta had him.

I'm definitely taking Rose for Saturday against Washington.
Larry Hughes versus Washington.
Awesome an update!
I saved my Rose pick all week for the Wizards.
Auto me Derrick Rose once a week for the rest of the year, followed by Ben Gordon. I'll take the losses on the other two, and then I can stop bothering with this thread.
Already used up the 2 winners for this week...so why not throw the dice tonight. Drew Gooden. Washington doesn't play much inside defense, so when we go to our ridiculously small lineup with Gooden at Center for 40 minutes, maybe he'll pull something off for me.
Gordon vs N.Y.
Against NY I'm going with Gooden.
Potential for a low defense, scoring game? I'll take Gordon.
Have to go with Rose against Memphis. It will be fun to see him and Mayo go head-to-head.
Rose against Memphis.
Gordon against NJ.
Derrick Rose
I want Tyrus for the New Jersey game!
Gonna do the full week.
CHA: Deng
LAC: Gordon
BOS: Tyrus
UTA: Rose
I'll take Gordon against Charlotte tonight.
I'd love Tyrus against Charlotte...but the problem is, he played well last game, so he'll be in for 5 minutes tomorrow.
Deng.
Did this thread die? I'm going with Deng against Detroit.
Rose shows up Iverson against the Pistons.
Crap, I keep forgetting about this thread. Update coming.
A LOT of updates coming. In the future one of the other mods is more than welcome to update it if I forget.
Deng and Hughes finally got on the board against Washington. CBF had Hughes.
Gooden got the win against New York. Cowch had him.
Gordon won against Memphis. No one had him.
Gordon with another one against New Jersey. Cowch had him.
Tyrus with the win against Charlotte. No one had him.
Gooden won against the Clips, Deng against Boston, Gordon against Utah and Detroit, Gray with a surprise win against Miami, Gordon against the Hawks, and Rose against the Nets. No one had any of them.

Well that makes me want to keep playing. Rose vs Orlando
Ben Gordon vs. the Cavs.
Against the Cavs? Wow, we might lose by 50. Hell, give me Rose against the Cavs and Gordon tomorrow against the team from Minnesota.
Already took Rose and BG.... Guess I'll go with Tyrus vs. Min.
At this point, I feel embarrassed to be picking anyone to click.
Give me Noah. What the Hey. Maybe the Morrissey article inspires VDN to give him some minutes.
Agreed, I feel like I'm picking the player to suck the least.
Anyway, against Sacramento I'll go with Gordon.
Gooden against Washington.
He's back, he's the only big who we ever play with the small lineup, give me Gooden.
Rose vs OKC
Tyrus vs. OKC
Just because I would love for Portland fans to wonder why they traded him instead of me doing it for Aldridge, Tyrus vs. Portland.
Man, last time we played Portland, didn't Rose like get shut out for half the game?
I'll take Gordon.
Give me Rose against the Raptors and Gooden against the Cavs.
Scratch that, Gooden's out again. Uck. Deng versus the Cavs. Should get some decent rebounds in his time at center.
ill take gordon vs. the raptors
I wanna see Rose take over on national TV against "The Best Team in the East." So I'm going with him.
I'll go with Deng vs SA.
I feel Tyrus and Rose having a huge games, but I'll go with Tyrus vs NYK.
Rose vs. Min
Gordon against Clippers
Deng, Kings.
Gordon vs. Suns.
Rose vs Houston
Deng vs. Houston
Tyrus vs. NO.
Chris Paul has no hope of stopping Derrick Rose when he's on the bench for the game in NOLA.
Tyrus vs. Detroit
Tyrus dominates Pistons and punches ticket to Phoenix
Gordon will go off against Detroit now that he doesn't have to take on 2 big guards.
Against Miami.. What the hell, I'm gonna say Noah. How about an update?
Dwyane Wade...meet Derrick Rose.
I'll take Rose versus Milwaukee
He's been hot lately, and it's a new week. Start me off with Gordon showing up Skiles.
I'm saying Tyrus vs. Milwaukee
Gordon vs Denver.
Facing against Denver? Ugh, not a good guard matchup. Stick to the frontcourt and give me Luol Deng.
I'll take Tyrus versus the Pacers
PFft no granger...
Give me LU!
Calling a big TT game vs. Indy. Not Tim Thomas, the other TT.
Does Indiana even play D? I'm gonna go with Rose.
Man I haven't been in this for a while. This Orlando game could be ugly. Probably the worst matchup possible for us. I'll go with the hot hand and say Gordon.
Gordon against the Magic
I'll take Rose versus the Magic
Orlando...hmm, Tyrus!
Luol Deng against the Nets
I'll take Noah versus the Nets
I'm going with Gordon vs. the Nets.

Noah against the 6ers.
I'll take Rose vs. the Sixers

Noah against the interior depleted Celts for another double-double.
I'll take Salmons against Boston
After last nights offensive explosion I'll take Salmons vs the Thunder. Go Bulls!!!!
Against OKC...give me, let's see, I guess Salmons is probably a decent bet. Won't have Thabo on him, probably in good condition for a back to back game.
Well, I picked Salmons last night...so I'll go with Tyrus vs. OKC.
Rose against the Lakers.
I'll take Gordon vs the Lakers
I'll take Rose vs LAL.
I'll take Tyrus vs the Heat
