so im sure hyped tonight

Posted by: dasox24 Oct 28 2008, 06:00 PM

I am so excited about this game, mainly because I can't wait to start watching what Rose can do in a regular season game. I know he'll have ups and downs this season, but he's the best thing to happen to our team in a long time.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 06:02 PM

still cant believe we got first pick, very hard to believe since ive been living under a rock for a while. but ye rose should be something special

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 06:03 PM

I am super excited right now.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 06:07 PM

waddup kjshoe04 nice to have you on board!! hopefully theres some more turnout for tonight

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 06:13 PM

Is this game gonna be on WGN or what? Nothing is coming up for me.

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 06:43 PM

looks like i dont get this for some reason. This sucks.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 06:44 PM

You in Normal? SHould be on WGN Superstation.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 06:45 PM

What is that song for the intro?

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 06:46 PM

yeah im in normal, I've got the ropers, it says WGN America, I've never not been able to watch the bulls on WGN before. This blows.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 06:47 PM

They are really getting elaborate for the first game.

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 06:48 PM

Found it, Badass.

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 06:51 PM

Looks like its just me and you here Brian. I'm super excited to see TT.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 06:56 PM

Did they trade Yi for Jefferson straight up?

Posted by: dasox24 Oct 28 2008, 06:57 PM

I didn't think I was gonna get the game, but I'm getting it on some sort of additional NBA channel... So I'm pumped!

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 06:57 PM

MoJo?

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 06:59 PM

I love Tyrus.

Posted by: jorgefabregas Oct 28 2008, 07:03 PM

Bucks at home. Should win.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:06 PM

Why they wave off the oop?

Posted by: dasox24 Oct 28 2008, 07:08 PM

It was probably a make-up call b/c Tyrus dribbled off his foot. That should have been a backcourt violation anyway.

But, Rose looking good early.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:08 PM

that alley opp call was Bullshit, that was good

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 07:08 PM

Pretty sure they called goaltending, though they're speculating it was a makeup for the no-call on the backcourt.

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 07:09 PM

Um, yeah, that one wasn't a makeup...

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:09 PM

If that's the case, had to be make up. Not even close to goaltending.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:09 PM

Someone box Bogut out.

Posted by: jorgefabregas Oct 28 2008, 07:11 PM

I read that Chris Duhon was going to be the starting PG for the Knicks.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:11 PM

I did too. Thought it was the comic section of the paper but it wasn't.

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 07:12 PM

yeah, I got him on my ol fantasy team hoping he gets inflated stats from the system.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:14 PM

Is that Sampson on the Bucks coaching staff?

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:16 PM

man i f***ing love basketball..

redd is such a scorer

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:16 PM

gordon in... anyone remember the gordon vs. redd game i think 2 years ago? that spiff was amazing

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 07:17 PM

I hate how disappointed I am when Rose isn't in the game.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:18 PM

werd haha...


and ah like any sport, the early turnovers are relevant here. Many traveling calls

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:18 PM

Yeah, Deng.

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 07:19 PM

How the hell did we let Malik Allen get 6 points so fast?!?!?!

Posted by: Balta1701-B Oct 28 2008, 07:19 PM

I think so yeah, he and skiles have been friends for a while

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 07:20 PM

Noc Sighting.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:20 PM

sahit man are team is like 4-8 free throws.. bogus

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 07:20 PM

Damn, Deng looks exponentially better than he did in the pre-season.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:21 PM

Gotta hit the defensive glass better.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:27 PM

Put Rose back in.

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 07:27 PM

Haha, Mbah a Moute has 2 illegal defense calls already.

Posted by: kjshoe04 Oct 28 2008, 07:27 PM

agreed, it's pathetic without him.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:27 PM

stupid mistakes man....

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:28 PM

Stupid turnovers.

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 07:31 PM

Hell of a play by Tyrus.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:32 PM

Weak fouls being called. Let em play.

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 28 2008, 07:36 PM

So does anyone outside of Chicago know how/where to watch this game?!?!?

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:36 PM

WE CANT HIT A FREE THROW!!!!!!!!!

or so it feels

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:37 PM

Not on WGN Superstation?

Check channelsurfing.net

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 07:38 PM

I like all of the free throws we're getting, but we have to make more of them.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:38 PM

i have directtvs nba league pass... .

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:40 PM

i think i hear some fan heckling gordon. gordon shot and he yelled "YOU SUCK"

and now hes yelling "1 point gordon. 1 point gordon" or some spiff...


im watching bucks broadcast btw

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:41 PM

This game sucks now. So slow and fouls every possession. No flow.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:42 PM

this. im thinking the same thing man

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:44 PM

ive always hated the Milwaukee broadcast, their commercials and ish suck. games not even in hd

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:46 PM

lmao, the guy keeps hecling gordon all over the boradcast.. TRADE BEN GORDON NOW!!! etc.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:48 PM

That may just be the NBA Pass not offering the feed in HD. I never had it so don't know.

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:51 PM

Box the F out.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:52 PM

good spiff rose to thomas opp

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 07:58 PM

deng = great half

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 07:58 PM

Decent 1st half offensively. Gets slow with no Rose out there. It's nice to get to the line so much. We didn't do that at all last year. Just gotta knock em down consistently.

Gotta box out on defense.

Good job Tyrus so far.

Posted by: soxfan101 Oct 28 2008, 08:00 PM

We definitely need to improve on the defensive rebounding department, getting abused down there. Besides that, just some stupid turnovers on offense but overall not too bad of a start for the Bulls.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:12 PM

both teams struggled defensively

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:14 PM

OH spiff ROSE!

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 08:15 PM

Man, Redd is on fire.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:15 PM

damn rose is amazing to watch

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 08:16 PM

May wanna stay on Redd

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 08:17 PM

Man, here come the 3's. Close out people...

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:23 PM

what yall think about Milwaukee as a team?

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 08:27 PM

Not very good. They can score a bit but have numerous defenders that are average or worse, little depth, and below average PG play.

Posted by: soxfan101 Oct 28 2008, 08:31 PM

I wouldnt say they are a pushover though, definitely not a playoff team.

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 08:33 PM

Well, there are few total pushovers out there and you never know if Redd/Jefferson get hot, but they're a team that good teams should beat with regularity.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:33 PM

hell yeah love all the fouls the bucks are getting

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:35 PM

Vintage ben gordon for three

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:37 PM

our shots are going down hinrich for three

Posted by: Brian Oct 28 2008, 08:37 PM

I like Kirk coming off the bench.

Posted by: Sanitarium Oct 28 2008, 08:37 PM

4 fouls on Jefferson and Bogut is BIG going into the 4th

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:38 PM

im not a fan of noc, i think he's done

but so far - good game for the bulls, we should be able to close it out against these bucks.

Posted by: soxfan101 Oct 28 2008, 08:38 PM

Time to find out if we can close out games this season or not lol, it seemed everytime we had a lead last season we would blow it in the 4th.

Posted by: MB33 Oct 28 2008, 08:39 PM

Just give Tyrus consistant minutes and he will give u good numbers

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:40 PM

LETS DO THIS!!!!!!!!! GORDON FOR THREE!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Sanitarium Oct 28 2008, 08:42 PM

yeah... he's been a "slump" for a while now

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:43 PM

bulls making alot of shots, im liking what i see

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:44 PM

these refs seem to love us... home court? ...

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 28 2008, 08:44 PM

Tyrus leads the team with 32ish minutes...

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 08:50 PM

Thabo basically hasn't seen the floor since his first stint...

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:50 PM

i hate the lane violation calls, tyrus with a nice shot

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:54 PM

ight lets get this ish finished and start the season off positively

Posted by: jorgefabregas Oct 28 2008, 08:58 PM

Tyrus looked great from the line in the pre-season. Wha happened?

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 08:59 PM

up 10 4:45 remaining. FINISH

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 09:02 PM

rose out their in the first big time situation of the year!!... nice

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 09:04 PM

spiff man tyrus with 15 points 10 rebounds, theres some nice fantasy stats, if he gets this amount of time more often then hell be a stud fo sho

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 09:04 PM

gordon with the three, this should be game up 15 with 3 minutes left

Posted by: jorgefabregas Oct 28 2008, 09:06 PM

Stacey just said that Cleveland would be 6th in the East. Really?

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 09:07 PM

1-0 bulls. d-rose first win woohoo

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 09:07 PM

naw, theyll be higher lol

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 28 2008, 09:08 PM

Just ignore Stacey, he had 3 teams from the Atlantic division in his top-4, which can't happen.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 09:08 PM

wtf their replaying michael redds three pointer? lol, difficult to see, and how stupid, ridiculous

Posted by: jorgefabregas Oct 28 2008, 09:10 PM

I meant "does he really think that?"

It's silly.

Yeah, that replay was a waste of time.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 28 2008, 09:10 PM

good game all around, tyrus, rose, gordon, hincirch, deng, very good

Posted by: steve9347 Oct 28 2008, 09:13 PM

The Bulls are freaking back!

Oh, and the game was only on local WGN... tough break for you out of towners.

Posted by: Balta1701-B Oct 28 2008, 09:15 PM

Key point...got 41 minutes, only called for 3 fouls. Sure he was at home...but that's the key to getting those minutes.

Posted by: soxfan101 Oct 28 2008, 09:26 PM

I was surprised by some of the no calls on the refs today, maybe that no flop rule is being taken to heart. Also I guess the less defense you play the less you will foul too lol.

Posted by: chilord Oct 28 2008, 09:29 PM

Just an all around nice game. Great start to the season.

Posted by: jorgefabregas Oct 28 2008, 09:35 PM

Bulls won or tied every quarter.

Posted by: dasox24 Oct 28 2008, 09:37 PM

Great way to start the season... The 2nd half was a treat to watch, as the 2nd quarter bored the hell out of me. The offense, and Derrick Rose, looked good.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 28 2008, 10:32 PM

Tyrus Thomas is the real deal now I think. He's so active on the boards, and getting to the line, I love it! Hopefully this continues throughout the season. 15 and 10 today is impressive. Keep it up Tyrus

Posted by: soxfan3530 Oct 28 2008, 10:44 PM

Great way to start the season. i was at the game and the cheer for rose at the starting lineups was awesome. the crowd really got into it as the game went along. good starts for rose, deng, tyrus, hinrich, gordon and gooden. all and all a nice win all around!

Posted by: rangercal Oct 28 2008, 11:04 PM

NBA League Pass. So I was fine.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 29 2008, 01:08 PM

Yeah me too thankfully, but that stuff is only free for a week I beleive.. So the next time I won't be as fortunate.

Posted by: MB33 Oct 29 2008, 05:57 PM

Offense did look good because our shots was falling.Let see what they do when they are not will they continue to chuck it up or will they be smart and feed it to the post to gooden or even gray since they are and average post player.

Posted by: truthandbasketball Oct 31 2008, 03:52 AM

I was fortunate enough to attend this game with a few friends and my girlfriend and it was a beautiful thing. We were within shouting distance of the floor so I have to admit there was some heckling going on against the Bucks, lol. I booed everytime Jefferson got it and I swear I made Redd miss at least one free throw
Derrick Rose being announced as being "from Chicago" and not Memphis made the UC electric!!!! The kid played unselfish, got our team moving and del Negro seems to encourage a more up-tempo game out of our young guys which I like. Tyrus was impressive running the floor,crashing boards and what he brings defensively with steals and blocks is huge. The way he was working you can see flashes of what he did at LSU in his enthusiasm. I also love the fact that he is hitting his deep jumpers. This will confuse defenders on how to cover him, with speed and elevation he just needs to add a crossover to take his game to take it to the next level. Gordon was a sniper off the bench, Rose and Gordon are a nice 1-2 punch. Deng continues to impress me and showed that he is capable of scoring also. Play of the game was the Rose steal and dunk. A veteran move at such a young age, this kid is special! Believe that!!! Vinny's 1-0!!! Go Bulls!!!!

Posted by: dasox24 Oct 31 2008, 05:53 AM

Very nice recap... You know, you mentioning being at the game made me realize that of all my favorite sports teams, I've been to home games for all of them except the Bulls. I've seen a game at Soldier Field, the Cell, Memorial Stadium (Illinois), but I've never seen a Bulls game at the United Center. I have seen them play, but it was in Memphis 7 years ago. Not exactly when we were winning games, lol...

Btw, did anyone else find the "Gordon heckler" kinda funny during the Bucks game? Maybe it's b/c I'm not much of a Ben Gordon fan, but I was thought it was pretty funny.

Posted by: CryptViLL Oct 31 2008, 07:39 AM

i heard it to, im undecided on how i feel about gordon, but he rubbed me the wrong way with the contract signing.
