Post subject: | Clippers @ Bulls |
If the Bulls can pull out a victory they will officially be ahead of the 67 win pace set by the Dallas Mavericks last year. Not too shabby. |

Here's a few tidbits for tonight's game: 1) LAC's combined opponents, coming into tonight's game, are 0-9. 2) LAC's lead the lead in scoring at 117.5 per game. It's only been 2 games though. 3) LAC's give up 107.5 per game, 6th most. Again, meaningless being that it's so early, but we are seeing a new style from the ClipJoint this season with their run n' gun. 4) In their 8 pre-season games, LAC averaged 102 PPG. 5) Chris Kaman, the caveman, is averaging 18.0 and 16.5 rebounds through 2 games, justifying his big contract so far from last season, and helping make up for Elton Brand's absense. |

Yes. Kaman has had a couple of big games so far. The Bulls don't have a big body that can contain him without sending him to the foul line 15 times. Look for him to run roughshod in the paint. |

We have Ben Wallace....no wait, Joakim Noah. You're right, Kaman will probably murder us tonight. |

You know, I have Al Thornton on the bench tonight in the fantasy league, but against the Bulls frontcourt that might be a mistake Hasn't got a ton of pt yet though |

They just need to hit a few jump shots, and things will take care of themselves. Bulls win 108-94. |

He's gotten ~15 min. in the 1st 2 games. Might have something to do with Kaman playing well |

Might have something to do with Kaman playing well Clippers have a lot of veteran type players, so I'm guessing Dunleavy is just going with them because he knows what they are going to do. |

lets see, so the bulls are getting about 17 FT attempts for every 100 FG attempts. (25th in league) We give up 35.3 per 100.... (29th) The Clippers are getting 32.8 FT attempts per 100 fg attempts. (2nd) they're only giving up 20.9 (12th) hey and we cant rebound the ball very well on defense either! (29th in OREB%) (OREB% = Percentage of offensive rebounds (OREB/(OREB+opposition DREB)) so what im trying to say is that the bulls are going to go to the line about half as much as the clips. could be around 20 attempts to the clipper's 40. they'll make about 75-80 percent. so that will give them about 15 points on us. i predict we lose by 6. Our defense keeps us somewhat in it but they will have some offensive boards that will hurt your insides. hey its only been 3 games for the bulls and 2 for the clips. we just got 2 days to heal our wounds. we could win this game but the offense just looks ugly out there. we havent turned the ball over that much but we're just shooting so poorly. and we arent running plays very well at all. lets get deng invovled. we have to give minutes to wallace and thomas and hope they can rebound the ball well. is wallace playing tonight? our defense has looked pretty good (besides our rebounding) and its only been 3 games so lets go out and get a big win (lets say 15 point margin). then i will have more hope for the first half of the season. |

and 1 last thing, if u look at the foul calls, its been about even throughout the season. We just arent getting any shooting fouls and other teams are pretty much only getting shooting fouls. if wallace can manage to produce 1 more energetic rebounding season we better get rid of him right after. maybe we can trade him while he still semi-valuable. when his contract expires it will mean big cap relief for w/e team he's on. we should do this before other teams notice how much of a decline we've seen from him. i geuss it's prob too late for that. kirk, please stay out of foul trouble (could we see duhon possibly start? skiles is crazy like that). deng, lets see you get aggressive and smart on offense. this is 1 guy i want to see going to the line more. 1 of the few guys in a position to do so without gettin knocked all over the court. maybe tyrus thomas could play well more consistantly. man im ready for the game, i wish there was some1 to banter with watch the clips attack gordon everytime he's in the game. it's unfortunate he's so tiny. |

good start for the bulls. 7:30 left in first it looked like they were trying to get kirk into foul trouble and it looks like the refs are missin some calls in favor of both teams early. |

So far, I'm pleased - they are much more aggressive in attacking the basket. The Clippers are playing exactly how I imagined, just launching up shot after shot. |
Author: | UmPhreak [ Tue Nov 06, 2007 8:54 pm ] |
Post subject: | |
open shots though. theyve been trying to attack the basket to get us in foul trouble and theyve managed to dish back out for a few open shots early. i'll take that over foul trouble and inside shots though. deng is looking more aggressive which i really like. i think thomas has 2 blocks already |

As good as the Bulls have looked, especially when compared to the first 3 games of the season, they are still losing here in the 1st. Overall, just stay agressive, and get back on defense, and they should win their 1st game of the year. |

Brevin Kinight is an extremely pesky player. I've always been a fan of his. |
