On the Bulls: Blog a Bull
Milwaukee kicks off their season series against the new-look Chicago Bulls seeking to upset a team that has rounded into one of the East's best. Two months ago, the popular question was which of these two teams had the inside track toward winning the Central. Today, it seems more likely the Bulls will win the East than Milwaukee the division. Still, there should be no lack of motivation for Milwaukee following last night's torching by the Hawks.
Boykins suspended one game. Earl Boykins has been suspended one game for making inappropriate contact with an official during last night's game. Boykins received his first career technical for the act and will miss tonight's game. Hopefully the Bucks can overcome the loss of Boykins' recent scoring prowess.
Bulls roster incomplete. The most obvious issue with Chicago's current lineup is the absence of Joakim Noah, recovering from his December 16th thumb surgery. In his absence, new arrival Carlos Boozer has picked up much of the slack inside, averaging over 25 PPG and 11 RPG. Boozer missed some time at the beginning of the season due to injury, but hasn't seemed to missed a beat since returning. Noah's defense is often praised (as it should be), yet this season the Bulls' DRtg is 8.3 points better when Noah is on the bench - an interesting stat, one that doesn't quite seem to pass the eye-test. Regardless, ex-Celtics assistant and defensive guru Tom Thibodeau has undeniably done his thing in Chicago, lowering Chicago's DRtg almost 5 points so far this season to 97.7, third best in the NBA.
The other issue has been at the two spot, where Keith Bogans has started every game to limited effect. It's difficult to call Bogans anything more than a placeholder - his 11.1 USG% is higher than only Brian Scalabrine's 9.28. Blog a Bull questions whether or not Chicago should deal for a new shooting guard or try to patch things up internally. Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer have taken most of the remaining minutes at the two.
No dream PG matchup. Ask any casual NBA fan what the best matchup in a Bulls/Bucks game would be, chances are they'd point to the point, with the speedy Jennings checking the athletic Rose. Tonight, that matchup figures to be at least slightly less compelling, as the electrifying Derrick Rose will be matched up against Keyon Dooling. In 8 career games against Milwaukee, Rose is averaging 8.1 assists per game, most against any opponent. Whether this reflects good defense on Rose himself or bad defense on Chicago's other playmakers is difficult to say, but the Bulls aren't short on offensive weapons these days, meaning the Bucks will have to be disciplined on defense for 48 minutes (42 if you're Zach Randolph).
Defending Rose. Going a little more in-depth, K.C. Johnson at the Chicago Tribune highlights how Derrick Rose's game has changed this year. Rose has turned into somewhat of a volume-scorer, averaging a career high in points this season. But his assists and rebounds are also up, showing an all-around improvement in his game that makes him one of the best guards in the league. Yet the Bulls have had issues spacing the floor for Rose, leading to turnover issues as he is forced to be more aggressive with the ball. Rose has 13 turnovers in his last two games, and while Jennings' quick hands and feet won't be there to bother him, the Bucks still have options to frustrate him. While Andrew Bogut is on the floor, Milwaukee can afford to play up on Rose and look to disrupt his passing and ball handling, knowing that they have a very skilled defender guarding the rim. Derrick is always quick to get to the basket, but doesn't get to the line as much as many people think he should. While Chicago can score from almost every position, the offense unquestionably runs through Rose, so disrupting his game is key.
CDR frustrated, looking to snap out of funk. Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal hears from Chris Douglas-Roberts about his recent struggles. CDR had a (predictably) difficult time checking Josh Smith last night and wound up playing only 15 ineffective minutes. Smith presents a very difficult matchup for just about every player in the NBA, but Douglas-Roberts knows that his team needs strong performances out of him to be competitive.
Running on adrenaline. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Scott Skiles' minutes management last night was particularly noteworthy: it was only the second time this season that a team played their starting backcourt and center for over 40 minutes each in a game. The New York Knicks did the same against Denver on December 12. The first night of a back-to-back is an unfortunate time to play heavy minutes, so hopefully those guys got a good night's sleep.
Stat of Encouragement. Kurt Thomas, who has moved into the Bulls' starting lineup in Noah's absence, is giving up 21 points and 13.5 rebounds per 48 minutes to opposing centers when manning the pivot.

This could get either terrible or it could be like the Laker game on the 2nd night of a back to back.
Only difference is that the Bulls will actually care.

Sorry, this touch screen keyboard can be a pain sometimes.
I meant to say the Bucks are screwed with only Dooling available to suit up tonight at point. I suppose Salmons or CDR will have to play some emergency point guard. After putting out two point guard lineups frequently this season, Skiles may have to run at least 10 minutes of no point lineups tonight. I expect a lot of turnovers for the Bucks tonight.

Dooling playing 41 minutes last night doesn't help
If Skiles doesn’t play Dooling the whole game, I’d vote for a CDR/Salmons backcourt with Luc at SF on offense but defending Rose.
Btw, is now a good time to point out that Delfino would probably be our emergency PG if all of our regular PGs were hurt? Yeesh.

This loss tonight, I hope will either “trigger” us to go make some deals to help us get better! I wanna win, I am CHEERING for the “Bucks” HERE@theUC!
But, it feels like a Blowout!
Boozer>Ersan>Sanders>Brockman:
Ersan will get posted up by Boozer all night. Trade with Philly / Cleveland for Brand / Hickson may counter this?
Rose>Dooling<Boykins and a <*HEALTHY*Jennings:
The Chicago PG is just too “Elite” for the Bucks EVEN BJ would not even fair as well!
BogansCDR=Korver:
Hopefully, Salmons has a BIG night against his former team?
Luol Deng>CDR=LRMAM
Deng can SCORE…and CDR is out of place which puts the LOAD on LRMAM…who can’t SCORE!
Bogut>Kurt Thomas<Noah:
Bogut should have this, (I am@ this game right now!) WATCHING this match up…because with all the EXPECTATIONS for Brockman not panning out. May have NEW argument about keep KT and NOT wasting this pick we used for Brockness!
I am gonna wish in one hand and crap in the other..LOSS!

If I have an issue with CDR and Salmons as shooting guards, it is that they both average athletes.
Makes it harder for the Bucks to create shots, especially with Jennings out. CDR has had his shot blocked at the rim 5 times already tonight.
"Average" might be charitable in CDR's case

Lets see how that works out for them in the Playoffs
But once Lebron finally has organised the league how he wants it, I expect he will have Paul at PG, Howard at C, and may finally win a title
Boykins is out suspended...Dangnammit! That would be hilarious!

Can't expect him to do well when he can't get any RHYTHM because he doesn't get to play more than 11 minutes!
I never use a big word when a diminutive word would suffice.
And then he scores!

They're the only way we can score, apparently
During timeouts, Skiles just scribbles on his clipboard and says “Make it happen”.

Want to know what CDR feels about his play of late??
Charles Gardner interviewed CDR for JSOnline today about CDR’’s recent play. You guys might want to read the article to learn what CDR has to say. He’s apparently unhappy and frustrated with his game lately. He’s not blaming the coach or anyone else. He’s a classy player with heart.

Wow, whole different sport, but Vikings just went up by a touchdown on the Eagles in Philly.
14-7 if the play stands after Reid’s challenge.
Any given Tuesday.

Weird, Maggette looses the ball then tries an alley oop to himself and gets an offensive foul.
Creative ways to miss hoops.
At least the Bucks are back to OWNING the boards again

The way the Bucks are shooting, they might have to take some Bulls points off the board.

I like Bogut
But he has no real offensive game. We desperately need front-court scoring.
This game is over ..

WTF just happened?
Was that a foul or was he just awful..?

To be fair it was a foul
But I’m beyond giving Magette any credit, can’t blame others for the same
Who am I supposed to pick as three Bucks tonight?
Luc is the only guy I feel really good about. Bogut’s been solid on D but horrible on offense. Salmons hasn’t scored since the Carter administration.
Skinner and Redd.

Pick Dooling for just putting everything out there for all those minutes.
And Maggette for getting back into his Bad Porn routine again.

Think you need to give one to the good members of the forum
We’ve sat through too many games on offense like this this year, and keep coming back to support the team
Boykins...for the difference he WOULDA Made if he hadn't been screwed by the league...

As much as we need a good scorer
I think we need to be a little careful. No point taking on bad contracts to get a few extra points

Ya, good point
It has been really disappointing how badly that has turned out. In theory, it seemed like a good match.
My wish for the next NBA collective bargaining agreement.
Give every team in the league the opportunity to buyout one bad contract a season. They would only be on the hook for 1/4 the value of the contract on their cap after the buyout. The team would have to buyout the player before the trading deadline to give the dumped player an opportunity to get picked up by another team.
Happy New Year everyone
I am switching to college basketball for the forseeable future. I just cannot watch this team anymore.

The mad Turk “scrub” gets stripped off a rebound of a missed FT. Is this some sort of sick joke?

It would be a little unfair
But surely replacing Skiles has to start to become an option?
Someone has to be able to get a 40% FG game out of this team?

2nd quarter is usually when Thibs plays his hockey-lineup of all bench players...
But he’s a rookie coach and he’s got us at 20-10 so I’m not gonna complain… Although many others on BAB are… Bogans and such…

Really good game preview, Dan.
Enjoyed the stat-bits and research.
Fuck the Big Macs!
My observation from last night:
1. Would have thought “Squad Six” would have traveled to this game.
2. Salmons looked descent at the PG spot, don’t know why Dooling is even on this team!
3. Luc really surprised me on Offense last night.
4. Bogut angers me so badly, I just don’t understand why he settles for layups rather than sure thing dunks. He will “Never” have the killer instinct.
5. The Bulls should have blown us out, they played like balls, that was the game we should have won.
6. We got jobbed by the league with the “Scotty Williams part 2”
7. The officiating in that game was horrible, and the Bucks weren’t aggressive enough to change their fortunes.
8. The moves we made over the summer were all for waste! Blame Hammond.
