last couple of games have looked almost effortless for him.

yeah we are, a lot of those games where i felt we would win without a doubt are more like 60% now.  It will be interesting to see how we will handle Griffin Saturday.  We are going to need our guards to step up more in the rebounding area.  The big question is who will be our vocal leader on defense

 

[antbanks81]

It will be a tough road, but the bench just has to step up. Gibson will get more minutes, and Asik will have to contribute more and stay out of foul trouble. I live for the day I see Noah go a full 82.

It was odd hearing he was having surgery yet playing tonight. SMH

losing noah is tough, losing all those boards

do we go get another body or do we stay put?

I think we stay put. Hopefully TAJ will help like he did when booz was out. Plus...we have depth at the position.

 

[remi23]

I'm glad we have Taj he's very important to this team

 

[remi23]

This is why i didn't agree with the Bulls giving him all that money dude can't even play a full 82

 

[newbs24]

Taj should be enough to keep this team atop the Central. Great rebounder defender and really does dirty work. Not tall enough to guard a good 5 which will hurt. Problem is: games will be closer making Rose and Booz have to play 40. Dec and Jan are a joke. Maybe 4 tough games. February steps it up a little but I can easily see a .600 win pct in those games. Not overly worried outside of Rose and Booz

 

[getmoneyforever]

I think we should be alright Taj going to do alright while Noah is out

 

[seymore cake]

Someone post the schedule for the next 8 weeks...

Injuries are apart of the game so to say that's not a reason to pay dude who's never had this issue before now is crazy to me.  The team nor Noah could forsee this injury taking place.  Let's just hope he heals and gets back quick. 

 

[jmause3]

I see some games where we may have some problems with some centers that i thought we would win without him. i.e. Mil, NJ, Memphis, maybe even IND.

Damn with that schedule we shouldn't have lost a game until Boston

 

[seymore cake]

@ the thought of losing to the NYK's twice...

That would be ugly

 

[casperjr]

And here I was thinking we could win every game up until that Boston game

 

[everysingletime]

Honestly, if Drose was at 100 percent right now I wouldn't even be worried that Noah is out. 

But I'm concerned because Rose admitted that the soreness on his right arm has affected his shot.  That's why he didn't shoot much at all last night.

‘‘That’s why I didn’t try to shoot that much,’’ he said. ‘‘I knew that if I shot the ball a lot, they weren’t going to go in."

This should be just as concerning as Noah's absence.

We could've weathered the storm easily with a lights out shooting Derrick Rose that we've been seeing.

That schedule is light. 

 

[seymore cake]

I want to punch Brandon Rush in the face.

 

[jmause3]

the more i think about the work we coulda did on that schedule just makes me more mad about the injuries

 

[everysingletime]

I just hope Drose's jump shot isn't broke for an extended period of time.  

 

[antbanks81]

the injury bug is hitting us hard and we are only two months into the season (barely)

on another note...how is rose not top two in voting for guards? wade and rondo got the backcourt on lock now

and why the hell is there a link on nba front page that says rose deng noah and boozer are among leaders? story doesnt even mention them...noah gonna miss another all star game b/c of injury

 

[alexanderfasto]

Honestly In my Opinion, Asik will start, and we may see K.Thomas..

But Bulls still need another body in there..

I'm not surprised if Bulls acquires another Big Man (J.Boone, Sean Williams, and maybe Sheed

)

 

[lavious]

Rasheed would be an absolute disaster for the Bulls. They have one of the best locker rooms in the league & he wouldn't care/play hard until the playoffs... Maybe.
