if the docs say he is healthy, the reason you play him is to get his mind right. let him get out there and get a feel for the game this year. let him test out the knee. let him learn to trust the knee. let him do it this year when nothing matters vs next year when things matter. and assuming they make the playoffs, which they should, let him get anouther round of seasoning in. even if they end up as a 6 or 7 seed, it's a great learning expiernce to play one of the better teams.
however, if they do come out and play like complete shit and are sitting in the bottom 1/4 of the league in wins...then yeah, tanking the season to get the next duncan might not be a bad thing.
he was never a great shooter, but man, he looks aweful. and it's not just this game, it's been preseason as well. yeah, i watched some preseason :fp:
Preseason Bulls huh? Now that is dedication.
I'm thinking 43-45 wins and a 6-7 seed for this team. Maybe get Rose back for the last few weeks going into the playoffs.
no hockey on, baseball ends for me at the all star break when football gears up...gotta watch something.
i pegged them at 52 wins a few pages back and got laughed at. still think they can manage to do in a confrence filled with bobcats, wizards, magic, cavs, pistons etc.
if noah stays healthy, he might be the all star starting center (not that they have centers anymore per the ballot)
boozer was actually attacking the rim last night vs chucking jumpers up all night.
bench is a mess. poor deng is going to have to log 54 minutes on most nights.
robinson has suprised me a bit. he's looked solid so far.
i don't love this team, but it's still a solid team that can challenge for the division or at least a top 4 seed.
So, when is this team going to amnesty cotton-soft Boozer? :corn:
7/2/06 - Denver, CO
6/12/08 - Tampa, FL
8/23/09 - Chicago, IL
9/28/09 - Salt Lake City, UT (11 years too long!!!)
9/03/11 - East Troy, WI - PJ20 - Night 1
9/04/11 - East Troy, WI - PJ20 - Night 2
how in the hell is ashik shooting 72% from the stripe.
Wow. Those FTs could have come in handy last year in the playoffs :fp: Oh well, it was still the right move not to match that ridiculous contract that Houston gave him.

he went 9-11 from the charity stripe in one game this year. read it again 9 for 11 :fp: i don't think he hit 9 ft's all of last season. :fp:
I'll go with 40-42 wins. I think what they showed in the first 10 games is what they are going to be. An average team. Even with a healthy Rose, this team wasn't doing anything this season.....the bench is so weak.

rose makes such a huge differnce. nobody on this team can create or break down a defense.
agreed on the bench....taj, butler and robinson are ok. the rest suck. the 3pt shooting is aweful. going to be along painful season

Don't be sleeping.
23 points and 10 boards to lead the way. you are wise beyond your years
It's one game, let's not freak out just yet!!!
Man, it's hard to get excited to watch this team without Rose.
