Idk Boston maybe, but my guess is they want to shed salary for free agency and not take on Noel's cap hold. Portland and GSW could really use him but what would they feasibly get back?

Seems like his trade value is surpressed due to market limitations, but admittedly I only glanced at possible candidates.

That is a jump shot from a human being who has been playing professional basketball for 9 straight years. He is currently signed to a 4-year, 72 million dollar contract.

And that is his jump shot. He doesn't even appear to understand how to take a jump shot - there's some kind of weird push/flick motion he's doing, and it's barely a real shot. You can see the same **** here



How do you get paid this much and play this long and not even know how to take a jump shot? Never mind making a jump shot, dude doesn't even understand how they're supposed to look at all.

Incredible that in 2014 he was first team all NBA and 4th in MVP voting too.

He's still a 70%FT in career

That's better than a lot of center who can't shoot and never go over 60% at the line

And he has a really good handle for a center

Bulls should've traded Noah his MVP charting season. Thibs broke his body, should've gotten something out of it.

Bulls vs Celtics tonight in a possible playoff preview. Celtics will have the built in excuse of missing Horford (concussion) but anyone who pays attention to the league knows that doesn't mean much since big Al is softer than baby****.

Hoiberg's offense is #1 in offensive efficiency, beating #2 Cleveland by almost 3 full points. Bulls starters have not seen much action in the last two fourth quarters, they will be fresh and they will be running at every opportunity. Taj Gibson has posted 2 double doubles in 3 games, he didn't record his second double double last season until Christmas. He is also shooting 63%. Will Brad Stevens be able to slow down this offensive juggernaut that hasn't even scratched the surface of its potential?

Through 3 games the bulls are shooting 43% from 3 on 25 attempts per game. You are correct that there certainly is reason to believe the team can and will grow in the system. But from a pure output (team ORTG) perspective it is very unlikely they will improve. The positive variance of their 3 pt shooting far outweighs any improvement or growth within the system.

Lol at Geoff for biting on that one.
11-02-2016 , 06:36 PM
Niko and Doug have been ****ting the bed shooting 3s other than Doug's 5/6 game 2 performance. If those two will take the most threes and improve to where they should be and the offense becomes tighter with experience I see them not losing too much.

Bulls destroyed Celtics on the boards last game, it'll be interesting to see how Boston responds to getting punked in Chicago. Also worth noting: Butler and Wade went 5/23 on two pt fg attempts last week against Boston. The bulls have trailed for a total of 41 seconds total this season.

What does Leo have to say about Rondo taking all the crunch time shots?
11-03-2016 , 12:11 AM
That airball was terrible but I saw nothing wrong with that baseline shot. That game was sloppy for both sides, I get the feeling Hoiberg said **** it when they were down 14 and ran with those weird lineups. Hopefully everyone is full strength next time they play.
11-03-2016 , 12:22 AM
I am pretty sure there was a bad rondo floater near the end of the game too.

Sixers have now lost 41 consecutive October/November games.

Lol Labron. Go back to being a Yankees fan you ringchasing coward.
