Hitting up my first Bulls game tonight against the Warriors.

Praying for a Jeremy Lin 50 point game.

Hitting up my first Bulls game tonight against the Warriors.

Praying for a Jeremy Lin 50 point game.

He got some nice minutes vs. Toronto, made one bad pass, and Smart yanked him. He is on a very short leash right now. He put up some real nice numbers in the short time he was out there vs Toronto. Alot of intangibles. Plays GREAT defense, but can;t really shoot, very good passer. He only got a few minutes last night, the Knicks guards were all over him bringing the ball up so Smart promptly pulled him.

Reggie Williams has been a disaster outside of the Nellie system so far, and Charlie Bell is just awful. We need minutes coming from somewhere guard wise. We really need a veteran backup PG. Curry and Monta are logging HEAVY minutes, don't know what to expect on the back to back, I'd imagine we'd have to see Lin for at least 10 min. tonight.

So what do you think about my Warriors? I remember you calling them awful before the season started, and I told you we'd probably be better than what people thought. They thought we would be the same old warriors, but it was evident in the pre-season Smart gave us a whole new identity.

We are going to need alot of help. Monta and Curry are just logging way too much court time, especially Curry on the bad wheel. Monta, Curry, Lee and Beans on the boards are carrying us right now, and we can't keeping winning with just that formula. I wish we could, but I'm guessing for a long season no way.

Lee finally had a break out offensive game last night. DWright saved us shooting those 3s late vs. Knicks. Vlad and Reggie Williams really hurt us when they are out there. W's are 6-0 when Lee gets a double double.

A little scared for the DRose matchup tonight. Our guards got owned by physical stronger guards like Stuckey, and Rip. Rose could pose a problem defensively.

I'll be there too. I expect the Bucks to get punished throughout the game though.

We are coming off a back to back and the 4th game in 5 days. Monta is playing through the back injury, and Curry has the bad wheel from time to time.

These guys play heavy minutes too. It will be interesting to see what happens tonight, this team is very tired. I'll take the W if we can get one

Don't worry though, if Rose is matched up with Monta.... Ellis will be able to really go off because Rose is still a step behind defensively.

As far as what I think about the Warriors, I still think they are what I thought they were. Awful was harsh but it's not a playoff team. They are really relining on their top players now which is fine but I wonder if they are riding them a bit too hard. So while they are playing at a pretty decent level now, that's going to really drag them down soon when these guys are flat wore out.

I'd also like to see Lee get way more touches on offense and get more involved, but that probably comes with time. It would be beneficial though because backdown Lee possessions can give Curry/Ellis some offensive possessions off.

Lee is a last minute scratch, what the hell. Dude was just bleeding a little for knocking out Chandler's tooth. Come on. Stupid infections. Guess rumors were true part of Chanlder's tooth was still in Lee's arm after the game.

Never seen anyone use the behind the back dribble as effectively or as effortlessly as Ginobili also
if you watch this move carefully, FOUR of the Clippers have a shot at defending Manu and he beats them all. the Clips are playing a two-three zone.

He splits between the two guys in the zone near the top of the arc with his behnd the back dribble, then as he careens down the lane, he makes a little move that fakes the guy playing the right wing into taking himself completely out of the play to cover a non-existant player and then Manu puts the ball up with his right hand, avoiding the blake griffin block.

Miami's getting wrecked by Boston atm. Maybe they can come back who knows?

and it comes a day after reports that haslem says he wants the team to play with fire

It was evident early on that the Ws would be no match for anyone tonight. No Lee, Smart didn't really have a game plan, lazy tired passes right off the get go, and it was the sign of a team playing 4 games in 5 nights. The whole Lee scenario from last night is kind of bizzare.

[FedEx227]

If I'm Miami I deal Haslem and someone else for a real center. Bosh is fine playing 38+ minutes at power forward a game, but right now they are getting obliterated on the low block.

Or their $100 million PF/C can go to the block occasionally or maybe pick up a rebound or two along the way?

Well I thoroughly enjoyed the first few weeks of the season I knew it was too good to be true. Finally had a good starting lineup, a team starting to play together, and it's all for not because of Wilson Chandlers tooth. See you in Decemeber David Lee.

"Warriors power forward David Lee has returned to the Bay Area, where he will have surgery to clean out an infection in his left elbow. The team has not officially announced a timetable for his return, but according to multiple team sources, he is projected to miss two weeks."

Brutal for my fantasy team..

[FedEx227]

Yeah, that's going to really hurt for me too.
