Game Thread: Spurs @ Bulls -- Mon. (11/30) - 7:00PM (3:00AM Riga Time)

typical grind it out game against the Bulls... we gotta make some 3s too, tbh... we're 1-5, and we're not opening up the paint unless we do

[TheGreatYacht]

How about now?

40% shooting

[ElNono]

Unfortunately, guys like Patty play a lot better at home than on the road... I wonder if Pop is going to give Simms some minutes in the 2nd half...

[spursistan]

Kept opponent under 50 in half for how many games now..but that bench D has killed us.. guys in 2nd unit are a major liability when they are not scoring the ball..

[HarlemHeat37]

Starters played well, bench put the Spurs in a hole..McDermott going on a tear vs. the bench is the difference, so far..he was 0-3 from the field after the starters re-entered..

Bulls aren't going to win if they have a Rose-centric offense tonight..

[TheGreatYacht]

Meanwhile Jimmy G Buckets catching kiwi sleeping and gets an easy lob... Reminds me of Barnes

[TDfan2007]

This has been a strange game. Hard to get a pulse on our guys tonight. We need Timmy and Manu to play much better in the second half...

Yes, offensively is playing good so far.

Yeah, we hit some 3s in the 2nd half, and we should win.

what worried me a bit is parker seemed to try to go at rose a couple of times when rose started making some shots. hope he doesn't get a big head and try to outdo him... getting suckered into a waving contest instead of continuing to find guys

[HarlemHeat37]

Bulls are around .500 vs. the Spurs in the Rose era, which is probably one of the better records against the Spurs in that span..they play well in the matchup, for whatever reason..

[Silver&Black]

Big Banger
8 points on 4/5 shooting

Parker in hero-mode is still a much more intelligent player than Rose, tbh..Rose will shoot 20+ times without a conscience..

[ElNono]

what happened with the Rockets is unbelievable... wonder if Dwight mailed it in already

Bruh, put that steak back, cuz its raw.

yah, noticed that... was thinking "don't turn this into a duel"

[Mugen]

against gangbanger is one of the few times I'll take Porky in a 1v1 duel tbh....

Rose playing like he has two working legs whenever they meet up and the Bulls' style of defense imo.

Rose anally raping Porky tonight... Spurs defense looks awful

[Mugen]

Watching Dwight v Drummond in the post right now....shieeeeet.

You know it's bad when Aron Baynes is probably the most skilled big man on both teams tbh

[Silver&Black]

Thanks for officially jinxing Rose...and the Spurs defense will now drastically improve in the 2nd half.

You da reel MVP

[Horry Hipcheck]

Rose 4-10, 8 points, 6 assists
Parker 4-7, 9 points, 7 assists

Post-injury Rose? Sure. I'll take just about any point guard in the league over him. Pre-injury Rose used to destroy Parker though. One of the reasons why the Bulls have a decent head-to-head record vs SA in recent years.

[SAGirl]

If not for the bench scrubbing it up and McDermott channeling his inner Great White Hope this is a double digit lead.

Defense is pretty mediocre so far, you can live with some trick plays and Rose making jumpers but you can't let McDermott bust his nut.

McDermott has been going off pretty consistently. His percentages are off the chart. This is not a fluke. would not be surprised if it has to do with the solid (or rather illegal screens) from Noah.
