They can rotate so many diff. player combos that when they are completely healthy could devastate any NBA playoff team. I'm amazed and jealous.

Kevin Love makes surprise season debut!

Edit: Yuppers

And he is single handedly destroying the Nuggets. Wolves just got 5 times better in 1 night.

Why all the tech's?

Worst half of the year from the Wolves, just awful.

**jukeness** · November 25, 2012, 06:06 PM

The Wolves really should make a move to help the backcourt because it is by far the worst in the league. Ridnour is just awful, he helps the team in no ways, Barea hasnt made any shots or got to the basket, and I cant blame Malcolm Lee, because we already knew he wouldnt do much. Last night the backcourt was outscored 2-44, it's been like that every night. Make a trade for ANYONE please, because I cant stand watching us shoot 15% on threes and watch them suck all night.

Watching this Bulls team I'm reminded of that South Park episode where Chef tries to explain to the kids why they're a sucky dance group.

"You have the heart, but you don't have the soul."

"No, scratch that. You have the soul, but you don't have the heart."

"No scratch that. You have the heart and the soul, but you don't have the TALENT."

He cannot take his starters out of the game. They wont be able to walk by January.

Can someone please explain to me how the Bulls threw that away last night? Stayed up to watch it and I've never been more annoyed.

**King Nud** · November 28, 2012, 07:25 AM

I stayed up too, one of the worst Bulls games I remember in a long, long time.

Starters got us a big 27-point lead, then the bench came in for a bit and pissed some of it away then the starters came back. By that point the Bucks were rolling and the Bulls defense was as bad as it's been all season. During the Bucks run, they scored on 14 out of 16 trips down the court. 42-14 run from the 3:26 mark in the 3rd quarter.

When we finally woke up and hit a couple shots, the Bucks hit back. We couldn't get a rebound from a missed free-throw and then lost the ball out-of-bounds on the second set of rebounds.

And finally, the best play we could get with 7.5 seconds left was a heavily-contested off-balance shot.

The trouble here? Coach doesn't trust his bench. Not in the slightest. Last season's bench would never have given up that lead.

And today the bench is magically playing awesome, go figure. I think everyone got the message.

Jimmy Butler is so fun to watch, at least for me. He's gonna be a player in this league. He needs more minutes. I saw a rotation with Lu and Jimmy in it for the first time today.

**King Nud** · November 28, 2012, 08:40 PM

Fearless. Goes for every rebound, plays fantastic defense and offense is improving. Like a mini-Deng.

**RZZZA** · November 28, 2012, 09:31 PM

What an impact tonight from Jimmy in only 15 minutes played. He has a future in this league as one hell of a bench player, any coach would love to have a kid like him.

edt: oh my fault he played 27 minutes. Still quite an impact though
