Yeah, the Chinese season just ended. John Lucas can make threes and isn't terrible. I think they've figured out how to play with Augustin, and this can relegate Dinwiddie back to the D-league, where he really needs to be, because he's awful.

I'm pretty sure this means teams are now free to sign Andray Blatche too, kinda interested to see where he ends up. The only Chinese League guy I know for sure is in the playoffs is Will Bynum.

Just saw this:

http://www.blogabull.com/2015/1/31/7956711/signing-pau-gasol-was-a-mistake

quote:

The Bulls All-Star is one in name only and the Bulls would have been better if they'd not signed him —— Pau Gasol was selected as an All Star starter by the fans. This is, honestly, a joke. Pau Gasol is the Bulls fourth best big man. Yes, fourth best. Behind Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, and even rookie Nikola Mirotic. The idea that Gasol was somehow one of the best big men in the entire Eastern Conference is ridiculous.

I like this detail:

quote:

There's also the issue of communication on defense. Say what you will about Boozer's defense, and it was often very bad, but you always heard him out there. When was the last time you heard Pau call out anything defensively? That stuff matters, and I don't think it's a coincidence that so many of the incumbent Bulls have cited a lack of communication as a primary reason for their defensive struggles. All of this is to say that a good percentage of the Bulls drop off defensively this season can be placed on Pau's shoulders.

He's right: you can certainly hear Boozer out there! All the time. Even when there's a timeout.

haha this guy's loving unreal.

He actually addresses in the article that he's hated the Pau signing since before he played a minute for the team, but never deals with how this might result in a biased perception of his performance.

well he put this at the end which makes it all ok

None of this is to pat myself on the back for being so prescient.

(Writing this made me sad, because I do, genuinely, love Pau the person. He's just doing significant harm to my favorite basketball team is all.)
LOOK HE LOVES THE GUY BUT IT JUST HAD TO BE SAID

Yeah, that makes it even funnier. He hated the signing when it happened, and now he's furious that Pau has actually played like an All - Star. No, I mean, hold on, he's obviously been utter trash!

I wonder if that guy will also do an effort post about Derrick Rose ruining the entire Bulls offense by trying way to hard to be Steph Curry. Probably not.

edit: Rose is taking 5.6 3-pointers per game, hitting them at a clip of .299. That's worse than I thought.
