Just another bad move by Demps for letting Marco walk for nothing. Dude has been in beast mode lately and has become the leader of the Chicago Bulls in the playoffs this year. He was extremely clutch in both games 6 and 7.

I hated to see him go especially when you consider he was only asking for about $3.5-4 million.

Did you even watch games 6 and 7? How can you ignore how great he has been playing? He was the leading scorer in both games and pretty much single handily won game 7 for the Bulls last night.

You exaggerate. He's had some good games.

Present the data for all 7 games if you have it, especially that bit about best mode and leader.

I'm sure I will enjoy your lack of adequate response.

Good for him. You have to be fricking stupid to not see that Noah is the clear cut leader of the team. And yes, Belli is having a good series. Coming off of a regular season PER of 10.4. To put that in perspective, his season was marginally more efficient than Lance Thomas's. He got hot at the right time with Chicago, as opposed to his time with the Hornets when he only went on hot streaks when we were in the AD sweepstakes.

He was playing hurt earlier in the series and didn't play many minutes. Look at when he came back to full form in games 6 and 7 when the Bulls needed him the most. Go ahead and look it up.

If he only produced like that in our last game 6 playoff appearance.

He may have lead scorers in game 6, on but he was 8-21 shots from the field. Yet Im sure you would critize Gordon if he put up similar numbers.

Noah couldn't lead a horse to water.

We are talking about the playoffs and since Beli came back to full form he has been the best player on their team. He has been extremely clutch.

So? Look at the rest of the team in game 6. Belinelli basically had to do everything on his own. It's cute though how you ignore game 7 and focus on him shooting about 40% in game 6.

Since we're talking about the bulls, does it drive anyone else crazy how they pronounce Thibodeaux's name?

And Boozer is one ugly dude.

Sorry, y'all can resume debating.

He shot .395% in the regular season. That's terrible for a SG.

Lol what?? You realize Noah had 24pts, 14 Rebs, and 6 blocks last night? Game 6 he had 14pts 15 rebs and 5 blocks. And battled as good as anybody has all year with Lopez. He is by far the emotional leader on that team and def "led the horse to water".

But, I agree that Belli has been playing great for the bulls. And he was a good pickup by them. Without Rosé, only Nate can create his own shot and score from the guard spot. Boozer and Noah are good downlow post players that can score, but without D Rose and Nate they have no guards that can shot and score and create their own shot. Them signing Belli gives them a guy that can do that. Is he great at it? No. But he's good enough to help them score some points and win ball games. It was a good situational move by the Bulls and a great opportunity for Belli to be a key factor in the bulls team this year.

That said, Belli was horrible for us last year but that doesn't mean he's bad. He's an average scorer that was on one of the worst teams in the NBA last year. And he's still a horrible defender. He was tied with Noah for high scorer last night with 24 pts, but when Belli was in the game the Bulls were -5 in points differential. When Heinrich was healthy, he was getting all the minutes Belli was getting because of his D. He was all up in DWills crap the first few games. Throughout the series before Heinrich got hurt, the bulls were +12 with him on the court in 4 games, compared to -17 for Belli the entire series.

Yes he has come up big for the bulls in the weakest part of their game without Rosé, and that is scoring. But without Noah, they either don't make the playoffs or they lose 1st round.

Bulls players ranked by most important to least:
Noah
Deng
Boozer
Nate
Heinrich
Butler
Marco

I'm willing to say that if Rose, Hinrich, and Deng aren't injured, Bellinelli barely sees the court. No way they want him to "lead the team."

And you are blind if you don't think Noah is the leader
