Whatever, Deron Williams Is Still Fat

I didn't see the game last night because I was at work, but this tweet from BullBearSock made me laugh.

Haha, he's the best.

Also: what the hell has happened to the Bulls' defense? They're still No. 11 in John Hollinger's defensive efficiency ratings, but they've now given up 100 points or more in the last eight games. And the last two games are especially ugly: Dallas' 122-point effort on Saturday matched the most points the Bulls have allowed all year. Of course, Utah blew that mark out of the water yesterday, hanging 132 at the United Center.

We know Joakim Noah was so crucial to the rebounding - Hinrich led the Bulls with five boards yesterday - but is he equally important to the defense? Did trading Salmons and Tyrus really hurt the D that much? 

From By the Horns:

The Bulls really might as well have put a welcome mat in the paint. That's how easy a time the Jazz had in there. Utah got 21 layups and two dunks, including one in which Deron Williams posterized Derrick Rose. What's more, the Jazz dominated the glass (42-32). That total included a 14-6 edge in offensive rebounds. And did I mention Utah earned 39 free throw attempts? Oh, and they scored 24 points off 16 Chicago turnovers.

So, basically, the Jazz either hit the shot, earned a second chance, got fouled, or got the ball right back. There quite literally was no stopping them last night. And let me tell you, several of those free throw were the result of fouls right at the bucket. There was no keeping the Jazz away from the rim...and collapsing on them was just as bad, considering they went 12-for-20 from beyond the arc, including 6-for-7 by C.J. Miles and 2-for-2 from Wesley Matthews.

The absence of Joakim Noah is killing the Bulls.


The Bulls earn a capitalized UGH as of late. Yeah, that's what sitting in the ninth seed gets you.
