...will need a major surgery to his left shoulder to stabilize it, after an injury against Dallas last night.

This should mean a solid block of additional minutes of game will be freed up among the Bulls frontcourt, leaving Bobby as one of many beneficiaries of the 22 minutes a game they'll be looking to replace.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

Hate to see that for Noah. He fought hard to get back into shape for this season.

Too bad for Noah.
He's a great, what I call, utility player.
The guy who's not the star, doesn't regularly score 20+ but could.  Instead gives full out effort, plays smart, gritty defense, rebounds.  For me, Doug Christie was this type player only as a forward.

Hopefully, this will be BP's first big opportunity.

So everyone one of the nationalized incidents were justified? There is no race problems with policing? If that is what you believe.....well bless your heart, it must be hard going through life with the obstacles you must have to overcome. Do they send a bus to come pick you up?

Depending on what he wants salary wise, Noah may have played his last game as a Bull.

" Great news"? Really? Schadenfreude much? The proper title for the post by any reasonable person would have been, "Joachim Noah Out 4-6 Months".  There's nothing "great" about it. Another "classy" Hogville post.

the next time you catch me feeling sorry for a guy who can sit on his butt for the rest of the season knocking down percocet and beer and draw 12 million dollars, well that will be the first time

I don't like snarky people!

In most cases I'm not a pc type person.

I don't know what BP thinks but what I do know is that he isn't going to gracefull hand the ball back to Noah, if or when Noah returns, and say here Noah you can have your minutes back.

I'm absolutely sure the OP didn't mean anything disrespectful towards Noah but for any young, budding star a chance to get more playing time is "great news"  reason notwithstanding.

Snell has been starting at SF, with Mirotic being the backup at PF.

I was trying to tell people on here that BP doesn't get Noahs minutes. He gets Mirotics minutes. But most of the posters on here are too dense to realize that and comment based on looking at espn box scores

Its a question of cascades and lineups.   There are a pool of four or five guys (Snell, Mirotic, Portis, McDermot, Gasol) that will have to pick up the slack, contingent on how Chicago plays. Of late, they've played more Snell-Mirotic-Gasol lineups, to cover those minutes.

If they try to play bigger again, and play Mirotic at the 3 more, then the 4 minutes are going to come open, potentially, for Portis.

Read where BP was now in teams scouting report and they had a "book" on him. He needs to have some quality minutes in order to keep getting in games. Been a little quiet lately.

Golden St plays at Chicago tonight - televised on ESPN at 7:00.
Will watch and hope to see Portis get some PT.

Definitely agree, it was a really poorly worded thread title.

Lots of positive comments about Portis, and he played pretty well for the parts I got to watch.  He got lost a few times on defense, but I like that he's confident and shoots when he's open most of the time.  He definitely brings some energy when he's on the court, and you can tell the fans like him.   
I've never wanted a Hog coach to be successful more than I do for Pittman.  He's one of the good guys.

I thought Portis looked really good last night - needs to work on his defense for sure.
The announcers had nothing but praise.
Don't recall ever seeing Gasol play as bad as he did last night - Bulls never had a chance with Gasol going 0-8 and Snell shooting 1-12. That was brutal.

It was a festival of bricks for sure.  If ANYONE could have hit from the outside and taken some pressure off Rose, that could have been a competitive game. 

Portis's outside shot has improved considerably.  He still needs to work on his ball handling, and defense, but those should come with some focused work on it.  I think he may end up being a better player than I thought he would in the NBA when it's all said and done.  He hit one jumper from just inside the 3 line at the top of the key that was nails!
