I really don't see the Bulls improving significantly (as in more than 40 wins) until they find a legit big man, someone that can get at least 12-8 while shooting at least 48% from the floor and be at least decent on defense (before someone says it, that's not Gooden). That's easier said then done though...

Rosenbloom calls him Vinny Del Needstogo and he's right. That was a horrible hire, not that anyone could get this current roster to win consistently, but the defensive effort, a sign of good coaching, is not just lacking, its not there. There are a ton of dogs on this team.

I wish I could boycott the Bulls, I really do. I just like watching a trainwreck too much. I will say that they have become the 2nd option to whatever else is on TV nightly.

A boycott to me is extreme. I did boycott the team until Krause retired for a period which left me barely acknowledging Chicago had a basketball franchise for about 3 or 4 years. That hurt to do, but I had nothing to work with.

My problem is that I don't see that the organization cares enough. They are selling out, so what does it matter? Reinsdorf refused to enter the luxury tax to add Gasol last year (for peanuts, by the way), and since then I can't bring myself to care when I know the people in charge don't.

Bulls are dead to me.

 

Each year I give them a chance, each year they perish.

rose has absolutely taken over this game....great second half for him offensively....i hope they hang on to this thing

wow hinrich commits an awful turnover and then gets bailed out by....joakim noah of all people..haha

Bulls win 102-98. Rose was a maniac in the second half

That kid is the only reason I still watch Bulls games. And Tyrus to some extent... if he's allowed to play.

Tyrus was allowed to play a few days ago when he had like 4 pts and 2 boards in over 20 mins.

 

Rose only had 25 pts and 10 assists tonight.

When Tyrus is "on" he is exciting to watch. But you have to put up with the facepalm games too.

Nice to see a W from the Bulls. I love Derrick Rose & I don't care who knows about it.

 

CP3 went for 33 pts-10 boards-11 dimes tonight.

Yeah, but he only had 7 steals.

Why don't more people want pax fired?

I think a lot of people do, this roster is one giant clusterf***.

Kobe looked PISSED when he walked out at the end there.

Add me to the list. Fire Pax.

I would be too. Mason's foul call was questionable, traveling call on Ariza was very questionable.

People do want him fired. I cut him some slack last year because he had a chance to undo his mistakes, but he did NOTHING this year besides draft Rose with the gift of the #1 pick. He didn't even try, with all his misguided faith in our overrated low-ceiling players. The signing of Del Negro also appears to be a total bust.

After seeing the disaster that VDN has become...after seeing this team add a guy like Rose and actually be worse than last year...I'm a trading deadline away from joining that bandwagon. The next month is his last shot. Either we need 2009/2010 cap space, or we need to acquire someone decent, or at least clear away some of the Chaff.

 

For God's sake, we actually ran a lineup in the 4th quarter last night of: Deng, Nocioni, Gordon, Hinrich, Rose. I think Ben Gordon is your Small Forward in that lineup. Whether or not we won the game...that's just awful.

True the Bulls have 2 good players right now. Hinrich is useful, but overpayed. Really, the only way the Bulls win these days is if Gordon or Rose (preferably both) go off that night. And I'm not saying 18 pts, but more like 25pts or at least combine for around 45ppg. If they don't, it'll probably be a blow out.

 

Everybody else is literally useless. Nocioni runs around with his head cut off. Deng got paid and doesn't seem to care. And don't get me started on our frontcourt who allow guys like Varejao go off.

Deng doesn't even seem like half the player he used to be.

Bulls fans. How much does Lebron go for tonight? I say 40.
