God Gordon is just having a brutal game tonight, why is Rose not in?

lol, Obama's chatting with him now. must be giving him instructions.

Wizards have 7 OFF Rebs and shooting 47% thus far, and the Bulls are shooting 37% from the field... unacceptable against these scrubs.

Were down four, but can't get defense stops when we need em. Enough bulls***, this team is too talented to lose to the Wizards at home or on the road.

 

we need to channel a little Norm Van Lier and gut this baby out.

Because everyone knows the best way to teach rookies the game of basketball is to bench them.

Del Negro is a shockingly bad coach. IF Paxson somehow isn't gone after this year (which would be a crying shame), Del Negro better at least be.

If a team cannot get up for a game like this one (Red, NVL, and Obama in the stands), honestly something seems out of whack. Vinny Del Negro should not be the coach when next season starts.

I don't think it had anything to do with if they got up for the game or not. They're just not very good and got waxed. Although I will continue to watch the games and obviously support the team, I have long concluded that this season will be about the development of Rose and identifying which players currently on the roster are the best fit with Rose. Making the playoffs would mean nothing at this point.

Shaq went for 45 last night? WTF?

If they lost by a bucket to the Cavs, Celtics, or Lakers I'd agree with you. They lost by 23 to a team that was tied for the fewest wins in the league.

 

I can't write that off to not being good, this team isn't THAT bad. The first quarter the fell behind, settled for jump shots, didn't play help defense, and turned the ball over way too much. On a night like tonight, it just shouldn't happen - they embarrassed themselves.

It's tricky. There's no way of knowing what a team's mindset is going into any particular game. Did the Magic not get up for the Bulls the other night? Stuff happens. This Bulls team isn't good enough to take ANYONE for granted. So shame on them IF that's the case. We're definitely in agreement that the team embarrassed themselves. But they've done that about 15-20 other times this year. Shouldn't be surprising. Even to a team as bad as the Wizards.

You're right, it's impossible to tell what was going through their minds. Still, in my opinion, there is something wrong in my mind with either coaching, or the players when they couldn't put forth a more spirited effort (they looked absolutely disinterested in taking the ball to the basket in the first quarter) when the organization had just gone through such an emotionally devastating day.

 

Now, does losing two franchise icons necessarily equate to playing better? No. I wouldn't put that argument forward, but it just seems like most teams seem to get a boost from an event like this. Teams seem to "rally around" each other and try and win one for the Gipper. Its a subjective thing, but I just expected (and in my opinion rightfully so) that the team would have really wanted to play their best in memory of Red and NVL.

 

However, You sir are a formidable opponent!

Vinny Del Negro is one of the worst professional head coaches I have ever seen. As bad a GM as Paxson is and as far as this team has to go talentwise before it can be good, it's even more obvious than Vinny had never coached at any level for a reason.

See what happens when you don't sit Rose in the 4th, Vinny. Huge comeback.

 

Hope they pull it out now.

When someone figures this team out... please let me know.

Great comeback Chicago. But Artest? Are you kidding me? Pass the ball on that last possession. Terrible.

That was awesome. Yes.

Even last night's game frusterated me. It was an incredible comeback and an important win, but the Bulls play defense they should be ashamed by for the first 3 quarters, then the 4th comes along and all of a sudden they are all over the place and Houston can barely even get shots off. I wasn't a big Scott Skiles fan, but if this team tried as much on defense as Skiles' teams did, they might actually be somewhat good, certainly good enough to where they wouldn't be fighting their ass off just to try and get the 8th seed.

Unsung heros of the game: Gordon and Tyrus. Tyrus kept us from getting blown out by 40 in the 3rd. When Ben came in, that's when things started happening for us. Rose had a putrid game up until the 4th.

The Bulls f***ing suck. Down 16 in the 2nd to Charlotte?

ive given up on this season. Vinny del Negro should be on the hot seat, I wouldnt be surprised if he was fired after just 1 year.
