January 30, 201016 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 07:38 AM) It's more than that. His jump shot right now is off the charts. He's shooting 51% from the field in January, and 55% over this last stretch of games. Jackpot. He's simply shooting the best he's ever shot in his life.
January 30, 201016 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) So the Bulls would have enough money to be able to land both Gay/Stoudemire and keep Hinrich? How is that possible? Trading Deng for Stoudemire, somehow dumping Salmons, and showing everyone one else how the Larry Bird Rule works. Also, Brad Miller, you are awesome. Deng, I don't like you, but you have been awesome tonight. We have one 5 straight road games against good Western teams. What. Edited January 30, 201016 yr by Quinarvy
January 30, 201016 yr Rose wasn't even his usual self and they pulled that one out (though CP3 being hurt down that OT stretch did help alittle thanks to David West ). Good overall team win.
January 30, 201016 yr ESPN just said something interesting. The Bulls are the first team (in NBA history) to win 5 straight games against 5 winning opponents.

It took a little bit of luck at the end, but those are the things that happen when you are hot.

That seems kind of out there They probably didn't play 5 straight road games against teams with winning records. There is a catch, but its still quite an accomplishment. Too bad the Bullies played like crap against the easier portion of this trip. It could have been epic. Edited January 30, 201016 yr by Dick Allen
January 30, 201016 yr I figure the teams of the past (I was wondering it to, the 72-10 Bulls and the 22 straight Rockets SHOULD have accomplished it, right?) always ended up having a below .500 team playing somewhere in the midst of it.
January 31, 201016 yr The Bulls should have a 7 game winning streak going into a tough game against the Hawks.
January 31, 201016 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 06:57 PM) The Bulls should have a 7 game winning streak going into a tough game against the Hawks. I'd definitely agree with this.
January 31, 201016 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 06:57 PM) The Bulls should have a 7 game winning streak going into a tough game against the Hawks. We should.. but then again this team usually plays bad against the sub-par to sucky teams so we'll see.
January 31, 201016 yr The fact that the Bulls are playing so well right now just frustrates me even more. Because ultimately this is still a .500 team. As they have been the last few years. I'd rather suck ass and have a shot at John Wall than make the playoffs as a 7/8 seed and get swept by the Cavs or Celtics. And I still don't believe any marque FA will come here.

And I still don't believe any marque FA will come here. What would we do with John Wall? Sign-and-trade him to Toronto? Put him at Shooting Guard? Even though Kirk is disliked, unless we're trading Rose, he's better for the team than Wall. He defends the tougher guard for Derrick and moves the ball. Wall would help if we trade Kirk somewhere for expiring contracts, Deng and Tyrus to Phoenix for Amar'e, and sign Gay. Then you can run a super SSOL offense, but my god that would be painful defense. The only way I'd like to see Wall is a sign and trade for Bosh. Edited January 31, 201016 yr by Quinarvy

I don't care about position.

I don't care about position. Just for perspective, Beasley was considered to be the better player and we needed a PF and had a good PG. It was the rarity of PG's like Rose that made them take Rose. We have a PG like that now, so it'd be foolish to take him unless you can trade him for a star.
January 31, 201016 yr Author The way Wall can score, you could have them both on the floor at the same time.

I think Rose was considered the better player but since we had a PG and needed a PF some people argued we should have drafted for need.
January 31, 201016 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 11:26 PM) The way Wall can score, you could have them both on the floor at the same time. Wall is really struggling in the half court offense in SEC play. His turnovers are still out of control. In no way could he play shooting guard with Rose at the point guard. Cousins would be the better fit for the Bulls actually.

I think Rose was considered the better player but since we had a PG and needed a PF some people argued we should have drafted for need. I heard the Oden/Durant argument. One would be better (Beasley and Durant) but the other could be a top player at premier position.

Nah, with Oden/Durant there was a real debate over it, I think Rose was actually more highly thought of than Beasley for the most part.
