I was so sad when the bulls didn't resign Belinelli this year. I will see how much it will take to resign Nate and that will be the deciding factor since I have a prospect in Teague and a vet in Hinrich.

I hope we continue to get good bench production as well."

Bulls Squeak By Hornets

This game was constantly back and forth throughout, but in the last minute of the game, Derrick Rose scored 6 straight points and had a crucial steal to seal the fate of the Hornets. The Hornets out manned the Bulls in the post by scoring 78 points in the paint compared to the Bulls' 36 points. Luckily for the Bulls Kirk Hinrich was on fire from deep by going 6 of 6 from the 3 point line and an overall shooting of 9 of 10 from the field. A close victory, but nonetheless a victory that improves the Bulls to 3-0 on the season.

Tom Thibodeau:

Quote:

"Our team has plenty of heart and we are very well conditioned. So when it came to the end of the game and basically who can out hustle who, we came out on top. Our 3 point shooting is something that was able to keep us in the game the entire time as well."

"Kirk....That was an outstanding display from beyond the arc! Describe to us what you were feeling out there."

I think the Bulls should have no problem tonight and be on their way to facing the Thunder with a 4-0 record."

Currently Kirk is on fire from the 3 point arc and he plays good D too. I want Jimmy as my back up this year but start him next year. He still will b getting plenty of time and if there is an injury he is our go to replacement.
