    Re: The Chicago Bulls: Return To The Top

    Man are the Bulls playing a lot better at the start or what. They look like their eyes are open and they're aware of the matchups and stuff. Of course it's still the beginning. It's a great thing that Kenyon isn't playing cause it might be a little different. I sure wonder what they'll be looking like when they get their trade done. Let's see what it's looking like.

      this is ridiculous, bulls were up by 20 pts in the 3rd, and now only 1 with one minute left. I have a hard time wanting to watch, I just want to do my homework, but seeing the bulls play so poorly hurts.

        You hear how them kats on WGN were so hyped about the win? It feels so good to be on the W tonight. I thought it was lost. I'm surprised they didn't call a foul on Luol though. Definitely will take it.

            Wow, Ben has filled it up the past three games and Hinrich did a great job at the point last night. It shouldn't have been that close, but I'll take the win.

              Ben has been filling it up but Chandler has also stepped up in the rebounding department. 13.5 reb per game in his last 9 games. Now the question is why can't Chandler and Sweetney be on the floor at the same time? Since Chandler's game has stepped up Sweet's minutes have gone down. And why? If you don't get the minutes you can't put up the numbers. Ask Chandler. Since he's been doing good he's been getting 30+ minutes. Well, most of Chandler's problem for not getting minutes was his being foul prone. But that's not the case for Sweet's. Skiles...Please play Sweet's and Chandler at the same time!

                yeah what happened to sweetney? He was playing good, and could actually score a little in the post, and as little as it was, it did help the bulls somewhat, better than nothing!

                  Gordon has been killin' lately, plus 23-39 from deep in his last three games.

                    I think he's slightly injured with a bad hammy or something similar like that. So Skiles is hesitant to play him to risk further injury.


                    **edit**

                    I just checked nba.com, no reports of him being injured. I guess Skiles is having one of his "bright" moments again. I really hate it when he starts experimenting with the lineups. Instead of actually utilizing your best players (Deng, Gordon, Hinrich)

                      Skiles was a freaking genius last year. Now, he seems to misplace his whistle every other game. Doesn't make sense that he doesn't utilize the team as much as he could. I mean, Pargo comes in for probably 5 minutes it seems. He barely goes deep down the bench like he did last year. That's what got us to the playoffs. We went down that bench. We have to so desperately use more of our team. There were a lot of rumors of trades and crap like that. Don't need that this season. I'm scared that there might be one though. Just need to miss the playoffs and figure out what we could use. They were even talking about freaking drafting Riddick and trading Hinrich. WHAT A LOAD OF CROCK!! I hope these ******s don't make dumb moves. We'll see if they have heart tonight.


                      EDIT*On another note, why did we let Adrian leave? Doesn't make any honest to goodness sense. I thought he was a good player that fit right into the mold.

                          We didnt let him leave, he was a FA and we had no roster spots available at the time to sign him. So he signed with, I wanna say Dallas. Not sure though. Anyways, he was a good fit, but he was a poor mans trenton hassell. He played great D, but everything else was less than mediocre.

                          As for going deep into our bench... Well lets put it this way, we have no bench. Last year, for some reason everythign clicked. But this year after adding Songalia and Allen, it all fell apart. Pargo should not be playing any minutes. All this big scrubs that their signing doesnt help the team neither. James Thomas??? Cmon, this team will need more than that to improve. I'm kinda in between on whether or not they should make a move before the deadline.

                          One reason flor that is the way the Knicks are playing. That pick that they gave us only gets better as the season grows older and the Knicks get even more worst. The #1 draft pick and a good lottery pick, along with a few players for KG sounds nice. (Yes I'm still not giving up the Bulls getting KG. It will happen one day!!)

                            Re: The Chicago Bulls: Return To The Top

                            i got a question: Why are most Bulls fans so quick to trade Ben Gordon?

                            I was listening to the WSCR-The Score last night on the radio and they were talking about some of the possible players to trade for before the deadline. And to my shock most of the callers wanted to trade Ben Gordon. And not because he sucks BUT a lot of people said he has good trade value. HUH? Jordan had good trade value...Pippen had good trade value...Elton Brand had good trade value. Do you know they would have burned this city down if the Bulls traded Pippen or Jordan during the championship years? And Brand...well most Bulls fans know the result of that trade...not even close.

                            Gordon is going to be a star. But he needs a big guard to play with. In my humble opinion I would trade Hinrich before I trade Gordon. Gordan can play the point if he had a superstar big guard like Pierce playing next to him.

                            Here is a breakdown of the trade possibilties of the Bulls player:
                            Untradeable Players:
                            None

                            Can be traded with an offer you can't refuse:
                            - Ben Gordon : Unless it's a prime time player like Duncan, Wade or Kobe...forget it. I wouldn't even trade Gordon for Paul Pierce, even though I want Pierce here.

                            - Luol Deng : I swear I've seen this type of player before on the Bulls. A young forward who is steadily improving defensively...erratic on offense BUT improving. Remind you of 1999-2000 Ron Artest?

                            - Kirk Hinrich : He should be traded before Gordon. Nothing against Hinrich he's a great player but Gordon has more upside.

                            - Tyson Chandler : The only reason I put him in this category because you'll loose a lot of height, rebounding and shot blocking if you trade him.

                            Guys who need to be traded because they play the same role of another player:
                            - Othella Harrington : A guy who can score but won't give you a defensive presence and average rebounding. We have Michael Sweetney who is a better scorer and rebounder than Harrington.

                            - Michael Sweetney : See Othello Harrington. Obviously, if we trade Sweet's you gotta keep Harrington. Which would be a bad thing considering Sweet's is much younger than Harrington.

                            - Chris Duhon : Too many PG on the team. One of the best backup PG in the league but backup PG come a dime a dozen.

                            - Andres Nocioni : Love his intensity BUT he take minutes away from Deng. Which I'd keep before Nocioni.

                            - Darius Songaila : A big man who can shoot is valuable. He'd help a contending team coming off the bench. We are not a contending team.

                            - The Knicks First Round draft pick : No one in the draft is going to immediatley going to help the Bulls unless it's Rudy Gay or Adam Morrison. Which I believe will be gone before that Knicks pick.

                            Guys you trade for a bag of balls:
                            The rest of the squad.
                            I have more respect for a man who let's me know where he stands, even if he's wrong. Than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil. - Malcolm X

                              Honestly, Adrian Griffin wanted "too much" money so they said no stuff and let him go back home. I'm definitely liking that joint. Trade a gutter kat who grinds day in and day out because you think you'd be paying him too much money. The reason the Bulls were so nice was because we had a bench who came in and gave us strong presence. We didn't have a drop off from the starting 5 cause everyone was basically feeling it.

                              Personally, I'd keep Ben Gordon til the end of the year. Won't be any reason to be in the playoffs this year cause we'd only get the 8th spot if anything and that ain't going to help us one bit. We'd get smashed quick with that one. I'd rather rebuild and come back stronger next year. Personally, I'd just wait til we could get someone solid out of college. And beleive me, backup guards aren't hard to find, but quality ones come once in a blue moon. Duhon is solid enough that you can get a good night out of him defensively everytime he steps on that court. He ain't tradeable cause we'd get something just the same back.

                                Big win by the Bulls against the Clippers. Hinrich really stepped up in the clutch. Maybe I might consider keeping him. He just blew by the Clipper guards in the 4th quarter.
