The good:

Anyone who played in the last 10 minutes of the game.

The bad:

Anyone who didn't.

Man that dunk attempt was hilarious

This game was over when Boylan wrote the starting lineup. If Deng was truly a star who could step up and untouchable maybe you could get away with this crap offense.

Duhon 4.5 PPG
Thabo 2.6 PPG
Deng 18. 3 PPG
Smith 10.3 PPG
Wallace 4.5 PPG

But honestly, I can hardly put it on Deng. I doubt Kobe could save that team. As long as this team is stupid to the point of probably starting Andre Barrett ahead of Ben Gordon, we are going to struggle to compete. I don

So, I am thinking about hosting a little get-together to celebrate the Bulls' season up to this point. Maybe a little Heaven's Gate sort of theme?

I've already got the vodka, apple sauce, purple cloths, "Chicago Bulls away team" armbands, and a bucketful of quarters.

That just leaves the phenobarbital and black jumpsuits. I'm hoping that a fellow RealGM'er, perhaps one working in retail, can maybe get us some sort of deal on the apparel?

I assume everyone already owns a pair of Nikes (or comparable sneaker), yeah?

Sincerely,

(sorry for the absurd post, but given the season to this point, absurdity seems somewhat appropriate.)

Boylan, this was your tenth game.

You...fail. Sorry.

who's next? starting lineup: who cares..... when: whoooo cares

See how our vets are rubbing off on the young guys? Viktor's missed dunk couldn't have happened had he not been astutely watching all of our far more experienced non dunkers like Joe and Wallace blow wide open flushes all season long. That Viktor is one hell of a student.

Oh my gosh. Start crap vets, and then when they get destroyed put in Krap and

How many teams deliberately play the inferior players on their roster at the expense of the better players?

I'm guessing the answer is "one."

The Good:

Noah and Thabo.

Good night fellas, I'm off to get pissed. And by that I mean I'm off to get relatively drunk.

You're not a legitimate NBA team when your starting rotation is:

Duhon
Thabo
Smith
Deng
Wallace

Even with injuries, its awful. That lineup averages a total of 41 ppg, of which Smith and Deng are 29 of them. So you take one of them away on defense and your pretty much guaranteeing yourself a win.

I'm truly beginning to hate Ben Wallace and the entire Bulls coaching staff. Its honestly hard for me to watch Ben Wallace even play. Seeing him laughing on the sideline with Joe Smith as we get clobbered drove me nuts.

Grif. Bulls management is hurting.

Random thoughts:

Gordon really shot anyone clamoring for him to play point guard tonight. He handled the ball horribly and just gave the ball away several times.

Wallace actually sucks at defense and rebounding right now. Several plays:
- Turkoglu taking that offensive board right away from Wallace. The Orlando announcers were even surprised.
- The Rashard Lewis drive where he went under the hoop. You can clearly see Wallace make eye contact with the cutter well before Lewis got anywhere near the hoop. Wallace *chose* to stand flatfooted to allow the layup.
- Howard's move under Wallace where he just stood totally flat footed.
Is Ben Wallace the worst player in the NBA?

Noah, Tyrus, etc. may not know the plays, but at least they give a ****. Their impact is most noticeable on the boards where they are much better at getting balls in traffic.

Very nice game from Thabo. If Boylan has done anything, its saving Thabo's career.

Next up..

Starting 5

Duhon
Khryapa
Sefolosha
Smith
Wallace

That way we have firepower on the bench.

I think none of us should watch the next Bulls game. Let's make a game thread of one of the MJ games on youtube, and watch it together. Who is in?

Thabo played 30 minutes with 1 TO. Maybe give him some ballhandling duties and start him with Gordon and see how that works? Let's not kid ourselves that the Bulls have a system that requires an exacting creative PG, getting shots for people.

Lets hope so.

Start Gray, Noah, Thomas, Thabo, and Gordon. If things aren't going well, think of the great bench we will have!

What are we drinking tonight?

Noah and or Gray is so much better than Wallace its not even funny.

I agree with North. Wallace is ths root of everything that has happened bad with the Bulls.

We are stuck in a trap with Wallace. Wallace is much like Stephan Marbury. He is so bad and he makes a ton and is basically untradeable.

Id rather mgmt just suck it up and just admit Wallace was a terrible signing. Bench him and just go with Noah and Gray.

I guarantee those guys will be twice the player Wallace is and you will notice it right away.

GREAT idea. Start her up.

Let's do the Bulls-Lakers game 95/96 season where we staged a massive comeback way late in the game when Kukoc became Jordan.
