New Poster Introduction

I guess I should have introduced myself before I started going crazy with the posting.

I've enjoyed reading the board for many years now and finally decided to take the plunge. I hate to date myself but I've been a Bulls fan since the Van Lier, Sloan, Bob Love, Chet Walker and Boerwinkle days. Grew up in the Chitown burbs and am now living in the Seattle area.

Not going to find many Bulls fans in Seattle so it's great to join you to share our passion for DaBulls.

As long as you are not a big man I am all for the experienced veterans.

Good one! I have never seen the board so polarized as it has been lately because of this very issue. The Tyrus draft has really divided us. I myself may need therapy to get over not drafting Roy

. Hopefully Tyrus works out and I still hope the coaching change will bring Thabo back from the dead.

Welcome! Guess I'm too an "old fart".

Grew up on the mean streets of Barrington. (Not Barrington Hills.)

First time I saw the Bulls in person was at the old stadium. 2nd balcony along the baseline. Was maybe 12 or 13? All I remember was an old Nate Thurmond on the team, and after a missed free throw Norm Van Lier sneaking up behind the lug who grapped the rebound, taking it away and laying it in.

I too thought Roy mad alot of sense. He was the perfect guard to fit in with Hinrich and BG. I thought Pax reached for need. Should have went for BPA. Especially with all that cap room to sign bigs.

I would like to see Thabo start. Cannot do worse than Du and might gain the confidence needed to actually develop. Will never happen. Boylan is coaching for a job.

TB in TB#1 stands for Tom Boerwinkle.

Welcome, fellow fashion victim.

I am with you on all those thoughts, except I think the board (at least my board at the time and it seems from context this board too) was more divided on issues involving the moving of Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler.

In any event, welcome aboard, old farts. Point your butts to the stern and full steam ahead.
