this team needs a decent PG, Speedy Claxon, and even Ben Wallace are better than Kirk.

We need someone who could keep the pace of this team, stop shooting of balance and share the ball.

Great game for Loul, Chapu woke up in stupid mode, anyhow made 20, BG dis not awake this morning.

The Philadelphia game was really a 'bad win' in that, yes it was a nice comeback but Philly just collapsed.

Although, Bill Walton reported that the Bulls 'led throughout'. He also said Skiles was coaching to be fired and since the firing has been admonishing the Bulls players. Perhaps he needs a researach assistant to keep track of what happens in the league, and what Bill says.

Anyway, good coaching job by Boylan. When Red Kerr has obvious ideas for you, you are in trouble.

I watched 7even instead of the game. Not sure which was more sinful though.

Abysmal performance against a mediocre at best Hawks team. It resembled something of a high school game between a tough inner city team and an undersized soft small country school. Atlanta particularly in the early stages of the game were swarming the bulls and getting out on the break finishing with dunks, it got embarrassing. The bulls got out rebounded and generally out played by the bigger and more athletic side, the Hawks racked up 12 blocked shots! That's double our 6.

Good:

-Luol played a solid game despite coming straight off absence due to injury.

-Thabo's second half defense on Johnson was encouraging.

Bad:

-Our defensive performance was biggest worry, 67 points in a half? Thats unacceptable. Johnson torched us in the 1st with 19 points, thankfully he cooled down in the second. To many easy baskets, dunks and open shots.

-No Gray. He could have been used through out the countless stretches of awful basketball.

Unlike the 'Good' list, the 'Bad' list could be endless. It's just not worth it. The bottom line is that is was flat out awful.

[23-7]

I HATE BIG BEN. He is my least favorite player on yhe team.

[Polynice4Pippen]

Yeah, but that Ben Wallace facial was crazy. And the camera caught Noc asking the ref, "What the f*** is THAT?" after Marvin Williams threw him into the 3rd row and wasn't called for a foul. So all hope isn't lost quite yet. Still a bit of good TV here and there.

EDIT double post

[fudgie]

Good:

Luol Deng

OK:

Smith
Noc

Bad:
everyone else

[NoSkyy]

I'm beginning to think Chris Duhon is a waste of minutes and Ben Gordon just doesn't want a new contract.

[antemiogordon]

Sam Cassell and Speedy Claxon are better to run a team, at least rather than our boy, for the record good assist from Ben Wallace running PG.

If you're still posting you haven't given up on this team. I haven't either. Celtics lost to the wizards. Sometimes upsets just happen. I had hope for this team until we lost to New York a few days ago. But I'm over it. The win against the sixers might not have been pretty but it's a win. I actually think we have a chance to get a good streak going.

C'MON BULLS... BRING IT!

Another loss for the bulls, another loss for optimism. I'll see you all next year.

I wonder what happen to this team they use to be more energized and had more heart than any other teams. Now there just dead they also get discouraged really quick. And that's a bad sign. I guess they don't have that hunger any more. Now I see why Skiles gave up on this team it has no talent. I bet those meetings between Pax and Skiles, Skiles telling Pax the players you picked aren't talented enough. And he was right.

Luol Deng : He came in and played really well. Too bad the team let him down.

Andres Nocioni: Even though he played well and so on. He has been playing outta control. He fouls way to much.

Kirk Hinrich: What a captain he is. Who told him he was the 1st option on the team. He throws up shots like he's a big time scorer. He needs to score in the system.

Chris Duhon: Again scored no points. He is very useless especially in the starting lineup. He too much of a safe player.

Ben Gordon: The self proclaimed best player on the team. I think needs take a look in the mirror he is nothing close to being a best player on a team. 6 pts tonight on poor shooting. He needs to face it he is a super role player. He looked lazy today no movement at all he just ran and stand in the corner his teammates never pass to when he clobbered over in the corner. Also had bad shot selections.

Thabo Sefolosha: I thought thabo played really well and had good defense. He still needs to learn how to shoot better.

Ben Wallace: Pax needs to trade him asap. He's old and super lazy. He has absolutely no offense skills and were already a weak offense team.

Joe Smith: He is a great offensive player but his defense is very questionable.

Tyrus Thomas: He has no skills what so ever. We need a trade for him.

[DuckIII]

Luol Deng is good.

[Mr. Tibbs]

now i really want to know what was said at that players only meeting yesterday.

Ben Wallace: mmk i just decided, i don't like Boylan either.

Tyrus Thomas: So we gotta suck til he's fired too?

Ben Wallace: Well not so much you. You sit on the bench and watch Big Ben suck.
