That's hilarious and I'm in.

Tomorrow will be the season breaker.

If we get blown out by a Heat team that has lost 10 straight and worst record in the East, you may see Paxson grace the sidelines.

At this point Gordon and Deng need to demand trades to new teams so they can still have chance for big contracts. Cause right now both of them are not earning the big money they were hoping for. This team has turned from good to bad just in one off season. Pax needs to trade his good players(Deng,Gordon,Kirk) for young talent and draft picks tank this season and rebuild. This team have no more passion they don't play as a team anymore, it's over.

Well, no one can blame Hinrich for tonight's disaster...

Bench Wallace and Duhon. Please!!!! They should sit Wallace's butt down for the next few games and not even THINK of playing him. Duhon should lose most of his minutes to Thabo and should play only if one of Hinrich/Gordon/Sefolosha is hurt or if they get in major foul trouble.

Play Tyrus, Noah and Thabo 20+ MPG every game the rest of the season. Gray should also getting PT, although his may have to be more on a game-to-game basis, since his offensive skills are more or less balanced by his defensive shortcomings. If he can get 10-15 MPG, cool.

Either go back to the Hinrich/Gordon backcourt, or -- if the coaches/management are determined to leave BG as the 6th man -- then go to a Hinrich/Sefolosha backcourt, with Gordon still getting 30+ MPG. Either way can't HELP but be better than Duhon/Sefolosha or Duhon/Hinrich (or, for that matter, Duhon, Gordon)

Pair Deng & Smith in the starting frontcourt with either Noah or Thomas. I'd probably go with Deng/Smith/Noah, with Tyrus backing Joe up at PF (but getting AT LEAST 20 MPG). Have Nocioni play almost exclusively at SF.

Make sure there are at least 3 decent scoring options on the floor as much as possible. I know that isn't always possible, since there's only 4 or 5 legit scorers on the team, but barring injury or foul trouble they should be able to keep 3 of Gordon/Deng/Smith/Nocioni/Hinrich on the floor at the same time.

This is the first time I am seriously considering the possibility of a top 8 pick.

I have to agree D.S.D.
If we lose and i would guess get blown out by miami. that should be the last straw for the season.

I say let the kids play the rest of the season out, or blow it up.

I'm almost done as a bulls fan. I'm not tring to be a fair weather fan, but they arent even trying to win games. I'm glad I didnt buy season tickets this year. I almost did. smart non-investment on my part.

I hate to say this but I hope we suck for the rest of the year so Pax's is force to get rid of this garbage of a team plus get a real NBA coach.

Fire everybody

Red Larrivee · Post #37 » by **Red Larrivee** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 2:52 am

The last straw should have been

Losing to the Knicks Twice (One of them when they lost eight in a row)
Losing to the Sixers at Home
Getting blown out by the Hawks in a No-Contest after the 1st quarter
Barely scoring 60 points against Toronto, in Chicago.
Barely beating a team who had their top 3 players injured. (Sacremento)

The straws are gone, just make a trade.

My first thought was Maker's Mark, but it feels like a Patron night.

do we have any lottery picks from NY this season???

OH WAIT!

We dont need them

theanimal23 · Post #40 » by **theanimal23** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 2:56 am

I'm not rooting for this team. I'm just rooting for the young guys to play -- Tyrus, Noah, Gray, and Thabo. I can care less about anything else. If we win, great, that means the young guys are damn good. And if not, hey we may get lucky and win the lotto.

Just play the kids. Who cares about everything else.
