4/15 - Bulls (41-40) vs. Toronto (32-49) - 7 pm, CSN

Play defense, losers.

 

Although I guess losing this game was already a foregone conclusion.

[cubswin2009]

And another loss to a worse team. Vinny needs to go.

[SpongeWorthy]

Just horrid interior D tonight.

[SpongeWorthy]

It's pure agony watching this team bricking mid range jumpshots and yet those are the only things we can generate with any sort of consistency in half court sets.

it's sad that i get more satisfaction out of seeing this team embarrassed by crappy teams than i do seeing them win

Hmm...I don't know how that's possible if you're a real Bulls fan.

 

VDN needs to go. I'm pretty sure he's on a 2 year deal and not a 3 like someone said a few posts ago.

i'm a real bulls fan. i just realize that every embarrassing loss is another nail in vdn's coffin. wins do no good at this point.

Please can we just fire this man. Just put Harris or Bickerstaff in there for the rest of the year. What the hell would it matter anyway? The man is like Nero playing his violin as Rome burns around him.

 

I don't even care anymore what a huge mistake it was to hire him. I just don't want to see Vinny Del freaking Negro up there making a mockery of this team and the head coaching position anymore.

 

Come on. There's little doubt he isn't even really running the team anyway. End this. For the good of everyone, even Vinny. End it.

[cubswin2009]

I want Tom Thibodeau from Boston. Dude is suppose to be a defensive guru.

[Soul]

I'm not even angry at Vinny. He didn't even know what he was getting into. We just need to dump him, mark it down as a mistake, and move on. Kind of how the Packers did when they sent Rhodes packing after one year.

 

Whoops. Mistake. Move on.

[SpongeWorthy]

Great start!

[Andy]

Tyrus has had a couple of really nice post moves to the bucket tonight. He looks much more polished.

You must have missed the 1st quarter.

[UMFan83]

Wow...Bulls are coasting to a victory and NJ and MIL both lost tonight....which means that at the end of the night there will be a 3 way tie for the 8th seed with those 2 teams. And the Bulls hold the tiebreaker over both of them due to H2H.

 

So in a few minutes, the Bulls will hold a playoff spot. Amazing, all things considered.

Sounds like a good time to give VDN that contract extension he so richly deserves!!!

[Flames24Rulz]

Only seven players really got any minutes tonight. This team plays a lot better short-handed.

[Guest]

Pretty important game tonight since the Bucks and the Bulls are statistically tied for that 8th spot.

[Wilson A2000]

Did anyone notice that Rose was playing the final minutes of a blowout win during their last game? I wonder if Vinny did this to spite Paxson. "Hey Pax, if you want Rose in the game in the fourth quarter, here you go!" If that is true, I don't care if you do have to pay three coaches next year, he has to go. Once you are using players to advance your own agenda, you shouldn't be coaching in the NBA.

 

I love the Bulls' press release yesterday. Deng needs "active rest" and the doctor encouraged him to challenge himself. Deng is weak stock. I knew this for a while. Fortunately, Deng is having a terrible year, so this doesn't hurt the team.

 

This is probably the biggest game of the year so far. They need this win because the upcoming shcedule is very difficult (Heat, Celtics, Lakers).

 

Tyrus Thomas, stop putting the ball on the floor. You can't dribble. You can't shoot fade-aways either. Who does he think he is? Dirk Nowitski?

[manbearcub]

great run here.

[SpongeWorthy]

The outside shooting is on fire tonight.

[Brian]

Did anyone see the story about Obama and a Wizards fan talking trash court side at the game a couple nights back?

My favorite part is the dude talking trash against the Bulls to Obama was wearing an Obama shirt.

[UMFan83]

2 minutes from owning the 8 seed by ourselves. And NJ lost, so the Bulls will be up 1 game over Milwaukee and 1.5 over New Jersey and Charlotte.

 

And the Bulls will clinch the tie breaker over Milwaukee with the win, and already lead the tiebreaker with NJ (but not Charlotte)

[SpongeWorthy]

45 free throw attempts (37 made) is nice.

[Andy]

This is getting dangerously close to being a likable team again. Albeit one with a horrid coach.

[Wilson A2000]

Nice game by the Bulls. Noah is playing better. But boy, Brad Miller is slower than molasses.
