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

[Wilson A2000]

Can you imagine a 7 game series with the Heat? Good lord they have played some good games this year. The Bulls must feel to DWade what the Cavs in the 80s felt to Jordan. I can't even get mad at that game. Gordon, Salmons and Rose did all they could offensively, except Salmons not being able to hold the ball. It's hard to win a game decided on the last shot when you don't get the last shot. Can only go to the well so many times.

 

Ben played great for most of the time, but he gets greedy and decides to take 27 foot three-pointers which I am not a big fan of. He will score 40 and give up 40.

love brad miller's reaction

the bulls really suck ass... get out of my city

[Wilson A2000]

I am about ready for Aaron Gray to get some more playing time. What does Brad Miller do better than him?

Pass, shoot and even defend?

The question should be, how is Aaron Gray still in the NBA?

[SpongeWorthy]

Miller is OK. He's way too slow on the pick and pop on offense and way too sow to defend it on defense. I thought he'd be more of an effective jump shooter off of pick and rolls but he takes forever to wind up his shot because he's usually ball faking towards the hoop first. That part of his game is gone now and he just needs to take that jumper immediately.

[Mike Aller]

Wade is really, really good.

[Mark_R]

How the hell did we only play 7 men last night and Rose get FIFTY FIVE minutes!?!?

 

Vinny cannot stay beyond this season. I don't think this can be emphasized enough.

Who DOESN'T give up 40 to Dwayne Wade.

 

I feel like I'm the only Ben Gordon defender in the entire world. But wait until next year when he's gone and the Bulls are averaging 83 points a game and sitting at 4-17.

Of all the games worthy of this kind of hyperbole, last night's was most certainly not one of them.

Figured we needed the other end of the spectrum :)

 

I hate Wade.

He is the best offensive 4 or 5 the Bulls have. That is not saying much, but it is still the truth. Miller cannot play defense any better. As slow as Gray is, Miller is slower. He has also been making some stupid passes lately. Every time Brad shoots, he is dangerously close to getting blocked because he can't jump.

I think you think Ben Gordon is wayyy better than he is

From what I've seen of him (which admittedly isn't a ton), he's beyond the level where you say he's "slow." He's at the level where you start to use extra phrases like "molasses in January" and stuff like that, because "slow" just doesn't seem to cut it.

I think the truth lies somewhere in between. We would be a pretty miserable team without him this year.

[wolf stansson]

Ben Gordon is good. He can't be your 1st or 2nd option, but he is a very useful player.

Incorrect.

[Flames24Rulz]

Gordon's better than many Bulls fans give him credit for. That'll become apparent if the Bulls don't re-sign him after this year.

 

I still think they will though. The lineup with Rose/Gordon/Salmons in it looks really good and if the Bulls have a shot to unload Deng in the summer, they will.

Incorrect.

 

Why not? He averages 20 points and is usually the go-to guy on a terrible team. How many players who score 20 a game are not the second scoring option?

There is no defense in that unit. There is no height in that unit. Salmons can guard a 2, but not a 3.

Citing PPG by itself is getting dangerously close to citing RBIs
