The Official 2004 - 2005 Chicago Bulls Thread

And that should do it. Just a reminder, neither Monday's nor Wednesday's game is on national TV. Just CSNC.

That's ridiculous.

 

Anytime the refs want to get their heads out of their rear ends would be good. And thank goodness AD didn't kill the ref, we need him in Game 4.

is first round best of 7 now? it's been a while since I watch NBA playoffs.

Yes.

Yeah, I just sent this email to the NBA about it.

 

Dear David Stern/NBA,

 

Yesterday, I saw a television commercial suggesting that NBA playoff action is "FANtastic." As a Bulls fan, I'm hard-pressed to say if that's true, because most of our playoff games are exclusively on NBA TV. And while I'm sure all 8 people who get that station are enjoying the games immensely, the rest of us are left out in the cold, particularly those of us whose cable providers don't even offer the station.

 

So Monday night, while the Bulls battle the Wizards in game 4, my friends and I will order some pizzas, sit on my couch, and squint at the TV, waiting for the score to go by on the ESPN News ticker. Or maybe we'll settle in front of my laptop and watch the yahoo gamecast. I can practically feel the energy now.

 

Whatever. I suppose it could be worse. I could be sitting in the stands at the game, getting pummeled by one of your players. Okay, sorry. Cheap shot. But so is this television schedule.

 

Sincerely,

 

An Angry Bulls fan in St. Louis

 

I'm sure it'll get read by some minimum wage worker in central India, but I don't care. It made me feel better.

 

If anyone else wants to write, you can do so through NBA.com.

Pretty interesting article. This is how I would want my organization run if I owned one. I hope that Pax is around for a while.

[Brian]

I hope that Pax is around for a while.

 

Pax AND Skiles.

That was great :lol:

 

About one hour until game time, and I'm getting nervous. I hope the Bulls didn't lose as much confidence as I did after losing just one game

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I hope that Pax is around for a while.

 

Pax AND Skiles.

 

Nice sig.

Great start... #-o

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Dear Bulls,

Please quit sucking in the first quarter every game.

Thanks,

Raisin

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yeah, you know you're having issues when Griffin is the leading Bulls scorer in the first quarter. With 4 points.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

You know you are having problems when Juan Dixon has 14 points in the 2nd quarter...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Granted I am only following this game online, but where the heck did the defense go? The Bulls can't run with the Wizards.

[Jon]

The Bulls have already had a handful of opportunities to get back in this game, but all they've managed to do is give the Wizards every possible chance to take the momentum right back.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Way to show up, Bulls. :x

 

61-37 at the half.

[illiniguy]

The Bulls have already had a handful of opportunities to get back in this game, but all they've managed to do is give the Wizards every possible chance to take the momentum right back.

It looks like the lack of depth(Curry and Deng) is finally catching up to the bulls. They look very tired and Washington looks fresh.

Now that was one ugly half of basketball. Man, I don't even know what to say about the way they were playing. I have a feeling that Skiles will be questioning a lot in the locker room. They NEED to figure out a way to slow down the Wizards and not give them as many fast breaks.

[VVMattVV]

I apologize to UMF for earlier saying Nocioni was worthless, but seriously...

 

What role does Pargo play besides poor defense, ball hogging and missing shots?

 

Anyway, I miss Deng and Curry a lot. Two guys who could put points on the board, now if Hinrich and/or Gordon have offnights we're in big trouble.

[Jon]

The Bulls are 3-15 from behind the three point line and have just 6 points in the paint compared to Washington's 24. That should say a lot.

 

In other injury news, Duhon will not be available in the second half today (back).

Edited May 3, 2005 by Jon

[burnt out cubbie fan]

Dixon has 16 points, that also says alot.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

If we're going with ugly stats, Hinrich and Gordon were a combined 4 for 18 at the half.

[DivineBovine]

Can they make a single layup? How about an occasional loose ball then? How about a 3 pointer? This is not their night.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Well, I don't think a comeback is happening. The Bulls have lost all momentum in the series and are done if they lose Game 5, imo.

[DivineBovine]

They are lucky to be within 20. I think its the fact that they only have 2 more TO's than Washington.
