The 2005-2006 Chicago Bulls Thread

[Andy]

At least the Bulls didn't give Darius Songaila the ball at all the key situations.

 

Oh wait...

 

Tyson Chandler gets paid 60 million effing dollars not to give up 15 offensive boards to the other team (especially ADRIAN GRIFFIN), and he doesn't do it. Is it too late to waive him?

[Flames24Rulz]

Adrian Griffin is a bum. It only figures the guy comes back and has a career night against us.

 

those jerseys were UGLY. we have the Magic and Lakers for our next 2 games before we play the Wizards and Heat. Let's win the next 2 please.

[Jon]

Could they find an uglier jersey? Yikes.

But the bench t-shirts looked just like the Cubs' road gray uniforms.

[Careless]

Dirk took out 2 bulls with elbows and scored 35?

If I hadn't already lost all faith in karma by being a Cubs fan, that would have done the job.

I'm a Mavs fan...but I was positive blue was not a color that the Bulls wear?

[Jon]

They were Chicago Stags (1946-1950) throwbacks. The NBA has something called the "Hardwood Classics" program, so that's why they wore them. Of course, they looked especially bad considering Dallas didn't wear throwbacks.

Gotcha, that makes sense, and I thought thats why they were wearing them, but then I saw a picture of the Mavs from the game and they were wearing the whites...it was weird.

[Jon]

No Hinrich, no Chandler (upset stomach), and now the Bulls could be without Gordon for the second half. He injured his knee right before the first half ended.

radio announcers said Gordon is out for the 2nd half. Looks like it will be the Duhon and Deng show in the 2nd half. It's going to have to be, or else were going to get blown out.

[Flames24Rulz]

looks like Funk and Wennigton were wrong, Ben is ready to go for the 2nd half!

[Jon]

Yeah, thankfully. He's wearing one of those sleeves on his knee, though.

 

Pargo with a nice three for the corner! 64-59 Bulls.

[Jon]

Another huge three for Pargo to extend the lead to 8 with 4:00 left.

[Andy]

I have a gigantic man crush on Jannero Pargo right now. 8/12 shooting with 21 points. Deng has 22 and 10 too. Talk about stepping up without Chandler and Kirk around! :D

[Jon]

And Nocioni hits the dagger. 97-85 with under 2:00 left.

 

Pargo draws the offensive foul. Huge effort from him tonight.

[Jon]

What the heck...

 

Three straight turnovers and it's down to a 7 point lead with :27.3 remaining.

[Jon]

102-93 the final. Bulls win on the road without Hinrich and Chandler and improve their record to 9-8!

If Luol Deng is any part of a deal for Peja, I will be seriously pissed.

 

Would anyone be opposed to a Chris Duhon for Josh Childress trade?

Deng for Peja? Where'd you hear that? That would suck badly. Duhon for Childress? I'd probably do.

I'm hesitant to do any deal that loses us one of our main rotation guys without netting us a big guy. Du/Childress I'd have to think about hard but it would be hard to get rid of Du.

[Mark_R]

From what I've briefly heard, is that if the Bulls were to try to acquire Peja, the starting talks would be with Deng. He's a stud, probably untouchable right now.

 

And regards to the proposed Duhon for Childress swap, (which I admittedly pulled out of my ass about 15 minutes ago) it really makes sense for both teams. It allows Gordon to slide into the starting rotation and gives us a great (BIG) swingman to come off the bench and not allow the other 6' 6" two guards to kill us. That's the Bulls' Achilles Heel. Big guards. And in the East, where you gotta contend with: Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, Rip Hamilton, Larry Hughes, Michael Redd, Ron Artest, Dwyane Wade, you need a big defender to matchup with these guys.

 

And for Atlanta, their need for a true point guard is well documented, and their decision to pass on both Chris Paul and Deron Williams for ANOTHER swingman this past draft is so mindboggling. They have Royal Ivey and Ty Lue playing the point. That isn't very good. Meanwhile, they are overloaded at the two/three: Josh Smith, Josh Childress, Joe Johnson, Al Harrington, and Marvin Williams.

Thanks Jon!

 

Do you happen to know why Saturday WGN games are no longer automatics to be on the Superstation? The Pistons game on the 3rd and the Wizards game this Saturday were/are not Superstation telecasts.

No idea, but here's a list of all the games being carried on the Superstation. With just a couple of exceptions, starting in late December, they'll carry a Bulls game every weekend.

If anyone has a single in the UD for Friday, PM me with a price. I really want to go. If its outlandish, I may laugh at you.
