The 2005-2006 Chicago Bulls Thread

[Brian]

now the Bulls are beating da Grizz by 24 pts. :shock:

[Jon]

They're shooting extremely well against a pretty good defense.

Only took Skiles two months to figure out that Deng and Gordon belong in the starting lineup. :D

this is definitely the lineup that gives us the best chance to win games. I wonder what Skiles is going to do when Chandler is 100%...Harrington has been playing well and before Chandler got hurt, he was playing pretty poorly.

 

Raptors next on Monday...looking ahead on the schedule, we can make up a ton of ground this month if we can actually play well at home. Let's keep winning :D

[wolf stansson]

Clearly Ben Gordon frequents the NSBB Social Forum, read this thread, and immediately kicked it into a higher gear upon noting our displeasure.

[Mark_R]

Could this move to the lineup for Gordon be a showcase for him in a deal?

[David]

Have people just completely jumped off the bandwagon/lost interest in the Bulls?

 

3rd straight win tonight; 113-104 over the Raptors.

 

Gordon with his first double-digit fourth quarter of the year.

[Mark_R]

Seems that way, Dave. Pretty good game tonight by the Bulls with an almost awful collapse after being up 23. I can't imagine Skiles was pleased at all that they let the Raptors back in the game from that point.

It got to depressing to watch when they were playing like crap, and now I'm not at home and at school and don't have much time watch and only get WGN.

 

Capt. Kirk also had a double double.

nope I haven't lost interest in them. Another great effort by the offense tonight. Toronto sure has some shooters on that team..I gotta admit I was pretty scared when they cut the 22 point lead down to 2.

 

Minnesota is next for the Bulls on Wednesday. Let's go to the Target Center and get win #4 in a row :D

The Raptors have been playing pretty well of late, including a road victory at Indiana. I suspect Skiles is thrilled with the W. Great to see the Hinrich-Gordon back-court excel again, too.

I prefer to look at it like Pax is increasing Gordo's trade value.

Boston might take Gordon for Pierce -- if the Bulls included Deng. No thanks, and I doubt Ben's going anywhere.

I'm assuming Thomas goes too?

 

I still think Gordon, Thomas, number one pick gets it done.

I don't see Paxson going that route at all. $14M in cap space, Gordon and a lottery pick is a lot to give up.

 

Keep your young talent, go as hard as you can after Ben Wallace, and draft a stud PF with the Knicks pick.

[Mark_R]

I'd love Ben here, but I don't think he'll leave Detroit. He'd take less money to stay (from what I've heard, considering they basically gave him a chance when no one else would)

 

I hope Pax makes the Bulls attractive again for prospective FA's.

Lots of guys say that -- that they'll take less money to stay -- few do. Wallace might be one of those guys. I'd give him every opportunity to change his mind. Besides, Tayshaun Prince is a restricted free agent this summer. Dumars might not be able to afford both.

Not a lot of guys out there after Wallace. I don't have any interest in Peja and I hope Paxson doesn't either. If Wallace signs with the Pistons, that's when you try to pull off the big trade.

Prince was recently signed to a 5 year 47 million dollar extension:

 

I wholeheartedly agree with you on Peja. He'd be a miserable fit here.

[1908]

Thanks. Not much of a home team discount. I like the Bulls chances to sign Wallace even more.

[Andy]

I haven't lost interest but I can't watch the games consistently anymore. Great to see the Bulls playing well.

Yeah that. been too busy at night time although I did listen to the game on the radio last night. If the Gordon/Hinrich backcourt starts working out I really don't think Pax will trade Gordon. I'm really hoping that it does because Gordon is my favorite Bull right now. I really like the fact that we are building form within and using our draft picks to be more successful. I don't know too much about the NFL draft this year and who is available but I'm assuming getting a C or PF should be a priority.

[Mark_R]

Terrible effort tonight sans Noc and Kirk. Team looked asleep on both sides of the ball.

 

Also looked like they were exploiting our lack of size all evening.

[Jon]

Big Z pumped for the finish of this game!

[Flames24Rulz]

and pretty bad defense gives the Pacers the lead with a little under 4 seconds to play.

[Jon]

And Big Z is sad :(

 

But it's still a 2-point game with :02.5 left and Bulls ball.
