I think I'll try to get tickets at Staples for the Clippers game. It's easier to get tickets for them and I used to watch the Bulls every year at the old Sports Arena back in the day.

The Bulls have Golden State on Monday, Philadelphia on Wednesday and the Knicks on Saturday - all at home. The Bulls are 13-18, 1.5 games back of the 8th seed, Philly.

My cousin lives in Lawrence (her dad's a professor at KU) and she has met him quite a few times when he went to KU. She says he's a really cool and nice guy. She's become a Bulls fan because of him (I helped too - I also helped her become a Cubs fan).

Eric Piatkowski sighting! And he drained a big three late to put it away. Those guys are really moving the ball around well. I'm impressed. The Bulls must be doing right if Jon is posting in here!!

Bulls win! Three in a row!

Bulls lead it 58-52 at the half, finishing the half on a 16-3 run. :D

Bulls beating the Celtics 28-25 after one quarter. I wish we had two TVs here so I could watch them on WGN but I'm watching the Chargers game here. GO BULLS!

I'm thinking of guys like Hamilton, Kobe, Caron Butler, McGrady, Vince Carter - of course a few of these guys are 3's and not 2's. I see a lot of guards going off against the Bulls though (even during the 5-game win streak - guys like Tinsley and Billups scored quite a bit). Good point on the zone D and the wing spans. Ok yea I think with most of the guys you mentioned it would be Deng that is guarding them. I agree it would be nice if we could find a taller gurad to D up however, I think we can allow the guards to try and beat them. If Chandler continues to block shots the way he has been, then they are going to have to settle for the jumper. If the shot falls then ok, but I'll take my chances with the guards trying to beat the Bulls shooting jumpers. I hope Im making sense right now, I feel like Im rambling and I have a terrible headache. So if Im not just tell me to shur up lol. Regarding Tinsley, he was thier only option to score when we played them so he was going to get his points. You're going fine. I understand ya and it makes sense. I just don't know what shur is (had to take a shot at your typos after you did the same to me in Transactions). ;)

Does Duhon play consistent D? Well I dont know if its consistent, but its better than Gordans as of right now I believe. We need a bigger guy off the bench who can guard some of the bigger guards in the league.

Does Duhon play consistent D?

Yeah, I really hope Gordon starts soon.

If only we cold fuse Chandler's defense with Curry's offense. :-k

Yea Raisin it was a really good comeback from the first quarter. Man was that horrible bball. Gordan had an offnight shooting but Deng was hitting everything. I think Deng could become something special by the end of the year. He is starting to hit his shots, and is a lot more athletic than I ever though he would be. No problem on the commentary, Im just glad somebody was reading them, because when I had like 6 straight posts, I was starting to think I was talking to myself :wink: Bulls have the Celtics tomorro night on WGN, both of them will be coming off playing tonight, but the Bulls at least get to sleep at home. Skiles wasnt happy with this game at all in his post game interview. He said it was the first time in a long time that he felt like the team didnt come to play in the first quarter. He went deep into the bench early trying to shake things up, and then brought back the starters for the 2nd. Seems to have worked. Listen to this stat...since the Bulls started 0-9 and were allowing 102 points a game....they are now allowing 89 points a game since that time. For a young team like this to be playing that kind of defense says alot. I'm really excited about this team. Even if they don't make the playoffs this year (I think they can if they reach .500), I think they will next season if Chandler and Curry are back. Yay, the game is on WGN tomorrow! \:D/ And Jon posting in the Bulls thread? :shock:

Awesome win - great recovery from that first quarter. Thanks for the comments, Keener, since I can't watch any of Bulls games that aren't on the Superstation or against one of the LA teams. That's two in a row. :thumright:

Yay!! Curry had 9 rebounds today.

89-82 Bulls lead it with 1:19 left!

What the heck?

Bah.

Please do! And GO BULLS! I have never been to UC. I went to a few Bulls games in the old arena before I moved out of Chicago. It's a nice stadium. And you haven't seen the starting lineups until you see them at the game. TV doesn't do them justice. Argh, I wish I could have gone back in the MJ days. I do have an audio and video clip of the starting lineups on my computer. :)

Quoted from Chit Chat: GO BULLS!

Gordon is the closest thing this team has had to a go to guy since MJ. Not that he's MJ, but Jalen Rose and Jamal Crawford couldn't create their own shots to save their lives. And Hinrich can't either. It's Gordon! He's an amazing shooter who can shoot on the move. This team hasn't had one for a long time. What I find most amazing is how high he gets on his jumpers and other shot. Kid's got hops. I keep thinking this little guy is going to get blocked but he doesn't. I have really been impressed with him; he has won me over - I no longer wish we had drafted Igoudala instead.

Or Mercker? 8-[ That would be an entertaining game thread!!

Todd Walker should start the opening day thread.
