Nasty eleven.

Looking at the schedule for November it doesn't appear a win streak for the Bulls is comming anytime soon.

vs LA W?
vs Detroit L?
vs Toronto L?
@ Phoenix L?
@ Clippers L?
@ Lakers L?
@ Denver L
@ NY L?
@ Toronto L?
vs Atl W?

I'm sure they might be able to get a few road wins here and there but damn, talk about not taking care of your business. I didn't expect them to be 0-3 with a huge road swing insight. Maybe they believe everyone on the outside and thought the had a free ticket to the NBA Finals.

If this team doesn't get it together they maybe looking at a huge hole early which doesn't help you getting home court advantage against teams like Boston and Detriot and Toronto who seem to be the top teams in the East so far and should be winning consistantly. With trade rumors and contract distractions taking the spice out of this teams magic sauce it doesn't bode well for a mentally weak team. After watching the Bears I no longer can judge a team based on how good they should be.

How nice would (2-11) sound going into December? Now that wouldn't be the end of the season but it's just not going to be any easier seeing how the East has improved.

Of course a win could solve many a wound. Maybe thats all they need.

Don't make me write a diary about rebuilding this team around a young Tyrus Thomas. JK for now. Amazing how the failed last 20 seconds or so of reg. in the NJ game has turned into this....odd fucky stigma. Just win! The rumors will go. Just win and you'll get your damn money. Please stop losing your heads. It's one thing to be bad but it's another to be good and play like your bad. Thats mental. Get over it you pampered babies. 1. Talk on D 2. Help out 3. play smart 4. Move the fucking ball on offense 5. know the plays(Noah) 6. Take care of the ball(BG) 7. Stop with the stupid fouls(Kirk mostly) 8. Don't dwell on the source of your unhappiness. 9. Be a fucking pro and do your job your in the NBA. 10. Have some damn fun you get paid millions.

If they're going to...

...lose every road game and lose every home game against a good opponent, I don't think there's much chance of a good season. I don't see that happening, though, unlike you.

Very concerned

This team is so mentally weak. The silly mistakes continue. Captain Kirk is in his 5th year and he steps out of bounds two plays in a row? huh? This team has never really played with expectations placed on them and you're seeing the results. The only player that has looked semi-good is Tyrus.

Is it me or does Lebron walk like a duck?!

adjusting to expectations

Perhaps it will be good for the Bulls to be underdogs again in a few of these upcoming games. They can get back to scrapping on defense, and moving the ball on offense. The poor shooting thus far indicates that while some of their struggles can be attributed to the natural hot and cold streaks inherent in a predominantly jump-shooting offense, some of it is psychological.

Consider Deng's summer trajectory: He is the man for Team Britain and dominates against sub-standard European competition. He reads the papers predicting the Bulls win the Eastern Conference, and expecting him to make The Leap. He starts the NBA season and discovers that he is the focus of opposing defenses. As bad as the Bucks and Sixers are, they are worlds better than the Belorussians, and becoming the man against this competition will be far more difficult than it was this summer. Toss in the trade rumors and stalled contract talks and realize that there is a lot on his mind. Not to mention that the Bulls offense is at its best when the ball is moving, when multiple threats are attacking the basket, and not when the ball is stalled in the hands of a player feeling like he's got something to prove (Deng and Gordon fit this bill).

I do think that this is just a three-game losing streak and not a harbinger of things to come. These Bulls will adjust and start working hard again. They have to, there work ethic is their unusual strength. I'm interested to see how the Bulls break out of this slump, and, specifically, who leads them.

Yeah but the fact that they need to be underdogs

means they only win when people dicount them. They can't sneak up on people. They need to mentally prepare for big challenges which it seem they don't do. Other than the Heat series which was a beati team already they have failed. NJ last season to clinch it all they go out and flop. They get throdled in Detriot the first two games. I'm really worried this team just doesn't have it mentally.

Hey who let Danny Crawford back in the league?

Bulls start cold each season

I expect this to last a few more games, but after that the Bulls should play better, they have proven it for the last 3 years.

With much more improved

Orlando,Atlanta,and Charlotte we just can't start
that slowly.
P.S.Seems like commentators in Detroit were expecting to have an easy win over Atlanta at opnenig night,but Hawks is athletic and fast team,and shoot really well.66-58 at the end of 3-rd.
Maaan,we have to start playing NOW!Otherwise it's gonna very,very tough season.
