What the fuck
The bulls game may not have been pretty under Skiles but at least they played D.
For a fan, the difference between a team that tries to play D and one that doesn’t is the difference between mere frustration and outright fury.

At least Thabo doesn't hurt the team.
By taking really bad jump shots and getting out of position on the defensive end. Larry Hughes is a far worse option than anyone on the Bulls roster.

Love the aggression
from Luol. Great to see the others picking it up with an off night from Rose; I think he (Rose) comes out fired up in the second half.
Would love to see more than four minutes for Noah, however!
