Nice shot by Rose
Working on his jumpshot has been doing wonders
"I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Gonna kick some ass in the USA. Gonna climb a mountain, gonna sew a flag, gonna fly on an eagle. I’m gonna kick some butt, gonna drive a big truck. I’m gonna rule this world. I’m gonna kick some ass. I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Rock, flag, and eagle!"
Larry Hughes sighting :(

Wow that Gordon drive was too easy
And who the hell is James Singleton?

We need to play more teams from the western Conference (oh we will next week LOL)
Memphis W
Phoenix W
Dallas is looking ripe….lets hope to continue that success on the road against the West.
the balance has definitely shifted.
Not ready to say that the East is better, but it’s not as lopsided as it was in years past.

Yay Larry Hughes being useful

lolz no idea
I’ve been watching for like 20 minutes only, was fuming about the Swisher trade and forgot about the game.

Bah he's selling short
But he got lucky with Floyd and Q!, so who knows?

Yea it's an odd trade
I never really was a fan of swisher, but it doesn’t really seem we got much in this trade
wow
First Hughes makes a 3, then steals a ball an TT makes a dunk… NICE!
Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!
VDN walks by himself as everyone huddles up.
That’s a pet peeve of mine. I like to see a coach actually doing something after he calls a timeout. My experience watching coaches is the good ones are usually doing something.
De gustibus non est disputandum
This is exactly how they lost to the Lakers...
Let’s hope they don’t figure it out.
Don't call me doughboy!
Wowwww nice shot by BG
He is just on fire as of late.

If only he'd get one more rebound
But I’d guess his back isn’t hurting hehe

espn gamecast says 6 assists
Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!
4 assists shy right now
I don’t think he’ll get there, but his all-around game is showing that the bumps along the road are not going to be as severe as we thought.

Rose had an average first half and really turned it on during the 3rd quarter. Great players adjust!
I like how Rose went to Gordon to talk to him about it.
Rose understands that selfish play is not winning play…that was great!
"The whole leverage thing, it's a difficult thing to gauge" -Paxson
Ben Gordon should be fisted for not giving Rose the ball when he asks for it.
Im glad Rose went over to Gordon afterward and talked to him. he’s a leader.
Rose wanted that ball badly
I don’t want to get angry, but seriously BG. If you can’t get your shot then pass the freaking ball to Rose.

Gordon needs to give the ball to Rose
Why doesn’t he understand that?

lol Gordon!
That was hilarious.
I’m sure that’ll change later this season, but that was pretty funny. [I’m calm, it’s a 13-point game. :P]
That was a 5-point swing, BG.

I love watching this on the Dallas feed
Every commercial so far has Jerry Jones or fatty food in it.

Nice redemption by Ben

If they dont make a trade for a post player then they will have problems.
If Gordon was going to sign that offer they took off the table I woulda let him take it and spanked him.

Unless that post player is Chris Bosh...
Who else can we get that will score 30+ when we need it?

he's not gonna do it every night
specially against better defenses (a lot of them are)
You're kidding right?
While I am not a Gordon fan, Kapono?
"The whole leverage thing, it's a difficult thing to gauge" -Paxson
I'm not Jason Kapono if you're wondering
by gobulls1124 on Nov 13, 2008 10:08 PM CST up reply actions
nope
but you’re the same person who was pining for Kapono about 6 months ago

Like a missed FG
Because clock is expiring.
This game is not yet over…under 10.
"The whole leverage thing, it's a difficult thing to gauge" -Paxson
Now loose ball foul...
Two shots to make it two possession game…
The Bulls are letting them back into it.

Ugly ending
Idiot fans booing, fat idiots.

And yes I used idiot twice

Bulls Win!
YES!
Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!
4 points off my prediction...
Had the Bulls winning 98 – 95… Dallas has 2nd half issues, even more so than the Bulls.

Dallas will blow this team up by the end of the year...
It must be nice to have a billionaire owner.

They don't even look like a real team
Head coach Jim Carrey looks even more confused than Luke Wilson.

Josh Howard makes them a lot better obviously...
But even with him healthy the Jason Kidd trade was a bad idea.

Really fun game;
especially liking how Luol is rounding into shape. Two very solid, controlled 20/10 games in a row. It’s a product of playing within himself.
BG, of course, was brilliant. But it’s hard for me to get as excited about him when I feel resigned to losing him after this year.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
BG all-star?
Gordon’s last 5 games -
27.4 pts, 53% fg, 45% 3pt fg, 4.4 ast, 3.4 reb.
I think it is safe to say the Rose-Gordon guard combo is a success.
Ben Gordon = 2nd most important player on the team!!!
Again, the guy just comes to play. Quite honestly, he has a shot at having a brilliant season. I’m seeing more and more why he took the QO. I just hope that if he keeps playing anything like the way he’s been playing that he gives the Bulls a legit shot at signing him this offseason. But I still say we should have made him a better offer and maybe not offered Luol Deng as much as we did.

Somehow get rid of hughes
For an expiring contract, and give the rest of that money to gordon. Gordon Rose starting, Kirk 6th man, thabo just in case we need another guard for some reason
Package noah or tyrus or gooden or one of our bigs with hughes just so we can get rid of him, it could be the most suckiest overpayed player in the nba, so long as the contract expires by the end of this year it wont matter….
Rose gordon and hinrich supply the skill, thabo supplies the height (?) and i think that becomes one of the better guard rotations in the league. I want this done now
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, Bullshooter, and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light....
