First.

Sorry it has to end this way for you guys… Hopefully you’ll have 5 guys able to make the flight to your next stop on the magical mystery tour…

wtf is this lineup

Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that."

noc is not starting though?

guess he’s inherited the curse of BG. VDN really likes his scoring off the bench.

Gray should be sitting with me, watching the game

I guess those 3 dunks last night was enough to sway Vinny…ugh

on another note, they are gonna kill the rose/oden storyline… but dont forget aldridge/tyrus….

Hughes is the worst player in the NBA

When I watch NBA games I often call the fouls before the referees do. Sometimes it’s a gift. Most of the time it's troublesome. - NBA Observer

Ya right, worst in the league, your just coveting that 15 million that Lebron got him.

29 years old, 11th year in the league, averaged 15 points and 31 minutes a game over those 11 years and will hit 3000 points by 30. Plus solid defense, better than any Bull on this team? Yep, worst in the NBA? Or, is that this years four games? Please. Its his third, fourth game of the year after having is shoulder ripped out, which Rush Pres said originally out to January. Two years ago, he works the point all the way to the Eastern finals at over 70 games? Some people are just haters, back your shit up with some numbers on both ends of the court, he did, don’t go off when there is a missed shot, when most the league sits in the low 40 ‘s. How many players make it over 5 years in the NBA in their career? You don’t have any idea. Under 5 Lets get big old gentle Ben back, warm up our locker room. Tired of every busting on Gooden, Hughes, when both been hurt and a bunch of youngsters. Turn the channel if you don’t enjoy it. Or did you really think Rose was going to average 20 a game all year and drive the lane after one year out of playing 25 game schedules in high school? Just have to call some of you FANS on your bullshit post, would love to see you play any Bull with one arm tied behind his back after they are retired for 10 years. Have some patience or turn on your playstation.

Get. A. Clue.

My hit list: Larry, Thabo, Lindsay, Demetris, Cedric, Aaron, Paxson, Reinsdorf, Del Negro, and Schanwald. We're left with Rose, Gordon, Hinrich, Deng, Noce, Gooden, Tyrus, Noah, Harris, and Bickerstaff. Harris takes coach and Bickerstaff takes GM. Who needs an owner? Pay for it with the money that the Blog A Bull community will spend on tickets to see a good team!
Correction: Matt takes GM, and Bickerstaff stays Head Assistant Coach.

Seriously ... what?

Hughes is the antithesis of good basketball, possibly the very embodiment of suck. I would rather have NEARLY any player in the NBA than him [trading Wallace for him and Gooden was a good move … mainly because we got Gooden]. Watch him play. His amazing gambling for steals[and missing, and screwing the D’s positioning] combined with degrading athleticism and his persistence in shooting at seemingly random points in the game aren’t matched for suckitude in the NBA, especially for his contract.
What is he shooting, 30%?
I mean, yeah, he’d destroy me in a game of 1 on 1, but … err … he’s not playing against me, is he? No, he’s playing against people who are so good at basketball they get paid to play. And the results are not good.

BATUM?

What the hell? Please, let oden beat us. Let Roy beat us. Let LMA beat us. Let Rudy Fernandez beat us.

But don’t let Blake or Batum beat us!

good lesson for rose right now

sometimes you cant wait to attempt to take over a game. He needs to go down shooting RIGHT NOW.

by Ayeljay54 on Nov 19, 2008 9:52 PM CST   0 recs

I can't believe he stared hughes at 3 and Gray at 5

Oh wait, it’s VDN.

I guess starting benchwarmers ISN'T a good idea

Wow, and I bet VDN thought he was going to become a real innovator with that idea.

Terrible

Let’s not forget that Drew Gooden is also terrible. Forget about defending 5’s – he can’t defend or block out 4’s. I can’t wait for him to be gone.

I was at the laker game last night. They don’t play as a team. Defense is horrible. Hiring vinny was a horrible decision.

Is Blake outrunning Rose?

General manager needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow,next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

I don't think the Bulls are shaving points

But if an NBA team were to ever throw a game, this is probably what it would look like.

Noah, TT and Thabo in before noce?

Noce should have started in Deng’s place. not Hughes.

And should have come in before Thabo. TT and Noah are fine.
