Good to hear something positive! I’m optimistic about this team long term. Before the season started, we all had to know that in the first couple of months the bulls would run into some growing pains. I think I read somewhere that we’re the youngest team in the league, so we’re bound to make mistakes. The key will be how they learn from their mistakes half way through the season.

If they show no development by February, then its time to get pissed off.

but I can’t post it here..

D.Rose really is a reason to have hope.

Recked.

I needed this optimistic boost. You just made my day. All that needs to happen now is Pax’s firing!

and Hope springs eternal in the human breast".

Your well thought out optimistic treatise revealed a hidden truth when you so cleverly described Larry Hughes as a succabus. A succabus was a medieval demon in female form who would seduce chaste young men in their sleep and steal their seeds (thus explaining wet dreams).

Now, if you observe closely, Larry does have somewhat soft feminine features and has apparently entered VDN’s slumber at some point, stealing his ability to reason, if not his seed. What other reason can one come up with to explain his fascination with the game destroyer other than he has gained some type of demonic control over Vinney’s brain?

So are we fools for holding out hope this team will succeed?

If Larry is in fact an angel (fallen), than he will be unable to continue treading on our dreams, assuming Pope was right, that fools rush in where angels fear to tread and we retain a positive mind set. At some point, Hughes will eventually return to the netherlands from whence he came, or at least to the far end of the bench. This also explains how he/she was able to seduce the Cavs into rewarding him/her with such a ridiculous contract in the past. If there is no logical explanation, sometimes we must consider supernatural forces may be the only explanation for such bizzare behaviors.

So I recommend the next time you Bulls fans go to a game, carry a cross and whip it out if you are close enough that it will catch Hughes’s eye. He will be forced to immediately take himself out of the game, as this will likely drain his life force. Fans win and then the Bulls win as well. You say my suggestion is crazy. Is it any crazier than putting him out on the floor either as a 2, 3 or 4 at crucial times in the game?

in 3 years no one from this roster will be on the team, with the exception of Deng who no one else will be dump enough to pay $14 million per.

Please amend to Deng plus Rose or else we might as well move the franchise to Grand Forks, North Dakota, right after we sign Eddie Curry to a long term contract to shore up our interior defense and finally have a post presence who can score.

Geez, we’re 6-7 3 games into the circus trip. There’s been one stinker, the second night of back to back road games in the west for Greg Oden’s debutante party. We’ve proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we’re not going to overtake Boston, LA, Cleveland, etc just yet. We have beaten Phoenix, Indy, Dallas, and were close enough with Atl to play the blame game afterward. I’d say we’re playing to at least our potential. TT, Noah and Thabo are being given opportunities. Rose wasn’t held back for any philosophical bs, and Gordon hasn’t been mistreated.
    Seems to me that Vinnie’s been addressing everyone’s wish lists in a balanced manner and has a better record than I expected. Not many of the players have exceeded their norm, so it’s not luck or smoke and mirrors. They’re playing pretty good ball for who they are. TT and Noah won’t-can’t play much worse. Deng was just starting to play to his norm.
   They’ve played to a 37-38 win pace at this early stage against a very unfriendly schedule with injuries to 2 of the top 7 players, and extremely disappointing starts from their key frontcourt players. I’m still extremely hopeful for my closer to 50 wins than 30 prediction.
   And oh, yeah. There’s that rookie point guard. Pax needs to make one good move this year. There’s an unusual amount of instability in the league this year. All star caliber players are being shuffled around. Come on, Pax, one good move. Remember that 8-8 game against LA, facing down Lambeer, winning the title single-handedly against Phoenix. You could have a second bronze placed outside the stadium, you with a three point shot in one hand and a phone in the other. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!

However, I believe one of your offerings should be spelled BLASPHEMOUS, not blasphemus. I know i’m being petty, childish, etc., but I think we are now tied, 1 to 1, in this unofficial Blogabull spelling bee.

I should add irritating, because I also realize that some of my posts really piss off some of the bloggers who can offer more expertise regarding X’s and O’s while mine may do nothing to improve the plight of my beloved Bulls. But I remain a loyal fan through thick and thin and will never lose hope.

However, since the Bulls have a tendency to repeat the same mistakes it can sometimes seem tiring to continue to beat a dead horse, or should I say Bull, all the time as we repeat the same complaints and offer the same suggestions. But I also find myself in almost total agreement with California Al’s and 90% of Snley’s detailed points in this post, so I won’t restate them other than to add….right on, good job, think positve, this season is far from over, and we still have Rose.

And I know you won’t believe me, but I do hit the reply link (the little word reply +). Why it doesn’t always work for me may be due to either my Parkinsonism or unseen demons that have captured my brain.

Derrick Rose said he has been bonding with his teammates this seven-game road trip, which continues Wednesday at San Antonio. There has already been a team dinner. ’’We’ve come together, we’re way closer,‘’ Rose said. ’’You can talk to them about anything. We’ve been going to each other’s rooms and playing around. We’ve watched games and played video [games].’’

John Paxson will retire, leave on his on merit, or be canned.
