Hanley calls out anonymous Bulls
While good-natured teasing is a healthy staple of any team, these yuks seemed only to serve as Exhibit A in Boylan's case.
...
Given those numbers, one reporter skipped the postgame softball toss and asked captain Kirk Hinrich, ''What was that all about?''
At least one of the chucklers was heard to mimic the question. Imagine if he had heard what some fans were saying after the supposed effort.
The only players he says or implies it wasn't are Wallace & Kirk. Any guesses? Think this will become a story like the Noah/Wallace altercation?

Is it really news
These kinds of stories are just a continuation of what we've been seeing on the court since mid-Nov. at least and if beat writers actually risked their relationships with the team instead of just lobbing the aforementioned softballs we'd have gotten these stories much earlier in the year. Hanley knows who it was. If he thinks it is important enough to write about then name the guy.

The mocking of the question

Boylan on Wallace
(emphasis mine)
Those aren't really glowing words, are they? (reluctant tip of the hat to Rosenbloom)

Obviously I wasn't there,
On the other hand, I'm often one of those people who tries to break tension with humor, and I'm sure more than one person has thought me inappropriate under the circumstances.
At this point I don't think the guys can do anything "right" in the eyes of everyone unless they win - too good a mood and they aren't taking it seriously, too bad a mood and they aren't playing with joy, no matter what the post-game quote someone is going to dissect it and rip them apart.
Inappropriate?
Early parole for good behavior
Perhaps I was too quick to judge.
Ah, well that makes sense.
I'm not quite that with it - I just meant saggy as in old. But I'm thrilled to have a new use for that particular piece of vocab!
