Sam Smith agrees the Bulls need to "Goon Up"

or at least play physical defense.

They are not Physical, but

The Bulls are over matched in size. How many times the Bulls defended the paint with a player about 6-7 inches shorter and about 30 lbs lighter. This is why the scrubs on the other teams are getting career highs. It is like giving them free throws every time they want. The Bulls need to think defense first and the defense will drive the offense. Any idiot that has watched basketball at all should know that that made the Jordan Bulls successful. I continue to say that we have the players to play good defense but the coaches gave up on it and now they blame the players,

I did not see a minute of last nights game and will not watch such stupid basketball until they get their act together.

Dennis was generously listed at 6'7" and 210 pounds, and regularly caused normal sized power

forwards problems. Heck, he even guarded Shaq a few times in his career, so I refuse to buy the size excuse.

Missing the Cleveland game was good for your mental health.

Dennis Rodman

is not the best guy to use as any example of what is to be expected from anybody in any way whatsoever IMHO
The guy wasn’t exactly “typical” LOL

From the comments in teh article, looks

like Cleveland did not even try to play hard since they saw no need to do so. We are really a bad team that reflects the coach’s inabilities to plan.

Hilarious

Though James came out seemingly not even trying. I don’t think it was the doubles that affected him. I think he just didn’t take the game that seriously the way the Cavs scored so easily, which probably should have been a hint to the Bulls.

Hard to blame Lebron, actually. Why bother wasting effort against a team as bad as the Bulls?

Why resort to name calling?

Since Drew Gooden has his own blog on Bulls.com

does that mean he can’t be traded?

Wow the Bulls have become the Clippers!

It's absolutely an embarrassment

to have Varejao get his career high and actually break the 20 point mark. And VDN’s quote “Our rotations to him (Varejao), we just, for whatever reason, are not accepting that challenge,” said Del Negro. “I don’t think night in and night (we) control some of the other team’s big guys” is pretty clearly directed to certain players who need to stop making quotes in the papers and start playing like they say they need to. Talk is so goddamn cheap. I’m tired of hearing you say you need to play with more effort, or you need to play smarter, do it or STFU.
