You can read varying quotes on the same story at the following beat writers blogs:
Mike McGraw (1:49 PM) <----Winner!
John Jackson (1:50 PM)
KC Johnson (2:07 PM) <----Most quotes award!
While not practicing, at least Rose is running and on the bike, the last we heard he could not run on his sore ankle/achillies.

LOL from BDL
Seriously, I’m a huge Bulls fan and this article is horrible. Probably one of the worst pieces I’ve read on the Bulls all year. Anytime you use a quote from “Blog-a-Bulls” that should be telling, a garbage article quoting a garbage blog. I’m die hard Bulls, even through the baby bulls I stuck with it. I know my Bulls! And why don’t you trust VDN? He only guided us to the playoffs as a first year coach with a rookie point guard and no Luol Deng. Yeah, that guy has no clue what he’s doing. Yahoo, I do like your coverage, but this installment is insulting as a real fan.

was that by
jojoenglish? i think that was his sn when he was here…
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!
I doubt JoeJoe is a Vinny fan,
but I’m sure he’s happy Thabo was traded. He can safely attend the next Bulls mall tour.
Speaking of jojo
I cracked up when I saw the video of Benny the Bull with silly string at the Bulls’ Paint the Town thing.
In honor of the dearly departed, I declare July PB&J month - everyone raise a sandwich to the memory of Ben!
LOL I'm sorry this is just... what else can you say?
I wanna say this is from 1996, kinda grunge look and the one dude has two earrings.. anyone from blogabull? Everyone was heavy into Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews was getting very popular. I think I see KC Johnson in the back before he worked for the Bulls.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
No, you were right the first time.

is that Frank Sobotka
from season 2 of the Wire on the far right? i think that actor is from Chicago.
you know they say
that excessive use of quotes is a sign of bad journalism. maybe that’s what yfbb was getting at.
as a fellow Evanstonian I want to support KC, but man his writing is just godawful. it’s too bad for him that all those years working with sam smith didn’t really seem to rub off.
i'm hot for teacher
I think KC puts the least amount of work into his job than any beat guy i have ever read.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
He's got to be collecting stories
for his upcoming book: The KC Rules: How Tyrus Thomas is always on the block.

that's not what I meant at all
It was just a practice update from KC. The quotes were fine. I was just pointing out the time/quotes inverse relationship.

KC's article is 8 minutes better.
See what happens when you work hard in life? I bet if Doug was there he’d have 3 times the about that KC has there. jk

Doug would be late posting the blog
after chasing James Johnson around the parking lot.

Can’t believe the Kelly Dwyer hate here. He’s the best basketball writer out there, people. You try his job, really.
here?
or at Yahoo!
I love me some KD.

No one hates Dwyer here, at least not explicitly.
Most of us wish he would spend more time commenting here. And if Skeets came along, I’d be cool with that.

Yahoo commentators are pretty dumb in general, I'd imagine.
HEre? Meh, Dwyer has his biases, but he’s a good read.
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
Vinny is encouraging Tyrus to shoot ''open'' 15 footers.
“Tyrus needs to get the flow back offensively and defensively, pick his spots,” coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Be our shot blocker back there. Run the court. Make open 15-footers.
I really like how they used Tyrus in the first preseason game in the high screen and roll with Rose. I would really love to see more innovation in this offense instead of give it to Derrick and let him do his thing. Teams are going to double Rose like Boston did in the playoffs so it’s important to get Tyrus involved in the pick and roll. I don’t mind when tyrus shoots in the flow of the offense. It’s when he forces up jumpers that gets to me. I was crying all season for Vinny to use Tyrus and Rose in those sets together. I wanna see how they use Tyrus tonight in the offense with Kirk.

Hollinger mentioned this in his Bulls preview
Rose, to an almost comedic degree, does not throw lobs

He was hitting Noah with them with more frequency at the end of the year. The Celtics
series also jumps to mind. Noah had a couple of lobs for dunks courtesy of DRose.
I think it’s an area he has vast room for improvement in, but to a large degree, I think it was because Derrick was so risk averse (he constantly mentions keeping TOVs down as a concern) and he didn’t always trust Tyrus and to a lesser extent, Joakim to go get the lobs. It looked, to my eyes, like at the end of the year he was starting to build that trust, especially with Joakim.

He actually had way too few TOs for a rookie guard.
It’s unusual, but I’d be pleased if Derrick fouled more and turned the ball over more next year if it’s the result of more aggressiveness on both ends of the floor.
This is just a guess
but Derrick seems like the type of guy that really, really takes what the coaches tell him to heart. Perhaps, since he’s young, they kept pounding into his brain “Take care of the ball, take care of the ball.” and it stifled some of his creativity. It just seemed to me like he was an extremely tentative passer. Like he was afraid to make mistakes.

I've said before
that I noticed many more lob passes at the end of the year. I don’t have any statistics of course, but it was noticeable increase in his lob pass frequency.
All we did last year was run isos and high pick and rolls. We didn't have a lot of success
with the high pick and roll because Tyrus and Joakim aren’t great at setting screens (Noah is better than TT at this, but he’s still not very good) and Joakim can’t shoot and Tyrus can only shoot a little bit — not enough to make anyone scared. So teams sagged off them after the pick, which eliminated the roll part of the high PnR to a large degree. So it instead became pick and pop or a pick and Derrick blow-by to the hoop (which Derrick could do even easier without the screener’s man potentially mucking things up with a double team).

heh....
going through tyrus thomas highlights… here
Maybe this is why Thomas didn’t pass to Rose in the playoffs. He shoot FT’s as well as Rose and rose can just easily get picked off by a Center. (Okay, I’m only partially kidding.)
(oh, and Aaron Gray is still a dickhead. That reminds me of this*, too. What, exactly, has he done again, besides being born 7’2"?)
*bleurgh! had a hard time finding the video of Gray starting down Andre Miller after Rose broke Miller’s ankles… towards the end, briefly

Salmons is out tonight. Greeat... blahhhhhh
So Hinrich and Pargo are starters? This seems like one to miss. Yeah I think I’ll just record this and then never watch it.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
It could very well happen in the regular season too. Yikes!
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
If that happens........... I don't even know what to say. Just bad bad bad.
Thats why I don’t understand the Lindsey Hunter signing. Why would they bring him back? I have already seen more than enough Pargo, Hunter and Hinrich I hope none are on this team next season.
Whats funny is the Bulls were so guard heavy the past couple years now they look thin as hell.
Hot steamy pile of crap behind Rose and Salmons, thats what that is. Thats why I think you keep Byars. But seriously they need to address the back up point guard position.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!
Way to lump together a guy who would start on several teams
and a guy who has passed mandatory retirement age. Nothing extreme there.

Oh Hinrich?
I agree he could start for other teams and I hope he is soon.

I'd rather see Thomas than Salmons.

Yeah I know.
Would that bad to start Byars and Hinrich. Give the kid some time.

byars is gonna get alot of burn
preseason starters are like the mozzerella sticks at applebee’s. They are the best part of your meal but you only see them at the begining of your meal before they are gone and almost forgotten. The majority of your meal consists of average food which you try to justify as delicious, while its only decent and comes in to big a morsal, and tends to make your stomache sick after you eat it despite how good it seemed to taste…
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!
Jaina will
shit if Pargo starts tonight.

HAHAHA
i just read this.
i’ll take pargo starting for watching the game thomas had.
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
in the preseason, at least.
but ugh, was he awful yet again!!
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
I hope TT
can play like he did tonight on a consistant basis. He was awesome.

hell yeah
but yeah, i mean i can’t get too mad at pargo starting. at least he is actually on the team. they weren’t going to start byars or something, and i’d rather have pargo than hunter out there LOL!! as much vitriol as i have for him.
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
Yes I'd take
Pargo over Hunter too. Won’t it be fun to see what this team can do when eveyone is healthy and can play?
