And Portland,and washington,and OKC,and...
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.
Sir Paxdorf.
:(
Yeah, there have been some shockers this year…

VinnyBall is finally starting to click on all cylinders.
As we all know, VDN stresses ball movement and getting everyone involved in his offensive sets, but against the Heat, the Bulls had only 13 assists on 43 FG’s.
But tonight, everything he has taught his young Bullies has started to come together in a big way, as evidenced by the fact that although they only converted 27 shots, 13 were assisted.
This is a vast turnaround in only one game. 16 less baskets, but yet the same number of assists. Although Rose, Gordon and Kirk shot only 6 for 30, they apparently did a great job in setting up their teamates with D Rose leading the way with 3 assists, Ben with 2 and Kirk getting one, but it was a thing of beauty.

We loss Noce.. And now this whole team is Charmin (1ply)
we have to be the softest team in the NBA and playoff contention is when the play gets more physical.. I don’t believe we can make it. We have some nice offensive players in (Rose, Gordon, Salmons). VDN knows nothing about managing a team under toughness situations.
Gordon shouldn’t be allow to dribble, just catch and shot.. Tyrus and Noah are too soft and can’t finish. Miller and Gray are too slow and can’t move.
So many uncontested layups by little pg is sicking!
man up!
Charmin?
Nah, that shit’s too expensive, we’re more like Dollar store special 2 for one 4 packs…

Gotta hand it to Chicago
When they play a game with almost no chance of winning, they either fail catastrophically, or make it one hell of a game. No in between with these guys.
Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.
Oh, and a little note from the Miami/Boston game
Combining tonight and Monday’s game, D Wade has now played 80 minutes without committing a single personal foul.
Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.
In these 2 games, the Anointed One also had 8 steals and 3 blocks while going to the line 34 times.
The man has lightening like reflexes with featherlike pinkies, so they never leave a mark. The sheer velocity of his hands causes the ball to get blown into his direction for an easy steal or a perfect block without making any contact with his hapless lesser on the other team.
Mere mortals don’t have a prayer against this superior entity.

In reference to the Mighty Wade, it's lucky the late Wilt Chamberline played in a different era.
Although Wilt played in over 1200 NBA games and never fouled out even once,
if he had to go up against D Wade, he would have been gone before the 3rd period was over and Wade would be shooting at least 20 free throws, after holding the giant scoreless and blocking 10 of his shots.

Sorry, Wilt Chamberline was the 5 foot 3 inch hot dog vendor who worked the stadium while Wilt was on the Lakers.
The big guy’s name was Chamberlin. There was no silent e. like when you describe the Bulls, the “D” is usually silent.

Just think, if I was GM we would have traded for Wade on draft night.
Then again, if I was GM, there would be something wrong with the Bulls organization, because I was 13 at the time Wade was drafted. Why would they have a 13 year old GM?
Chicago Bulls Blog and Forums. NBA Power Rankings.
Except Pat Riley wouldn't have traded the pick
Because every scout he had went insane went he wanted Kaman, and practically begged him to take Wade.

Agreed.

Roberson scored 8 quick points.
Although he rode the bench all season, he learned from the master D’Antoni, when you have a look, take the shot. Don’t be a chump and pass it into the black holes created by Vinny’s offense. Not only will you never see the ball again, the Bulls would probably turn it over if you did.

He was the only person to play poorly tonight?
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.
Oh, well case closed then. Lock him up.
Better if he did 4 points every night instead of averaging 20ppg for the season. Better question — how well does he bowl?

It's not
the fault of Ben. It is all Vinny’s fault.
Don’t you read the comments here?

lazy and no pride
Defense is the name of the game my Bully’s, when you learn this then everything starts falling into place. Remember Defense is #1 priority! Whatever happened to Johnny Bach? or for that matter Scottie Pippen? I’m sure they can teach the art of Defense. Can anyone answer this question or are they on John Paxsons shitlist?
we consistently
make fans like me question why I put up with this shyt for so long..i mean , the magic is good, but were’s the heart? Were’s the competitve spirit..and most of all where’s the preperation? We should have been prepared for this game…not Wii Bowling
..on 2/18/09, Noc was gone..and on the next day, Larry "The Chucker" was just a bad dream...
After a Demoralizing Loss
in Miami, I expected us to lose by 20 tonite. I’m so proud they were able to exceed my expectations.
..and
(8) Milwaukee 30 37 .448 22 19-13 11-24 18-24 4-11 99.9 100.4 -0.6 Lost 1 3-7
(9) Chicago 29 36 .446 22 19-11 10-25 14-24 6-6 100.9 102.5 -1.5 Lost 2 4-6
were not in 8th anymore…

2 days later..
Where are the hundreds of new posts of people wanting to give ben gordon the keys to city?
We already gave the keys to Rose.
How would describe how Rose played tonight? As long as we are going to be judging everyone based on one game rather than by this season…
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.
Rose sucked
but I still heart him – pause

He doesn't need the keys,
but he needs to be in Chicago.

wow, orlando playing without 2 of their best players (hidayet turkoglu jameer nelson)
and we still get blown out by 28. we are the worst 29 win team in the league. even okc, minnesnowta, memphis, and the clippers play games with more heart then we do. I’m starting to think now i hope we dont get the 8th seed because whether it be boston or cleveland in the first round we will get swept and lose each game by at least 25 points.
I just got back
from the game and I can’t believe I spent $100 on this fucked up game. VDN sucks and needs to go a.s.a.p. everytime they came out of a time out they fucking turned it over. There was absolutely no game plan at all.
This is a preview of not having Gordon next year.
Miller is slower than Robert Parish in his last year.
The bitch that works at the Stadium wouldn’t let my son participate in the freakin pregame activities because he wearing a Bulls jersey and I’m not assuming thats what it was, she told him this.
Just a horible experience all together.
Did you guys really think they would win tonight?
I didn’t even watch it. Yes I was calling for a 5 game losing streak.
Pool and a pond... Pond be good for you.
yes
bulls can win any game. if we live in a world where the clippers can beat boston then anything is possible
Boston is without KG so.......thats that.
Bulls beating an Orlando team licking their chops for a win at home. Come on dude. Everything was lined up for a loss. They went bowling yesterday. A team that doesn’t know who their goto man is went bowling. A team that doesn’t run plays well out of TO’s went bowling. A team that still can’t play help side defense went bowling.Oh yeah but they’ll beat Orlando in Orlando after one of the biggest losses of the season that left them so tired of basketball they went bowling.
Pool and a pond... Pond be good for you.
clippers are still the damn clippers regardless of who boston has or doesnt have
yes. i believe in what we can accomplish based on talent alone. rose and gordon’s to be specific. shame they were off tonight
I also didn't watch
missed the first half, saw that 4 minutes in the 2nd half that Miller and Hinrich were already on the floor. No need to see any more.

only reason miller was out so early
was noah’s foul trouble. and rose was getting burned bad, but i didn’t think he should be pulled. but noah was having problems all night. it was kinda funny not even 6 minutes into the game both starting centers were out with 2 fouls.
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
Read this..thougt id post it here
Tyrus Thomas: Two of his 13 shots were attempted in his range, by which I mean, at the basket. The other 11 were jumpers from 23 feet, 20 feet, 19 feet, etc. WHY IS TYRUS THOMAS SHOOTING JUMP SHOTS?! This man is driving me crazy. He’s having a love affair with his jump shot, only his jump shot is like a secret girlfriend who doesn’t really exist. In addition to going 4-for-13 from the field — and his 13 shots were a team-high, by the way — Tyrus finished with only 5 rebounds (none of which were offensive) despite playing a game-high 37 minutes. At one point in the third quarter, he lofted yet another balky jumper (from 20 feet) and immediately started lazily backpedaling despite the fact that the shot was pretty clearly off target. He never crashed the boards. He was totally lost on defense, particularly in pick and roll situations. Derrick Rose got picked by Ty’s man three times in the third. Not once did Tyrus switch off, and Rose’s guy, Rafer Alston, strolled in for three uncontested layups. Each time, Derrick turned, disgusted, to the sidelines and held up his hands in a “Are you watching this crap?” gesture to Vinny Del Negro
