Bulls.com Interview with Gar Forman
Every player had the greatest summer of their lives. Deng will be back to top form. Rose is ready to step up and lead. Hinrich will resume his all-world defense. Miller's farts smell like daisies....
Its actually a pretty good interview. The money shot -
"He [Deng] says he is ready, and the doctors have given him a clean bill of health. He feels good, and he’s been working, running and playing. We expect him to return to when he was in top form the year before last, if not better. Luol is only 24 years old, but this is his sixth year in the league and he has become a veteran. We need him to become a leader also, and our expectations are very high for him."

He's ALLIVVVEEE !!!

i dont care
what anyone says, i am excited for this season! I cant wait to see these guys play. Rose, Fish, Lu, Ty, and Noah is a really solid starting 5, and the bench is gonna be on point too, kirk, brad, johnson, pargo, taj and fatty! NICE!
I liked most of what Gar had to say
but of course he’s going to make everything sound AWESOME, so I’m taking things with a grain of salt.
However, what I particularly liked:
- Most of the players were frequent visitors to the Berto Center during the offseason
- Noah’s level of conditioning
- Deng’s apparent level of fitness, even while recovering from the stress fracture
I also like that they said defense is their #1 priority going in to camp, but the two caveats there that make me leery are:
1. That re-signing Gordon was “the #1 offseason priority” and they never even made him an offer. And that’s not even a “they should have resigned Gordon” comment – they should have just been forthright and said that they don’t want to pay $50m for what they feel is a bench player. Why give it the lip service?
2. They talked about a commitment to defense last year too, and well that didn’t really happen, did it?
But overall, it seems like the players currently on the roster all have used their offseason well.
Gordon
is the reason why they didnt play defence. It was almost like they already knew that they would score alot and also win games scoring alot (BG) so they didnt need to force the defence side of the game. but i think with BG gona they need to become defensive minded to win games
"One good thing about being wrong is the joy it brings to others"
Yer dumb. They were a top 5 defensive team at one point with Gordon getting significant minutes. They didn’t play defense last year because of lack of a good defensive philosophy. Vinny had them switching on every screen. One guy on the team doesn’t make others not play defense. That is really asinine to think.
I was going to respond to that too
But I just decided that it was so ridiculous I might as well just leave it alone. I guess he forgot about all those Skiles years when the team was one of the better defensive teams in the league with BG.

Can I copy and paste your z's?..It would take too much effort for me to share your opinion
Tyrus Thomas is really Stromile Swift with a retarded mask on..Think about it Same height, same school, same athletic ability, same sucky ass work ethic, same no real position having retarded statement making fucker. News flash retard. Sloan doesnt like lazy ass jump shooters who have 1 for 17 games. Fuck u stromile.
It takes more effort to type all those words than to type 'zzzzzz'
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
If everyone is healthy and in shape for the start of camp
maybe they can learn the VDN playbook.
12/31: Fire Vinny Del Negro.
am i the only one excited about
vdns development also? who knows maybe he suddenly turns into an average nba coach…i mean it is possible….
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!
I wouldn't say I'm excited about it or even willing to give VDN a clean slate
But I am intrigued to see if he spent the offseason trying to identify where he went wrong last season and improving on that.
We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look.

So...
you are assuming that VDN has a playbook?

No wonder Pax has Gar as the front man
It says he’s going to be checking in with Bulls.com twice a month! That must have scared Pax to death to have to be interviewed that often lol.

I thought the Interview was very informative
Gives us insight about they way the Bulls organization think.
I sense a lot of optimism in the tone of Gar Formans voice.
A lot of the players got in better shape and healthier this season. Its very reassuring too hear. Hopefully that correlates to a better product on the court. To entertain us. And for us to judge…
Them talking about Joakim Noah got me more excited about Joakim Noah.
He was Frances hero this year lol.
Deng working out 3 times a day?! Calm down Bruce Lee!
Tyrus HAS improved statistically every year… Hopefully the “trends” continue…
Derrick Rose. Wow Gar Forman goes orgasmo about him. lol.
"Miller's farts smell like daisies..."
That’s only during the first 25 minutes of play. After that, they smell like…ass.
