James Johnson was the only reason and he shows up late to practice and starts on the bench.
anyone else notice league pass is screwy?
How can we have the worst offense in the league when everything about our team owner and coach is offensive?

hes like the head player assisant guy
i cant remember his actual title, but i’m pretty sure he predates jordan as far as bulls tenure.
I always wondered the same thing
Sam: I think you mean Joe Lee. Joe always tells me he’s going to write a book. We’ll see. There’s probably nobody who’s been around Chicago pro basketball longer. Joe’s an assistant equipment guy and has been with the franchise its entire history and as I recall worked for the Chicago Zephyrs as well. He worked for the city for a long time, but I’m not sure if he still does and isn’t on the road with the team. Joe is what you call a character, but not in a bad way.
Joakim on whether he ever tried tennis: "I played a little bit. If anybody on the Bulls wanted to play me, I would kick their ass."
I like the strategy so far
Pargo is playing the drive and kick game rather than the drive and miss game. Oh wait.. there it is.
Bosh or Bust
The Bulls are like the team the Globetrotters play.

If Memphis happens to lose to this d-league of a team , they should be forced to disband and then we can maybe sign oj mayo :P
We lost to Golden State
full of D-Leaguers. And then we won 5 in a row against good teams… ugh.

I was totally ready to ignore this game, but I was playing 2k10 and decided to switch over real quick to check out the score and was surprised to see that the Bulls had scored 10 points in the 1st quarter.

Acie Law is our go-to guy.

I’m just gonna say it now too…

i really love our energy.....
to bad that doesn’t win games in the NBA
I'm liking him so far
He could fill Hinrich’s role as backup PG (which he should be, nothing more. Ever.)

Pargo... only one shot.
its the difference.

I love how Stacey was about to mention a list of players
When referring to Acie Law’s bad luck of playing behind great point guards.
He stopped instantly after saying Mike Bibby
No green St. Patty's unis this year?
Probably the only thing that could make that group look any worse right now…

Vinny should go put a uniform on
he’s prolly still better than Flip/Pargo even now…and for once he’d be earning his paycheck

Wow first thing i see when i turn the game on..
is a pargo missed jumper

Also, Law was a beast in college, but I don’t think he ever got a decent opportunity in the pros.

He was playing well after the break, I think the PF has taken its toll on him.
He’s basically the only good big man left on the team.

I rewatched the part where he got ejected vs the Heat
When he said ’That’s buuuullshit,’ it sounded a lot deeper than I thought he sounded. But yes, his voice is not very nice to listen to.
"Where are the FUCKING TWINKIES?"
No really
He he very well may be the worst starting 2 guard in the league.
That is a more reasonable position.

So Pargo was playing PG
instead of Law before tonight because of what?? Something that simple is why VDN is a terrible coach.

Can you guys make a list of better NBDL players than Chris Richard to send to Gar Paxdorf?
I mean… GOD! Can we start with Rod Benson? Is he still in the D-League??
Is it just me or does Flip look like he's only wearing socks when the camera is far away?

He hasn't had an above average season in 3 years.
And I’m talking above average relative to Kirk’s talents.
Oh well, 2 more years of pretending he brings value to the club.
by Ozzie Montana on Mar 16, 2010 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions
wow im not even watching the game but i read the box score
Its official JJ is the new TT and VDN is really out of his mind for not starting JJ because he was late to practice. Thats ridiculous, we need a win badly. I really dislike this org very very much.
I like how JJ is still being taught a lesson as the season is going down the shitter.
He didn’t even pull a Tyrus and skip practice altogether, he came late.
by Ozzie Montana on Mar 16, 2010 8:23 PM CDT up reply actions
Its time for the Jimmy Valvano speech.
Vinny has had it in his back pocket all since he’s been coach. The countless hours in front of the mirror have payed off for his delivery, and this is the group he always hoped to inspire, the hapless, shotless, short, prayerless basketball team of his dreams. I’d like to be a fly on the wall in that locker room.

All the more reason PaxsNealGarFunkle should be axed! clear out the whole bunch..

"Go ahead, make my day"
"We boil at different degrees"
"A good man always knows his limitations"
"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"
I wouldn't cite this as a reason
unless the reason being they’ve managed to put out a product that even I, a fairly serious Bulls fan, won’t spend a second watching. But most of that is injuries. mostly.

Just a hypothetical question (because i've never really suffered a serious basketball injury)
Is a sprained wrist, or whatever D-Rose has right now really so bad that it renders a person out for a game? Or is it more of a precaution that it doesn’t get worse?
flip
sure watch a lot of ben gordon vids. he got the dribble of own foot perfectly. didnt get the shooting part tho
Oh Pargo
give up basketball… is your pride worth a million dollars?
