Confirming what we all know

Surprise! We shoot a terrible ratio of 3's to long 2's. It's a shame there weren't any good three point shooters available this summer...

Tyrus Receives More Recognition for Community Service

Tyrus Receives More Recognition for Community Service

Tyrus was one of 10 athletes named to the Dream Team For Public Service for the Jefferson Award for Public Service. Makes me question what kind of character traits Reinsdorf looks for in "his guys" that Tyrus gets this kind of recognition but will be cast aside by the organization next summer.

Breakdown of Derrick Rose's Shot Selection

"Last season Rose took over 50% of his shots from right near the basket. This season? only 32% of his shots have come from point blank range..."

"Tyrus brings us more depth, more versatility, more athleticism," Del Negro said. "It's a big loss for us, no question."

Tyrus Thomas is at least two weeks from returning from his fractured radius in his left forearm.

Salmons not looking to shoot 3s....what?

Salmons not looking to shoot 3s....what?

[...I got nothin'. So here's a fanshot that at least is humorous, since laughing makes the Bulls fatigue go away. Why couldn't our average team have the fun offense and crappy defense, instead of vice versa? -ed.]

Does John realize that the hoop is a real object that one can actually travel to? Because I have a hunch contested, off-balance, fade away jumpers don't constitute as attacking the rim.

As if waiting for someone to drop in their lap, like Jordan at No. 3 in the 1985 draft, the Bulls...

As if waiting for someone to drop in their lap, like Jordan at No. 3 in the 1985 draft, the Bulls let Ben Gordon go because they couldn't move Kirk Hinrich's contract, even if they still might have found a taker and, even after banking all that money for 10 years, they won't pay the luxury tax.

Big deal or no?

I tend to think not, though D'Antoni blew a fuse, somewhat symbolic of the season the Knicks are having.

Pretty interesting breakdown of how they got Tyrus open looks and how it was Derrick's penetration that forced the Spurs to leave Ty wide open.

Also, it will make you miss Tyrus.

"Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Bill Russell all those guys should have their jerseys retired, too," Jordan said. "I understand his gesture, but I am in the same group as those guys so I wouldn't want to see my jersey retired unless you retire those guys. It is a compliment. I totally understand that. I appreciate LeBron for doing that and it is very thoughtful."

"It's great playing out here," Rose said after Wednesday's practice. "I love playing out here. Besides Chicago, I like to play out here all the time. You got great weather. If you want to do something you can go eat anywhere. Shop anywhere. Get rest. People really don't care who you are out here because you have some people that are bigger than you out here. So, they don't really care about who you are. They just let you be."

So you're too big for Chicago? Actor? Mumbles.
