Sorry if I'm stealing you thunder Matty, I just wanna make sure those of us who do not have the pleasure of having Hi-Speed DO have the pleasure of reading vague and slightly infuriating comments such as

"Wow look at tyrus"

"Gee, these commentators just said something really funny"

or

"OMG! Tyrus got hurt"

10-5 Bulls
with 4:56 left in the first quarter.

by sue369 on Jul 11, 2007 6:21 PM CDT   0 recs

Nice rebound
and putback by Gray.

by sue369 on Jul 11, 2007 6:23 PM CDT   0 recs

I like how the announcers
are predicting Marty Vicious' demise because of Aaron Gray's play.

They keep talking about
Bulls fans being down on Andre Barret. I have never heard that before. I always thought he was a decent 15th man.

I wondered
where they got that too. They said earlier that Chicago fans wanted Curry to be better than Barrett.

by sue369 on Jul 11, 2007 6:29 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm down on Barrett
hogging the ball and sucking in summer league.

by Scotter on Jul 11, 2007 6:29 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He does hog it, doesn't he?
not a good thing for a pg.

Yeah,
5 hour first quarter with 20 million fouls. I see they are still on their Taco Bell kick today.

28-16 Bulls
at the end of the 1st quarter.

by sue369 on Jul 11, 2007 6:35 PM CDT   0 recs

They are more
Bullish on the refs, and their anointed "5 hour quarter."

Everyone in the east got better
except the bulls? What did Cleveland, Miami add that I missed?

by Blacknight23 on Jul 11, 2007 6:43 PM CDT   0 recs

or Detroit
In fact, who besides the bottom feeders (Boston, ATL, Knicks, Cats) made SIGNIFICANT improvements? A case can be made for the Magic amongst the playoff teams, but other than them, nobody improved.

At lease Chicago didn't draft a crack addict like the Nets...they got a crack dealer instead! :-)

by DarthSidius on Jul 11, 2007 6:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Favorite thing I've seen this off-season
was an early line on the 2008 championship that had Miami as the best odds out of the east.  After last season, even with a healthy Wade, I don't see how anyone can expect that out of them!  (Sorry, can't find the link - it was a while ago)

Get Gray and Thomas back in there...

lol, ripping the ref for checking the clock "trying to make the game longer that it already is"

But I got a good NBA commercial where Elton, Steve and Jason Kidd are thanking me for going to basketball games.  That's nice.

They weren't joking
about their IT department sucking

They said
a little while ago that they didn't think they were still on. Hope they get it fixed soon.

Does anyone
have a connection yet? Cause I don't.

Probably
going into the 4th quarter now.

Aaron Gray is losing weight.
http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/gray_interview_070710.html

He's down to 10.5% body fat from the end of the season when he measured at 16%. He wants to be 8% or lower by the beginning of the season. Which, in three months, shouldn't be too hard if he's dedicated.

Yes, of course.

by tyger1147 on Jul 11, 2007 7:59 PM CDT   0 recs

After clicking on that link...
I thought the Bulls may have drafted Jim Halpert from "The Office" in the 2nd round.

by MMP on Jul 11, 2007 8:54 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

heh
that is pretty accurate, actually.

by your friendly BullsBlogger on Jul 11, 2007 10:37 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Bulls win
77-66. Recap is up on the Magic website.
What time is it? Game time!

by cliff levingston on Jul 11, 2007 9:06 PM CDT   0 recs

Doesn't look like Tyrus played a very
efficient offensive game, though he rebounded well and had five blocked shots.

Thabo and Gray had nice stat lines.

by 1958ChiTown on Jul 11, 2007 9:18 PM CDT   0 recs

Looks like
Gray had a decent game. He led the team with 15 points and made 5 of 6 free throws. He did have 5 fouls tho.

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 6:30 AM CDT   0 recs

Skiles seemed happy with him
in Today's Tribune article.  It looks like KC got to go to Orlando for the games.

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/cs-070711bullsbits,1,5204101.story?c oll=cs-bulls-headlines


He has a big body and isn't afraid to use it," coach Scott Skiles said.

Skiles is watching league play courtside as assistant Jim Boylan runs the team.

"I think Gray's movements can be deceptive," Skiles said. "He can appear to be slow. But he is covering ground. He has a chance because he has legit size and he plays like a big man. He likes to use his size and rebound. He has made good decisions with the ball

by KT on Jul 12, 2007 8:24 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks KT.
I'm hoping Aaron will be a good player for them. Sport NIte interviewed him last night and he seems so excited to be playing. He loves that Coach Skiles is there to watch and Mr. Paxson too. This was really cute, he said that TT and Thabo had taken them under their wings and helped them so they didn't get yelled at so much. LOL!

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 10:37 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No
I just meant his interview was cute. KT posted it below and see what he says about TT and Thabo and calls Pax Mr. Paxson. You can see how excited he is to be a Bull.

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 1:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Nope!
But, he should get out of the house (MarriedHusband 101), and lift some weights at the gym.  Kirk, please don't come back again next season failing down to the ground every time Billips bumped him in the playoffs.

Oops!

by exult463 on Jul 12, 2007 12:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

That clip is up
http://chicago.comcastsportsnet.com/multimedia.asp

It's cute how Aaron calls Pax Mr. Paxson.  I wonder how many of the other players call him "Mr."

by KT on Jul 12, 2007 11:57 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I thought
the whole interview was cute. You can sense his excitement on being a Bull.

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 1:23 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Looks like
the live stream is still down. Maybe they will have it fixed by the Bulls game.

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 2:11 PM CDT   0 recs

In other summer league news, Yi has played like
dog crap since hitting the game winner a few nights ago.

He has been very inconsistent thus far.

Of course, it is only summer league.

by 1958ChiTown on Jul 12, 2007 3:39 PM CDT   0 recs

Looking a
little sloppy today. Gray had a shot he should have made.

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 4:13 PM CDT   0 recs

That's one of the knocks on Gray,
he doesn't trust his athleticism and just throws it up inside instead of makign the shot.

by Scotter on Jul 12, 2007 4:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

TT and Barrett
are no goes today. Wonder why?

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 4:17 PM CDT   0 recs

It's just their day off probably, but
it also takes two guys who dominate the ball out of the lineup.  Which creates opportunities for other players like Aaron Gray and JamesOn Curry to create shots.

by Scotter on Jul 12, 2007 4:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

These guys
don't think TT will be back tomorrow either.

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 4:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Injury?
Or has he simply already gotten his alloted minutes?

by 1958ChiTown on Jul 12, 2007 4:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

They implied
the injury from Monday. But who knows if they know for sure.

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 4:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Lance Williams
is playing well.  Bulls lead 25 - 22 at the end of the first quarter.

by sue369 on Jul 12, 2007 4:26 PM CDT   0 recs

Thabo's getting
a lot of minutes.

by bu11s on Jul 12, 2007 4:28 PM CDT   0 recs

That's good to hear
I'm happy for both Ty and Thabo to be having a good summer league.
