The official mail-it-in preview:
Hinrich/Gordon have to play better, Deng has to be healthy, Tyrus/Noah have to play more, Wallace has to play less, some joke about whatever the players are voting on today, blah blah blah.

3 games out of the 7th seed. 5.5 games out of the 4th seed. Just win baby.
Ben Wallace putting a Magic player on his ass one time tonight buys the Body one more week with me.

Paxson is the problem
-he let the players take over and run Skiles out of town. Skiles is a good coach and deserved better than that.
-he signed Wallace to a salary cap crippling contract which Wallace did not deserve. He is a terrible player with zero basketball fundementals who got franchise player money. Unexcusable.
-he waited too long on trade pieces like Hinrich, Gordon, and Deng, and draft picks. He overvalued them and now they are untradable because the secret is out: these players just aren't very good.
-he failed to aquire a center. He failed to aquire any low post scorer.
-he resigned Hinrich and Nocioni before he resigned Gordon and Deng. Hinrich and Nocioni are not very talented and they are inconsistent. Gordon and Deng at least are above average but Hinrich and Nocioni are, to put it bluntly, crappy NBA players.
-he took Noah and then expected him to all of a sudden accepept being role player, a 12th man. Unreasonable expectations from a player like Noah. Also, there was better talent available.
-he took Tyrus Thomas for no apparent reason other than "he's athletic let's draft him." Aldridge is twice the player now that Thomas will ever be.

Maybe it's because the "starter's" are either out or already sitting in foul trouble.
It would be just like the "kids" to step up and show once again why they should get more minutes.

Sam Smith has spoken (again)
I'd heard Ben Wallace wanted it that way or he was going to suspend me. I'm expecting that when the Bulls return home later this week, Ben will have made it clear he's suspending fans who boo or chant for Kobe.
He's starting to remind me of the Castro-like rebel from the great Woody Allen "Bananas" movie. They are the people's army until they overthrow the dictator and the rebel chief goes power mad. He demands everyone change their underwear four times a day. To make sure they do, he demands everyone wear their underwear on the outside.
For a guy who hates blogs and bloggers, he's actually pretty good at at.

Wallace doesn't want to be a Bull anymore, and is playing shitty on purpose in hopes that he can take a powder puff like Tim Thomas did.
But Pax is pissed, so he is MAKING him play regardless.
Problem is that EVERYONE loses.
And we fans have to watch it fester night after night.

Duhon also lit it up tonight, shooting 33% from the floor, with 5 assists and 4 turnovers.
A winning NBA team cannot start players with these kinds of stats. This team is not winning anything unless a big trade comes through. Therefore, these games are completely pointless. Play Thabo, Noah, Tyrus and Gray big minutes every game and let's see what we have. We already know what we have in our starters (i.e., losers).

Apparently it led to a dispute in the locker room as rookie Joakim Noah complained about the attitude on the bench and argued with veteran Ben Wallace. One witness said Luol Deng had to step between them to ease the tension.
What a fucked-up team. Noah is 100% correct, though.

Team: "Hahaha! The other team is ahead by 30. Oh, that's rich."

Team: "You're cursing. 3 game suspension now!"
...
Veterans: "We're old hands at the NBA, we don't care if we win or lose! As long as we get paid ..."

For those interested, watched up until the first half of the 3rd quarter. Then fast forwarded until Noah came in, slowed a bit and then stopped when Tyrus came in for that one play where he took a dumb jump-shot (but eh, I would too after sitting through that garbage)
Then saw he was out to start the 4th and shut it off. I hope Veektor proved his mettle. Bulls fever!
