Bah, don't return your gifts, watch the bulls travel to minnisota and show Garnette what good team basketball is really all about.

The last time the Bulls played the T-Wolves, Minny looked better than the Bulls in almost every aspect of the game. They were longer, they looked like they worked harder on every play, they defended better, they got more open shots.

We need to win against teams like this one, because if we don't, we're not going to win against teams better than this one.

This is a good "test" game for the Bulls. They have proven they can win at home, and that is about it. Their road record, and efforts, have been just awful so far. They need to beat some teams away from the UC to be for real.

I'm really pumped about this game. It's the 1st real off-time I've had since last Wednesday. Should be a good game. I have a feeling Ben Gordon is going to explode tonight.

I'll be watching the game on FSN (from where I'm at...)....let's see the Captain needs to break outta his slump...perhaps he'll do just that vs. the T-Wolves. Here's hoping! Go Bulls!!

Were missing way too many wide open shots and lay ups. If Gordon is on when he comes in he should get some nice looks.

This is embarassing on both ends of the floor.

Bulls down 15 at the half... Anytime they want to start playing some defense would be just fine by me... There is no excuse for getting beat down the floor the way they were in the first half. Hopefully Skiles rips these guys a new one.

15-43 from the field....ugh!!!... however KG has 3 PF's...but the Bulls are having the same problem they had with Minn at the UC...the Wolves simply have better ball movement and tonite's defense...well let's hope it's gonna come to life....might be cold in Minnesota...rest assured in the locker room Skiles anger is keeping him warm!!! C'mon guys 2nd half turnaround dead ahead!

Storming back in the 4th...can the Bulls finish it out...

Posted by: DrunkBomber Dec 26 2006, 09:37 PM

Go for the win and get the hell out of there.

Nice move by Gordon

Tie game! Come on D, get it to OT...

Posted by: DrunkBomber Dec 26 2006, 09:39 PM

Do not let them lob it into Garnett, make someone else beat you. Ive seen him shoot over three guys tonight.

Damnation

Posted by: DrunkBomber Dec 26 2006, 09:46 PM

I thought they said they didnt have any more timeouts, I thought we had a Chris Webber for a second.

That sucked

While it was nice to see the Bulls not give up on that game, they need to remember that you can't take off 7/8's of a game and then turn it on. If they played with anywhere near that intensity for the first 3.5 quarters of the game, this is a blowout by the Bulls.

Oh well, they can't dwell on this too long, they have the Heat coming to town now.

this doesnt have anything to do with the game but did you know all of randy foye's internal organs are on the wrong side of his body including his heart. i dont know if thats old news or not but i just found that pretty crazy. he played good last night.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Dec 27 2006, 12:14 PM

I hadn't heard that until I saw it in the Trib this morning. Supposedly it has no affect on him or his game, but it is just a medical oddity.

Posted by: Chisoxfn Dec 27 2006, 01:44 PM

Wow, I got frustrated with last nights game and turned the darn thing off. In the first quarter we could have easily been pretty much tied with them but continued to miss wide open shot after wide open shot and than fell into a funk the team couldn't get out of till the 3rd quarter.

I just saw the highlight of Gordon's tying layup and Foye hitting the game winner, but wow, talk about a comeback, but in the overall scheme of things it was too little too late and it was yet another lanky team giving the Bulls fits.

What happened with Big Ben in the last quarter? I know Thabo was good and we went small, but KG had his way on our boards...

Posted by: Chisoxfn Dec 27 2006, 06:04 PM

Welcome aboard.

It definitely appeared that Wallace was frustrated with the size and length of the Wolves (as was most of our team). In the end I think Skiles was liking what he saw with the rest of the rotation that he opted not to make a change.
