You guys have a great night fellas. We'll start out winning streak with the next game we play

missed the game, children of man is pretty good movie btw, but just looking at the box score... this loss falls squarely on the shoulders of Hinrich... terrible shooting....

I blame the extra play during the offseason... I really hope Arenas or Redd can steal Hinrichs spot.

He was actually shooting quite well before the hamstring injury. I wonder if its that more than anything else.

Ben Jordan N Da House!!

Ben Jordan playing like a big boy!

Please stop that, comparing Gordon to MJ is flattery he has never deserved.

I was at the game last night and it obviously was a big disappointment. McGrady went from quiet to unstoppable very quickly. The defense in the late 3rd and entire 4th quarter was awful. I gotta question Skiles not playing the rookies at all and not playing Wallace much in the 2nd half when the Bulls were already at a height disadvantage.

Well without any inside presence, there is no way the Bulls can win games without the guards hitting from the outside. Pax has to be burning up the phones trying to get a big man who can score.

Theyre taking terrible shots, and why isnt someone else on McGrady

Stacey King actually did a really good breakdown on how the Bulls were not defending the double team properly off of the pick and roll. Instead of the screeners defender jumping the screen, he was hanging low and only hedging the screen to prevent the drive. What this allowed was for the ballhandler to move the ball to the other side of the floor, pulling the extra defender over to him, and then allowing the open skip pass across the floor to the open shooter.

That was a very ugly game. Defensively we played very well, despite the Rockets missing a good deal of open threes (as the Bulls did much of the same). However, at the end of the game we should have been doubling Tmac.

BUt in the end this game fell on the Bulls for there lack of boxing out. They gave Houston way too many second chance points and paid for it in the end.

Just wanted to let you know that it was mostly like a joke bro. Gordon and Jordan sound somewhat the same, so when Gordon gets hot (like MJ) then its a good time to bring that up. But anyways, we all know that Gordon is no Jordan... Its very obvious...

I didnt like how Skiles coached the final minutes... It was obvious that Hinrich couldnt guard TMac, and he was just shooting over him. Plus, Hinrich was off the whole night. Skiles, you lost it for me son.

I know, still though, I dislike it. Gordon is very streaky and not a very good decision maker. It's more the fact that I don't like Gordon because of that. I have a hard time tolerating inconsistency of his magnitude. That said, this team does need him because he is anything but afraid to take a clutch shot. Most of the team isn't like that.
