National game tonight. Cavs visit Chicago. Last time, Ben Wallace was scoring like crazy on us inside. That was a bad sign.

Won't be able to see any of this probably. I've got this stupid gay ass digital photography class at 6-8:45! Probably wouldn't be worth the time ne ways, we will just get embarrassed by these guys like last time.

Well, I sure HOPE that we can play well and maybe win, but Cleveland has made us look really terrible this year, not that we're great, but seriously, we suck against them. We should ask the Wizards how they do it!

One of them had a crazy bounce. Nice win. Seemed kinda fluky, though (Deng's shot, etc.).

i had a good feeling about this game, i dont know why. they looked like the old bulls when we used to win by hustle and pure energy, and everyone used to call us scrappy. is it me or do they seem to be playing with a different mindset since kirk has came back? deng looked good again, tyrus was huge on the defensive end, and rose came up big towards the end. big win at home for us. that delonte west injury was nasty.

Both of Rose's And 1s were AWESOME! It is really nice to see Rose getting all the attention and throwing it to a wing and them making it. It's what everyone wanted to happen. Tyrus is playing like a different player right now, hopefully this is the Tyrus we will see from here on. I forgot how much I missed Kirk. It's crazy we won with some bad shooting performances. This game made my night.

The emergence of Tyrus Thomas is having a big effect on the team, also Kirk and Deng finally back! The team looks alot more like Skiles defensive team and I applaud for Vinny in benching Hughes! This was a huge win for us and I have a good feeling about the next couple of weeks. I'm glad Kirk's back. He has brought focus on defense to this team and its contagious. Tyrus stealing Lebron's soul late in the fourth was crazy, it was orgasmic- and then he continued to be a dominant defender near the rim. I didn't get to see the first half but this surprised me. Lebron didn't have as good of a game as his stats might indicate, we held him in check and Rose redeemed himself in overtime finding his shooters to pull out a victory. Great win! Now we gotta keep it up.

I would sooo love Tyrus to average something like 13-15 pts, 9-10 reb, 2-3 blocks, and 1-2 steals. Of course that is wishful thinking, but that would be really valuable. He looked like a stud guarding Lebron. Every time he switched to him I got excited. |

Geez, getting a little nuts about one game. 2 days ago we were ready to dump everyone on the roster...
Tyrus has been better of late, but he's still only had 4 good ones out of 8 this month and is averaging a decent-but-not-stellar 10-6 on 43% shooting. The Bulls are 5-5 in their last 10, but that includes home loses to the T-Wolves and Thunder.  They're still the same team, they just came up with a good night.

They were 7/13 from 3 land, but that's not a lot of attempts. You're still right on the latter part, but hot shooting didn't win that for them. |

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 16 2009, 01:45 AM) That is one of the most incorrect statements I have EVER heard. Actually its not.. Not at all. He has played some tremendous defense lately and it's helping alot.. Just look at last nights game. Without Tyrus last night, we would have lost the game. Like I said, with Hughes benched forever now, Vinny has gone with the youth movement- (I'm not sure why Gooden isn't starting anymore, maybe someone could clear that up, I've been pretty busy lately..) With Kirk back, I "think" the team gets a trigger effect from his defense. Were not a great defense or even a above average defense by any means still, but its better than being a piss poor/god awful defense. |

Gooden sat on Tuesday after re-injuring himself, although it was supposedly minor. |
