Bulls up 28 to 15 after a solid first quarter. Held NJ to 33% shooting, 4 blocked shots, Bulls shot 55%, Gordon 4-4, 3/3 from downtown.

In the 2nd quarter, the Bulls ran out a lineup of Duhon, Gordon, PJ Brown, Adrian Griffin, and Viktor Khryapa.

Live with Chris Webber now. He mentioned the Lakers, Heat, Magic, Mavericks, and 1 or 2 other teams.

I think he was on to something when he mentioned the LA Galaxy...I didn't like C-Web at Michigan...and sure don't care for him in da Pros.

Come on Kiddies, no 2nd half let down...

You'vr got to be kidding me. 18 point lead down to 3. Ugh.

Its getting bad to see how many times the Bulls blow enormous leads in the 3rd quarter.

Outscored 26-16 in that 3rd quarter...I can hear Skiles now....Finish!

And as deep as this team is, you'd think that the 2nd half should be the Bulls' time. Beats the hell out of me.

Rally Gordon


the depth of the Bulls though is deceiving, its kind of like the depth of the NFC east

Gordon is 8/11 from the field and 5/5 from Downtown.

Hinrich is 5/15 from the field and 1/6 from downtown.

Victor just messed up Vince on defense....Bulls up 74-67, Cmon Chicago!!!!

What the hell is Deng shooting that for.

Down to a 1 point lead.

Argh this 2nd half stuff is making me sick..

MOTHER freaking DAMNIT

I CANNOT STAND THIS TEAM

I think I could just bump my "Bulls fall apart against Nets" thread from last week and no one will know the difference.

Big possesion here

Again, Nocioni makes too crucial of mistakes late in the game

This literally makes me sick, just let Gordon handle the ball

Gordon needs to be freaking handling the ball right now.

Hinrich comes up, deflates the ball by dribbling then bricks a jumper. I am sorry but this team is better with Hinrich on the bench...yep...I went there. (At least for the time being)

There is no freaking ball movement when he's playing point.

Nocioni=the cooler

And yet, Hinrich has a double-double with 10 assists today.

He just needs to stop shooting the 3's when he's ice cold. Defer a little sonny boy, defer.

we have to be being punk'd right now

Khryapa with one of the dumber plays you will see this year, what an idiot

So the Bulls let the clock tick down from 51.2 to 27.4, and then they commit the foul?

And yet he is shooting under 35% from the floor.

I understand he racks up assists but that still does not give justice to how poor the ball movement is right now.

This aughta be damned interesting

Please for God's sake do not let Hinrich take the next shot...

Draw up a 2 point shot for Kirk, Skiles.

I dont see why they dont take the chance on the three right there.


You must be physcic

By the way, Kidd with another triple-double tonight.

HAHAHHA HINRICH YOU MOTHER freaking BUM

Told ya.

He is hurting this freaking team right now, VERY BADLY.

Besides the fact that he ended up shooting a 2 pointer anyway.

GO HOME KIRK

Unbelievable. This is probaby knee-jerk but something needs to be done in the form of a trade or a coaching change.

We've been outcoached a lot lately.

I now have no problem packaging Kirk for a star. Deng, Gordon, Noc stay, Kirk is now the movable one.

How does Ben Gordon get so few shot attempts in the 2nd half? What a joke.

Kirk has been sucking balls of late, but no way I trade him. He's nowhere near as bad as he's been playing.

If you had to move one of the "Big 4" who would you move?

Nocioni. I wish we could move Ben's ass as well. He's barely worth half of what he's getting paid.

I wouldn't mind moving Noc but I would assume he is probably a tier below in the yes of other teams.

They will most likely demand one of Little Ben, Lu, and Kirk. Kirk is the weakest link there.

The last 5 mins of the game became the Hinrich dribble fest. How many times do we have to watch him turn the ball over, over dribble, take bad shots and not pass???
He is the point guard...He's not the go to guy-not even close! He needs to set up gordon, deng or Noch...not dribble for 18 seconds, then take a bad shot.

I also blame Skiles bc he should either set the play up and demand that Kirk pass the ball or he should pull him out of the game in favor of Duhon.

It's getting to the point where I think the team is better without hinrich on the floor...especially in clutch situations...Kirk tends to be more of a liability than a help.



No way I move Noch. Kirk is expendable. duhon can step in easily to the starting PG role. I think the team is run more efficiently when he is in there.

A Kirk Hinirch with some other throw in's could land us a big name low post threat.

If they trade Gordon now theyre gonnalose games by 20 points every night. Theres nobody else on the team that can consistently score. Anybody else is ok though. Deng probably has a decent value right now.

Excuse me while I barf. Duhon belongs on the bench.

Hinrich has stepped it up the last 2 games. It's not his fault the rest of the team stand stands behind the arc and is stagnant.



Agreed 100% on Noc.


We just re-signed him, he won't be going anywhere. He's had a rough patch and now you want to trade him? You're overreacting big time. Kirk had 19 points and 10 assists tonight. He had a poor shooting night but he's one of the only guys on the Bulls who can get to the line.


You can't be serious. Again, Noc is the most expandable of the Big 4. Duhon is not ready to be a full-time point guard in the NBA. No way in hell anyone can complain about Hinrich's play lately in favor of Duhon. Duhon has looked like crap for a while now.


Agreed for the most part. Ben is our only real scorer. You get rid of him, you get rid of a lot of offense and energy. Only way I trade Ben is if he is the main player dealt on our side and a big name low post scorer comes in return.

wow...Duhon is a solid PG who would not dribble the ball in circles for the last 6 mins of the game then take a bad shot or turn it over. he understands what a pass is.

Right, Kirk doesn't know how to pass. It's not like he had 10 assists tonight or anything. 4 points tonight for Duhon, 0-3 from the FT line. Solid.

Last 4 games for Duhon, 9 points total, 4-19 shooting, 1-12 from 3pt. Scorching.

You do realize that Duhon has played just as bad, if not worse, than Hinrich has lately? Check out some of these awful shooting performances: 2/9, 1/7, 0/9, 1/4, 0/3, 1/6, 2/6. That's his last seven games.

And you guys need to realize why Hinrich dribbles it so much in the 4th quarter. The offense becomes so stagnant waitign for something to happen that there is no movement off the ball. What else can he do when everyone is standing still being closely guarded?

SHOCKING LOSS tonight.

Hahaha.

hahahaha

You disagree?
