Not much to be bullish about The Chicago Bulls, who hosted the Suns last night, had not won since they bludgeoned the Celtics in the United Center Dec. 17. The losing streak was five going into the Suns game -- and two of the losses were to the Charlotte Bobcats (who are 2-1 against the Bulls but should be 3-0). The ever-prescient Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune has concluded it might be wise to move Sixth Man Award winner Ben Gordon, who has been inconsistent and wondering where he stands. Last season, Gordon had 21 fourth quarters in which he scored 10 or more points and had four games of 30 or more points. This season, the Bulls are one of two teams without a 30-point game from anyone. Orlando is the other.

My take is Chicago has our number - pure and simple. The matchups are hideous every where I look. I saw that home game against the Boston where Gorden torched us in the 4th qtr and that horrible game where they hit like 20 three pointers.

Yeah, it was an ugly game. Perimeter shot after perimeter shot went down for the Bulls. Not only Gordon, but also Luol Deng, Andres Nocioni, and Chris Duhon.

CHI has been losers since the "Jordan Bulls". Krause thought he knew what was up, then the league went to a salary cap, and he drafted loser #1 & 2. Brand for Curry or Chandler? WTF?

Not only that, but he also moves Ron Artest and Brad Miller. That would have been a pretty good frontline.
But I don't blame him for going gaga over Eddie Curry--the guy has the body and the talent. But more and more, its looking like he doesn't have the heart (figuratively and literally speaking). He can still turn it around and make Krause and I look good, but its all up to him.

;D
before we judge chris wallace's drafts (especially 2001) look at what mistakes krause did. he would have had
hinrich, whoever, artest, brand, brad miller lineup
pretty stupid or what?
i know it ain't much of a consolation for us though...

That almost sounds as bad as the #1 pick (JB Carroll) for McHale, and the "chief." ;D

"Want to get your blood boiling?"
Yeah sure. Watch the Celtics versus Hawks game on 1/6/06, as we get outrebounded at the end of the game by Tyronne Lue because we have 4 point guards on the floor practically, no center, and play zone defense in the 4th quarter against a team who has good shooters.
That's how.
