Is watching Rose worth the rest of the fecal matter they put on the floor?

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Good game tonight - came down to the fact that the Bulls moved the ball to get the open shot rather than the guards trying to create without passing and shot lights out after that. I think the team passed the 30 assist mark tonight. Rose with a ho hum 15 and 8. 6 in double figures.

I actually commented on Kerr tonight to the Mrs. He looked like death warmed over. Funk didn't have the best of nights either. One particular Washington possession comes to mind where Songalia took an 18 footer from the L and Funk called it a 3 and then asked Stacey 'they called that a 2?'

As for the Bulls, these are the teams they are supposed to beat. Would like to see this consistency more. Also, the next time I see Gooden take that fallaway from 15+ feet, I want to strangle him.

I chuckled at the small Ben Gordon doing that. That was pretty funny. That dude on Washington who started at the center was quick as hell at blocking shots early. McGee I think it was. He had 3 blocks in the first 2 minutes including 2 on Rose. I didn't see much of him after that.

The simple fact was he had no clue on the offensive end. He set some poor screens and really looked out of it on offense. When Songalia and Blache came in, you could tell the offense was running smoother.

The newest Riles mults?

What does Gooden give the Bulls that Elton Brand didnt?

Super cool facial hair?

A power forward with bad shot selection?

The Brand chapter is often forgotten cuz people just remember how terrible they were back then. I remember going to that shitty bar above S.I.A. (upstairs lounge at the time) the night Brand got traded for Chandler. Everyone thought it was soooo crazy. Everyone was right. That trade might be the most non sensical (not 1 logical reason) deal ever.

Logic: Ok Jerry so we can get this kid Curry and Elton can mentor him. Show him how to jump, play d, and not have a car fail the emission tests when your a millionaire.

Sloth: But have you seen this Chandeleir guy? He's Long!!!!

Logic: Jerry we used the #1 overall on a pf...and hes very good. Why do we need another one?

Sloth: What if Elton was nt around anymore?

Logic: Not around anymore what do you mean Jerry your starting to...(shot, shot, shot)

Sloth(holding a gun): Shut up. I didnt need you when I won 6 titles and I dont need you know.

If you remember back to that time, the real reason they traded Brand was that Falk was positioning Brand to leave via free agency. Krause took a good offer but just selected the wrong pair with those picks. To think they could have had any of the following players: J Rich, Pau Gasol, Joe Johnson, R Jeff, Tony Parker, Gilbert Arenas makes it feel worse. Considering they took Marcus Fizer with the 4th pick the year before, picking two more post players didn't make much sense.

So you trade your best player because his agent (much like all agents) wants him to test free agency?

Players becoming free agents is one of the major reasons why trades happen. You'd rather get something now rather than nothing in a few months.

It's also why Ben Gordon won't be a Bull at the end of the year.

But were the Bulls in the position to get nothing? Was Brands deal up that year I dont think it was.

I don't remember the specifics at the time, but I thought Falk was pushing for Brand to not sign the 4th year extension or something of the like. Krause took a gamble that Chandler/Curry would be able to fill in for Brand and that they would be better long term.

Speaking to this point, has anyone helped their trade value more recently than Ben Gordon? He's playing combo 1/2, averaging almost 4 APG which is above his lifetime average, shooting slightly above his average and getting over 20 a game. Someone will want him up for a playoff approach.

There will be a team out there that believes they can make him a starter. They'll be wrong but that's good for the Bulls.

Yep, either a starter or a Manu type player that gets 35 mins off the bench.

He can be a shitty starter

So can most of the Bulls.
