What has gotten into the Bulls?

[Jimcs50]

First they beat the Lakers, then the Cavs and Wolves, now they are up on Dallas by 10 in the 4th. Dirk is blowing bigtime so far.

11 of Dirks 17 pts have come at the line.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well Hinrich rounded out his shooting for the night with the last miss (5-15 for the night). Ben Gordon's been on fire, why don't you get him the ball?

[Rick Von Braun]

Curry is brainless... Up by one with less 18 seconds to go, Bulls ball, the shot, Gordon misses, Chandler gets the offensive rebound but couldn't finish, the ball bounces toward Curry and he cannot catch the ball. Finley gets the rebound, and he had no better idea than to foul Finley... he didn't get the rebound and he fouled... that was the stupidiest play I've seen in a loooong time.

Do you rememeber that his agent was looking for a MAX contract? Are you kidding me!!!! He has the body, but he needs lots of work.

[smeagol]

I saw the play RVB and it was a really stupid one. The bulls had this game and choked. My boy Nocioni had a decent game coming off the bench (12 pts, 6-8 from th field and 4 rebounds in 21 min).

[boutons]

Nocioni is still finding his sea legs, but he's coming along pretty well in his first weeks in NBA, as is Deflino. Says a lot about the quality of Argentinian and int'l bball. These guys are for real.

From what little I've seen/heard, I don't doubt that a low-block, grind-it-out player like 6'9"/230 Luuis Scola could come join the Spurs and immediately be nearly as effective as a "Malik with better hands and better touch around the basket". :)

Exactly, boutons, you're the man.

Luis will be fine.
Nocioni will improve his offensive decisions i hope.
Delfino is doing great, surprised with the minutes larry is givin him.
Delfino is only 22, hes gonna be good.

If memory serves, I picked Scott Skiles for coach of the year in the prediction thread.

Skiles is the Bulls' coach, right? (I don't know jack about basketball)
