''But I realize that this is the pros. We have to stick together and play hard and show the fans that we're putting it on the line. -- <font color="#000000">Chicago Sun-Times</font></p> </p> </p> [*]Asked if the Bulls' high expectations were forcing players to talk among themselves about the 0-3 start, Noah took off. </p> "Of course," he said. "But I think the expectations we should have are the expectations we have and not the expectations others have, because they don't really know what goes on. They don't know the hard work.</p> </p> "I wouldn't say that people thought we didn't play hard against Philadelphia [in the home opener Friday]. We might not have played well, but we played hard as a team. And for some of the fans to go and talk about Kobe, like screaming Kobe, I mean, we practice hard every day for this team." -- <font color="#000000">Chicago Tribune</font></p> </p> [*]Chicago fans know what they want, kid. They've been patient for much too long, and now, they want to win more than one postseason series in the springtime. If the Bulls keep losing, you can be sure they'll keep chanting Kobe's name until John Paxson and Scott Skiles, under pressure like never before, satisfy their wishes. -- <font color="#000000">Chicago Sun-Times</font> [*] </p> [*]The Bulls should have a new player available tonight when they try again for their first win of the season, this time against the Los Angeles Clippers (2-0) at the United Center. Rookie Joakim Noah, who has been out with a sprained right ankle, practiced Monday and is expected to make his official NBA debut. The 6-foot-11 Noah was the Bulls' leading rebounder in the preseason. -- <font color="#000000">Arlington Heights Daily Herald</font></p></div> </div>
That's pretty funny that the fans are shouting Kobe's name. I wonder if they'd be happy watching throw up shots while his teammates stand there open.</p>

They work like this:</p> <sarcasm> <font color="#339966">We're 1 and 4, we don't need no stinkin Kobe!</font> </sarcasm></p>

Unfortunately, this is as close as we're gonna get to Kobe...</p> The Kirk trade</p> </p> The Gordon trade</p> </p> The Tyrus trade</p> </p> and of course we're waaaay too late for the KG trade</p> </p> So now that we can't get Kobe and we can't exceed the LT who does Pax pick up?</p> Well he's known to like undersized cheap guys.</p> Therefore, the logical choice is -</p> </p> </p>
He's a free agent and will come cheap. If he plays in Europe for a little while he'll be on the Bulls' radar.</p>
