Okay. So the Bulls have gotten three or four buckets in a row going down low, and so Hinrich jacks it up with a quick shot? You have to know where to go in that situation.
Bulls have to put some points on the board. They're not playing that bad, but still down 13. They have to close this to 6-8 before the half.
This is downright depressing. I really think Pax should think about firing Skiles at this point. You can't fire the players. Maybe a new coach might bring some new insight into potential trades (e.g. "get rid of player X, I don't want him").

Looking at Gordon, one could say he's "Built Tough," just like on those Ford commercials.
You have to start wondering if Aaron Gray could swing a Gasol deal. Like Nocioni, Noah, and Gray as the principles. Like before they wouldn't take the Noah/Nocioni combination, but Gray sweetens the deal enough to get it done, or something like that.

I don't think that ends well. Besides Memphis has been traumatized by Jake Tsakalidis.
No, this team is not going to turn around as-is. Like I said, you can't fire the players. If you think we're underachieving, then it's time to change the coach. Gotta love what Gray does for us, in spite of his lack of athleticism. He makes up for it with his bulk, inside game, and particularly his passing.

Strangely (since he's rarely given one), I've come to the conclusion lately that Kirk plays better with a short leash. He got benched a bit and started to snap out of his funk. They get a little bit secure and he starts slipping right back. Maybe they need to put his feet to the fire.
Can't paste in the box score from Yahoo.... Bulls outrebounded <span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">THIRTY </span>to <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%">THIRTEEN </span>
