Ouch... that is unbelievable. Granted Ben only played 19 minutes in the ball game, but you would still expect him to have a decent game. He put up blanks across the board... just unbelievable.
On another note: Iverson went for 46 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds. That's unbelievable. But about Big Ben, that's like 580 some odd games they said he has gone in a row with getting at least 1 rebound. He snapped it tonight. Unbelievably terrible. Chicago: 3-9 now? Ouch...
He did have 1 assist. :dribble: One thing I don't get is, why did he only play 19 minutes. I thought maybe because of foul trouble, but from looking at the box score, all he had was two.
If you watched bulls games its like Wallace doesn't care. He doesn't jump for every rebound. He just doesn't play like he did with the pistons. Yeah he said he hasnt found his rold yet.... But its like hes not trying.. Did wallace Just take the money and now doesn't care????????????????????????

Guys, it happens sometimes - that's all there really is to say.Don't forget, he is getting older.
I told you guys Chicago was overrated and that Ben's leaving Detroit wouldn't be as big as the media made it out to be...

Like Scott Skiles said, it is unfair to place all the blame on Ben Wallace... he is just one man. Yes, he played poorly tonight, but people shouldn't expect him to come in and take this team to the next level. The guys who have been there the past few years (Hinrich, Deng, Gordon, etc.) should be the ones carrying this team until the new players get acclimated to their style of play.I think a lot of the players on the Bulls (especially their young perimeter players) expected Wallace to come in and immediately take them to the next level. They are playing a little more relaxed defense on the perimeter because they feel like Wallace should be erasing all their mistakes, when that isn't the case. Every man needs to take responsibility of their defensive assignment, and realize that this will only allow Ben to become a bigger force defensively.
