Anyone? Anything? Do they not practice shooting and playing defense? 4 games in, who cares. 30 point losses, doesn't matter how many games they're into the season, that is insane!!
They just aren't ready yet...and their record will only get worse looking at their schedule...They look worse than last season..getting blownout in 3 of their first 4 games..OUCH
this is what you should expect with a young team like the bulls...i still believe that Curry is kinda holding back...he still doesn't realize his full potential...they'll come around don't worry...
Hm... maybe they should look for a new lineup: Pg: Scottie Pippen - Crawford just can't find his shot Sg: Jalen Rose Sf: Donnyel Marshall - The guy plays excellent ball Pf: Chandler C: Curry I actually always tought Williams was better than Jamal...
I think Donyell should be starting at SF I would rather see this PG jamal SG Jalen SF Donyell PF Tyson C Eddy

And that's why I am worried</div> Same here. I don't know what's happening with the Bulls. They've lost their intensity. Tyson Chandler's the only one showing up on a daily basis. I have no idea what's wrong with Eddy Curry. This just doesn't make sense. I never expected their defense to be amazing, but the Bulls never really had problems offensively, and now they're struggling to put 70 points on the board :thumbsdow .
I picked the Bulls to go to the playoffs. I think they will come around and start winning games. I still think they will get the 8th seed
1.Jamal Crawford jumper is really struggling(I put him at #1 because if your point guard cant hit the open jumper it allows the other teams quick player(their point guard)to help out doubling your better players which lead to alot of turnovers. 2. No low post threat you have alot of big men like Curry,Chandler, baxter, etc. both there all young and you cant throw anyone of them in the post and say give me 20pt and double digit. If you mix that with reason #1 your in trouble. 3. Pippen struggling and now he is injured you need him on the court to be your leader even if he doesnt score alot he still bring so much else to a basket ball team especailly is height usally effect the opposing team point from setting up the offense. And his the only player that truly knows how to win. 4. Because of reasons 1,2,3,not working it now put all the pressure on Jalen Rose. Jalen Rose has to be there best perimeter shooter and he also has to be there main post up player (posting up other guards) because he the only player that can demand a double team. And after Pippen he the only player that know what it takes to win games (went to the finals in 2000). Jalen Rose is a excellent ball player but thats way to much of a load for him to carry. Thats a T-Mac type of load and he is just not that type of player. 5. Lack of energy and focus- the bulls lead the game againist the bucks and ended up getting blown. they got blown in the season opener against Wizards. And their home opener. Shows a lack of ready ness to play. If you look at a young team like the Jazz who every body says doesnt have that much talent. But yet they beaten a team thats expected to in the West conference race (T-woles,no garnett but Sam Cassell,and Sprewell both pplayed like all-stars) and they beat a team that makes the playoffs every year in the west (blazers). They won those games because of hustle. The Jazz had a 2 to1 rebounding edge on the wolves. The Jazz make up a lack of talent with hustle and quickness. Thats what the bulls have to do. This could be reason #1
Jamal isn't hitting...except from the arc(55%). I agree with that, but as bad as he's shooting, the "leader" of this team, Jalen Rose is shooting even worse from the field, 30% to Jamal's 35%. So tell me, is it last years leading scorer that is the biggest disappointment or the guy trying to pick upthe slack???
Jalen Rose needs to be a leader, rebounder, assister, defender. He does not need to be a scorer. Get the ball inside to Curry, Curry gets doubled, kick the ball out THEN YOU SHOOT. The Bulls need Jalen to be a guy who can be dangerous from the outside and for teams to worry about so then they have to worry about Eddy inside and jalen outside. Same goes for Crawford....
I think they don't a very good mix of players right now. Secondly, their best 4 man is on the bench, and that is Lonnie Baxter. He is so much more advanced than Tyson Chandler at this point. I agree with a previous post that Jalen needs to step it up.

Crawford was destinied to be a leader,but he even misses open shots... And of course , if Jalen Rose doesn't shoots well, then your entire team is ****** up
