Well, yet again, the Bulls lose a game. The final score: Jazz 92 and Bulls 80. I'm not sure that the Bulls have the will or talent to compete with these types of teams. The Jazz had some nice stand out players. Matt Harpring had 15 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Played well. The point guard, Arroyo, had probably the most all around game. He had 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists. Just what a PG is supposed to do. Stevenson was very impressive tonight. He basicly couldn?t miss, going 9-11 from the field and scoring 18 points. Absolutley discusting. Kirilenko in my opinion, was most impressive. He had 26 points and 16 rebounds! What was really a akward thing to see from a Bulls fans standpoint, was scoring all those points on just 13 shots. Well, though not many, I will talk about some Bulls bright spots. Jerome Williams impressed me again, getting another double double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. However, I wasn?t impressed with his defense on Kirilenko. Kendall Gill had 13 points, but went 3-11 from the field. Antonio did not have a good game. Although he?s been averaging over 10 rebounds a game for the Bulls, he did not show up tonight. He only grabbed 2 rebounds, which is quite sad. Not to mention he shot a miserable 3-10 from the field. Hinrich had a good game tonight. He had 11 points and 6 assists. However, he did have 4 turnovers, which I wasn?t happy to see. But he is still just a rookie. He did shoot good from the field, 5-12. Jamal Crawford had a decent game with 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in only 26 minutes, which brings me to my next topic? After about 2 minutes into the game, Jamal Crawford was pulled by coach Scott Skiles. Jamal wasn?t playing particularly well, and was punished. ``I told guys my patience was wearing just a little bit thin on the lack of execution and knowing our handful of simple plays,'' Skiles said. ``We blew a couple early and I called a timeout. We did not execute again, and I started taking guys out.'' I personally like that in a coach. What I really like, which I didn?t see with Cartwright, is respect. Afterwards, Jamal said that he wasn?t angered with what Skiles did, but that Skiles was just trying to win. If that was Cartwright, I honestly believe, he would have said something totally different. This is the impact Skiles is making. Maturing players possibly. Overall, tonight was not a good night for Bulls fans. We aren?t winning games, and keep getting injuries. Hopefully, we can go on a run and win some games. Where do you think this team is headed? And, do you like what Skiles did? Also, anything you would like to talk about in the game. Prophecy.
Do you think they will still make the playoffs? I know a lot of people picked them to in the preseason. Injuries have slowed them greatly.
That's a good review but Arroyo had 14 points, assists and 1 rebound, not 8. He had 8 turnovers, which is probably what you mistaked for rebounds.
