    Hmm..is it just me or is anybody else getting a little sick of jamal crawford's shot selection. Don't get me wrong jamal is my favorite bulls' player, but sometimes it just seems to be like a game of horse w/ crawford chucking 3's up and losing everytime. It's great when he makes it, but most of the time he doesn't. Jamal tried to force it way too much against philly at the end of the game, some crappy shots. Jamal should stop shooting if he's having a bad shooting night, unless he's open, not force it up. Crawford shoots much better when he recieves a pass and has an open looks, instead of running the whole court and having a guy open under the basket, but instead shoots the 3...

    No wonder skiles benches jc, but i wish he didn't, jamal has a lot of potentional. Jamal, when will you learn??

    I'm getting sick of it. Jamal is a streak shooter, he either shoots really well when he's on fire, or he shoots really poorly.... never really in between. Well I guess in yesterday's game against the Sixers, he was pretty good, but in the 4th quarter he was horrible. He forced a lot of shots when he could've easily passed it to Hinrich who was open. I think he cost them this game because he took most of the last shots in the last half of the fourth and missed all of them.

    I don't liek how Skiles benches people though. When the Bulls are winning, then he changes the players... like the players he cahnges arent even in foul trouble or anything. I noticed he did this a lot with E Rob, now E rob isn't even playing. hmmm i dunno.

    no, i don't want nayone new to be on the bulls. its weird... although the bulls aren't winning or anything liek that... it's like i have some kind of personal connection with them. The bulls also have this history of trading peopel too and then their traded player gets really good.

    The problem with the Bulls is that they have way too much talent and not half as much chemistry to back it up.

    i don't think its that, i think the bulls are still just too young, maybe we can look forward to next season, or the season after that. I don't think the bulls will keep crawford even thought I WANT them to keep jc, he has too much talent, just has to learn to pass when he has absolutely no shot (what the hell goes through his mind sometimes) and not to fire up 3s every time

    haha... yeah, I don't know what JC is thinking at times also. I sure don't want to see him go. I like the Bulls for their street cred, and now their starting to lose it. First with jalen Rose, then with Crawford. Ho no, as Ludacris says...

    Now we're stuck with non basketball looking guys like Shirley and hinrich.i was watching the news around the time the Bulls acquired Shirley and they interviewed Fizer about him... and Fizer said something like, ' He (Shirley) doesn't look like he can play basketball, sorta like Hinrich.' haha, funny stuff.

    I'm joking. I think the only problem with the Bulls is that they don't focus at times and they fall asleep late in the game.

    Do you think they'll repeat that same mistake tonight vs the Sixers again, where they lead for almost hte entire game and then lose it when its crunch time....?

    I don't think they will. I mean I hope it won't happen. The only games the Bulls are sure to win nowadays are agianst the Raptors.

    The Bulls seemed to have chemistry vs The Cavs the other night. Yet Crawford was really quiet that game. Instead of hoisting 3 balls mabey he should call some screens to get some open 15 footers. That would help alot more then depending on a 3 pt shot.

    mydi well the bulls lost to the sixers even without iverson i guess it was kind of a close game, let's look forward to a good draft pick..again..

    infante you're right crawford should take open 3's he can drain the 3, but instead he dribbles takes like a couple of seconds off the clock and takes an unbalanced shot, yet if he comes off a screen and gets better looks he's deadly..

    Yeah, it's completely understandable now. The Sixers are known to be a fourth quarter team and they did prove it the past two games. Well, I'm actually watchign the detroit game right now, and it's completely pathetic. The Bulls looks like a CBA/ NBDL team. It's funny and painful at the same time. Oh yeha, Curry isn't playing... i guess he really is an important member to this team. No playing time by E-Rob yet again.

    i saw like 5 minutes of the pistons game, it was pretty horrible. I like chandler over curry though, chandlers' injury earlier this season slowed tyson down a bit. When these guys grow up a bit more, chandler and curry would be a sick frontcourt with hinrich and crawford (?) handling the backcourt duties and michael jordan returns again at the age of 46, then again at 68, and one last hurrah at 82 (jk)...
