<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Now entering his third season in the league, the Bulls' Andres Nocioni’s numbers keep climbing every year. Through Jan. 10, Nocioni is putting up impressive numbers: 15.7 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. He has become a key player for Chicago and coach Scott Skiles' confidence in him seems to be growing. NBA.com spoke to Nocioni about his goals for the remainder of the season, in which he hopes the Bulls will position themselves as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. </div> Source The dudes a great player and is a hard worker. His big goal is to help his team get 50+ wins. At this point in the season, if they continue playing the way they have been, they dont have a shot, if I did my math right. Right now they are 20-17, which is 3rd in a TOUGH Central Division. But, if they get hot like they have been the last 2 years late in the season, they can make a run at it. It would be great to see it happen, and finally get a legit team back in Chicago.
Do not post entire articles, that is copyright infringement. Please downsize your post to before the questions being asked to Noce. Thanks. Chicago has plenty of legit teams to cheer for, but if you just meant for basketball, the Bulls have been doing well the last few seasons now. Also they did not make a run late into the season each of the past two. Their drought ended three years ago after the "circus tour." BTW, don't think I'm slamming you on your post, I'm just helping you out.
yeah its cool and thanks for the info on the copyright stuff i changed it and also what i meant by second half is they start out bad like last year they were 0-9 or somethign like that then they got hot...they start out bad then get better as the season continues

Do you know of this?
yes i do, and once they get started tho, they can defeat some of the better teams in the west as well, but i cant always say that about them when its the beginning of the season.
The last seven seasons they have suffered on the "circus trip." Specifically the season where after the trip they broke out and kept winning.
The starting 0-9 season was in 04-05, when Gordon, Deng, Duhon, and Noc were all rookies. Then got into a nice run at the end and got into the playoffs.

Yeah, we got Deng by the trade with the Suns and our pick that next season wasn't lotto, but not sure who they drafted or if they traded it away. Edit: I checked and it was Jackson Vroman who was the 31st overall pick and a future conditional first-round pick along with cash.
Yeah, Jackson Vroman and a future first rounder for Deng, man oh man what a steal, eh? That was a fantastic draft for the Bulls. One of their best in history.

New York wound up drafting Nate Robinson.
