Wow, what a game right now. All I can say though, missed free throws are kicking us in the you know what. 16/25 is a big ouch for the Bulls from the line, and if they lose, they can look back at that and put partial blame on it. Hopefully however, they won't lose and won't have to address that as a reason for losing, simply a reason for not winning by more.
Final score: 111-106 Nets This isn't too bad of a lost. Everyone gave in a good effort. They came back when they were almost down by almost 30 points! Definitly proved me wrong about them. I can't wait for the rest of the season when we have Curry & Antonio Davis back. If we can just adjust our roster a lil bit, no doubt we could sneak into the playoffs. Hinrich improved a lot in the offseason and Noch proved he could be a valuable contributor. Rematch: Tuesday, December 28
itll be just as bad wehn they caome back, because the other guys will depend on them for support so guys like harrington wont polay like this all the time...but it looks like deng and nocioni will be solid players regardless of whos playing and whos not...good game in a way, chandler still sucks...but hopefully itll get better with davis and curry, you know davis wont give in, trhis guy is a great player, strong, solid D, gets off rebs, curry needs to avg 18/10 a game...
I guess this is one of those, say, "moral victories". The Bulls, in this loss, proved they could play. All the new players, the youth, really stepped up and put em in this game. Nocioni made big shots in the game, Hinrich was amazing, Deng was great. However, if they're going to win, Chandler needs to step up and Ben Gordon needs to play like the player we think he is. Shooting 0/whatever is not a good statline for the night. I realize he's a rookie, but he needs to play like the NBA ready rookie Chicago thought he was when they got him. But, nonetheless, this was, despite losing, a great game for Chicago. They showed, in my opinion, what they can do when they're not even at full strength. Now, think of it when Curry comes back. In my opinion, right now, this team is on the verge of being good. They have the talent, it's just a matter of putting the pieces in place.

Rematch: Tuesday, December 28 </div> Chicago is on the right track but, there is no way Chicago is making the playoffs this year. Although they made a good run at the end, let's not forget who they were playing...the Nets. Even with Davis and Curry it still makes little difference. The Pistons, Heat, Pacers, Knicks, 76ers, Celtics, Bucks, Raptors, Cavaliers, and Magic all have better squads than Chicago. Maybe next year.
i think they will make the playoffs with the guys they have, guys who really want to play and play hard.
Chicago is not better than any of the teams that I just listed. They have no experience just talented. They won't make the playoffs.
