It's going to suck being their first victory, if they haven't beaten someone by then. Or maybe the Nets will be just what we need to end a losing streak or to get a 2nd win in a row.
You guys CANNOT lose to the Nets. I want to see them break the record for worst record ever. Not that I hate the Nets, it'd just be amazing that a team can do that badly. 1-81!
Upside: Um... they weren't blown out. Who am I kidding. Downside: They just lost to the Nets. At home.
Home court was probably worth 5-7 points on the point spread. Upside: we found a team we can score 100 against. Downside: we just lost to the Nets. At home. In our house. The house that reinsdorf built.
You guys always want to dwell on the negative. How about Rose taking over, how about scoring 100.... Just kidding, they suck. They lose by 30 tomorrow night. They lose by 30 to the Warriors. But they only lose by 20 to the C's because the C's aren't that interested.
I thought Deng lost the bulls the game. Sure his stats look nice but i thought his defense was terrible and he slowed down the offense. I could understand why he didn't double on harris on his final shot so not gonna blame him for that. Big ups for Rose and Gibson. James Johnson needs to go to the D-League...
http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chi...al/2009/06/bulls-select-james-johnson-16.html Bulls select James Johnson #16 Doug Thonus on 06.25.09 The Chicago Bulls selected James Johnson with the 16th pick of the draft. Johnson has been the man I've hoped the Bulls would take since I began scouting players for the draft ranking 9th overall on my personal draft board. Johnson excels at taking players off the dribble. He has the weight and bulk to bang with guys, but he has the ball handling of a guard. He's physical, doesn't settle for shots, and attacks the basket relentlessly. The largest downside to Johnson is probably that he's 22 years old which is very old for a sophomore and fairly old for a draft prospect overall. However, if Johnson develops a jumper he will be a deadly player. He has some of the better upside in the draft in my opinion as well as being able to contribute immediately. The upside of Johnson could be that he's a matchup nightmare who can take PFs off the dribble and overpower SFs. The downside is that he could be a tweener who doesn't find a niche. Given how frequently and successfully the Bulls went small last year, Johnson could be deadly in a running small lineup in the NBA where he can handle the ball at the four. I couldn't be happier with the selection though. Best value and best player on the board in my opinion.
“We love James’ versatility,” general manager Gar Forman said. “He can play small forward. He can play power forward. He can play inside. He can play outside. “At his size (6 feet 7 3/4 inches and 257 pounds), he can rebound the ball, put it on the floor and push it in transition. He can penetrate. He’s a very good passer for a big guy. He can make plays for himself and his teammates off the dribble. Nevertheless, both Forman and coach Vinny Del Negro called Johnson a top “five to seven” talent in the draft. “James has a lot of skill,” Del Negro said. “For a big guy, he has a feel for the game and can do a little of everything.
