I dont know about everyone else, but I am really proud of how the Bulls have been playing lately they have been in every game hung in there against elite teams, and even beat some of them. The Griz have been playing excellent bball since the Czar started coaching them a win agains them is a big win imo. Chandler was one point away from yet naother double double 9 points 10 rebounds proving he deserves to stay and get another contract with the team. Curry wasnt to bad either 20 points only down side to Curry's game is he only had 5 rebounds he rebounds hoorible for a man his size. That is what gets me down on him. Also shot under 50% 8-18 from the floor that is good for like a gaurd, but not center imho he should shoot over 50% every game not bad though if he took one less shot he would have been at 50%. Tyson shot 3-8 from the field didnt take as many shots, but he was 3-4 form the line which is good. Gordon had 15 points this game. Deng played horrible 9 points 3-8 shooting form the floor. He can play bad a few game sthough I mean he is a rookie Gordon ahs been great lately hopefully he keeps it up.
We've played great lately. Hopefully, we can string a few winning streaks together and make it around .500. Ben Gordon and Tyson Chandler's recent upsurgence seemed to have started it all. Seems Curry's doing great as well. The way we've been playing lately (from what I've seen, I've missed a few recent games) looks better than how we've been playing in many years.
I hope we don't trade Eddy Curry. We are playing much better now, and trading him (or anyone) will upset the chemistry this team is improving. The sad thing is that Curry and Chandler are the longest serving Bulls players, but I believe if we keep this team together for 2 - 3 years we will improve to more then 30 wins and should make a playoff run

If he gets traded, it'll be a sign and trade deal during the offseason most likely. Speaking of him, he has been playing good lately. As has Tyson Chandler and Ben Gordon. If they can continue to play well, I believe the Bulls can make a playoff push. However, they've had consistency problems this year and in the past, so they need to rid themselves of those and string some wins together and make a push for around .450-.500 by All Star Break. Plus, they are in the (L)Easter conference, and you're never really out of it in the East, considering that so many teams make the playoffs at sub-.500 over there.
I just watched the Bulls - Mavs game on tape... The Bulls got robbed in this game by the refs... first they gave Hinrich a two when it clearly was a three... then they called goaltending which it clearly wasn't... and then on the final play they gave it out of bounds to the Mavs when it surely was touched by Howard last... Bulls got robbed...
The good thing is we are only 4 games out of the 8th seed in the playoffs, and we are playing much better. Though I dont get to see the Bulls on TV often in Australia (once in the past 3 years) the Philly game last week was on and I couldnt believe we beat the Kings the next day after watching that game, so i can see the consistency problems.
