No Chance In Hell

There is no chance in hell that the Chicago Bulls will make the playoffs this year. How sad. The Bulls take on the Atlanta Hawks tonight, and we've been saying that every game is a must win, but we need to stop because the Bulls' players don't care if it's a must win. The Bulls are going to come out like a bunch of pu**ies tonight and play like a 3rd grade recreational team. I bet you can get 5 players from any junior college around the Chicagoland area that can play better than the Bulls are playing right now. At the beginning of the season I was looking forward to the 2008 playoffs, but now I have to look forward to see the Rocky Mountain Revue.

Shoutouts:

Kirk Hinrich: Thanks for being a p*ssy. Thanks for missing all of your shots and not being mentally tough.

Ben Gordon: Thanks for being selfish because you want to get paid. By the way you WILL NOT get max money. Thanks for dribbling off your foot when there is 4 seconds left in the game.

Luol Deng: Thanks for being soft.

Drew Gooden: Thanks for replacing Ben Wallace.

Joakim Noah: Thanks for being the only one hustling this season, and actually cared.

Thabo Sefolosha: Thanks for starting to show that your legit.

Chris Duhon: Thanks for getting crunk and keeping it real.

Aaron Gray: Thanks for being a big white guy that's worthless.

Andres Nocioni: Thanks for being Noce.

Tyrus Thomas: Thanks for not living up to the hype.

Larry Hughes: Thanks for taking bad shots. Thanks for loving strippers.

Skiles A Knick?

There are rumors going around that Donnie Walsh, who will join the Knicks will have Skiles on top of the coaching candidates. According to Newsday.com


"A person with knowledge of Walsh's thinking said former Bulls coach Scott Skiles would be high on the list of coaches he might consider. Mark Jackson is a consideration, but don't be surprised if current Knicks assistant Herb Williams gets a long look. Williams and Walsh have remained close since their days with the Pacers. "Donnie certainly has got a lot of feelings for Herb," the person said."


That means Skiles would be reunited with Curry and Crawford, and I'm sure they would be thrilled about that because none of them would play. Stephon Marbury would also be riding the pine. I would love to see Skiles coach the Knicks, because it might bring something back to the Bulls Vs. Knicks rivalry.

Bulls Move One Step Closer By Beating Hawks

The Bulls moved one step closer to the Hawks for the 8th spot in the East. The Bulls defeated the Hawks 103-94. The Bulls were led by Drew Gooden, who had his best game as a Bull with 31 points and 16 rebounds. The Hawks made a comeback in the 4th quarter cutting the lead to 3, but Hinrich hit a key shot, and the Bulls never looked back. The Chicago Bulls face off with the 76ers tomorrow, and try to continue to gain some ground in the playoff race. The Bulls are currently 2 games back.

Dear Paxson: Get Gilbert

Dear John Paxson,

Get Gilbert Arenas. Gilbert Arenas is expected to opt out of his contract this summer to get max money. I know he is coming off of knee surgery this year, but he is an all-star player that the Bulls haven't had since 98. Gilbert will give you 28ppg and 5apg. He also loves taking the final shot and usually makes it. He has that kill that no one on the Bulls has. He doesn't shy away from taking that clutch shot. Washington will most likely want a sign and trade, so take Hughes and Gordon and trade them for Arenas. Now you have Kirk Hinrich, Gilbert Arenas, Luol Deng(If Signed), Drew Gooden, Joakim Noah. That's a squad. You would have Nocioni and Tyrus Thomas coming off the bench to provide that spark. I've seen so many ideas for the Bulls next year, but I really think this one has a legitimate chance of happening, depending on John Paxson's mood. I also don't see Boylan in the Bulls future plans, and it looks like Carlisle is the front runner for the job. So John, think about this deal and get the Bulls back to being a contender.

Sincerely,

Bulls Weekly

Noce Is Sorry

After Andres Nocioni got gangster on Jim Boylan, he apologized.

According to K.C. Johnson's blog:

Andres Nocioni and Jim Boylan literally kissed and made up Monday, with the Bulls' interim coach hamming it up for the TV cameras and kissing the forward he fined on the head as Nocioni addressed the media.

The Bulls fined Nocioni an undisclosed amount on Monday for berating Boylan after he got pulled from a short stint in Saturday's home loss to the Pacers. Nocioni apologized without taking questions Saturday night but sat for a lengthy interview session on Monday and reiterated his regret for his uncharacteristic team-destructive outburst.

"I'm frustrated with myself right now and I'm frustrated with everything," Nocioni said. "When something's not going the right direction, you want it go the right direction and it's difficult. I think I'm not playing my minutes because I'm not playing well.

When I go to the game, I'm not bringing my energy and I'm not playing like the way I used to play. I don't know why. I don't have any explanation for it."

(ChicagoSports.com)

I also heard some rumors that Rick Carlisle is the front runner for the Head Coaching job next year. His style is like Skiles, but he is more quiet than Skiles. Stay Tuned...

March Madness On Demand

If you want to scout any potential Bulls Draft Picks, here is the link for

MARCH MADNESS ON DEMAND

Playoffs????????

Don't look now, but the Bulls are only 1.5 games out of the final playoff spot. Most people already have their Cubs and Sox gear out, but the Bulls have a legit shot at making the playoffs. In a season filled with disapointment.... that had experts picking them to win the East and with the possibilities of a trade for the best player on the planet that almost happened... the Bulls still might make the playoffs...

You know what I hope they do... because for atleast 4 nights... all the bullshit won't matter anymore... It'll just be the Bulls vs Boston win or go home.... the Bulls have one more game tonight vs the Spurs, and they are done playing the Western Conference for the SEASON!!!!! thank god... The Bulls final 15 games will be against the Eastern Conference.... 9 of them are at home... they finish the season like this....

Indiana, Atlanta, @ 76ers, @ Atlanta, Milwaukee, Boston, @ Cavs, Washington, @ Miami, @ Magic, Cavs, Magic, @ Milwaukee, Toronto... Lots of winnable games

10-5 should get them in maybe even 9-6....

Go BULLS

Joakim Noah:Hustlin Hard

Here is the 3rd Video for www.bullsweekly.com. This video is dedicated to Joakim Noah's solid play this season so far.

Scott Skiles To Coach IU?

According to the Chicago Sun Times,

"Indiana University is expected to contact former Bulls coach Scott Skiles when it launches its coaching search, a source said Tuesday.

"If they're smart enough to hire him, they'll win a national championship in one or two years," said Bulls coach Jim Boylan, a former Skiles assistant who succeeded Skiles after he was fired by the Bulls on Dec. 24.

"I can see Scott coaching anywhere. He's a great coach and would do a great job at your local high school, grade school and he'd be a great coach at Indiana."

"He'll relate well to college players, because he needs everybody on the same page to fall into his system,'' Bulls center Joakim Noah said. ''And he could definitely do that on the college level."

Scott Skiles lives in Bloomington, IN, so the move makes sense for Skiles. I would think he would do a good job, because athletes at the college level listen to what their coach says, unlike some people in the NBA.

Bulls Close Out Nets

After 2 straight 4th quarter collapses, the Chicago Bulls came to play tonight. The Bulls were led by Drew Gooden's 19 points and 11 rebounds. Luol Deng had 20 points and 9 rebounds and Larry Hughes chipped in with 16 points and 4 steals. The Bulls played well as a team and passed the ball great. The Chicago Bulls had 30 assists. The Bulls looked like they were going to blow another lead in the 3rd quarter when the Nets went into a zone. The Nets cut the lead down to 9, but Ben Gordon hit a key three, and the Bulls never looked back. Ben Gordon ended up with 17 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds. The Chicago Bulls will play the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Hopefully they can string some wins together to make a playoff run.

Tyrys Thomas is NOT a bust

NBAE/Getty Images

I noticed that a popular opinion on Bulls Weekly right now is that Tyrus Thomas is a bust. Yes, his field goal percentage is down, and there have been questions about his work ethic and attitude. However, his averages in scoring, rebounding and assists are all up, and he still shows flashes of excellence and his explosiveness is undeniable. I know I sound like a broken record, but he is only 21 years old. When he was drafted, everyone pretty much said he was about three years away from contributing seriously. Now he's not even had two full years in the league and he's already being labeled a bust. He's still learning a lot and if he can ever secure a decent midrange J and some handles, I can see him becoming a superstar in the NBA. However, if we're having this discussion again at the end of his third year, I'll agree that he is a bust, and the Bulls should part ways with him. But until then, please have some patience, and don't take out your aggression on a horribly disappointing and borderline disastrous season on one of your best prospects for the future. Wait it out.

Is Thabo The Next Scottie?

I know that Thabo Sefolosha is nowhere near Scottie Pippen, but there are some similarities in their game. Check out www.bullsweekly.com's second created video.

Tyrus Thomas Is A Bust

(Photo by Gary Dineen/NBAE/Getty Images)

It is hard for me to say Tyrus Thomas is a bust, because I was a huge Tyrus fan when he came to the Bulls. I bought both his white and red jersey. After watching him play this season I've come to the conclusion that he is not good. The only thing Tyrus has going for him is his athleticism. Other than that the only skill he has is jumping and dunking. He has a low basketball IQ, and his ignorance will always be a roadblock for him being a great player. People say that his off-season workouts are at a high school level instead of a NBA level. If that's the case, he will NEVER be a superstar or even close to a superstar in this league. He will have your occasional TOP 10 plays, but that's it.

Here is a video of Tyrus that had me raving about him. He reminded me of a more athletic Shawn Marion, but comparisons are like a**holes, everyone's got one.


I could be wrong, and Tyrus could come out next year and be a monster, if it's for the Bulls or another team. In the mean time he needs to get back to his old self, and start trying to play.

No Respect For Jim Boylan

(AP Photo/Pat Semansky)

After watching the Bulls blow two 4th quarter leads in a row, I began to think. I've been watching the players reaction to Boylan ever since Day 1 of the experiment. The players don't respect Boylan at all. If the players had any respect for him they would D up a little bit in the 4th quarter. They were outscored 33 - 13. That is pitiful. Chris Paul got to the basket so easy it made me sick. Players skip practices, miss shoot arounds, and etc. It seems like the players have tuned him out. Jim Boylan never and will never have control of this team. If Paxson brings back Boylan, than John Paxson needs to be fired. The Chicago Bulls players are also to blame. The Bulls players' unprofessionalism is really sad to see. Can anyone tell me why Larry Hughes takes dumb shots, or Ben Gordon always dribbles off his leg with time running out? We need a TRUE point guard on this team because Hinrich is not that. I see a lot of changes this offseason, so strap on your seat belts.

Chris Paul Destroys The Bulls

Photo by Gregory Shamus/NBAE via Getty Images

The Chicago Bulls let another victory slip through their hands Monday night. The Bulls sporting the traditional St. Patrick's Day green jersey, fell 108-97. Chris Paul proved tonight why he's the BEST Point Guard in the NBA. He had 37 points, 13 assists, and 4 rebounds. He made every single Bulls defeneder look silly. He made things look easy out there, and now I know why Tyson Chandler has blossomed. If you even care what the Bulls did, Ben Gordon had 31 points and Drew Gooden once again had a nice game with 23 points and 12 rebounds. I am starting to lose my mind with the Chicago Bulls. I have no more answers. I have dissected it from every angle and still I have nothing. It's time to scout players that we can potentially draft, instead of wasting our time watching these losers.

Bulls Blow It Against The Sixers

Photo by Gary Dineen/NBAE/Getty Images

The Chicago Bulls blew a 18 point lead in the 4th quarter. This game showed me that the Chicago Bulls will not be in the playoffs because they played like a bunch of pansies down the final 8 minutes of the game. Hey Ben Gordon, nice shot to try to tie the game. Hey Boylan, thanks for sitting Noah. Hey Boylan, you suck. Hey Bulls, you suck. The only bright spot of the game was Thabo Sefolosha's game. He had 20 points (8-13FG), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, in only 23 minutes of action. The Chicago Bulls are ________________________________________________________. (FILL IN THE BLANK).

Question: Who is better the Chicago Bulls or the Chicago Sky?

Bulls Weekly's 1st Video

Here is a video I created. It is the Chicago Bulls version of the Michael Jordan commercial "Look Me In My Eyes." There will be more videos to come in the future.

Chicago Bulls: Where Are They Now 4?

Here is Kornel David doing his thing for the Bulls.

And Here Is Kornel David doing his thing overseas.


This week is a treat for Chicago Bulls: Where are they now? This week's feature is the none other than the "Hungarian Jordan" aka Kornel David. Dávid was signed by the Chicago Bulls on October 1, 1997 and waived on October 28. He then spent the next part of the 1997-98 season with the Rockford Lightning in the CBA but was released on December 1997. He later moved back to Hungary, signed for the remainder of the season by Albacomp Székesfehérvár, winning the 1997-98 Hungarian National Championship in the process. He would also spend part of the next season with Albacomp Székesfehérvár.

On 21 January 1999, Dávid was signed as a free agent by Chicago Bulls and was waived on January '00. A few days later, he signed to the first of two consecutive 10-day contracts after which he moved back to Hungary on February signed for the remainder of the season by Albacomp Székesfehérvár. Again Dávid would bring accolades by leading the Albacomp Székesfehérvár to the 2000 Hungarian National Cup. Next, Dávid signed as free agent by Toronto Raptors on August '00 and was then traded to Detroit Pistons on February '01.

Dávid played 109 NBA games, starting 11, averaging 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

He went to Spain for the 2003-04 season, donning jersey number 18 for TAU Cerámica. Dávid played a decisive role in the team's first Final Four appearance. He averaged 10.3 points and 4.2 rebounds in the regular season, but his numbers went up to 14.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in the Top 16, helping Tau to reach the playoffs. When Euroleague.net sat down with Dávid in Vitoria days after the team made it to the Final Four and asked him about his feelings of reaching the big event. "I think it's an unbelievable feeling," Dávid told Euroleague.net. "I am a European player, and as you know, from a small country, Hungary, that is not a big basketball country. To achieve this goal is one of the best moments of my career." He has won the 2004 and 2006 Spanish National Cup (King's Cup) with Tau Cerámica Saski Baskonia Vitoria.

New Bulls Weekly Podcast Is Up

Check out this weeks episode of our podcast. This by far is the best podcast this season.

Shaq Clears The Bench (Video)

I know this has nothing to do with the Bulls, but it has to be seen if you haven't seen it already. On March 9th against the Spurs, Shaq dove for a ball, making him look like Superman. He busted a fans lip. Last night, Shaq was going to dive for the ball, but the entire team cleared out. Probably the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Watch the first video than follow it with the second.

Bulls Weekly Podcast Airing Tonight

Tonight Episode 4 is being recorded at the Bulls Weekly Headquarters. After the long wait Phil aka Otacon will be making his debut on our podcast. We are excited to bring Phil along and he is hoping to bring a different dynamic to the podcast. Stay tuned tonight for the airing.

Thabo Sefolosha Is Legit

Photo by Gary Dineen/NBAE via Getty Images

After attending last nights game against the Jazz, I said to myself "Thabo Can Hoop." Thabo is really blossoming this year after getting increased minutes. Last night was his first game back from a groin injury that kept him out of the lineup for 6 games. Thabo played 13:30 and was 4-5 from the field with 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. His +/- was higher than any Bulls player last night at +17 in only 13 minutes of playing time!

Thabo Sefolosha's length is such an asset because he can distract bigger 2 guards. With that in mind, it looks that Thabo is the future guard of the Bulls. Whether that will be the 1 or the 2 he is going to be in the backcourt picture.

As crazy as this may sound, Thabo reminds me of Scottie Pippen. Yes I know people are sick of the Michael and Scottie comparison, but hear me out. First thing that reminds me of him is Thabo's length. The second thing is that he dribbling style closely resembles Scottie's. Now the things that matter. When Thabo is on a fast break, or is driving to the basket he looks identical to Scottie's style except the hairstyle. He is a "Poor Man's" Scottie right now.

You Make The Comparison, First take a look at Scottie than Thabo.

Rodzilla

Otacon's Double Team post really got my creative juices flowing, along with a few other juices.... The 90's may go down as the greastest era for the NBA of all-time. So many great players participated in this era from the ending of careers like Bird, Isiah, Magic, to the prime of careers of Mike, Malone, Ewing, Miller, Zo, Grandma-ma, Kemp, Shaq, Pippen, The Dream, Barkley, Etc. and to the beginnings with KG, Kobe, etc. the list could go on and on... but the greatest part of this era and what made it great, was the sick rivalries and intensity...

The best rivalry of this era may be Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone.... These two battled it out to the max in the NBA Finals twice, and even in the regular season... believe me there is no love lost between these two monster Power Forwards.... but the climax of this rivalry did NOT take place on the basketball court... no no no... the only way to finish this fued was inbetween the ropes WCW style... no but seriously...

Rodman aka Rodzilla who is part of nWo... team's up with Hulk Hogan to face DDP and Karl Malone tag team style... I'll let the video do the talking from here.... Enjoy...

Bulls Light Up Jazz Like a Blunt

(AP Photo/Jerry Lai)

The Bulls bounced back from a tough road loss to Detroit on Sunday with a solid 108-96 win over Utah Tuesday night at the UC. Drew Gooden put forth his best performance thus far in a Bulls uniform with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. Thabo Sefolosha also chipped in with 11 points and 3 dimes in limited minutes in his first game back from a groin injury. The Bulls are primed to make a solid playoff push now with 7 of their next 9 games against teams with sub .500 records, but will face the streaking 76ers in Chicago on Friday.

Greatest Movie Ever?

The 1995-96 Bulls are arguably one of the greatest teams ever assembled in NBA history. That year the Bulls accomplished a regular season record of 72-10 that has yet to be rivaled. However, not only was this a team of great athletes, this was a team of great movie stars....yes you heard me correct. Michael Jordan made quite possibly one of the greatest movies ever filmed in Space Jam. Yet, what most people do not know or failed to remember was the box office hit from a Bull other than Jordan. In 1997 Hollywood would be forever changed as Dennis Rodman and Jean Claude van Damme teamed up for the classic Double Team.

Van Damme plays the assassin Jack Quinn who was appointed to kill off the dangerous Starvos. However, when he misses his target, he is sent away to the "Colony". From there Quinn is able to escape and seek the help of Yaz (played to perfection by Rodman) who is a weapons dealer. Together, Yaz and Quinn team up to rescue Quinn's wife who was kidnapped by Starvos. If you haven't seen this movie yet please go to the nearest place where video tapes are rented ( I don't think it ever made it to DVD) and rent and/or buy it.

I could be wrong on this, but I am pretty sure that Rodman was nominated for a Golden Globe for best supporting actor on this movie. Don't take my word for it, but I am pretty sure that I am right.

Please take 2 minutes out of your day and enjoy the cinematic masterpiece that is the Double Team trailer


Also, just to give you a taste of what some of the acting is like in this movie, take a look at this classic van Damme clip from Kickboxer

In summary, this movie is awesome, and I certainly hope that the Bulls can turn this season around and make a push for the playoffs. But if they don't, well, then I can always kick back and relax and enjoy a movie that has transformed the art of film....and so should you.

Duhon Benched

Story from Espn.com....

Add another item to the laundry list of issues the disappointing Chicago Bulls have had to face this season.

Duhon
Guard Chris Duhon, who was benched for the Bulls' game against the Detroit Pistons Sunday for missing the team's morning shootaround, was disciplined a second time by general manager John Paxson for making flip comments about the punishment.
It's unclear what action Paxson took Monday, but it's expected Duhon will be benched a second straight game Tuesday when Chicago takes on the Utah Jazz.
"I did meet with Chris," Paxson said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "We obviously talked it out. Obviously when things go badly, they go badly. I'm disappointed in what happened in the last couple of weeks, but ... I've dealt with it the way I feel was right and we'll move on from there."
During Sunday's telecast, it was revealed that Duhon had not received permission to attend Saturday's college basketball game between his alma mater, Duke, and North Carolina. He reportedly slept through the shootaround.
Duhon's response to the benching may have led to the second discipline.
"I don't play anyway, so it doesn't have that much of an effect on me," Duhon said, according to the Sun-Times.
Duhon later was interviewed on WMVP-AM 1000 and said he didn't expect to return to the Bulls next season.
"I probably won't be back," Duhon said, according to the newspaper. "I don't know what the summer has for me."
Duhon is averaging 5.8 points and 4.1 assists.

More Chapu Please

Why doesn't Andres Nocioni get a fair shake, he plays great D... not gimmick bullshit (playing for steals and blocks)... he takes on the challange of gaurding the best player on the other team (Lebron) the other night, and does everything he can... to stay in front of him, move his feet, and contest the shot. He NEVER gambles on the passing lane, which puts the D at a huge disadvantage when you gamble and miss. He gives up his body every chance he gets, takes charges, boxes out, and plays with unmatched intensity (minus Noah).



Jack Ramsey picked Noce to win defensive player of the year in October and he was quoted as saying... "This bulldog loves the challenge ... strong and tough."

Thats just the D...
Did you know Noce is 12th in the Eastern Conf for scoring per 48 minutes at 25.6 points...thats ahead of....
Joe Johnson
Vince Carter
Danny Granger
Ray Allen
Josh Smith
Richard Hamilton
Hedo Turkoglu
Andre Iguodala and so on....
For complete list....
http://www.nba.com/statistics/player/Scoring.jsp?league=00&season=22007&conf=east&position=0&splitType=9&splitScope=PER48&qualified=Y&yearsExp=-1&splitDD=All%20Teams

He's a great team player, he plays better D then everyone on this list.... and he scores better then everyone on this list....... Never complains, never misses practice, always plays hard...

Maybe someone just needs more of a chance???
What would he avg if he played 35 min a game +...

Noce has played 35 min or more 10 times this year....
He averages 21.1 ppg and 5.8 reb in those games.......

Boylan........WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST PLAY... i'm sure this is possible ...
KIRK, BEN, NOCE, DENG, NOAH 35 minutes all in the same game
That still leaves 20+ minutes for Gooden, Larry "Jack-City" Hughes, and Tyrus

WTF Tyrus Thomas.... STFU and Hoop

"I'm just going to go out there, get my check and call it a day. I'm just into the free money. That's it. I'll just do whatever when I get out there."

Recent Missed practice....

The Chicago Tribune cites ....

Tyrus Thomas apologized to his Chicago teammates on Thursday for skipping practice on Wednesday but refused to tell the media what prompted his absence except to say it was for "personal reasons" and not about a lack of playing time. Whatever it was, it seems to have been premeditated -- the Chicago Tribune cites sources that say "Thomas laughingly told two teammates 'see you Thursday' when he left the locker room after Tuesday's victory over Memphis, during which Thomas played just nine foul-plagued minutes."But while those teammates may have known what was up, the front office brass was so completely caught off guard that they actually dispatched police officers to Thomas' house to check up on him when they were unable to track him down

---------------------------------------------------

There's nothing wrong with the TO attitude...... if you produced results that were anything close to TO...

You're one of the top 5 most athletic players in the league and you're shooting .41%?? come on half the shots you make are dunks... get your shit together, hoop out, and put up big time numbers.... then you can act like AI or TO... you jerk off...

Your ppg has gone up this year, but that stat is actually very deceiving... (because of your increase in Minutes)

06-07......... 966 minutes...... 374 points
07-08......... 936 minutes....... 343 points (current of 3-11-08)

your points per minute this year is actually down from your rookie year... ohh yeah and in case you were wondering... your rebounding is down per minute this year too...

Stromile Swifts... sophomore year stats 11.8 ppg 6.3 boards a game in 26.5 minutes a game.. and he shot .480 from the field.... You're not even close to Stromile Swifts development pace.....

How sad and pathetic... I was so excited when the Bulls drafted you... thanks for breaking my heart...you lazy, greedy bust. I really hope you get your act together and get back on track.

Chris Duhon Still Gots It

After his college years, people began to question whether or not Duhon has lost his "magic touch". Here is some evidence showing that he still has it.

(The Get To Know You Shot)

Bring Back the Beef Wennington! NOW!!!

This isn't your ordinary hamburger. It's a hamburger topped with canadian bacon, cheese, barbecue sauce, and diced onions.

This isn't your ordinary hamburger. It was one of the finest fast food hamburgers of its era according to the American Culinary institute.

This isn't your ordianary hamburger. It's a mother fuckin BEEF WENNINGTON!!!

Chris Duhon Is Hoood

Duhon Hugging Someone's Mom (Pay Attention To Detail)(Look At The Table)

Before you read this check out Duhon's shirt. HAHHAHAHHA. Chris Duhon is the newest member of the Hood Squad. First Chris Duhon was in Durham to watch his Blue Devils play, than he missed the morning shootaround the next day. Jim Boylan wasn't even aware that Duhon was there, but then saw him in the crowd on T.V. Strike 1 for Duhon. Duhon later says: "I was back in time; I just didn't get a call," Duhon said Sunday, explaining why he didn't wake up in time for the shootaround after traveling to Detroit from Durham, N.C. (Duhon attended the Duke-North Carolina game on Saturday with former Bull Jay Williams, also a Duke alum.) "I talked to [general manager John Paxson], and he said he understood.

"I haven't been playing a lot anyway." Strike 2. One more strike for Duhon and he probably will be waived. He is not likely to return next season, but for now he can enjoy is stay atop the Hood Squad.

Sports Guy's What IF's (Bulls Related)

Bill Simmons of Espn.com, wrote a What-If article related to the NBA... these two what if's were Chicago Bulls Related and I found them very interesting...

Following is written by Bill Simmons of Espn.com....

14. What if Jason Williams never crashed his motorcycle?
It has been so long, I feel like I have to add this disclaimer: We're talking about the Jason Williams from Duke (who later shortened his name to Jay Williams) -- not Jason "White Chocolate" Williams or Jayson "The Guy Accused of Killing A Chauffeur" Williams. Anyway, not a week goes by without some troublemaking reader sending us a "bad" prediction from my archives to make me feel stupid -- at least, I think that's the goal -- and one of the leading "somethings" comes from 2003, when I predicted Williams (the No. 2 pick in 2003) would be a better pro than Yao Ming (the No. 1 pick).
Well, you know what? I was right. I was DEAD right.
A lightning-quick, physical 6-footer who would have been unstoppable after they changed the hand-check rules in 2004, Williams had his moments as a rookie, including the 26-14-13 he slapped on J-Kidd and the Nets. He would have been a stud. There's no doubt in my mind. But Williams stupidly crashed his motorcycle that summer -- I say "stupidly" because there's no acceptable scenario when a professional athlete with a chance to sign a $70 million contract some day should ever own a motorcycle -- and that was that. How did Jay's injury change what transpired with Chicago over the next five years? Imagine Utah only getting one season out of Deron Williams and you have some idea.
(And while we're here, I wasn't sold on Yao for the same reason I'm not sold on any guy taller than 7-foot-2 -- other than Kareem, there's no track record of super-tall guys being able to stay healthy and effective while playing between 82-100 games per season at the NBA level. Bill Walton, Rik Smits, Shawn Bradley, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Tom Burleson, Gheorghe Muresan ... all of those guys had major problems staying on the court, right? It's not a game designed for freakishly tall guys who weigh 300-plus pounds. That's what worried me about Yao, along with the whole "everyone will be going out of their way to dunk on him" thing and all the requisite cultural adjustments. If Williams hadn't bought that freaking motorcycle, I would have been right on this one. So there.)
13b. What if Kevin McHale had taken Chicago's "Godfather" offer for KG before the 2006 draft?
Here was the offer: Tyson Chandler, Luol Deng and the No. 4 overall pick for Garnett.

Imagine Kevin Garnett, right, in Chicago, Jason Kidd, left, in San Antonio and Paul Pierce in L.A. It all could've happened.Let's say McHale does the deal. And let's say he takes LaMarcus Aldridge with that No. 4 pick. And let's say he takes Brandon Roy at No. 6 and doesn't foolishly swap Roy for Randy Foye (a swap that never made sense, by the way). Suddenly, the T-Wolves have a nucleus of Chandler, Aldridge, Deng and Roy. Wow. And that's not even a stretch. This could have easily happened.
Meanwhile, Chicago would have ended up with Garnett, Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni and the typical flood of discount free agents and February buyout guys who follow a guy like KG, and on top of that Garnett would have ignited Chicago as a basketball city just like he ignited Boston (and potentially pushed the Bulls into the NBA Finals in a weak conference last spring). Instead, they gave away Chandler, turned Aldridge into Ty Thomas and wasted all their cap space on Ben Wallace. So, um ... that kind of sucked.

Dwayne Wade Out For Season

Heat coach Pat Riley announced Monday that fellow Chicagoan, Dwayne Wade, the All-Star guard and 2006 NBA finals MVP who has battled left knee pain throughout the season, will not play in Miami’s final 21 games this year.

It seems that Dwayne Wade had trouble the whole season. He obviously wasn't himself, and maybe this rest will be the solution to this. Wade still plans to play in the Olympics in Beijing.

Pistons Down The Bulls

(AP Photo/Duane Burleson)

Chauncey Billups matched a season high with 34 points, Richard Hamilton scored 23 as the Detroit Pistons beat the Chicago Bulls 116-109 Sunday night.

Tayshaun Prince added 21 points for the Pistons, who ended a five-game losing streak against Chicago and prevented the Bulls from sweeping the season series for the first time since 1995-96.

Ben Gordon led Chicago with 27 points and Luol Deng added 21.

While Chicago kept the game surprisingly close, the Detroit Pistons showed why they are one of the elite teams in the NBA. Chicago played terribly once again in the first half. Why is this team so selfish? Their defense is so terrible it's not even bearable to watch. The Chicago Bulls had a chance to make it into the 8th seed by beating the Pistons, and of course they sh** the bed once again. It makes me sick to watch the Bulls play now a days. The only 2 players that care are Joakim Noah and Andres Nocioni aka Chapu.

Chicago Bulls Rebuilding Plan

This season has been a disaster in many ways. Not only did Ben Wallace get traded, the Bulls are currently the 9th seed in the conference, and were expected by many people to be the favorite in the East. In many ways I think that John Paxson is going to have a semi rebuilding plan.

This is my rebuilding plan. John Paxson needs to cut down the amount of guards we have. Simple as that. Than the final step is to REBUILD the entire coaching staff.

Head Coach: Jim Boylan- Jim Boylan is a good assistant. He should stay that way and never try to be a head coach again. Some people can do it, and he's not one of them. The players seem like they don't respect him at all because of his resume. Boylan needs to either go back to being an assistant coach, or go back to bottling root beer.

Ron Adams: Must be an a**hole to. If Noah got into with him, he got into with him for a reason. He must be a jerk off. He's another prodigy from the Scott Skiles coaching staff.

Pete Myers: Pete is the only one I would keep because he is a players coach. The players seem to get along with him.

THE REPLACEMENTS

Head Coach: Larry Brown. Respected and Accomplished Coach. I know that Jerry Reinsdorf won't shell out the money, but if you want your players to respect the coach you have to get a respectable coach. Larry Brown gives us a chance to reach our goals of winning the East because of his Resume.

Assistant Coach: Scottie Pippen. He has stated some controversial remarks about the Bulls, but he is keeping it real. He would bring some type of leadership and experience to the table.

2nd Assistant: Hakeem Olajuwon. This might sound like the craziest thing ever, but I firmly beleive if he's available and interested, sign him to teach the BIGS how to play BIG. Even this sounds like a stretch to sign him because the Head Coach selects his staff, but I can dream.

Sexy Retarded Girl Wins Bulls Weekly Fan of the Week

After the classless J-Mac article by Kevbo, the Bulls Weekly team decided to make things right. Bulls Weekly recieved over a 100 angry emails over the J-Mac article... so here at Bulls Weekly we have made things right with our loyal fans by nominating this huge Bulls fan and more importantly Retarded child for Bulls Weekly Fan of the Week.

Teren of Gary, Indiana… has been a life-time fan of Chicago Sports, a notable Sox and Bears fan, Teren has decided to expand her horizons and jump on the Bulls Fan-Wagon. Teren struggles with the fast pace and high scoring of NBA basketball, but gives it her best to keep count of the score on her hands and toes. Her favorite player is Joakim Noah. When asked why she liked Joakim Noah so much Teren was quoted as saying... "Becuz he look like me's." Teren also likes picture books, eating baby food, and flash cards. Congrats Teren keep up the Great Cheering!!!

The Master Of Dance Dance Revolution

Remember when Joakim Noah did that awkward dance when the Flordia Gators won the national championship. The truth about the dance has been uncovered. Joakim Noah has mastered Dance Dance Revolution. If you haven't seen the video CLICK HERE. I asked one of the best dance dance revolution players, BigBullyKurt, and he said that Noah's dance moves are close to being at the highest difficulty level. Check out the rare picture of Noah playing the game in his Gators jersey.

Bulls Star Giving His DENG Back to the Community

From Cougars to Teen Boppers, from Latina to White Bitches, Luol Deng see's no color... he just sees Big Tittays, Apple Bottoms, and Pretty Faces... his game on-court might be the poorest it's been in his last 3 seasons in Chicago, but off court... he's on fire. LUOL DENG HEAT CHECK, how much ass do you get Luol? Keepin it on the DL too... I see how you roll

Luol Deng Man From Sudan

Alot of Bulls fans out there are probably still wondering... why Paxson didn't want to include Deng in the Lakers Kobe trade?... I think this video shows why Paxson really wants Deng to stay a life-time Chicago Bull. It's hard to turn down a trade for the best player on the Planet, and in retrospect it seems like a terrible non-move by Paxson, but this shows why Paxson believes in Deng so much...

Boston poops on Bulls

Picture from BubbleGoose.com

The Boston Celtics blew out the Chicago Bulls friday night 116-93. It wasn't much of a game from the start, Boston took a 32-20 lead after 1 quarter. Ben Gordon and Larry Hughes shot a combined 10 of 31. Joakim Noah had a nice effort with 10 and 7 in only 31 minutes of action. Noah also played with good energy early. Tyrus Thomas sat out the second game of his suspension, Luol Deng looked great early but tailed off to a crappy 4 of 12 from the field performance. On top of the terrible shooting from the field for the Bulls(27-85), the Defense was absolute crap. Boston scored 116 points and hardly played their starters in the 2nd half. The Bulls could not even make a run with Boston's 2nd and 3rd strings in the game.

Well, despite 3 100oz beer tubes at Bennigan Sports the Bulls Weekly team had a hard time to find anything to cheer about friday night. After leaving Bennigans, Bulls Weekly decieded it would be best to drink our Bulls sorrows away at the new Rocky and Stella's Bar (Formally known as the Alaskian Pipe Line Gay Bar/Hangout) the Bulls Weekly team is going to stay postive and buckle up for the roller-coaster playoff run the Bulls are making. The Bulls will continue their search for a 3 game win streak in 07-08. The Bulls play at Detriot 8:00PM ET Sunday night, it would be a great win to pick up before they go back to the United Center to play 6 of our next 7 games at home. The Bulls are 1 game back of the New Jersey Nets for the final 8th playoff seed... The Nets upcoming schedule looks very tough... playing at Dallas and Houston, followed by playing Cleveland and Utah at home. New Jersey then heads to the Windy City to take on the Bulls, in a 8th seed showdown. With New Jersey's tough schedule and recent 4 game losing streak, the Bulls playoff shot looks very good... if they can keep Atlanta at bay.

Stay tuned for more...

Tyrus Thomas Learns to Read

During his recent suspension, Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas has discovered a passion beyond basketball: the passion of literature. "I can't believe I didn't do this earlier," said Thomas on Friday. "I mean, I never had this much free time on my hands, what with practicing and having games all the time. But books are really cool. I just finished "'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone', and I'm about to start on 'The Chamber of Secrets.' I just hate that Snape so much!" Thomas went on, wishing he had been literate earlier. "When I was in college, I didn't even know what LSU stood for. Why didn't anyone tell me books were so awesome? Reading rules!" Thomas is undecided whether he will return to the Bulls after his suspension, or complete the Harry Potter series, and eventually move on to The Berenstain Bears.

Bulls Blowout Cavs

Despite a hot shooting night from Lebron the Bulls took down the Cavs 107-96 in Little, I mean Big Ben's return to Chicago. The ironic part of this game, was that in the year and a half that Wallace was in Chicago, he never had a 20 rebound game in a Bulls uniform. Joakim Noah did just that tonight, the Bulls shot terribly in the first half but Noah along with others, kept the Bulls in the game with a strong effort on the glass. Noah finished the game with 13 points and 20 rebounds and he added a nice swat. Noah had 9 boards in the first quarter, and had the 20 rebounds in only 32 minutes of action. The Bulls trailed at halftime, but with a massive 34-16 3rd quarter the BULLS pulled away for good. Ben Gordon and Luol Deng played awesome in the 2nd half, and combined for 46 points in the game. This was a huge Bulls win. They go for their first 3 game win streak of the season tomorrow night in Boston and then they head to Detriot to take down the Pistons on Sunday. If the Bulls could take this game in Boston tomorrow night, it could be the necessary confidence boost they need to make a run for the 8th playoff seed.

GO BULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BullsWeekly Writer Named in Mitchell Report

BullsWeekly.com writer BigBullyKurt was named in the Mitchell Report for using performance-enhancing drugs earlier this week. There were 13 pages written about him with 104 references by his name. He was reportedly using and dealing: Human Growth Hormone, Deca Durabolin, Dianabol, Winstrol, Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Propionate, Testosterone Suspension, Masteron, Anavar, Equipoise, Clomid, and Nolvadex.

"Yeah, I did all that shit. I don't give fuck what anyone thinks or has to say about it," BigBullyKurt told BullsWeekly.com, "I've been doing all that shit since I was 14."

"Mother Fucker, I'm done talking to you. I need to go shoot up then hit the weights."

BullsWeekly.com has suspended BigBullyKurt indefinitely until matters resolve.

Tyrus Thomas Suspended 2 Games

The team announced that the second-year forward has been suspended two games for an unexcused absence from Wednesday's practice. Vice president of basketball operations John Paxson levied the penalty.

Thomas will miss Thursday night's home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Friday's contest against the Celtics in Boston.

Dear Duhon,

Please don't take the players who play out to the club. You got him crunk last night, and now he missed practice. I know you don't play anymore, but can you at least keep the partying with players that play to a minimum. Take Shannon Brown and Cedric Simmons. Shoot why don't you call Viktor Khryapa.

Thanks,

Bulls Weekly

My Video of the Week

Beginning now, I will be posting my Bullsweekly.com video of the week. It can be a video specific to the Bulls or anything from around the NBA world (past or present) that deserves notice. Check back in every week to see what the new video will be. What better way to start the video of the week off with a nasty dunk from Tyrus Thomas.

Chicago Bulls: Where Are They Now 3?

In this video pay close attention to the passer. It's Marco Belinelli from the Warriors.

This feature of "Where are they now?" features Dalibor Bagaric. Jerry Krause was all over this dude's nuts like white on rice. Dalibor Bagarić (born February 7, 1980 in Munich, West Germany) is a professional basketball player from Croatia who formerly played for the NBA's Chicago Bulls from 2000 to 2003 and currently is a player of Fortitudo Bologna from Italy.

An agile 7’1” (216 cm) center, he had averaged 18.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per game for the Croatian team Benston Zagreb before the Bulls selected him with the 24th pick in the 2000 NBA Draft. Unfortunately, Bagarić had great difficulty adjusting to the intensity of the NBA game. He often seemed confused about defensive assignments, and he was hesitant to put up shots on the offensive end. He never averaged more than 3.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, and the arrival of Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler eventually pushed him out of the Bulls’ playing rotation.

He returned to Europe after the Bulls bought out his contract in 2003, and began playing for the Greek club Olympiacos. In 2004 he moved to Italian club Fortitudo Bologna. In the summer of 2006, he transferred to CB Girona of the Spanish ACB league. On September 2007 he returned to Fortitudo Bologna after signing on a one year contract. He refused to join the Croatian national team on Eurobasket 2007 because of a conflict with national coach Jasmin Repeša. Dalibor has been in conflict with Repeša since Summer 2006, when he left the preparation camp on his own hand.

Ahhhh, the days when Jerry Krause scouted basketball players. Where is Jerry Krause?

Historical Chicago Bull #1 Artis Gilmore

Sure the 90's were great, and historically the Bulls will always be known for their Michael Jordan Era. To be a true Chicago Bulls Superfan, you have to respect, honor and learn about your past. Historical Bulls are often over-looked and information on them is hard to come by. BullsWeekly will now be doing historical Chicago Bulls posts to help us and you learn about our history.

The first is non-other then Artis Gilmore... He spent 6 seasons in Chicago 77-82, averaging about 18-23 ppg and avg 10+ rebounds every season with the Chicago Bulls along with 2+ blocks.

-The following is from NBA.com-

"He was an During his long career that spanned 12 seasons in the NBA and five in the American Basketball Association, Gilmore was known as a workhorse, playing 670 consecutive games at one stretch. He barely spoke above a whisper and rarely got in fights or argued with referees. Instead of lashing out verbally, the media-shy Gilmore responded to critics who called him lazy and uninspired by staging comeback after comeback and by remaining a potent force until the end of his career.

Gilmore was an All-Star in 11 of his 17 years as a pro, his last selection coming at age 36. Scoring most of his more than 15,000 NBA points with dunks, finger-rolls and baby hook shots, the lefthanded Gilmore posted a career .599 field-goal percentage, the highest ever in the league."

Johnny Red Kerr Keeps Talking To A Limit

When Comcast does their Chicago Bulls telecast, Tom Dore does the play by play and Stacey King hogs everything else. I noticed this during the Pacers game, and Red Kerr only talked for 1 minute combined for the entire 1st quarter. Stacey King's big mouth keeps Red Kerr from saying some important things like the ones featured in the above video. Check it out.

MJ vs Bird Horse Commercial

The greatest sports commercial of all-time was the Larry Bird vs Michael Jordan McDonalds game of "Horse" commercial, Larry Legend challenges MJ in a game of horse for his McDonalds... This commercial finishes without a result, but our bulls weekly sources have informed us MJ won H-O-R-S-E to H.

Chicago Bulls Shoot Down The Grizzlies

(AP Photo/Jerry Lai)

Drew Gooden and Luol Deng scored 21 points apiece, and the Bulls beat Memphis 112-97 on Tuesday night to extend the Grizzlies' losing streak to nine games.

Drew Gooden had his best game since the Bulls acquired him and Larry Hughes from Cleveland. He was a force inside, hitting 10 of 15 shots, blocking three and grabbing 14 rebounds.

Kirk Hinrich added 19 points, 12 assists and a career-high four blocks, while Andres Nocioni scored 20, and Ben Gordon scored 16 points for Chicago.

Drew Gooden had a couple of nasty dunks, but like usual the United Center sat there in silence. Can we get some enthusiasm please? Larry Hughes didn't play that much and only shot 7 times ending up with 8 points.

Even though the Bulls did shoot well, I am not going to get my hopes up because they did play the Grizzlies.

Some Notes.....
Brian Cardinal played 25 minutes without scoring a single point. Why did Joakim Noah get limited minutes? He grabbed 9 rebounds in 21 minutes. Tyrus Thomas had 4 fouls in 8 minutes. Shannon Brown played 30 seconds and hit a 3. The Bulls take on the Cavs on TNT Thursday.

Andres Nocioni Plays With Only One Shoe

Nocioni lost his shoe against the Wizards last week, and decided to make 3's with one shoe on. Rip pointed out that Aaron Gray loses his shoe a lot, but Nocioni maybe played better with one shoe. I had an interview with Noce and he said: "I try put shoe on, but shoe was stubborn so I just play and I play good. I make 3 pointers."

State of the Chicago Bulls Address

In these desperate times I decieded to give my first annual "State of the Chicago Bulls Address" in the following article... I will outline the 5 largest problems along with my 5 step-proposed solutions...

Problemo Number 1...
Jim Boylan is not an NBA head coach, he never will be. He is a solid assistant and I think would make a solid college coach, but far from an NBA coach. NBA coaches are motivators, Boylans biggest problem is he complains about his play of his players but he doesn't motivate. (Example: Greg Popavich motivates... Popavich talks negative and bitches about his players more then any coach in the nba, but he does it in a way that motivates the players, not discourages and pisses them off) Motivation would be benching Kirk (the only unselfish pg on the team) for the start of the 4th, and then putting him in with 5 minutes to go, pissed off with something to prove, not benching him the entire quarter and pissing him off... (Would Popavich ever bench Tony Parker the entire 4th quarter) When the Bulls released Scott Skiles, and then failed to replace Skiles with an adaquete head coach... they did everything but waive the white flag on this 2007-2008 Season. Boylan is looking at this situation ALL WRONG, Boylan is making lineups... trying to make the playoffs and save his job. If he wanted to save his Job, he would develope Thabo, Tyrus, and Noah into productive NBA starters, not role players. Paxson is a smart GM and he's not afraid to make a bold move. Paxson would keep Boylan around if he developed current talent, but Paxson won't keep Boylan around if the Bulls make the 1st round this year and get smacked in 4-5 games.

Solution 1: Dump Boylan.... Pick up either....
LARRY BROWN no introduction needed or the sleeper and my sexy pick...
Del Harris... it will make sense later

Problemo Number 2....
Develop an Identity...
Either a team style (Uptempo like Golden State, Defensive like Detriot), face of the franchise (Lebron, Kobe, D-Howard, Chris Paul)... winning teams have identities... I've said you can't win without a superstar in the NBA but now I'm thinking that's false... you cannot win without an Identity. Superstars usually make up a teams identity, but they are not an absolute requirement.

Solution number 2:
Grab up a superstar in the off-season (Unlikely), or bring in a coach that will give the team an identity. I think the Bulls really could bring the West Coast style to the East and be successful. What better way to do this then bring Del Harris...
Del Harris is a very sexy choice why??? He has been coaching the Western Conf. Style for the past decade for the Mavericks. Del Harris has been voted as the top assistant coach in the league in the annual General Manager’s poll the past 4 seasons... and finally he is actually known for his Defensive Mindness. So you would be getting an experienced head coach in the Western Conference style, who stresses Defense over Offense. Isn't this what the Bulls are looking for???

Problemo Number 3....
Get rid of the Bad Apples, get the right personel to run the Western Style....
First off you need 8 players that fit the style... (Key to success in the run and gun style is make the extra pass)
Keepers from the roster...
Minutes per game in " "
1. Tyrus Thomas -PF "30 min"
2. Noah -C-PF "30 min"
3. Larry Hughes PG"30 min"
4. Kirk Hinrich PG "35 min"
5. Luol Deng SF "32 min"
6. Antawn Jamison (2008 Free Agent) PF "34 min"
Sign and trade with Wizards (Nocioni, Draft Pick #10, and Release Gordon create cap room)
7. Thabo SG-PG "20 min"
8. Gooden PF-C "25 min"
These minutes per game work with some minutes to spare... The Bulls are the youngest team in the league, they need to play that way... They aren't going to be able to pound it out possession by possession in the half court with anyone, without a Superstar.
The only negative about this is getting rid of Noce, it kills bc I love this guy, but he doesn't fit in an uptempo style. But you have a great defensive team that can score uptempo... You have Defensive stoppers in Thabo Hinrich and Hughes plays scetchy D (tries for steals instead of just playing hard D) but it's still effective... With Noah and Tyrus as athletic players that can play downlow, with Gooden who can bang hard with his big body. The biggest problem with Noce, is that him and Deng can only play the 3... Jamison can play the 3 and 4. Which means he can play the 3 when Deng isn't on the floor and the 4 when he is. This would give Mr. Del Harris lots of options and lineup options. (Noce and Deng can't stay together they just don't fit) A run and gun lineup with Kirk, Gordon, Deng, Jamison, Tyrus??????

Problemo Number 4....
In my opinion this team is very nice, but not an NBA championship team. But it's close. By trimming the roster down into 8 very quality young players and a soon to be expiring huge larry hughes contract. The Bulls are putting themself right in place, to make a huge trade to get the final piece. Put this roster together for 2008-2009, get to the 2nd round with a 48-52 win team... come into 2009-2010 with confidence and hughes's expiring contract. You have that huge contract and then players who have "inflated" stats from the run and gun style to pull the trigger on a attractive big piece. Did i mention that will be the D-Wade opt out year?????? I'm not positive but I am thinking Melo, Bosh, and Lebron could be free agents this year too??
By the way D-Wade plays under Riley... Del Harris coached under Riley... Do you think D-Wade would like the new Bulls system???????? D-Wade is from Chicagoland too

Problemo Number 5...
The United Center fans are fucking weak... It's too corporate in there... We need some ralley towel give aways, cheaper beer, and college night in the UC... Basketball is all confidence and energy. An uptempo style would get the crowd into it, attract younger fans, and give the Bulls the needed energy and crunk atmosphere to be a legit eastern conference threat.
2009-2010 NBA CHAMPION Chicago Bulls

No Playoff Shoes This Year?

Yes Kirk, you might have to leave those in the box.

The Bulls have an unofficial tradition of wearing black shoes (regardless of being home or away) during the playoffs, which dates all the way back to 1989 when they debuted the tradition. It was noted when the Bulls made their first playoff appearance during the 2004-05 season after a six-year hiatus, they went back to the tradition and wore black shoes. They were also the first NBA team to outfit the black socks with black shoes when they made their championship run during the 1996 playoffs. Starting with the 1999 playoffs, this fashion became the norm around the NBA.

I remember when the Bulls made the playoffs in 2004 and they wore the black shoes that was the first thing I noticed. Now that is in jeopardy this year because they may not be in the playoffs.

My Chicago Bulls Promise

(AP Photo/Tony Dejak)

My frustrations of this season have boiled over. I am so pissed about the Bulls season this year that I can't take shi*t no more. I decided to do a competition with the Bulls (kind of a carbon copy of the Gooden). I will NOT shave my beard until the Bulls are OFFICIALLY done with the season. If the Bulls make the playoffs than I will not shave it until they are eliminated. For those of you who don't know me I have red facial hair, so if they make the playoffs we might see a red forest on my face, or I may end up looking like Benny The Bull.

Larry Hughes Cocky?

From the sounds of this interview, Larry Hughes sounded pretty confident that he will be a starter. He was right, he is a starter now, but what does this mean for Gordon? Is Gordon done as a Chicago Bull after this year? My answer is Yes. What about Hinrich's benching? Where are the Bulls headed in the future? Stay tuned for tomorrow's podcast for everyone's insight.

Johnny Red Kerr Disappears

Last week against the Pacers, Johnny Red Kerr disapperead from the telecast. You can hear a loud thump from the microphone. Stacey King started to laugh and say that Red is gone. I wondered where Red went. I actually have found out from my sources that Red had to sh** himself so bad that he couldn't wait for the final 18 seconds of the half to finish. Eye witnesses said that after Red got out of the bathroom he looked and felt like a million bucks.

Bulls Continue Losing Ways

photo from espn.comBulls continue looking for answers?????

After dropping 4 of their last 5 games, and two huge losses over the weekend to Eastern Conference playoff squads, the 2007-2008 season is not looking good for the Chicago Bulls. Although, they still remain in the playoff hunt, time is running out. The Bulls need to put together a winning steak and soon. Over the weekend, the Bulls, who lead late in both games, managed to let them slip out of out reach. On Friday, the Bulls lost to a depleted Wizards roster missing Arenas and Butler and blew a 20 points lead. On Sunday the Bulls lead through 3 quarters, until King James decieded to show up and snatch a victory from the Bulls.

Tyrus and Noah have continued their good play along with Larry Hughes. Ben Gordon remains streaky as hell, and Luol Deng still doesn't look the same coming off his injury. The Bulls have a favorable schedule in late March but they must play .500+ here on out to have any last chance at a playoff run.
