Chicago Bulls 1st Game Breakdown
The Bulls came out with a starting line up of: Derrick Rose, Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, Tyrus Thomas, and Drew Gooden.
First off, before I get into any details, I would like to speak on Larry Hughes. Here are some of his comments:
"I came in ready to go, and I've been on the second team from Day One," Hughes said. "Maybe that's how [coach Vinny Del Negro] sees it. I'm not sure. I haven't talked to him about it because it's camp. And camp is usually pretty fluid. I don't know what the reasoning is behind it. We'll have to see if this is how it's going to be, I guess. You never know."
I think the reason why he got teardrops tatted on his face is because it's stands for how big of a crybaby he is. Larry Hughes needs to be shipped out of Chicago. He made me sick last night. Taking bad shots, dribbling out the clock, the usual Larry Hughes stuff.
Back to more Bulls.
Derrick Rose played like any rookie point guard would in his first game. He had a lot of turnovers, but most of those were not his fault. If Tyrus would of caught that alley-oop I would of crapped my pants. That would of probably brought the crowd alive. Other than that I saw some flashes of brilliance from Rose, and so far so good.
Grade: C
Kirk Hinrich looked like a journeyman out there. He really didn't do a good job of asserting himself at the 2. He passed up shots, etc. It might take a while for Hinrich to get back into the flow of being a 2 guard.
Grade: C-
Luol Deng came on late in the 2nd half of the game. In the beginning he looked like an average joe. He looked like he didn't care. He has 71 million reasons to care. If I were Lu, I would command the ball more. He didn't do that.
Grade: C
Quick Note: Brandan Bass killed the entire Chicago Bulls on that dunk.
Tyrus Thomas has worked on his game in the offseason a lot. If he can get that jumper to hit consistently, watch out.
Grade: B-
Drew Gooden held his own against a bigger Dampier. It's going to be more of the same from Drew 12ppg 10rpb.
Grade: B
Andres Nocioni needs to do 2 things; 1)Cut his hair, 2) Play like he does for Argentina.
Larry Hughes (see above)
Aaron Gray aka "sheep herder" needs to play more. He's got some low post game. Hate if you want. Also looks like someone put a bowl on his head, and cut around it.
Thabo Sefolosha looked more like a Chevy Thabo rather than a ball player last night.
Joakim Noah showing off his fright fest look.
Vinny Del Negro looked lost sometimes, but no matter how nervous he was his hair was never nervous.

Derrick Rose the Man Child
Derrick Rose is going to be an NBA Superstar, it is just a matter of time. The year after the Bulls drafted J-Will the NBA removed the "hand checking" rule. J-Will never had a chance to play in the NBA with this rule change. This Bulls Weekly reporter is a big believer that it would have amped up his game big time because of J-Will's athleticism and strength.
Jack Ramsey GM Steve Kerrs take on the no hand check rule...
"If you are athletic and can put the ball on the floor, the rules benefit you," Ramsay says. "It's that simple, and no one takes more advantage of that than Kobe."
Kerr says the elimination of the hand check has been a boon to scoring, especially to players such as Bryant. Since defenders aren't allowed to impede his progress with the hand check, opponents have often found themselves at his mercy this season.
Derrick rose is the perfect storm of athleticism and strength for this rule. We've seen the damage that quick players CP3, Nash, T-Parker have had going to the cup over the past 4 years.
With Derrick Rose you have that type of quickness... but much better hops, strength, and explosiveness. There is no one and will be no one in the NBA that can stop Derrick Rose once he gets his bearings. Rose will be a match-up nightmare... way to big and strong for the quick NBA point guards and too quick and explosive for NBA shooting guards and small forwards. Success in the NBA is all about taking advantage of mismatches and the Bulls can do this on every play. Rose will be able to drive and dish or drive and finish all day in the NBA. With outside shooters that can knock down jumpers (Gordon, Deng, Noc, Kirk) and big guys that can catch lobs (Tyrus, Noah). There will be no "good" way to defend this freakishly athletic point guard.
DON'T BELIEVE ME??? TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TRAILER FOR NBA 2K9... I THINK THEY FEEL THE SAME WAY!

Bulls Ben Gordon Accepts Qualifying Offer
It's about time. Ben Gordon was reportedly offered 6 years 59million. Are you kidding me? According to rumorpress.net,
Gordon will be with the team for at least one more season as he has verbally agreed to take the 1 year qualifying offer worth 6.4 million. Gordon turned down a 6 year 59 million dollar offer and will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. The 6 foot 3 Guard could make it official as early as Tuesday.
I wonder how many more shots he is going to chuck up this season. The back court is crowded and you know as soon as he gets in the game he is gonna be all AI on everyone.

2008 Chicago Bulls Media Day
Well, another NBA season is among us, and there are many questions involving the Chicago Bulls.
What the f*ck is wrong with Ben Gordon?
2 words, hard headed.
Is the podcast coming back?
Yes, the podcast is coming back. The 1st podcast of the season is still not scheduled.
How's Drew Gooden's beard looking?
Word out of the Berto Center is that his beard is mopping the floors.
Did Noce cut his hair?
I hope so.
Does Del Negro use Mousse or hair spray?
Mousse. You cannot achieve a flawless shine like that with hair spray.
According to ESPN,
Luol Deng, Great Britain: The Chicago Bulls forward was, by far, the most dominant force in Group D.
After only two days of practice with the squad, he dropped 30 points as the Brits came within 0.5 seconds of upsetting Israel in Tel Aviv. His numbers of 24.2 points, 5.8 boards, 3.8 assists and 1.6 blocks a game reflected his value to the team.
With first place assured, Deng missed Saturday's final game in Bosnia-Herzegovina with a toe injury. But new Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro need not fear, the Brits were merely making sure their most valuable asset returned to his regular job without any serious problems.

F*Ck The Chicago Media
This summer may be the worst summer ever in terms of coverage of the Chicago Bulls. In past summers I had the delight of reading about how the Bulls are individually getting ready for the season, etc. This season on every major Chicago paper, they post something every other month. It's like pulling teeth for them to write about the Bulls. If the Bulls were a favorite in the East, then the papers would be flooded with Chicago Bulls nonsense. On a brighter note Mariotti got fired. Ben Gordon, get him the hell out of here. YOU ARE NOT WORTH $12 MILLIONS DOLLARS!!! Your worth 5-9 million. You greedy bastard.

Missing Bulls Weekly Blogger
If anyone has any information about the where-abouts of Bulls Weekly reporter Rob Malinowski please email us at findmoRobb@BullsWeekly.com he has been missing from Bulls Weekly for Months now... and to be quite frank... the Bulls Weekly Staff is worried. The site obviously needs to be updated and no one else on the staff knows how to do it. If you could just find him and have him put up a new poll question, it would be a great help.
We are offering a half full bottle of potato vodka as the reward...
Note: he isnt as fat as he looks in this picture.
Thank you for your concern and help,

Ben Gordon Signs with Sacramento
In a surprising fashion, Ben Gordon has signed with Sacramento. No no no... not the Kings but the Monarchs. Gordon, who previously played for the Chicago Bulls could not come to a contract agreement with the Bulls or any other NBA team that "he felt" paid him for what he was worth. Gordon decieded to join the WNBA's Monarchs instead of signing a smaller NBA contract. When asked about this surprise move Gordon responded "I feel like the WNBA will be more open to my bitching and complaining, I think this is where I belong"
Ben I think you will fit right in....
