Mavs' Dirk gets Hard

The Bulls were outplayed and overmatched by the Dallas Mavericks last night. Mavs forward Dirk Nowitzki had a game high 29 Points to go along with 10 rebounds as the Mavericks took care of the Bulls 102-94. On a side note Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes were 11-26 from the field and they both played eh, okay at best. Gooden had a nice forth quarter. Although I did vote "Love it" on the http://www.bullsweekly.com/ poll for the Cavs-Bulls-Sonics trade and I still do. I thought the point of the trade was to develope Tyrus and Noah. Tyrus (28min) and Noah (18min) played 24 minutes less then the Hughes(32min) and Gooden (38min) combo and Tyrus and Noah took 14 less shots. If we are going to lose, lets do it developing Tyrus and Noah, not these average selfish NBA players. I also don't like how Gooden and Hughes just come in and get mad run. Don't get me wrong I like both these players, but they've done nothing to earn "Bulls" playing time over Noce, Noah, Tyrus, and Thabo who have been playing their heart out all year. Stop handing these new guys playing time and make them earn it like everyone else.

Gooden Spunks on Yao

Drew Gooden Dunks on Yao Ming

Drew Gooden has this monster dunk on Yao Ming, in his Bulls Debute. Stacy King said that Gooden "Bearded" Yao on this play, and I may have to agree. I hope he doesn't have crabs in that beard...

Bulls Gain Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes in Trade

The Chicago Bulls made a great multi-player three team deal with the Cleveland Cavs and Seattle Supersonics before todays trading deadline... The Bulls traded away Busted Ben Wallace and the overachieving Average Joe Smith, who had become a Chicago Bulls fan favorite...for the still somewhat young Cleveland talent of Drew Gooden. Gooden will provide the decent post up threat, that the Bulls had been looking for. The Bulls also gained the very athletic services of Larry Hughes (22-6-5 in 04-05). Let me tell you how excited I am to see the Kansas connection of Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden once again. Bullsweekly.com was also the first blog to release this trade information... good work team. This trade looks like a BIG win for the Bulls, who couldn't have had much plans in the future for the aging services of Ben Wallace and Joe Smith. Ben Wallace, Wally Szczberbiak, and Joe Smith will now join the leagues most dominant player Lebron James. While Ira Newble and Adrian Griffin head to Seattle.

John Paxson is so damn sneaky

Can we get Larry Brown now?
