A farewell video in honor of VDN

[From the FanShots. There is really no excuse not to give Tyrus heavy minutes when he returns. I know the Taj-ers were strong in the beginning of the year, but even independent of him there should be time opened up simply by how old and poor Brad Miller has looked this season. Plus the added benefit of hopefully maybe actually increasing his trade value. -ed.]

Notice the quote from VDN

"He gives us more athleticism in the front court," Del Negro said. "He blocks shots and gets us out on the break. He was our starting power forward all last year pretty much, and the start of this year. Hopefully, we'll get him in shape and get him out there."

I feel like we've heard this a million times before. He has those Tyrus answers pretty much memorized.

Vinny, we know what he brings to the team.

NOW PLAY HIM!

Can't see how beating the depleted Dubs gets Vinny out of trouble. Not because of the Bulls' history of firing coaches in December, but because the last four losses include three blowouts and a home L to the Nets.

Bulls management committed to staying with Del Negro thru tough time, and OT victory stops bleeding. His job is solid for now.

So what does James like about Wall's game?

"His speed with the ball. He's like [Chicago guard] Derrick Rose," James said. "Derrick is much stronger than he is, but he has some of the same athleticism that Derrick has.

So he's kinda saying Rose is slightly better.

And he's still gushing over Rose.

Advantage : Bulls

No coach ever has survived losing like this.
I assume it would be an interim from the staff if they make a change.

Sam Smith replies to my email

Do you see ANY signs of this continuing? Is it safe to say that Vinny
is as good as gone?

And if he does get canned, what are the chances they hire someone
before the season end instead of the Summer

You know, so the next coach has a feel for the team by then and any
FA's they're after know what's up with the Bulls

He looks like he just wants to say, "We gave up on Vinny"
