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.

LeBron Compares Wall To Rose

LeBron Compares Wall To Rose

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.

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"

Weren't they reluctant to include him in a trade with us this off season?

Tyrus To Be Traded For Al Harrington?

Tyrus To Be Traded For Al Harrington?

[From the FanShots. And so it begins. Tough for me to get to upset with this trade idea, because as with Ben Gordon, if the Bulls know they aren't going to re-sign Thomas, at least be proactive. But it does just further emphasize how much the Org. detests talent. Just hates it. So given that they can now further pump up the untalented Taj Gibson in Thomas' absence, it's all not that surprising.

What this rumor also indicates is that the idea of building Tyrus' value for a trade deadline package (w/expirings) for a star were indeed a pipe dream. He has no value. Yay Bulls development. -ed]

Several sources believe the Bulls are agreeable to a package of Thomas and Jerome James for Knicks forward Al Harrington

I know sometimes I'm a bit biased, but really?

Let's just look at some of the current players that they name better than Rose.

Shaq, Manu, Kidd and McGrady?
