So okay, the dilemma facing the bulls right now is the impending free agency of Benjamin Gordon. BG had another big game in a big win against the Bucks, to push the Bulls in the eight spot of the conference. Are we going to sign him or not? I have to admit, I am a fan of BG, since the first time i heard his name. First ever rookie sixth man, 15ppg of the bench, game winners, spectacular sniping from downtown, scoring machine, who would not love this guy? He was one of the catalysts that brought back Chicago into respectability.

The biggest consideration, I think John Paxson is going to to think of, is what is Ben going to contribute on winning. Here is a guy who is a proven scorer, although not gifted in height, and a bit liabilty on defense, he can just flat out score. The question is, are you going to win more games with him, or not? Small backcourt partnerships are generally accepted if you are winning. Joe Dumars and Isiah Thomas of Detroit, Eric Snow and Allen Iverson in the hay days of Philly. A player is repected if his team is winning. Who was Jason Terry before Dallas? or have you ever noticed that Atlanta was in the League before last year? Nobody gives a damn if you are losing. Eddie Jordan, Sam Mitchell, Scott Skiles are respected coaches, but once they started losing, nobody gave a damn if they brought their respective teams into consecutive playoff appearances. WINNING IN THE NBA, IS IMMORTALITY.

The baby bulls of 05-07 gained the respect of the whole Nba, because they were winning, and in hope to getting back on track, Pax must face a decision, whether or not he will re-sign Ben. I have the confidence that whatever Pax chooses to do, it is for the best of this team, and whats best is WINNING.  

Well i must admit, i anticipated a loss against the Bobcatz.

This team is coached by VDN. Nuff said.

Note: Maybe=Loss.

Post is updated.

As i looked at the remaining 27 games of the bulls, i think at best we could be 18 and 9. Meeting multiple times with Charlotte, Toronto, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, and Washington, will only help us on our, hopefully Surge to the Playoffs. It would hopefully mean 43 wins for us. And possibly a 1st round Matchup against Boston or Cleveland or Orlando.  

VDN is not there. The bulls are better of without a coach. How about tim thomassing vdn and slide him in the inactive list. Seriously, if you ever heard him on the "sounds of the game" or read his quotes, all he can say is run run run, good job, i dont care if you miss as long as it's a good shot, i'll take it all day. Fuck, we got a cheerleader there, we don't have a coach. Has he even tought the players moves, or plays that they can run in specific situations, NO!!! He has pick and roll all day, that's why we are somewhat of predictable. He doesnt know what he is doing out there, he is a coach that just looks like a coach. He is just clueless, and his geriatric assistants could care less. Fuck them. Bet Samuel L. Jackson is even better than VDN.
