Yeah I saw that yesterday. Getting closer and closer. I still think it will be early March. Can't wait for him to get back...it's tough to watch this Bulls team without him. One day they show up and beat the Heat on the road and the next day they lose to the Bobcats at home :fp:

that bobcats game was aweful. :fp:

seemed like for a few games they were sleep walking, and then in orlando they decided to start playing bulls basketball. when they play bulls basketball, they are a tough team even with out rose. when they play sloppy, they are no better than the bobcats. very frustrating.

nice thing is, tix are cheap. we went to the brooklyn game a few weeks back. picked up tix in 201 row 2, basically siting at the top of the 3pt line for 100 each. yeah, i know, still crazy, but it's always a fun time.

and my all time record when attending a bulls game....10-0

this team is frustrating

as the grobber put it last night, this is the dow jones bulls. they played well in the first half but came out cold in the second. everytime the bulls made a run, dunleavy or jennings popped a 3.

boozer played ok, but rip was the really bad last night- missing point blank range shots.

oh well, we still had fun at the game.

I just took a look at the box score and I was suprised to see that the Bucks "only" blocked 15 shots. I thought Sanders had at least 15 himself.

Another double-double for Boozer... Not sure if Hinrich would have helped at all, but the backcourt had a pretty weak night. It wasn't just Rip (but he was pretty awful).

The coaster ride continues

Nah. Let them roll around in shit for as long as they want. Playoffs without the Lakers would be incredibly refreshing.

On the Bulls, what has gotten into Boozer? At least momentarily I can't talk shit on him anymore, haha. He's stepped up recently.

and I have to say, I love watching this Jimmy Butler kid's game. :corn:

He's putting up good offsensive numbers but his D is still very bad and he averages about 4 turnovers a game. You can still talk shit, i do!

his d has actually improved this year. noah still cleans up alot of crap, but boozer is doing better.

When Rose gets back in the line-up that'll be good news. Having Hinrich as a back-up for Rose would be good depth. Keep Butler at the SG... let the kid improve.

Rip is at a point where he's probably best suited as a role player or sixth man.

Boozer reminds me of Al Jefferson here in Utah in the aspect that the offense is great (with the exception of sometimes being a black hole), but the D could always use some improvement. Nevertheless, with the offense like that... you kind of tolerate (as much as you can) the faulty defense.

Coach Thibs is a defensive coach though, so his entire defensive system should survive well even if one offensive contributor can't pull his weight on the other end.
