Ralph Furley Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 This is a fun team to watch. They do all the little things and scrap like crazy. It was grteat to see them beat Toronto last night and clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 i have probably watched 70% of their games this year, all of the games in the last month. Basketball is my first and primary love. the bulls are just amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Messiahs Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Too bad they won't get past Miami! They had there best year since the Jordan era! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 they should be around for a while, too. ben gordon is a f'n assassin, and good young players all over the court. are they gonna re-sign curry and chandler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 (edited) They seem to be a nice reflection of their coach. Skiles was as scrappy as they come during his playing days. Note: I think he may still hold the NBA record for assists in a game (something like 31 or 32) Edited April 10, 2005 by Puddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Very happy for that team. As a KU fan it is nice to see Hinrich have such an impact on that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please remember to vacate the area after playing Miami or Detroit. 773018[/snapback] Maybe against Miami, but the Bulls have played the Pistons tough this year. I believe they have beat them a few times this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Little Bit Special Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Great job by Skiles. Correct me if I'm wrong, but other than adding Gordon isn't this basically the same personnel as last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Great job by Skiles. Correct me if I'm wrong, but other than adding Gordon isn't this basically the same personnel as last year? 773442[/snapback] They also added Luol Deng out of Duke. I haven't had the chances to follow the Bulls this year as much as last since I didn't get the NBA package this year. Regarding Chandler and Curry, I had heard a few trade rumors earlier in the season about Chandler, not sure if they will still look to make a move prior to the draft or not or if thy will hang on to him. Now if the Warriors could manage to keep all of their players heading into next season and maintain the way they are playing right now I will be a very happy person.

Big Country Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 too bad they spent all their cap money on adonal foyle and derek fisher 773577[/snapback] Yeah, the Fisher signing looks real bad now that htye added Baron Davis. With Foyle (I forget the actualt cap numbers offhand), they at least have a guy that is a very consistent shot blocker and defensive presence, but not much offensively. But, on the plus side, they have Rishardson and Murphy locked up long term, Fisher provides great depth at either guard position, Pietrus is coming on and will likely flourish for a different team now that his rookie contract is about up and I have a feeling Dunleavy will be traded this offseason. I figure they either deal Dunleavy and picks for a serviceable center and draft small forward this year, or they move picks and players to move up and go after a legit center in the draft. Biedrins is just too far away from being reliable enough to depend on in the middle. Oh well... I've lasted 12 years without playoffs... but they are coming.....

Azazello1313 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 richardson is awesome, and b. davis is when he's healthy and playing hard. pietrus is turning into a nice player. it'll be interesting to see if they can make a run at the playoffs next year. they're gonna get their asses handed to them tonight, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis has really helped tem a lot... something like 14-8 since he arrived I believe was the stat I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 for the bulls they also added A. Davis, Chris Duhon, and Andres Nocioni (sp?). Davis and Duhon are starters and Nocioni is a spot starter. So the roster has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miner Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 everything Paxson (GM) has said indicates they will re-sign both of them. they're both restricted free agents so the Bulls have the opportunity to match any offers they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 the bulls lost last night in OT. a mental breakdown by Davis and a not needed pass by Gordan screwed them over as they were leading by 6 with 2 remaining. you can still see the immaturity within the team.

Ralph Furley Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 I'd like to send an apology now to all Wizard fans for your early departure from the first round of the playoffs. You can start making your tee times now Wizards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispirons Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 its nice to see the bulls doing well. i don't keep up with basketball much but this is a pleasant surprise. all the so called eggspurts are on the wizard bandwagon in this series. mostly due to the injuries. i think the bulls have a good chance of advancing though. time to check the series price at the sportsbook.....lol.

Big Country Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 As a warriors fan, part of me is pulling for the Wizards to see what could have been (Arenas, Hughes and Jamison all ex-Warriors), but the Bulls have an amazing nucleus of young players, but I fear their lack of playoff experience will hurt them. Should be a good series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
