Argh...You know man, I really understand what you are saying. Not to be rude to Cav's fans but, people talk about the Bulls without Gordon the way I picture the Cav's without LeBron. I find it disgusting to listen to. It's just not true.

Rose might be in a bit of a funk right now, but I can't picture him developing as well in the long-run if Gordon chose to remain a Bull. To my mind, Ben did both the Bulls and himself a favor, even though his intention was just to serve himself.

I don't even want to imagine what this team would be like with Pargo taking ALL of Kirk's minutes right now when Rose is sitting. I don't enjoy the idea of Rose rushing himself to get back to full minutes and possibly making an injury worse either. I also know that the NBA season is a marathon and Derrick will have fresher legs than most PG's towards the end of the season due to the two PG attack.

I would also argue that Kirk is still improving as he now enters his prime. I believe he has learned to play better at a faster tempo due to Del Negro/Rose.

I have my favorites but I like this TEAM.

Beating Cleveland is one thing. Beating Cleveland when they're at home is another. Great, great win today.

BOBCATS ARE NEXT!

Rose stepped up in the 4th quarter... Good game by everyone except Pargo.

Im sad that nobody is giving credit to my favorite coach


My cousin Vinny, Great job Vinny, the defense is really improving, I pray to God that it will continue.

True, Vinny is making a nice job. I hope he sticks around a while longer, see how he develops.

Vinny is looking like a keeper. I want to give it more time before I'm supporting re-signing him to a longer deal, but he's on the right path. If the Bulls let him walk after his contract is up or fire him for some odd reason, I guarantee Del Negro will be able to get a head coaching job elsewhere.

So far the team is looking good but Im still hoping that the Bulls FO would hire an experienced assistant. In the NBAtv preview, Fratello pointed out that losing Del Harris can be a huge factor for the Bulls cause. You can always use experience in the bench along with a young creative mind ofcourse. Fratello said the Bulls can go as high as 6th but as low as 12th bec. of their vulnerability due to lack of experience IMO.
