Bulls report: Getting inside

As the first team to play against the Los Angeles Lakers' full lineup this season, the Bulls didn't hold up very well.

They trailed by double digits the entire second half and didn't seem to have enough height to counter the Lakers' tall front line of Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom. The Lakers became just the second team in 11 games to score 100 points against the Bulls' defense. Boston was the other in an Oct. 30 blowout.

So the Bulls dropped to 1-1 on their challenging circus road trip and now move on to play the other Western Conference final team of last season, the Denver Nuggets.

The good news for the Bulls is they get a day off before facing Denver on Saturday, while the Nuggets will be in Los Angeles playing the Clippers on Friday.

This is a replay of the somewhat infamous "replay" game. Last week at the United Center, the Bulls suffered a disappointing one-point loss to Denver when Brad Miller's apparent game-winning jumper was waved off after referees spent about 10 minutes watching the replay.

Despite the loss, the Bulls did hold the Nuggets to just 90 points, about 16 less than their average. They also did a pretty good job against high-scoring forward Carmelo Anthony, who hit 8 of 22 shots for 20 points.

Maybe it's a good sign that guard Derrick Rose lived up to his promise to be more aggressive offensively. He attacked the basket throughout the game against the Lakers but missed 13 of his first 15 shots. He hit his stride in the second half by knocking down seven shots in a row.

LAKERS 108, BULLS 93: Forward Pau Gasol's successful return to the court turned out to be trouble for the Bulls. Playing for the first time all season after recovering from a hamstring injury, Gasol produced 24 points and 13 rebounds as the Los Angeles Lakers rolled to an easy win Thursday at the Staples Center. Bulls guard John Salmons scored all 18 of his points in the first half to keep the game close for a while, but the Bulls fell behind by 11 at halftime and never made a run in the second half. After a rough start, guard Derrick Rose hit his final seven shots of the game to finish with 20 points.

Here is the Official Chi-Town Bulls Guess the Stat, Get the Props Game. I worked with ChiTown1 and we figured out the best way to run things. Here is how the game works. You pick who will have the most points, rebounds, assist, steals, blocks, and turnovers. You can only pick players that are on the Bulls squad though. Don't ...(more)

their defense is great now that BG is gone, sure Rose is in a slump but Salmons is coming back on. Deng is solid and Jaokim Noah is now the best player on the team, man does he look good. Since the Bears stink I am really looking forward to more Bulls!

Here's an article I wrote Tuesday on why John Salmons is the key to the Bulls this season, and look, he drops 23 in a blowout win against the Kings.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for the support.

While it's only been 8 games so far, and with a 4-4 record, (3-1 at home and 1-3 on the road) the team has had it's good times and down times so far in the early part of 09/10.  I've really liked what I've seen with our defense this season.  We are a much better defensive squad than we were a year ago, however, it must be said that our offense is much worse than it was a year ago.&n ...(more)

Here is the Chi-Town Bulls Pick for the Props Game. Im making this new thread because we've added a part da game where on the days that the Bulls play you pick the winners for the games on that day besides the winner in the Bulls game. Why not the bulls game? cause i would think that all Bulls fans would pick their team to win. aigh ...(more)

Maybe I'm crazy but these Bulls although tough and great on D seem to lack a scoring punch, if Deng, Salmons or Rose get cold then they have trouble outscoring the other team. maybe at this stage in his career Iverson can come cheap and still score. He won't be too upset on this team which is way better than Memphis and he would have more m ...(more)

Ok so it is obvious that this team needs a go to guy...or at least someone to help carry the load on offence. Salmons has been ice cold thus far and the way I see it needs to be comming off the bench to be at his best. So this leaves us with a void at the SG spot. I have come up with a few ideas and you guys can tell me if they are even remotely possible.

(POLL)

We all wont a big FA to come to the Bulls next year and i think theres a huge chance it will happen.  But as we all no we need to clear at least one contract to have the cap. So the question stands should it be Kirk, Deng, or Salmons. I really wont to keep Kirk the most and most wont to lose the overpaid Deng.  But i also belie ...(more)

Unfortunately seven straight losses is a very real possibility. Looking at the schedule for the next 7, 2-5 would be alright, 3-4 would be phenomenal.

(POLL) Should the Bulls sign A.I to a one year contract and trade TT and Hinrich or Salmons. This would provide a scorer, and decent defender.

It's that time again the circus road trip.  6 game west coast (for the most part) swing.  Woohoo, time to go 0-6 baby! It's going to be awesome.

But on a serious note hopefully the Bulls can break even when it's all over which is possible (Sac, Utah, Mil).  And then beat downs by Denver, Portland, an
