Bulls report: Getting inside

A season of frustration continued as the Bulls had to play three games without top scorers Ben Gordon (sprained right wrist) and Luol Deng (left Achilles' tendinitis).

They managed to win the first game against Indiana as guard Kirk Hinrich scored a career-high 38 points. But the Bulls scored just 77 points in each of their next two outings against Charlotte and Phoenix.

The Bulls don't have a deep well of scoring talent to begin with. Hinrich came through with 31 points in the loss to the Suns, but forward Andres Nocioni struggled and forward Joe Smith has been in a slump. Smith had fluid drained from his right knee last Friday after the loss to Charlotte.

"I'm not quite sure exactly what I can do," coach Jim Boylan said of the Bulls' lack of scoring punch. "But we're going to go back to the drawing board and see if we can dream up something, see if we can get something done."

The Bulls next play two games against Minnesota on consecutive days, beginning Tuesday at the United Center. The Timberwolves possess the NBA's worst record at 8-35, but have won three of their last four.

SUNS 88, BULLS 77: The Bulls turned in an impressive defensive performance, but it wasn't enough to avoid a Sunday afternoon loss at the United Center.

It was the Suns' second-lowest offensive output this season. Their season-low of 86 points came Jan. 10 at Utah with Steve Nash, Shawn Marion and Grant Hill sidelined. On Sunday, Phoenix was at full strength except for Hill.

The Bulls missed 13 of their first 14 shots, but managed to take a brief lead in the third quarter. They were within 70-66 with 9:40 remaining in the contest, then went scoreless for four minutes while the Suns pulled away with a 12-0 run.

Kirk Hinrich was the Bulls' only offensive star, hitting 12-of-23 for 31 points. Andres Nocioni went 3-for-13 from the field for seven points, while Joe Smith was 2-for-12 for four points. Amare Stoudemire led Phoenix with 24 points.

I know we have seen this thread about a dozen times in the Bulls forum. But this is not about A.I. coming to play but more about what every is saying. I just read this on NBA.com and would like the thoughts of my fellow Bulls fans.

 

Nobody wants A.I.? Here are seven teams that should

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)

(POLL) This is a very touchy subject among nba guru's and it sure will stir up some debate and controversies, however, being the statistical nut that I am, I've done my best to determine the top 200 NBA Players as we speak right now for 2009/2010 NBA Season. (Injured players included). 

My top 10 players in the nba would be: 1.

Brad Miller can't seem to do anything anymore. He misses his wide-open jumpshot all the time now. He's paid to make that shot when's wide open, but he seems to miss is every single time! He seems to get out-rebounded every night too. Players on other teams fight way harder than him for the rebound which whenever he's in the other ...(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)

Gordon was the best player on the team the past 5 years.  The Bulls didn't want to pay him.  Why the boos?  Why is he the bad guy?

I would very much like to personally Gacy everyone of those fans.

I couldn't resist to start off a thread involving Breakout Performances for 2009/2010. Sure it's only been about 13 or so games into the season so far, but there are several players who are worth taking notice to. These guys have all stepped up and become better players whether it be starting or coming off the bench, here are the Breakout Performers for 2009/2010 so far.

Starters: Per 48 m ...(more)

Thomas is out 4-6 weeks with a broken forearm from lifting. This isnt good news for the Bulls.  I think we will see more playing time from Johnson now. Gibson will be the starter.  Someone else needs to bring the energy now.  I hope Bulls come out of this ok.

why not ??   their not going anywhere without allen iverson,  why not see if he can provide some offensive spark and team energy..  he can start ahead of salmons who would provide offense off the bench..

give iverson a one year  deal and see where it takes you, if it fails it cost nothing to waive him...

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)

The Bulls problem so far this year is they can't play both ends of floor at a high level at the same time.  This could be signs of a relatively young team.  If a young team improves and exerts more energy on one end physically and mentally they get complacent on the other.  Finally when the Bulls players are starting to shoot ...(more)
