Open Game Thread #29: Bulls vs Orlando Magic
The feel-good Boylan era keeps going. Or gets destroyed by Dwight Howard. I guess we'll see. 1pm CST start, on WGN. That means we don't even get the brief lucidity in a broadcast where Stacy King craps on Nocioni's shot selection. That's all I have to look forward to nowadays. blogging with the…

On our way back to nowhere
So the Bulls get two wins against two shit teams. Here is what seems to be the 'interim' direction: Ben Gordon off the bench. He's playing well. They're playing crappy teams, he can do that, whether he starts or not. And one option keeps Duhon on the bench, so I still like that one…

Open Game Thread #28: Bulls at New York Knicks
[Thanks again to bullshooter. Like a Noc defensive rotation, better late than never, right? -Matt] Unless Matt is working feverishly elsewhere, here's a game thread. Curry has been benched and David Lee is the starter. Jamal Crawford is out with a finger. I look for BG to…

Because the Bulls need more underachievers
[I had this topic in mind today before Boylan's media tour made me hate this team. Quickly: benching Gordon sucks, it won't work and even if it 'works' it'll just keep him on the bench, which doesn't work. I won't try and speculate rotations based on whatever spin Boylan used in his…

Jim Boylan officially named new coach (UPDATE: Gordon benched)
UPDATE: Boylan, during a WSCR interview, indicated that Ben Gordon will be benched in favor of Chris Duhon. No word on the rest of the starting lineup, but I consider it indication to now give up on the season until Gordon's traded. Thanks, Bulls, for the heads up! -Matt [Thanks to HongyDraw for…

Fire Pete Myers
Wow, it was like Myers broke out the worst laid plans of Skiles before this game, just to torment us. Not including the 2 minutes of garbage time (should've been more than 2, but Myers kept the starters out even while the team was down twenty) here is the minutes distribution from Wednesday…

The Raptors beat the Hornets
I'm gonna take a pass on the usual game flow notes today, and just jump straight to crunch time of Hornets-Raptors last night.After Chris Paul uncharacteristically missed two free throws that would have put the Hornets up one with 25 seconds left, the Raps grabbed the board and called timeout.…

Rumor: Pietrus to the Heat, Warriors Not Interested in Smush Parker + Other Heat Options

Calvin Booth is back
You remember Calvin Booth, don't you? He was billed as Seattle's center of the future when the Sonics inked him to a six-year, $34 million deal the summer of 2001. Of course, Booth was hurt most of the time he was here and only lasted three seasons in Seattle. Well, four teams later and Booth is…
