Bulls are insignificant right now.

This is just incredible.  Vinny Del Negro inside the huddle:

In two minutes, he never gives a single specific piece of coaching advice.  He's like a pull-string doll of basketball cliches.

The best part is at the 1:13 mark where he makes Taj Gibson run all the way over to tell him, "Be aggressive. Defense. Shooting. Strong. Be aggressive. C'mon."

Runner-up favorite moment: "C'mon. Get a few stops, defensively. Then run out and hit some shots." 

C'mon, coach.

This team is kind of good.  It would be nice to have a coach who can actually coach these guys up and develop them.

I hate to be a buzzkill, but shouldn't a team be able to score points before calling it "kind of good"?

Vinny's a dope, but I'd rather have some more talented players who can score than a new coach. Both would be nice though.

They have the talent to put up more points than they have so far.  I was concerned about the scoring without Gordon, but with the improvement from Noah and Deng, they should be alright.  Rose is starting to come around and Salmon won't be shooting as badly as he has so far this year.  To me, the bulls are good enough to be the 5th seed in the east, which means they are "kind of good". 

I would also love to have more talented players, but that won't be happening until next year when Wade, Bosh and Lebron will take minimum to win championships with Rose.  So for this year, can I just bitch about the coach who is just not very good?

The Bulls are kind of bad.

Lindsey Hunter played the entire 4th quarter.

I expected a win total in the high 30s. They're coming off a west coast trip and they never, ever play well out there. Even in years they made the playoffs they got absolutely trounced out west. It just seems to happen. When they play a long stretch of games against the East and at home, they'll be fine.

Yes, they lost to the Bucks last night. It happens.

This team is exactly what I expected. And yeah, they're pretty insignificant. The main reason to watch is the hope that Derrick Rose doesn't break his neck or anything.

Old Bull news.

"Lakers forward Ron Artest admits he used to drink alcohol during games while he was on the Bulls.
"I used to drink Hennessy ... at halftime," said Artest, who played with the Bulls from 1999-2002. "I (kept it) in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it." This is very shocking news and it will be interesting to see what David Stern has to say about this one. Owners should hope that Artest is not disciplined so long after the fact. Dec. 2 - 10:35 am et

FYBG!

What a spectacularly bland brand of basketball.

So if the Bulls trade Tyrus to the Knicks for Al Harrington this is just another thing we can blame VDN for, isn't it?

Considering the insignificance of this team and that really the main focus is the 2010 off-season, I'll take all the expiring contracts we can get.

Except the Bulls have no obligation to Tyrus for next season, so this move wouldn't help with cap space.  The only way the Bulls can get more cap room for next summer is to trade Kirk or Deng.
