[...] Matt McHale of By The Horns says Chicago needs a team leader, and questions whether Derrick Rose has the requisite personality trait to step into that role. [...]

Bulls need a shooter, period. They need a guy who can consistently hit shots outside 15 feet, including 3s, to extend defenses and allow their big guys to score and Rose to penetrate.

We need to give some rookies more playing time. They seem to have more heart than the regular rotation.

Just to finish that, sports are passionate. I know I care deeply about my teams and am embarrassed to lose. We need an owner that isn’t worried about the money, just worried about not losing!

I’m very sad guys… I know I’m not alone here in thinking this either… Why DO these “Owners” bother to have these teams? I wish for an owner that would spend some of that money and be as emotionally invested in this team as I am. Is that asking too much? Maybe Jordan, because we all know he hates to lose? (I do understand his previous experiences haven’t worked out but I wish our owner cared …)

Also, how evident is it that we miss Air Gordon at the end of games? While Gordon wasn’t a great all-around player, at least he had the cojones to make something happen at the end of games, unlike his replacement John Fishyshotpercentage. An alpha dog doesn’t need to be an absolute stud; he just has to be willing and able to make something happen when something needs to happen, and that was BG on a consistent basis.

Reggie,

I’m sure you have some good points…I just couldn’t find them because I couldn’t understand your 50 line sentence. Can you re-post with a little editing?

Thanks,

Everyone

okay… the bulls don’t need to get rid of VDN. They’ve gotten off to slow starts before, AND have managed to be in the playoff race or in the playoffs come the end of the season for 5 of the last 6 years. So I’m not worried about our chances of making the playoffs. We just have to not make terrible decisions on both sides of the ball, and be more aggressive on the defensive end. The reason the bulls are where they are at this point is because of their stupid and terrible decision making, and their lack of effort and intensity on both sides of the ball. We just have to be patient and give it time, this team will get it going at some point. One suggestion: trade John Salmons stupid dribble-too-much ball hogging ass. He makes terrible decisions, and doesn’t know how to play team basketball. Go back to Sacramento, you retard!

What did Kobe do when three guys were guarding him a few nights ago against the heat? He went and got the ball, triple team be damned. DRose, save for DWade and Devin Harris, is the fastest point guard in the league, and I agree with you Matt that he lacks that, I wanna kill somebody attitude that Kobe and DWade have.

C’mon Reggie, I mean really? Please put some of these in once in a while .,; I wouldn’t even care if they were used improperly, just show a little effort. Other than that I agree with most things being said in here, I think first priority; get rid of VDN. The Nets game tonight just put me over the edge, I wasn’t able to watch it, unless you call gamecast watching, so it’s hard to come up with excuses for why it was Vinnie’s fault, but I’m at the point I’m ready for a sacrificial lamb at least. I’m getting naseous just thinking about these last few weeks. Salmons jacking up a 3 down one, at home, with 7 seconds left? Pretend there’s something between your legs and drive to the hole. D Rose should be demanding the ball in that situation. Just pathetic. I’ve got to go now. It all hurts so much.
