Has anyone heard an interview with Vinnie, where he explains why he is not playing JJ more? This is getting dangerous, in my opinion. We are going to lose this kid. How much does it hurt him to see this team NEED him on the court so badly, watching wounded soldiers go down, one by one, and still just get in for 5 – 15 minutes? Jannero has played much worse with what he has been given (and JJ has a strong three-point jumper!).

Bob,

My side hurts a bit after reading your post. I have been a lifetime Bulls fan, and got a chance to attend my first live game against the Nets at the end of last year. Apparently, Duo Design was not there – I would have remembered that. There was a very brief clip of them on Comcast that night though, and I believe they were on America’s Got Talent recently? It is still uncalled for.

The reason for my side pains was that I was one of the D-bags screaming for a Cup of Coffee to win or for the Fan-O-Meter to bust through the side of the Jumbo-tron. In hindsight I see the Fan-O-Meter display on the TV games doing the same reading. My 3 year old son was with me, so I can save a small bit of face – but I was hoping that there weren’t ‘regular’ fans watching me scream at an automated meter.

As I said the other day, it is time for JJ (Johnson) to get major playing time for experience sake. He should be put in the rotation and played until he fouls out. It would speed up his learning curve and give fans and management an idea of how quickly he learns and develops. Let Richards collect splinters. We have now learned just how valuable Noah is. His rebounding, defense and offense all help round out the Bulls. With the exception of Bosh I could care less about the “elite” free agents. The Bulls need a power forward, another center and a third guard for their rotation. All need to be strong “team defense” contributors and none needs to be an “elite” FA. This could be accomplished in the FA seasons of 2010 and 2011 and through the draft. If the Bulls are smart they will sit Noah until next season. Yes, we will be a lottery team. But FA’s have seen what the core of the Bulls can do when healthy. No one expected to be devastated by injuries but we have been. The entire core seems to be walking wounded.

[...] the weeks leading up to this week’s game, Dave kept bugging me about checking to see what the halftime act was going to be. I kept telling [...]

I did the responsible thing at halftime: hit the bathroom and grab a hot dog (major pause). I have to give the UC credit for bringing in the Vienna Beef jumbo dogs. They’re way better than that shitty pizza.

Matt I like the description on basketbawful, sorry you and I had to sit through that more than once, I should’ve gotten up and walked around. Like you I’d prefer the Loveables which have improved (in the face) over the past several years. Also I’m always amazed how grown men will jump up and down screaming at the top of their lungs for a T-shirt that’s worth about $0.50. I get excited sometimes, you know for Big Macs, but I suspect that some people thick the FAN-O-METER is legit, or that by cheering and yelling Cuppy Coffee will actually be motivated to run faster.

Given how porous the Bulls’ defense is at this time, I wonder why they don’t try playing zone more often? What’s to lose?

what about the 7?2 center overseas. I heard he was suppose to be in Chicago for training camp. Saw some highlights from him…doesn’t look like much of a outside-the-post player but he looks like he can defend the bucket and score under the basket….If we can land a wade or j johnson and keep the team we have (rose noah jj gibson continue to develop) along with this 7?2 guy, murray,warrick, alexander,hinrich,and miller on the bench we can be very competitive next year.

bobbysimmons — I was gonna leave this one alone, but…

…I was also at the game. Let me take you back several years. My best friend, who has always loved the Jazz, was visiting from out of town and we went to the Jazz-Bulls game. This was around 2001 I think. Anyway, we were “treated” to Duo Design. Here’s what I wrote about the experience on Basketbawful:

So we haven’t hung much in the two years he’s been living in Scranton, PA, but he’s in town for a conference, so we hit the game. He told me ahead of time I needed to check the halftime show to make sure Duo Design wouldn’t be there. I laughed. What were the chances, right?

Two minutes before halftime, the Jumbotron flashes: “Halftime show: Duo Design!”

Gak.
