Who can set the court on fire? Only the Bulls, with his response to DBB’s post about overrated players, specifically the breakdown of Ben Wallace’s performance and contract. Gotta love it.
Chicago Tribune’s K.C. Johnson reports Gray is being considered by Skiles in the running for the 5th starter spot. This is what I had in mind in my post about the back to back weekend games. Matt at blogabull has some good points, but I actually would not mind seeing him in there. Truthfully, I honestly don’t think it will matter who starts there, as long as we get Gray, Tyrus, Noah, and Noc some good quality minutes this year, with Smith thrown in there every once in a while. We are too deep to not utilize our bench.
Season opener Wednesday of next week at New Jersey. You think the sour taste of having lost to the Nets at the end of last year, knocking our seed down, is still fresh in the Bulls players’ minds? See Miami Heat opener from last year should you have any doubt.
