Man, that was a fun game to go to. Nice win against the type of team the Bulls should be beating if they want to get to the playoffs. Plus it was against Skiles and his dopey apprentice...one of the regrets of not seeing the telecast was that guy's sad sack face in disappointment as the Bulls ...

There were a lot of things to like
about the Bulls’ opener against the Bucks. Derrick Rose’s...
debut, of course. The Bulls’ 44 free throw attempts. But one player really stood out.

This was very 2007. Thomas (16.5 minutes) and
Noah (5) barely played. The 3-guard lineup was used...
a lot, they folded late. And the Magic beat the Bulls, as they did in every meeting between them last season. To be fair to Vinny, Nocioni was ...

Bulls Take Commanding Lead in the Central
Tremendous Upside Potential —
Before you read my crap, read this. To go along with that, a few random thoughts from opening night... - With the Cavs and Bucks losing, and with Detroit and Indiana inactive, the Bulls have sole possession of first place in the central division (already!). - Fast break points: Bulls - 20, Bucks - 1 Like, damn. They're running a little bit. - According to the AP recap, the Bulls' captains are Hinrich, Deng, and Drew Gooden. - Derrick Rose was one assist away from debuting with a double-double. - There's a ...

... Matt from BlogaBull on Tyrus Thomas: "41 minutes for Tyrus Thomas! I bet out of habit Skiles tried to take him out of the game before realizing he wasn't coaching him any more. He had 8 FTAs (missed 3, which is actually a percentage below what he'd been doing in the preseason) and drew several more fouls. The man is a foul-drawing machine, and the entire team did a very good job getting the Bucks in the penalty. (You can tell Skiles is taking over the Bucks defense by first getting them to foul a lot...eventually the refs will get sick of calling it ...

Thank You Isiah —
...I don't really have much to add to what Matt and KD said. I like that Ty played 41 minutes, and did a lot of nice things during them. (Some of his rebounds were kinda insane.) I like that Ben Gordon had a very nice 2nd half. I like that Deng, Hinrich, Noah, and even Nocioni (who was a team high +16!), all played very well. I like a nine-man rotation, with no Aaron Gray and as little Thabo as possible. (Does Scotter have the ear of VDN?) Derrick Rose joins Carlos Zambrano and Dan Marino in my personal troika of "Sports Figures I Would Take A Bullet ...
Hit 'Em Up: Oh What A(n Opening) Night!
Hardwood Paroxysm —
... Bl0g-A-Bull: "41 minutes for Tyrus Thomas!...He makes so many plays where you say there's no power forwards who can do that, or stop that. He's such an instinctive passer and his jumpshot has improved to the point where defenders are running at him. The one 'old Tyrus' part of his game was the 2 goaltends (plus an offensive basket interference), but if you let him play it's usually a net positive. And then some...Kirk Hinrich also had a good shooting game, though before I looked at the boxscore I wouldn't have guessed it." (Ed. Note: At this point I'm ...
