... Center. This is what things have come to. I thought Ryan was joking, but check out the video. It’s right there. It’s obvious. Vinny is shouting at Quentin Richardson.
Has that ever worked on anybody? Ever? Even in open gym? No, it has not, which is why Vinny Del Negro SHOULD BE FIRED. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

... Last season, the Bulls fielded an interesting team. #1 overall pick Derrick Rose had a fantastic rookie season, earning himself the Rookie Of The Year Award despite his defensive struggles. Ben Gordon was an offensive beast, a guy who gave his all despite the fact he had dealt with 2 years of botched contract negotiations and knew that in all likelihood he would not be returning to Chicago.
