Wow Eric Gordon, worst foul of the year so far. I fear he'll hit the winner and make up for it.

I was debating whether to put Eric or Ben, and as stupid as the foul was, you still have to hit that shot and the FT to tie it.

Is it weird that I'm a little upset we won? As much as I love the Bulls, and as much as I love to see them win, realistically, they won't do anything in the playoffs (unless something clicks), if they make it in the 1st place, and if they miss out, then it just hurts our draft position. God knows Pax wouldn't dare do anything to help the team.

So a foul on a 3 point shooter late in the 4th helps decide back to back games on back to back nights for the Bulls. Go freaking figure. It's really inexcuseable that both of these games were close, and it's far worse that one was actually a loss, but at least the Bulls got a win tonight. The Bulls have lost to horrid opposition when trying to get back to .500 multiple times this year, so maybe they can shock the world and win at Boston Friday to get back to .500. If not, at least they don't play on the road there again this year. Nocioni really saved the day tonight.

I'd usually agree, but I think making the playoffs is important this year. All that matters this year is the development of Derrick Rose, and I'm willing to sacrifice a few slots in the draft (odds are they wouldn't get lucky in the lottery again, and they are a borderline playoff team either way) in order to get Rose some playoff experience.

screw that, I want to win now and think 2010 free agency instead of the draft.

Honestly, unless we get lucky again I don't see a whole lot of difference between say #7 and #15 in this draft, at least at this point it seems to be personal preference after Griffin.

 

That is a good point, this is a very weak draft, so if there was ever a year to just sneak into the playoffs for the sake of getting Rose some postseason experience and not worrying about the draft pick ramifications, this is it.

kind of what I was thinking to. It would be nice to grab someone like Derozen if he slips that far.

I would hope he stays another year the way he's played thus far, he needs to develop his game quite a bit.
