What the "F" are the Bulls doing?

I'm a Bulls fan.

Always have been since 1991 even through the dark days of the post championship era. It's really frustrating that the Bulls is taking too long to decide on deals that could make the team instant contenders after they swing a trade.

And the deals that matter were so little (although the Eddy Curry deal was the best to date in the Paxson-Forman era), Bulls got Tyson Chandler, Tyrus Thomas (for LaMarcus Aldridge a head scratcher), deal with Ben Wallace. The Bulls also let the Kobe Bryant trade rumor linger on in 2007-08 that it affected the players mentally thus missing the play-offs again at that time. It's frustrating generally. No bold moves. It's always piece by piece, little by little.

I really can't blame Coach Tom for fielding Rose,Noah and company a bit longer, with so little talent to choose from who can blame the man? I mean Miami have constructed their team that any number they call can produce for their team. A lot of these teams have that luxury, why not the Bulls? My Bulls?

Just this draft for instance Brooklyn let go of the trigger and got themselves a win now championship caliber team, No it's not a big 3 anymore, it's a big 5. While I still believe the Bulls are still competitive I wonder how long, the talent everywhere is growing while the Bulls have stayed foot.

Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce instantly brings championship pedigree to the upstart Brooklyn Nets their presence solidifies the Nets line-up even more, gone is Gerald Wallace on and off plays replaced by a steady Paul Pierce not to mention a huge upgrade with Garnett for Evans and Humphries. Bulls now find themselves battling these teams: Heat, Pacers, Nets and Knicks for East supremacy.

It's frustrating really knowing the Bulls have been dormant while these teams are adding talent by the day. Worst, we Bulls fans might someday wake up to see the team once more struggle just to make it to the second round.

Bulls had a huge opportunity before, some 2 years ago before Derrick injured his ACL and if the Bulls don't do anything even with the brilliance of their coach and their players the window might be closing and it's getting fast.

Wake Up Bulls!

Some random NBA thoughts

Brooklyn Nets fire Avery Johnson: I do think Avery was a bit overrated but with Deron Williams again figuring with a coach firing? That's something. Remember days prior Deron grumbled being lost on Johnson's offense. There certainly is some trend going on with Deron...

Amare Stoudamire on the verge of return: It can be make or break, Knicks have been doing fine without him. If he screws he'd be dealt for sure. Remember in the off-season he was almost dealt for free according to some rumors...

Lakers winning again thanks to Steve Nash return: Good news to Laker fans! It's a great Christmas gift when  Lakers won against New York on Christmas day they are back to .500. Bad news? They lost to Denver the next day. I just hope they become more consistent this season.

Marc J. Spears of yahoo sports reports KG doesn't care of accolades: Don't all players say that?

Monta Ellis claiming that the only thing that separates him and D-Wade are a couple of championship and some winning:  Monta is a great player, but c'mon D-Wade is in another level man, the guy is shooting .511 this year and if he continues this he'll have done it twice in his career. He averages more points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks career wise and thought he guy is far removed from his 2008-09 MVP-like season the guy is still consistent, plus the guy thrived through difficult times when the 2006 championship team was dissolved and still kept Miami winning. Monta, after B-Diddy deserted them, never lifted GS to the play-offs again. I think claiming that much is too much.

Pop threatens to bench his top guys again: I respect Pops decision, if the NBA have problems with that then they should suck it. I don't think it's detrimental to anybody that a team play as good as anybody even without their top guys. It only shows the quality of guys on a team, it just shows the kind of coaching a team has and the trust a coach can put into his guys. That's basketball.
