Chicago Bulls Thread

For those who watched the game, was there any mention made of the reason Harrington got the starting nod over Curry?

Nevermind, the recap was just posted on NBA.com:

Curry, who did not start due to a strained right groin, had 14 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter as the surging Bulls ran their home winning streak to six games with a 111-107 triumph over the Nuggets.

wow i don't believe this, my favorite team is one game behind for the 6th seed.

definitely a game they would have lost last year. lots of mistakes but still the bulls were able to overcome them

man- curry really abused his defenders in the 2nd half. he was downright unstoppable.

good times for bulls fans

Time to sign jordan for the playoffs

jordan is most certainly a male dude!

i dont think jordan would ever go back and join the bulls. hopefully the baby bulls will become Teenage bulls and win in the 1st round this year.

Indiana's loss to Boston not only gave the Celtics the third seed, but also puts them a game behind the Bulls, giving Chicago a little more breathing room at the 7th spot. Here's hoping the Bulls can take the last two games of January (Charlotte and Boston, both at the United Center) to take a 23-19 record into February - that's a nice cushion to have for a month with 8 of the 11 games on the road.

oh im sorry it's only a joke, co's i know MJ will not comeback anymore.

i hope jordan stays away from the team in whatever capacity

he's done so much for the city and organization when he was with the bulls but ever since his retirement, he's done nothing to help the bulls franchise, some in the chicago media say he's done nothing but try to sabotage the franchise.

it would be a shame/insult to the current bulls and fans that mj comes out of the woods to involve himself with the team just now when they started winning.

Kobe's been getting booed a lot lately.

Good, i cant stand him. He is an amazing player n top 5 in the league n a future Hall of Famer, but I think Shaq was right when he said Kobe will never win a Championship without him. Kobe just isnt a team player. He can put up 70 points in a game n his team will still lose. LeBron james is the team player version of Kobe as of right now.

yikes the bulls is now a no. 6th seed.

Time to update the signature again.

imagine if bulls could win that prized No. 6 seed....they could make it to the 2nd round....crazy, eh?

lol only skiles would put in his bench and leave them in the rest of the way and still win

"Right from the beginning, our defense was as soft as it has been the whole [season]," Skiles said. "I was leery of leaving the main guys out there. I was afraid we were going to get beat. The bench won the game for us."

big rematch with boston next. looks like there is a rivlary developing between those 2 ball clubs

yes i hope the bulls will win over the celtics.

are my seeing correct...are the Bulls really 6th???? funny how it's also a contract year for some players too

With Orlando's victory today they move back to 6th, half a game ahead of the Bulls. Chicago can catch up again with a victory over Boston.

haha give some credit where it is deserved! othella's really looking at a big extension next year

i must admit i was a doubter of the Bulls.....i said 9th at best but they've been 8th+ for a good stretch now and they are winning games with regularity.....it's just rare to see that's why i'm skeptical

Yup , Bulls are a young team right now and will only get better , im hoping to see another dynasty within the next 10 years , lead by ben gordon and luol deng . Lets go bulls~~

I may have spoken too soon. If Orlando defeats Washington tonight (leading 55-45 as I post this) they'll remain ahead no matter what.

It's pretty amazing about Chicago's record. Too bad I haven't seen a single peep from ESPN about the rise of the Bulls. I guess they don't want to jinx anything.

Boston ends another winning streak. Still, it's been a great month and they're still fairly safe in the seventh spot for now. Here's hoping they can survive on the road in February.

I never used to watch Bulls games but I've been seeing a lot of highlights on The Score and I checked the standings on NBA.com and I knew I just had to watch some games.

The first thing I noticed is that the Bulls helpside defense is amazing, like just today when Curry blocked Banks on that last second drive.

Another thing, I havn't seen Ben Gordon play too much but the last couple of games I watched he has impressed me. This was again mention in todays Boston game, but he can have a slow 1st and 2nd quarter and then explode for 10-15+ in a quarter. He's certainly going to give Emeka Okafor a run for Rookie of the Year.

And finally, the whole team has impressed me, but Kirk Hinrich is going to be an amazing point guard. He does everything a point guard should do, and to add too that he is a great shooter.

So congrats Andrew on the success of the Bulls, but I got to say, the Nets have been playing really well the last couple of games. They just beat the Jazz and last night the Lakers, both on the road. So we both have something to celebrate about
