Chapter 8 - Can things get any worse?

Berto Center, February 12 - Bulls playing a little scrimmage in order to finish their practice session.

Thibodeau:"C'mon guys,play better defense,you have to be ready for the next games till the All star break! We've got to bounce back! First team in 40 wins!"

...Score 38-37, White Team with the Ball.Rose passes to Deng who scores a shot and makes the game 39-38 for White.

The game is really physical.Both teams play hard and the game transformed into a real contest. Great defensive job from both teams,with Noah and Monroe having block parties on their respective defensive ends. After 2 minutes with no score ,C.J. Watson gets the ball after a miss from Derrick Rose,and gets the Black on transition...

T-Mac:"C.J. pass the ball,I'm open!" Watson makes a great bullet pass,finding McGrady on the just outside the 3-point line

T-Mac makes the fake,passes Iverson and goes for the dunk giving Black team the win...

...But Carlos Boozer in a try for a block,comes with force and pushes T-Mac on the floor. T-Mac hits the floor hard and after 5 seconds of terrifying silence,McGrady begins to writhe in pain. "My arm! My arm! It hurts so much..."

Tom Thibodeau and Bulls' trainer Fred Tedeschi rushed on the floor to check T-Mac.
"What in the world were you thinking with that move Carlos?" Said Thibodeau angrily

"....."Boozer couldn't talk.He knew his clumsiness injured T-Mac seriously

"His arm is a mess Thibbs" said Tedeschi "I'm going to get him to hospital to check his situation.Though I think it must be broken...

On the meantime,George Koukoulis was sitting on his office,playing 2k11,while his phone rang...

"Damn,I have to unlock that last Jordan shoe before I leave for home!"He said before picking up the phone.

"Hello?"he replied " What? H-how did it happen?! ... And for how long?" he asked anxiously

"F**k!! Keep me updated.I'll call you back in a while" He said and closed the phone,closed 2k11 without even saving the game and started checking his notes
"I need a player,I need a player and quickly...."He whispered trying to check his e-mail for any player interested on a trade,but couldn't find any fitting team's tastes.

"Eureka!!!"He yelled in Greek."I should give this a try." He called Thibodeau at once

"Hey Thibbs,I found a player you could be interested in.I don't know if his relations with Allen are better now,but I believe either way our chemistry won't be affected as you know him well" He said to Thibodeau

"I think we can give it a shot"Thibodeau replied "He's not a good a shooter as Tracy,but I think he can bring back our freshness in the spot.Call me back when you finalize it"

T-Mac to miss 4-6 weeks due to broken Arm

CHICAGO(IL)-T-Mac's injury curse struck again.The 31-year old player injured his arm in a practice session after colliding with Carlos Boozer on a dunk attempt McGrady made. McGrady rushed to the medical center in order to check his situation,where it was made known that the fall on the floor broke his arm,meaning he is probably going to miss the whole remaining of the regular season and serve the Bulls again in the play-offs.

Chicago's management though is on the moves for a trade to cover up McGrady's spot.Chicago called up from D-League Kyle Weaver,who along with James Johnson and Chris Wilcox are the players who are the most possible to be traded. Rumors say that Bulls are pursuing many different players,like Boston's Nate Robinson,Lakers' Shannon Brown,Pistons' and a former Bull Ronnie Brewer and last but not least Spurs' George Hill,with all of them being on a situation that a trade would help both their team and them.

[karlsanada10]

Boozer still hate T-Mac?loljoke. I think I saw a vid saying that T-Mac wanted to kill Boozer.lmao. But uhh...not my fave player.-.-

And nice manager there. Playing NBA 2k11.)

[KidJustin]

On the meantime,George Koukoulis was sitting on his office,playing 2k11,while his phone rang...

awesome

another trade??? the trade deadline passed in my association so i wont be able to update my Bulls like ur Bulls

oh well...can't wait to see who you get

Robinson is interesting...but i dont think will fit
Brown same...but not as interesting
Brewer would be a fail...
Hill interesting....but do u really need another PG/SG type player?

[George7]

KidJustin, well,I'm looking for a second solution behind Allen Iverson in order to fill the gap T-Mac left. As Celtics and Lakers are not willing to trade without giving a useful piece,I might go with either Hill or Brewer. I just need a role player as I'm planning to raise Korver's minutes more and try him at the 2 spot with Deng at the SF.

[Justine.]

JR Smith!

[George7]

Well,a thought came over to my mind.What about Daequan Cook?

EDIT:J.R. Smith's case is a no go.Unless I trade Carlos Boozer for Kenyon Martin, Nuggets won't make a deal!!

January 13 , Target Center
Chicago Bulls(27-7) @ Minnesota Timberwolves(18-20)


Bulls-Timberwolves notebook
Preview|Recap|Head To Head|

THE FACTS: Wesley Johnson led all scorers with 30 points ,but the Wolves failed to win the Chicago Bulls.Michael Beasley ,No2 in the 2008 draft, had 22 points and 5 rebounds,being the second gun for Minnesota.

On the other hand,the player who was drafted ahead of Beasley with the first pick,Derrick Rose,scored 27 points and had 9 Assists as well, with Deng supporting him really well who had 18 points.Chicago Bulls had in the bench Forward James Johnson,as Chris Wilcox is on his way to his new team,the Detroit Pistons,along with SG Kyle Weaver.

THE STAT: Chicago had 20 steals on the game,5 more than T'Wolves,many of them in the 4th quarter.

QUOTABLE:"We're having a deal in store for the team. We know that T-Mac is a huge absence for the team,and with the right acquisitions we're going to fix the problems occured.I'm noting though that this doesn't mean that we're not confident of our current squad,but with that move we're going to solidify our bench."
--Bulls' GM George Koukoulis.

HOT:Greg Monroe was flawless.He had 8 points with 3-3 FG and 2-2 FT.He was a solid presence in the paint playing a really mature game in overall.

UP NEXT:January 15 vs Sacramento Kings


FINAL SCORE:Chicago Bulls - Minnesota Timberwolves 113-107


Jordan Brand PLayer Of The Game:Derrick Rose

27 Points, 9 Assists, 3 Steals, 2 Blocks, 7 Turnovers

CHICAGO(IL)- The Oklahoma City Thunder,the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons have agreed on a 3-team,5-player deal that will bring an old known back in Chicago ,fill the gap T-Mac left and shake up things in Pistons and Thunder's benches.

Trade Breakdown

The Chicago Bulls have acquired Daequan Cook from the Oklahoma City Thunder in order to strengthen their Shooting Guard spot.Cook is a legitimate three-point shooter,who has won back in 2009 the 3-Point Shoot Out and along with Korver can help his team from the bench when Bulls need some crucial shots on the end of the game.

"Our idea with Daequan is that his great shooting can help the team so much from the bench.Now that T-Mac is out,we need a player who can help from the bench. Originally we were going after Ronnie Brewer,but the chance arouse and we couldn't say no to it."Bulls' Gm Koukoulis said.

Along with Cook,Bulls acquired Brian Scalabrince as well!On a surprising move,Scalabrine returned to the Windy City.

"I still have things to give to the Bulls."Scal said after the trade was announced "I have to lead them to another championship!"

"Well,Scal's passion is something else!"Koukoulis noted "I'm sure he can help us one way or the other and use his experience ,as the only one in Bulls roster with a ring, in our favour!"

Oklahoma City used their cap space in their favor,as they added Brewer on their bench.Ronnie Brewer is a player who can go offensively to the rim,has a good defensive reputation,but lacks shooting abilities.That way Oklahoma gets rid of the spare shooter, and gets some toughness on their team,as the athletic guard out of Arkansas is known for that.

Detroit Pistons got guard Kyle Weaver and center Chris Wilcox.Wilcox is expected to get his share of playing time,as Center Kurt Thomas is probably going to be traded,so he is going to be a second option for the Center spot.Kyle Weaver is expected to rotate between bench,Inactive list and D-League,as his future is unsure...

Trade Recap

Chicago Bulls Get: Daequan Cook - 1yr /Brian Scalabrine 1yr
Oklahoma City Thunder Get:Ronnie Brewer - 2 yrs
Detroit Pistons Get:Kyle Weaver - 1 yr / Chris Wilcox - 1 yr

[karlsanada10]

Brian Scalabrine FTW! Give him some playin time.

[George7]

karlsanada10, I may keep him for the play-offs!!He will be my secret weapon!

[KidJustin]

that's kind of an awkward trade (Scal back to CHI and Wilcox back to DET) haha

i dont think a team has ever traded away a player and traded back for them in the same season...1st for the NBA

but go George...cook is good....but Scal is KILLER haha

[George7]

He's the White Mamba!

[Bucket]

Sacramento Kings(11-26) @ Chicago Bulls(28-7)


Kings - Bulls notebook
Preview|Recap|Head To Head

THE FACTS: Derrick Rose recorded a career record in assists with 18 dimes and with 27 points and 8 steals as well, he had another MVP-worthy performance. Luol Deng again showed some great display with 21 points and 4 points and again proved that he's the team's second gun. The Chicago Bulls had a really easy job taking the lead and maintaining it that Bulls' Coach Tom Thibodeau played all 12 players ,who all scored. Daequan Cook had a solid debut with 10 points in 11 minutes of play.

For the losing side,the trio of Carl Landry ,Tyreke Evans and (clearly rejuvenated) Stephon Marbury was really good. Landry had 22 points,4 assists and 6 rebounds, while Reke and Marbury had both 21 points and 6 assists,with Evans having 2 steals and 3 blocks as well.

QUOTABLE: "I know this is boring to hear,but this guy is unstoppable. I don't know why,but anything I have tried on him won't make him stop!"
--Kings' Coach Paul Westphal

THE STAT: Chicago scored 17 points at the fast-break, taking full advantage of all the opportunities to run in the open court.

GOOD MOVE:Playing all available players was a great decision from Thibbs.He gave a huge breather to the top dogs while making everyone happy, giving all players plenty of minutes to play,and all took advantage of it,maintaining the lead Bulls' starters established in the 1st half.

UP NEXT:February 22 vs Miami Heat
FINAL SCORE: Sacamento Kings - Chicago Bulls 111-121

Jordan Brand Player Of The Game:Derrick Rose
