not quite, Rose, Gordon, and Gooden are still around (although Gooden has issues with the team and is put on the inactive rotation..)
Odom is the man right now, with Rose and Gordon supporting him, Williams and Fernandez are rising stars and the other guys are just there as expiring contracts so Dennis could properly rebuild the team into a championship contender.

Injury hits the windy city..again
February 4th 2009


In a loss against the Hornets in New Orleans, the already short-handed Bulls has another one of their starters go down with an injury, this time, it's their rising big man Sean Williams.

Williams went down after landing on Hornets Center Tyson Chandler's foot following a rebound midway through the second quarter, he appeared to have twisted his ankle and fell to the floor, he was helped by teammates to the locker room, and did not return for the remainder of the first half, he was diagnosed with a mild ankle sprain and returned early in the 3rd quarter, he isn't expected to miss any time but is listed as day-to-day and will be monitored closely by the Bulls trainer.

On a happier note, Ben Gordon would now be able to return to the lineup, however, his status has only been updated to as day-to-day, and like Sean Williams, he would be monitored closely. The Bulls have been struggling with both Gordon and Rose being out of the lineup, so Gordon's return should make it easier for Lamar Odom and the Bulls.

[Robert]

Andrew Bogut All-Star! The injury might actually help your team and Ben Gordon gets more minutes

[kibaxx7]

Andrew Bogut All-Star!

On other note, great to see my men VC and Harris on board for the All-Star Game.

[Fresh8]

If only Bogut made it in real life. Too bad he's always injured.

[Valor]

Robert, surprising isn't it? on the other hand..how would losing my best interior player to injury help my team...

thierryhenry50, if only vc had made it in real life too....

Sit, na, i think it's more to do with the fact that the Bucks are so crappy no one watches their games...so not many people know who bogut is and thus, do not vote for him. Even Michael Redd was only a one time all star...

[C-77]

wow!,Big Al made it to the all-star team!,I'm Guessing that west is gonna win this they're stronger!

[Valor]

wow!,Big Al made it to the all-star team!,I'm Guessing that west is gonna win this they're stronger!

i'd say the two teams are pretty balanced out, but we shall see

[Valor]

Williams, Odom leads Bulls to victory


Chicago, IL - Lamar Odom had a near triple double with 37 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks from 15 for 16 shooting; while Sean Williams notched his first career triple double with 21 points, 12 rebounds, a career high 11 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks from 10 for 14 shooting to lead the injury-plagued Bulls to defeat Allen Iverson and the Detroit Pistons, 124-108, at United Center.

Ben Gordon, who the doctors had just cleared him to go full force again, added in 15 points from 6 for 10 shooting, including 3 for 4 from three, to add to the cause. Grant Hill had 14 points as well as a game high 4 steals, while Rudy Fernandez chipped in 10 off the bench. Reserves Anthony Carter and Patrick Ewing Jr both added in 8 apiece.

The Bulls were on target from long range tonight, going 9 for 18 from three in the game, as opposed to the Pistons, who shot 5 for 14 from beyond the arc. The Bulls were also deadly from the field, going 50 for 88 compared to the Pistons 46 for 99 performance.

Heading into the game, these two Central Division rivals looked determined to get the job done in order to become the division leader. With the Pistons (34-15 before the game) on a hot streak and the Bulls (34-17 before the game) hitting a wall due to multiple injuries to their starters (D-Rose is still out, Gordon and Williams just returned to the lineup). With this win, the Bulls are now just half a game away from the Pistons for the top spot in the Central Division.

"This was a huge victory for us, we really needed this win after what happened in the last 2 weeks with all these injuries to our key guys, we were on a slump and everything, we just want to come out here to prove ourselves in front of our home crowd" said Lamar Odom "we haven't been here for a while (The Bulls were playing their first home game since January 23rd.) so we just want to come out strong and compete, and get the crowd back on our side."

They certainly done that.

The Bulls came out on fire, outscoring the Pistons 35 to 25 in the first quarter, and made it a 64-48 lead by half time shooting 8 for 13 from beyond the arc. Gordon had 13 of his 15 points by half time, while Williams already got a near triple double with 8 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks at the end of the second period.

However, the Bulls subbed on their bench players to start the 3rd quarter, and the Pistons attempted a comeback, outscoring the Bulls 36 to 29 in the 3rd and at one point, was as close as 2 points behind, luckily, the Chicago starters came back in and stepped up their game once more, led by Odom, they launched an attack on the Pistons late in the 3rd and early in the 4th, and Detroit never recovered.

The Pistons were led by Prince, who had 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. Iverson had a double double with 18 points, 10 assists, and 4 rebounds; and so did Rasheed Wallace, who got 16 and 12; but they were out rebounded 39 to 44 and despite causing the Bulls to make 15 turnovers compared to their 10, they shot a miserable 35% from three point range and a terrible 61% from the charity stripe; in comparison, the Bulls shot 71% from the line.

"We need to start making some shots, i mean, we caused 15 turnovers and stole the ball 12 times but we only got 14 fast break points? We need to make the most of the opportunities we are given. Those are wide open shots we were taking, and we missed them, it's unacceptable." said Iverson after the game "and the Free Throws? damn"

Game Notes
The Bulls are now on their first winning streak of 2 or more games since January 15th.....PG Derrick Rose is scheduled to be back between 1 to 2 weeks.....The Pistons are now 8-2 in their last 10 with this loss...The Bulls are now 30-6 when ahead at the half...







Highlights

Nuggets acquires Mike Bibby from Atlanta
February 11th 2009


The Denver Nuggets have announced earlier today that they have acquired guard Mike Bibby from the Atlanta Hawks for forward Kenyon Martin and the Nuggets '09 1st round pick.

Bibby was acquired by the Hawks last season from the Sacramento Kings and was a big part of that team going into the playoffs and pushing the Boston Celtics to game 7 in the first round.

Now in his 11th NBA Season, Bibby has career averages of 16.6 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 6.1 apg, and 1.3 spg (.439 FG% .374 3P% .804 FT%) in 36.1 mpg over 775 games played. He currently has averages of 16.6 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 4.7 apg, and 1.5 spg (.445 FG% .415 3P% .793 FT%) in 34.2 mpg over the 52 games he has played so far this season.

Bibby would be a huge boost to a Nuggets team which lost their floor general Chauncey Billups to season ending injury earlier in the season, and will be a big factor in their chase back into the playoffs, the Nuggets (22-31) are currently 11th in the western conference and are 6 games behind the Houston Rockets for the 8th spot in the west.

As a bonus, Bibby's 14.50 million dollar contract is on it's last season, so the Nuggets get a ton of cap space this offseason if they shall release him to FA.

Meanwhile, the Hawks get the one time all star and former first overall pick Kenyon Martin, who has been struggling as of late, averaging only 10.9 ppg and 5.5 rpg in 29.6 mpg this season, he will be playing the sixth man role for the Hawks behind Al Horford, Marvin Williams, and Josh Smith. This trade would make no sense for the Hawks if not for the '09 1st round pick that they are receiving in the end. With the Nuggets being almost out of the playoff picture in the tightly contested western conference, you could say the Hawks are getting a lottery pick at the price of Mike Bibby and a 3 year, 46 million dollar contract in Kenyon Martin.

However, if Bibby is able to help the Nuggets back into the playoffs, the pick would be entirely useless to the Hawks.

"It's a stupid gamble" said one ESPN analysis "If they miss the playoffs, the Hawks would need to get lucky to get a top 5 talent; if the Nuggets make it, this deal would be the most one sided deal since the Gasol trade last season"

[kibaxx7]

Wow Bibby in Denver, interesting. But as the article says it will be very onesided in the future. Great win over the Pistons and great game by Williams as well.

[Spotlight]

Very nice association here Valor! I like your squad, Odom is the superstar right now, Rose and Gordon playing pretty good as well!

[Valor]

thierryhenry50, yeah, it'll be interesting to see the impact of Bibby on that Denver team...

Spaky, thanks for following man, Odom dominates everywhere, just like in that 4-5 game stretch he had a while back when he was averaging 17+ rebounds? (In real life), except, in my association he does that on a nightly basis
