Did I just take a Zoloft or did the Bulls beat the Cavs last night while shutting down LBJ? Okay, he was sick, they were missing guys, and the offense still struggled, but who cares?

Doug Thonus The Depression Part 2 After going 2-2 after four home games against four of the worst teams in the NBA, it's oficially time to panic about this season. It's really hard to imagine things being a whole lot worse than this. What happened to the team that was a game under .500 after playing the toughest schedule in the NBA? They played a bunch of creampuffs and lost. Grab your hard liquor, turn on the blues and listen to the Bulls Beat. http://www.bullspodcasters.com/bullsbeat/bullsbeat_90.mp3 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:38:33 CST Chicago,Bulls,NBA,Basketball,Draft After going 2-2 after four home games against four of the worst teams in the NBA, it's oficially time to panic about this season.

Doug Thonus The Sky is Falling The Bulls are blown out by two good opponents, and then lose to one of the worst teams in the league. At home. The sky actually is falling, and the finger pointing and internal problems are obvious. VDN has lost the team and needs to go, and John Paxson may not be the right man to try and fix this mess. Wholesale changes are required at this point, and Paxson needs to prove he's not too attached to the players he drafted. My prediction of the 6th seed indeed looks pretty weak right now. http://www.bullspodcasters.com/bullsbeat/bullsbeat_89.mp3 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:55:02 CST Chicago,Bulls,NBA,Basketball,Draft The Bulls are blown out by two good opponents, and then lose to one of the worst teams in the league.

Doug Thonus The Roster Glut In this edition of the Bulls Beat I lightly cover the past three games, and spend a lot of time discussing the Bulls rotation as Hinrich appears to be possibly ahead of schedule in his recovery. Luol Deng and Drew Gooden should also be returning to the lineup soon, and a big time minute crunch seems inevitable. What do we do with this roster both short term and long term? This and other rambling thoughts in a somewhat disjointed edition of the Bulls Beat. http://www.bullspodcasters.com/bullsbeat/bullsbeat_88.mp3 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:29:34 CST Chicago,Bulls,NBA,Basketball,Draft In this edition of the Bulls Beat I lightly cover the past three games, and spend a lot of time discussing the Bulls rotation as Hinrich appears to be possibly ahead of schedule in his recovery.
