The game’s afoot, and the game is the hunt for (presumably) ex-Phoenix Suns coach Mike D’Antoni. The Knicks want him. The Bulls want him. The Suns may or may not want him. And now the game has progressed to the point where the various players are trying to reel him in.
A lot of this game is rumor and innuendo. ESPN, […]

Poor Bill Clinton. He works hard to provide for his family, writing books, giving speeches and consorting with foreign officials… and how does his family pay him back?

Hillary cannot tell a lie, especially where the will of the people is involved. We’re not sure where this strategy comes from, but we’re going to start calling her… Poll-noccio.

There’s new scam on the Chicago El (elevated train or subway, if you’re not from around here). It’s better than “help me, I’m homeless,” much more imaginative than the shell game, which has made a comeback in recent years. For the latest innovation in separating the fool and his money, I give you: The Recidivist Scam.
This has […]

Heard good things about Iron Man? You heard right, its an odd, but faith-affirming instance of a movie that lives up to the hype. I’m going to break this into two parts, the meat of the film, and the allusions to the Iron Man comics and cartoons (much of which is laying the groundwork for the eagerly […]

Looking at the Bulls over the course of the week (Ownership, Coach Search, Frontcourt, Backcourt) I’m seeing a lot of chaos. The Bulls have a leadership problem in ownership, management and players. They’re not likely to improve the ownership anytime soon, no matter how much Reinsdorf publicly states his preference for his White Sox. Management is the first […]

When you look at the Bulls backcourt, you see a lot of combo guards, and not a lot of height. You really don’t see much by way of pure point guards.
Point Guards
Chris Duhon: The only pure point guard on the team, he’s outta there. After oversleeping after catching a late flight back from the Duke - North […]

There’s more than a little bit up in the air with the Bulls frontcourt. Players with contracts up. Players who might be traded. Players who can’t be properly evaluated because they haven’t received proper coaching. Much like the rest of the Bulls, the front court is a mess. Let’s look at what’s there and try […]

The first task the Chicago Bulls face is finding a new coach. Ideally, this would be done before the draft, so General Manager, John Paxson, can work with the new coach in figuring out who’s staying and who’s going, because there need to be some changes in personell.
Barring a lot of trade activity, which is probable, […]

Rumor has it Scott Skiles has verbally agreed to be the next coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.  Welcome to the soap opera that is Scott Skiles, Wisconsin.
Skiles is at his best as a sort of frontier sherriff, riding into town and restoring order.  He works his players hard and he burns them out.  Don’t expect […]
