Gotta appreciate this paragraph in the ESPN summary of last night's game (http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago/bulls/post/_/id/23951/familiar-script-dooms-bulls-in-loss-to-lowly-mavericks (http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago/bulls/post/_/id/23951/familiar-script-dooms-bulls-in-loss-to-lowly-mavericks))
"The Bulls keep burning their own hands, though. Aside from the lackluster effort and errors early in the game, the flaws that have been present all season remain. The late-game offense, centered around isolation sets for [Dwyane] Wade and Jimmy Butler, remain too predictable. The Bulls' defensive miscues allowed for Mavericks swingman Wesley Matthews to drill a wide-open, game-winning 3 with 11.7 seconds left."
Go MU.
-
They showed highlights on SportsCenter this morning in the two minutes each hour they aren't in commercial, and mentioned the MU connections several times.
-
Great final play/clip ending has JFB, Wes, Wade all mentioned. Of course Wes was the man. MU trifecta.
-
We'd to the Bulls! Only half kidding as he'd actually be a lot better at helping that team than Wade or half the guys on that bench.

I don't watch as much Bulls as I did when I lived in Chicago, but I believe I have seen enough to have decided that Hoiberg is in over his head and the decision-makers up top don't do their jobs very well.
Even a best-case scenario with this roster is middle-of-pack, 5-6-7 seed, overpriced-talent kind of stuff - the exact thing Reinsdorf said he wanted to avoid when he blew up the championship Bulls at least 2 years too early.
The worst-case scenario is years without playoff appearances and a fan base that finally might realize there are better things on which to spend disposable income (including the Cubs).
