Hard work easily Bulls' top priority

With each player, the grimace became more genuine, more pronounced. Kirk Hinrich 's first response - "You had to bring up last season, didn't you?" - said even more than his second, which still was pretty ...

I'm willing to guarantee that paxson & this new coach will screw up Derrick Rose just as sure as I'm sitting here. The fact that he hasn't traded the six year bust hinrich is overwhelming proof of that. He'll probably insist that this loser start and get heavy minutes playing time while this woeful Bull's team looks the same way it did last year while a potential superstar rookie languishes on the bench. Mark my words. I guess because paxson was at best a marginal player himself must be the reason he's so fascinated with hinrich. The Bull's may win 30-33 games at most.

One thing about it, the Bulls shouldn't feel alot of pressure this season. Nobody really expects anything out of them, and i know that there's probably alot of us, that really don't care very much anymore either. After last season, watching players actually quit on the team, i felt a dissapointment that was unimaginable. I definitely won't go there again. Should this team come out with their usual early season losing, especially if it's due to effort, then i won't waste any further time even giving them the anger. I'll move on to the Blackhawks only, where whenever they lose, at least you know they're giving their all.

Last season was an absolute complete utter disappoinment that turned off legions of Bulls fans. I still have that bitter taste in my mouth because the team plain quit last year. Every player back from last year should apologize on the PA system to all Bulls fans before the start of the first game. If the Bulls start this season with their same old lacidasical, uncaring, losing attitude that they seem to have, I along with many other fans will quickly lose interest. Play hard! Thank God you get paid huge bucks to play a game. Just don't quit. We fans deserve better than that. Now let's play ball. Go Bulls!!

JEEEZ I hope these guys ( all professionals ???) CAN actually get this together. The Fans are anticipating a competitive season. It would be nice, FOR A CHANGE. But, we all REALLY know that the BIG FAT, DADDY, JERRY R. doesn't give a S-----t, as he's already sold all seats. Derrick Rose will be a BUST: but he's already put more cash into J.R.'s pocket. This move has paid off. Vinny's the pawn here: I personally ( like ) him and hope, for his sake this team wins at least 40.

Twister 18 you are on Target
Paxson is clueless---he has made too many mistakes to list here....
Capt. Klank Hinrich is not a leader and he is not a NBA starter. Klank is a circle dribbling clock eater who is too slow and a career inconsistent shooter.
Maybe the virgin head coach, Vinnie Boom-Batz will put Klank where belongs---on the end of the bench.

Don't know if an apology would be a good thing to start off with. Seems a bit negative to me and just continues the saga from last year.

Starting off with some confidence, cohesion and determination would be the better path to take, I think.

Yes, Hinrich should start and I hope that Del Negro's quizzes are helping the other players to learn the plays so they are in position to receive Hinrich's passes.

Last year was last year. Let's start the new season with some support from the fans. The blame game is not the way to start.

Rose will not be a bust and they have already stated Rose will get as much playing time as they can with out burning him out. I agree with thesmlpkg, its a new season, move on. Support the team in the here and now and forget about next year. Give Del Negro a shot, he knows the game. And if you expect D Rose to be C Paul or D Williams rite away, your insane and might as well not watch. There will be plenty of growing pains, just hope to see improvement as the years goes on.
