What we’ve learned about our Chicago Bulls. 1. Vinny From Black is still an average coach. He’s the case study example for the saying “Players win games, coaches lose them”. Del Negro's coaching acumen won’t win us games, but there’s a chance that it will lose us some.
2. Ben Gordon is a clutch shooter, but causes match up problems for the Bulls’ defense because of his size. Sure Ben Gordon gets on your nerves when he goes into to “dribble, dribble” crazy shot mode. But, at least he’ll make the clutch shots that no one else on the Bulls can make. It’s funny to think out of all the Bulls’ recent signings, Hinrich and Deng, that Gordon, the best player and biggest contributor of those three, may be the one the Bulls let go. I’d rather see Gordon on the Bulls than either Deng or Hinrich, but Gordon still comes with a catch: he causes us to have a poor defense. With a backcourt featuring Rose and Gordon, guys like Ray Allen aren’t afraid to shoot the ball. Gordon works hard, but he’s just too short. I’d love to see him in a Bulls’ uniform, but Scot Skiles might be right in that Gordon’s best position is 6th man.
3. Luol Deng cannot be relied upon.
4. Tyrus Thomas hasn’t gotten it done. I’m a big Tyrus Thomas fan, but even I have to admit that Thomas was outplayed by Glen Davis. Davis, the other LSU tiger, was just bigger, stronger and better than Ty. Davis’ great mid-range shot caused the Bulls a lot of problems during the series. To think that he got drafted later in the draft than Ty, but still managed to outplay him. Tyrus needs to get into the gym. Or else, we need to find a true low-post player.
5. Noah is who we think he is. A hustle player that plays with great emotion that can be a starting center. Like Tyrus, Noah needs to get into the gym. There was no reason that Perkins should have been playing like he did against the Bulls. But, I like the kid.
6. Derrick Rose will only get better.
7. We need a true low-post presence. It’s amazing to think that the Bulls’ too the Boston series to 7 games without the ability to just throw the ball down low and let a player bang on the inside.
8. I like everything about Salmons. What happens when Luol gets back? I could see moving Salmons to SG, with BG coming off the bench.
9. Defense wins championships and the Bulls are not a good defensive team.
10. Lastly, this has nothing to do with the Bulls, but I officially hate everyone on the Celtics (especially Jakie Moon, “angry face” Perkins, House, and Rondo), except Ray “He got game” Allen.

I have to disagree with 2. How can u that ben gordan is clutch when he shots 2 for 11 in game 7. Ben Gordan is the reason why we won 1 game but he is also the reason why we lost 3 of them. And Hinrich dropped 14 points in the 4th quater to keep the bulls alive while in the 4th to tie the game ben gordan gets blocked cuz he throws up a stupid shot. What a surprise Gordan with a stupid shot sounds alot like his whole carrer.
Yeah, I think you described Gordon pretty well. He has such a polar effect on a game. He is the reason we win games and lose games. I guess that's why he is a one dimensional player.
