but you know the bulls are dumbass' when it comes to player management. they let go of elton brand, brad miller, ron artest, trenton hassell and recently this one guy named jamal crawford who could probably score on anybody. (thats sarcasm for you.) i hope they dont make anymore stupid moves like they have done in the past. |
I looked into it a bit more, seems gordie can't keep his hands to himself
''Ben played 26 minutes [Tuesday] and fouled out,'' Skiles said. ''He's leading the team in shots per minutes played. [But] Ben doesn't yet have the end-to-end stamina that he needs to play on both ends. He's being taken advantage of on the opposite end.
"Once the rookies play six or seven minutes, they can wind down a little bit. We've played 26 games now, which amounts to a college season. So this is new territory for them.''
Gordon's foul troubles are another concern.
''We know we need him in the game to score,'' Skiles said. "But two or three of his fouls were just standing around on defense not being aware, and they put fouls on him. As for Carter's foul that put him out of the game, Ben just did not see that coming. This is the kind of growing pain we must endure as we play [the rookies] and other teams pick on them.''
they were so fucking close to beating the Nets last week, until he fouled out
