JRich getting burned on the dribble by Heinscrub leads to dunk by that skinny scrub Noah who slams one over Crash whose already left the building. Fan-tastic.

I was afraid of Noah around draft time because I thought there were better prospects available for a marginal risk vs. reward... but we could REALLY use him on the Bobcats.

I'm convinced that Vincent does not have a clue what he is doing. Why do you leave GW in at PF when Noah is killing him on the block! Put in Mohammed at center and let Okafor play Noah at PF. Problem solved. Vincent did not want to switch from his new "small" lineup even when it didn't work. Great coaching, moron!

Noah has not been very impressive yet he looks like shaq today. Crash is just too small. What about joe smith? By the way now that okofar is playing center, how is that looking?

Okofar is not worth the $12m he was offered last season. No team in there right mind will offer him that after this season.

This team looks lost. They are playing with no passion.

It is obvious Nazr plays better when he is starting. why not start him because it is obvious playing power forward is not okafor's problem. I think Okofar put himself on the spot but he cant deliver so now he is pressing.

It seems these players are walking all over vincent. They are not listening because they have no respect for him. He was definately the wrong choice to coach this team.

Disappointing after the Indy game, and being the new year...

Good win for the Bulls after that tough Magic loss

Okafor was playing like crap before Nazr arrived. Nothing has changed except for Raymond sucking the life out of this team with his unbelievably sh*tty play.

And yes I do agree with you on Vincent, horrible choice for head coach at this crucial developmental stage of our players.

I dont know what happened but at some point in the game they just gave up. Even the bulls comentators talked about it. Its almost like they fight for a while then say oh well we tried.

Then why take Nazr out of the starting line up? This coach whines to the public for a post up player so okafor wont have to play center then he finally gets his guy and benches him.

And if you can get gasol for okafor, why not do it. Atleast paul gives you offense and rebounding. Okafor has not been doing it offensively or defensively. Whats going to happen after he gets his fat contract.?

What the hell?

Gasol gives you rebounding, but Okafor doesn't? Gasol hasn't averaged double-digits in rebounding EVER. Okafor came into the league averaging 10+ rebounds/game, and he continues to do so.

So, you're left with Gasol's offense, and that would be nice, if not for our "life-sucking" PGs, which will probably drop his averages like a rock, too.

I am not saying Okafor doesn't give you rebounds. But what happened with his defense and offense? I do agree with you about felton by the way. The coach needs to go too. Maybe change the coach and draft a pg before making other drastic changes. I am just so confuse.

Vncent absolutely has to start Nazr...This experiment with McInnis is not working...Wallace has struggled on defense against bigger guys. Plus if you give up Hermann/Brezec for a guy, play him!!!!

Yes, change the PG and coach before discarding players that looked extremely promising, and that few people complained about in the previous seasons. When, instead of leadership, you have a whole lot of incompetence at the coaching and PG positions, it's enough to make players look worse, and when it's been going on for as long as it has this season, it's enough to affect all parts of their game because they even look hopeless out there at times, and that never was the case in previous seasons.
