Chicago Bulls Gone Fishin'

Before I blog about teams that have gone fishin' for the summer J.R. Smith just pulled off an incredible dunk in the 4th quarter which is probably on YouTube about now. Now...the Bulls, Heat, Bobcats have all started their summer vacations with Chicago and Miami losing in five games while the Bobcats got swept by the Orlando Magic.

Last night The Chicago Bulls lost by 2 points to the Cleveland Cavaliers 96-84 which was probably the last game for Vinny Del Negro. If Jerry Reinsdorf paid attention he would clean house by firing John Paxon, Gar Foreman, and Vinny Del Negro. But since coaches are always the first to go Del Negro will probably be relieved of his duties by the weekend. Jokim Noah & Derrick Rose displayed that they're the new blood in the NBA with Derrick Rose potentially being the best point guard east of Steve Nash. When the real season begins July 1st, I hope Mark Jackson or Byron Scott is the Bulls coach and my team lands Wade, Stoudamire, Bosh, or Boozer. The future is bright for the madhouse on Madison.

The Cavaliers move on into the next round to face the Black Irish aka Boston Celtics. With Kevin Garnett healthy again, expect this series to go the distance but this time the Cavs moving on the Eastern Conference Finals. The winner between the Hawks or Bucks series will most likely get swept by the Magic in that round (Young Money aka Brandon Jennings in my Rookie of the Year). Side Note: Before the Hawks/Bucks game tonight Jamal Crawford receive his well deserved 6th man of the year trophy.

IT'S OFFICIAL BULLS LOOSE...AFTER LEADING BY 35

You're up by 35, shoot over 70%, no turnovers in the first half, then you blow the game and loose by 4. That's what happened to the Bulls tonight at the United Center against the Sacramento Kings tonight. When I wake up tomorrow morning, the first thing I hope to read is that Coach Del Negro has been let go replaced by Mark Jackson. After leading 79-44, the Bulls were outscored 58-19 and loose 102-98. Derrick Rose has never been a scorer but with the departure of Ben Gordon, Rose will have to dominate like Tim Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, and Isiah Thomas. Those guys were able to score and still distribute the ball.

That's all for now...Del Negro has to go!!!!!!!!
