    After Bullard's comments about thankfully we play the Clips next he backs it up going 5-11 from the field for 14 points. He also handed out 5 assists and pulled down 7 boards. Not a bad game.

    Yeah...better give him a urine test. I think he's been hanging around Lewis Lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins. [​IMG]

    I knew he would make me eat my words. He must have read my post. I'm glad I could help out.

    When it counts, don't count on him...though. Just bench him.

    Thanks for noticing, it seems it is more popular to run him down then give him credit.

    He is not in the class of Franis, Anderson, Mobley but he does serve a need on the team and IS a HOUSTON ROCKET, seems we could back him also.

    Hey, even though my dismay with Bull is well publicized by now, I just had a thought. This may very well be his best all around game EVER. This is probably the closest he has ever come to a triple-double. If, in fact, he did read my post, then I should criticize him more often. So, look for my daily Bull bashing [​IMG]! However, he didn't have a single steal or blocked shot which goes in line with his all offense shooting camp. It's good to teach them at a young age that all they need to get to the NBA is a three point shot(and to grow tall) [​IMG]. At his height, it is disheartening that he doesn't block more shots....even if he can't jump very high. I think those "Jimmy" training shoes on that episode of Seinfeld may help in that area [​IMG](you know...Jimmy can jump real high(i.e. Bull)).

    But, give the guy some credit...he can occassionally put up some decent offensive numbers(and the players like pushing him around in practice [​IMG]). It continues to be my wish that Bull work on his defense. Same goes to the rest of the Rox because the only teams we seem to keep down lately are the less-than-zero teams like the Clips. It is disheartening because we all know we are better if we just put forth some defensive intensity and effort. And, defense creates offense and the running game so let's hope we improve. Only then will we be a good team.
    Why don't we ever run any successful full-court presses? The opposing teams always force turnovers on us when they use it.

    The Bull does get more blocks per minute than Kenny Thomas.
