I'm sitting here laughing my butt off as I look at some of the Bulls' stats. I don't think any of them quite make me laugh more than their FG% : Brand : 40.3% Mercer : 37.2% Artest : 38.7% Fizer : 36.2% El-Amin : 35.1% Benjamin: 34.8% Hoiberg : 50.0% ! Miller : 33.3% Drew : 40.9% Guyton : 36.8% Crawford: 12.5% ?! That has got to be the worst lineup of FG %ages ever assembled on one team. They're a couple of ticks away from having only 1 person on their entire team shooting above 40%. ------------------ -------------- Did you know? Derrick Chievous sucked. It's true. -- from the ClutchCity.net "Did You Know" sidebar
The question will be (temporarily) answered on Thursday 11/30 when the Bulls visit the Hawks for the "Last Place Bowl". The Hawks are shooting a respectable 46.7%. The Bulls will have to shoot over Mt. Mutombo - Atlanta by 10. Hey, is that Bryce Drew second in % shooting? Actually, Drew is shooting 57.1% from 3pt range(!). Not sure how serious Bryce's injury is. Perhaps a Drew-Maloney showdown in Atlanta? They also have Brad Miller in the IR. Did not signing a Top Tier FA hurt the teams psyche? I still think Fizer is out of position as a SF. Looks like the Bulls will be a Top 3 Lotto team and the Rockets' pick from the Drew deal will be the two second rounders. (One of which may satisfy the obligation to Dallas for the Langhi-Najera deal). Sorry for meandering post - sort of matches the Bulls' play though! ----------------- GATER [This message has been edited by GATER (edited November 25, 2000).]
While El-Amin is talented, he is new to the NBA. With Drew injured, da Bulls have to go with El Amin and Guyton at the point. They are no Francis by a long shot. Makes you realize how special Francis really is. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
The bulls have looked better lately but this has to be one of the worst teams I've seen. They are so inexperienced it's scary. Their average age is below 23 years old!!!Brand has been unimpressive this year and is forcing things, Fizer is overrated, crawford is too weak and inexperienced, mercer is too streaky, and their bench is the worst in the league. Funny as it may seem, Bryce Drew may actually really help this team when he gets back from injury. I seriously think they could break the all time record for losses. The hawks are way better than them ------------------ www.truebballfansite.homestead.com
Even with Vince out, they couldn't beat Toronto. That is sad. Mango ------------------ Test Your NBA Trade Ideas 1. Put new topics in the proper forum. Things happening in the rest of the NBA 2.

I don't think Khalid El Amin could even make the roster of another NBA team....maybe the Clips or GS. He is not very good, and if he doesn't watch his weight, BYE BYE KHALID! He reminds me of a young Sherman Douglas with less shooting range and a lot less court vision. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Khalid has his weight waaaaaaaay under control and has actually gained some muscle in his time with the Bulls. His play has been extremely good at times, and downright rookie at others. He has a future in this league. He's a poor defender, but a surprisingly good scorer---especially if you double off of him. He's no stranger to 14+ point games. The Bulls are just so loaded at the point... ------------------
I don't think the Bulls are "loaded" at any position, much less one that is played by two or 3 rookies. ------------------ "There are two players carrying the Rockets right now. Hakeem and Olajuwon." Isiah Thomas
hhhmmm Fizer's FG % looks similar to KTs Yet folx LLLOOOOVVVEEEE FIZER Rocket River ------------------
Whazzat means is that time at the point is limited. JC needs his minutes, and the Bulls are trying to decide between Guyton, Drew and El-Amin as the other guard to keep. Tough call. No one expected El-Amin to make the roster or else we woulda left drew with you... If we move 'em now we'll get peanuts back and it'll look like we got ripped off in a season or two because all of them can play. Kinda like Shammond in Seattle... ------------------
