I’m Reading:Lack of ‘D’ Should Be No Surprise, Jerome James Has Found A Role
Matt Mchale of BullsBytheHorns does a recap for last nights game between the Bulls and the Mavericks. Without much surprise, the Bulls look much more like a “Bullock” than an actual “Bull”. Ninety percent of the piece I agree with, except for this quote:
“The Bulls are not good enough without Joakim Noah. Not defensively, not offensively, not in any way. Even with him, they’re merely above average.”
Merely above average? The Bulls deserve a little more credit than their getting. Make no mistake, I’m not calling the Bulls a title contender, but the Bulls had some positive aspects working for them. For one, they actually D up. Something you can’t say for a lot of teams. But a player of Joakim’s caliber has a lot to do with the way they approach the game. The Bulls are at their best when they get out and run, something you can’t do if your taking the ball from out of bounds or if your not rebounding. You can’t have one without the other, and without Joakim the Bulls have been exposed.
The performance of Derrick Rose may serve as cosmetic cover-up, but as the Bulls have now lost their last four it’s starting to look grim for all with hopes in the Windy City.
Jerome James “The Heavy DJ”
This should gas you up. Jerome James, bench warming hall of famer, has earned himself his most prominent NBA role according to Mike McGraw. Jerome James is being paid 6.6 million dollars this season to be the DJ in the locker room, in charge of all things music. But this isn’t Jay-Z or Nas, this is on some weird stuff….
Jerome James:
“I try to create a calm atmosphere”. “Flip (Murray) was with me in Seattle, we had a rule there, No cursing in the lyrics”
Ok, not only are you a waste of 6.6 mill, but your content on turning the remainder of the roster into a bunch of pansies. Thank you Jerome for what has been a productive tenure with the Bulls..
