Bulls Blow It in Overtime, Lose To Utah Jazz

Whadda ya know, the Bulls lose another close one, Ben Gordon has another break-out game with 35 points and nobody else really shows up. Granted, I only read the box score on this one so I really dont' know, but if my statistical interpretation are correct (and they usually are), that's what it looks like.

The good news is that the New York Knicks lost again yesterday to the Houston Rockets, giving them the second worst record in the Eastern Conference. (The Bulls get their First-Round Draft pick this year)

Speaking of the New York Knicks, they just acquired former Bull Jalen Rose, for former Bull Antonio Davis (who also went back to his former team the Toronto Raptors, where he was before he was traded to the Bulls in a deal that included Jalen Rose). Ironic or something huh?

Anyway, has anybody else noticed that Isiah Thomas has re-united Jamal Crawford, Jalen Rose and Eddy Curry, all of who played together for the Chicago Bulls 2 years ago. We saw how that turned out. What the fuck is Isiah Thomas thinking about. He has tons of talent now, but the team has no chemistry and no identity. He has plenty of trade bait now but I doubt he does anything smart with it. It seems like he just keeps loading up his team with his favorite offensive players in the league, in hopes that they can simply outscore their opponent, or at least win some NBA Skill Challenges during All-Star weekend in 2 weeks. If Isiah Thomas was building the Harlem Globetrotters (Yes, even David Lee is included in this), he would be the GM of the year, but he's not. He needs to build a team that can beat the Pistons, Spurs, or even the Heat, and that's not happening.

Anyway, as I was saying, the Bulls lost to the Jazz in overtime. To make things worse, the Jazz were without Deron Williams, Gordon Giricek, and of course, you guess it...Carlos Boozer.

P.S. Yes, that is Luc Longley, and yes, Greg Ostertag is still on the Jazz (after a random stint with the Sacramento Kings of course).
