29 Days Until Pitchers and Catchers
Good god man, you call yourself an NBA team? What has happened to the Bulls!!??
We are in full fledged basketball freakout here in Chicago this week. With the Bears no where near the playoffs and hockey a memory of distant decades, the Bulls are getting full attention and it is ugly.
If you have been busy paying attention to winning teams, apparently Joakim Noah nearly went Latrell Sprewell on an assistant coach. The team suspended him for a game and was ready to move on until team leaders Ben Wallace and Adrian Griffin called a closed door players meeting.
Ben Wallace came out of the room to announce the team had unanimously voted to suspend Noah for a second game. This is where is gets crazy - both Boylan and Paxton went along with the mutiny.
Feeling his leadership oats, Ben Wallace goes on to be inconsequential in losses to both Atlanta and Orlando.
It kills me to watch LaMarcus Aldridge succeeding while Tyrus Thomas sits on the bench and PJ Brown is out of the league while Tyson Chandler is averaging 31 moonball points per game for a playoff team. Ouch.

And it gets even better...last night after the Orlando game, the rookie Noah calls out Wallace for his lack of effort and Loul Deng has to step in between them to ease tensions.

On the Pistons, it seemed to me that Ben was a great leader by example, but not a great leader in the other senses. He could be a bit of a dufus at times, truth be told. He was a great Piston and I'll always be appreciative of what he did for Detroit, but I'm so grateful he didn't come back, even at the reduced rate Joe D. had on the table. He's running around with a fork in his back.
Hard to know what's up with Noah, he's a weird cat.

What a mess for Chi-Town. What a quick demise for an upcoming sure-shot
