As I said when I wrote the preview column they are popular at the beginning of the year. Good for eveyone they actually play the games. Our sorpresa of the Bulls has turned out to be more of the kind of shock you get when someone you thought would be fun to get drunk with passes out on your couch and pisses all over it. Not the good kind. The Bulls have to pull the trigger and get someone who can either motivate the team differently or get a vet that can right the ship with some consistent shooting that is contagious without giving up their core. Hell maybe I am not even right about the core...
The team that Dusty and I have affectionately taken to calling the Ball Sacs has put together some damn good games. They beat the Spurs,the Rockets, and the Jazz. They pulled away from the Jazz with Kevin Martin out for the fourth quarter. This is phenomenal. I am beginning to wonder if Reggie Theus consistently paints the visitors locker room so that the dizzying noxious fumes from all the fresh paint and paint thinner make the other team forget that they should be beating the ever living shit out of the Ball Sacs. I really don't understand how this team has gone .500 over it's last ten games. This is a team that has John Salmons playing extensive minutes and making them look smart for it. Beno Udrih is one of the few guys that the Spurs have made a personnel mistake with in the last few years. The Ball Sacs might be able to play, I cannot help but wonder how this has happened or how long it can continue to happen.
The good surprise this year would be the Orlando Magic with the beta version of Shaq. The Rashard Lewis move looked Ok at best given the massive price tag, but no one could have predicted that they would start this hot. The thing is Howard looks like he can keep this up, and really there is no reason that he should not. There was a debate when this guy came out whether or not he was going to be better than Emeka Okafor, and now I don't think anyone would debate this now. Howard is damn good, but more than that I think this is Stan Van Gundy giving Pat Riley the ol' eat shit and die for taking my title routine. Stan Van Gundy is taking this roster that petered out big time last year plus Rashard Lewis and making them look like a legit contender in the East. This team plays pretty well against the West actually. They beat the Warriors in OT last night in what was one of the best games of the regular season so far. Capt'n Jack deserves his own story.
Denver I don't think I was too far off on, and they could continue to play at a high level if Melo doesn't flip shit and sucker punch someone this year.
A funny note on the Ball Sacs, err... Kings vs Jazz game. One of the commentators referred to Memo Okur as a Turkey product. He is from Turkey, but I would love to see him sponsor something from Jenny-O or Pilgrim's Pride.
More to come... The Captain signing off.

I really think that ben wallace is the main reason the bulls suck so hard that they could sell spit to a sperm bank.
all he does is gross more than anyone else on the team, and that non-offense playing fro headed hoe soaks up 1/6th of their payroll.
away with big ben. this solves the bulls problems.
