Found November 20, 2006 on 20 Second Timeout:
TEAMS: Chicago Bulls
PLAYERS: Andres Nocioni
Did the Chicago Bulls eat their Thanksgiving turkey early? Other than Andres Nocioni, the Bulls played offense on Sunday night as if they were in a tryptophan induced daze, shooting 27-80 from the field (.338) and losing 82-72 to the L.A. Lakers. Nocioni, who scored a career-high 30 points and made his first six three pointers, shot 11-22, meaning that the rest of the Bulls shot .276. The Lakers hardly burned up the nets (28-70, .400) but they ground out the victory to move to 7-3.

    I know the Bulls' offense hasn't really come to life thus far this season, but I still have quite a bit of confidence in them. Once the season progresses and they get used to playing with each other, I think the shots will go down- it's just a matter of time. Gordon, Nocioni, and Hinrich are too good of shooters to have poor shooting percentages all season long,
  • I agree that the Bulls will eventually turn things around offensively--but the Lakers game was brutal. It looked like they were using those smaller rims that teams employ in rebounding drills. In recent years the Bulls have been much better in the second half of the season than the first, so it is not surprising that they are having a slow start--plus they added a lot of new players and they are in the middle of their annual "circus" trip.
