Game Preview # 5: Bulls at Cleveland Cavaliers

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:14:46 -0500

Thanks to wjb1492 for today's game preview. My initial thoughts on this game is that the Murder Train A Comin'. Then I figured that the Bulls do have a chance to out-hustle and out-run an especially immobile Cavs team. Then I figured that without Tyrus Thomas they don't really have this especially athletic roster conducive to running. Hinrich, Salmons, Taj, Miller, gimpy Rose.... even though Deng is effective in transition he's not a superior athlete. It's basically ju...

So maybe Thomas is sick, local media

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:47:51 -0500

Now that Tyrus Thomas missed Wednesday's practice and didn't fly to Cleveland with the team, those covering the team* have toned down linking Tyrus's flu symptoms with any issues Tyrus has had recently with VDN or pseudo-coach Lindsey Hunter (a whole separate issue, that). Everything published Thursday morning mentions Thomas's illness as just an illness. But just days before, it was instead 'the flu', as Sun-Times beat writer John Jackson called it. Si...

What Lindsey Hunter Should Have Told Tyrus Thomas

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:39:33 -0500

Now that Ben Gordon is gone, what will we argue about around here? Oh that’s right, we’ve still got Mr. Lightning Rod of Controversy Tyrus Thomas. Ever since Pax drafted him, he has proven to be nothing more than waste of god-given talent. Although its still bit early to say he’s busted, I think we [...]

Bulls elect captains, and more Bulls season predictions

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:45:22 -0500

The players voted captains for this season (ht: Chicagoist, of all places), and your winners are holdovers Hinrich and Deng, and new captain...Jannero Pargo Lindsey Hunter [I swear that post originally said Pargo]. This process and result never manages to get less lame. I know they're mostly in charge of talking to the officials, but is it that crazy for the captains to perhaps include your best player (Rose) , or the actual vocal defensive leader (Noah)? And this raises the Lindsey Hun...

Who are the Bulls camp free agents, and should we care?

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:53:14 -0500

With the Bulls going into camp with only 13 guaranteed contracts (as did most NBA teams, though none quite as profitable), and with a few minor injuries already popping up, the unsigned FAs on the roster may be more important than originally planned. And 'important' could merely mean 'get through these mandatory preseason games', though with Aaron Gray out for 6 weeks, and Lindsey Hunter really only signed to be a high-paid assistant, someone could actually make the team....

Bulls Re-Sign PG Hunter, And It Means More Than You Think

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:35:34 -0500

The Chicago Bulls have just re-signed veteran PG Lindsey Hunter to a one-year deal worth the veteran's minimum of roughly $1.3 million. Hunter, 38, didn't see a lot of minutes last season (9.5 minutes per game), and he doesn't figure to see many this season either. The Bulls like Hunter's presence as a mentor for Derrick Rose, and they like the leadership he provides in the locker room.So we'll give the guy the bare minimum to essentially act as a coach and occasionally pl...

Bulls Re-Sign Hunter

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:12:05 -0500

Bulls Re-Sign Hunter [From the FanShots. He's the highest paid coach on the team. But if his role is mainly to teach, why are we giving him a roster spot and getting even closer to the luxury tax? Who knows! I guess Lindsey Hunter is now a 'made guy'' in The Org. -ed.] Whoop de doo.

Lindsey Hunter is in huge trouble

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:40:24 -0500

When word came out that Lindsey Hunter was being investigated by the FBI, most Detroiters chalked it up to "wrong person" or "just a bad business partner." But now it seems certain that Hunter's company did indeed commit real estate and mortgage fraud of some kind. Ralph Roberts, a nationally recognized Mortgage Fraud analyst, had this to say to Marketwatch.

Detroit Pistons guard Lindsey Hunter is under FBI investigation for a real estate scandal. The victim is a $35,000 a year public school employee. If the allegations are true, Hunter is a first-rate d-bag.
