Day 129 of 170: Dwyane Wade Just Burst into Flames

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 10:34:45 -0500

Line of the Night: Dwyane Wade (1.43) continues his absolutely insane play over the last month with 35 points (sadly, he didn't go over 40), 16 assists, 6 boards, and 2 steals as Miami beat the Suns 135-129. If he keeps this up, we're going to have a new number one overall fantasy player very, very soon.

Pickup of the Night: March 26

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:26:34 -0500

JOSH BOONE 26 points on 9-12 from the field. 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. I only wish he didn't shoot 50% from the line in 16 shots. 16 SHOTS!!! I'm glad I picked him up recently since he has been playing a lot more in the power forward role. He definitely validated the 32 minutes he got tonight. I'm just hoping he does not cost me free throws at the end of the week.

Thabo of Destiny

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:19:22 -0500

His tattoo says it all - Thabo Sefolosha was meant to be here. In the USA, in the NBA... even on the Bulls. And with Scott Skiles gone, he's finally getting the playing time to prove himself.

Let's jump on the Bulls bandwagon. Chicago 108 Heat 66.

Wed, 01 Nov 2006 04:00:32 -0500

The Bulls trounced on the Miami Heat tonight, as predicted. Their defense was absolutely stellar, holding the pitiful Heat to 66 points shooting 38.5% from the field. On the other end, all 12 players scored for the Bulls, led by Kirk Heinrich and Chris Duhon with 26 and 20 points respectively Rookies Tyrus Thomas and Thabo Sefolosha played great in limited action for their career debuts. Thomas played 17 minutes, getting 5 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks (once rejecting Shaquille O'neal). He shot 1-4 from the field and got to the line 6 times banking in two of them. Sefolosha played 11 minutes and had a hot hand hitting all 4 of his shots from the field and all 3 freethrows. He racked up 11 points in the 4th quarter garbage time.
