Sixers beat writer Marc Narducci on tonight's game : There are many differences right now between the 76ers and Chicago Bulls, but the biggest has to do with the respective motors of the two teams. The Sixers motor never stops and the Bulls don't appear to be playing with much conviction these days. That sure was the appearance after the Sixers ran over Chicago, 121-99 on Wednesday, ...

How sad is this: last season the Bulls were where the Sixers wanted to be , and this year the Sixers (6pm CST, WCIU) are where the Bulls want to be, and that's the shallow goal of 7th seed in the Eastern Conference. Actually, the Sixers have been winning so much that they're the 6th seed (and a half game out of 5). I read this from Roland Laird today , a recent Q&A with Sixers ...

[ed. note: From the diaries. I heard this
podcast myself yesterday and am glad Sports2 has picked
up the slack - seems like a recent theme - and did a write-up. I've heard (both from primary and secondary sources, although I have even fewer sources ...
I've been out of town the past few days, and during that time was in a state of blissful ignorance in terms of the Bulls on-court performance. After reading about them (and yes, I went through both entertaining game threads), it seems like they just crapped the bed against a far superior Spurs team, and pulled the Boylan Sabotage Special against Indiana. No matter, I've been ...

[ed. note: From the diaries. Yes I'll get
back to writing soon, but why bother when BigD
nails it: what's with the double standard? It's almost as if Paxson had no idea that his players may one day need discipline, so he's just making them up as he ...
[ed. note: from the diaries. Kudos to Sam Smith for being the first beat coverage that made the connection between small lineups and getting pounded in 4th quarters. Looks like it happened again Saturday, a game I happily missed. -Matt] The Tribune has an article here about the pathetic state of the bulls. One sentence that really got me was this: With the Bulls then playing three guards -- ...

The Bulls are 2-1 against the Pacers this season. The Pacers have won three straight are are 1/2 game ahead of the Bulls. Gooden and Sefolosha missed practice yesterday but hopefully will play. Hinrich hopes to play but is a game-time decision. The still present, but dwindling playoff hopes are painfully transitioning to summer improvement, look-forward-to-next-year season. ...

Like a cockroach surviving a nuclear explosion, the Bulls are somehow still in the hunt for the 8th playoff spot in the East. They'll try to move to within a game of the Nets and Hawks for the 8th spot tonight when they take on the Spurs (7:00 Central, Comcast SportsNet). Despite the early starting time, the game will apparently not be on TNT. That might be a good thing, ...

Boylan tried so hard to blow that game.
I mean, he was really gunning for it. He
even went 4 guards (Hinrich, Gordon, Hughes, Thabo) at one point. In the meantime, the 24 point halftime lead went down to nine, but the Bulls hit some open threes and ...
[ed note: Thanks to wjb1492 for the game preview. This is great stuff. By the way, I'm one of the 'lucky' ones that's referenced at the end. -Matt] With more than 80% of the season gone now, and the Bulls barely clinging to that 10th spot in the East while still talking about making the playoffs, what is left to say about this team? We've all heard that stat about the Bulls not having ...

Bah. Usually, as this season has progressed (or digressed), by each next game I'm back on the horse. That Sixers loss did me in though , like the Washington one should've. Would a win on the road over New Orleans make up for collapsing at home? Meh, maybe, but I've finally learned that it'll only mean we're just that much closer to seeing the next Boylan-led debacle. No thanks. The ...

rampant speculation (and in the case of the Sun-Times, unintentionally hilarious idiocy) speculating on the fate of the Cubs and Wrigley Field. Not so ...

The Bulls trumped their 2nd half collapse against
Washington a couple weeks ago by doing the same
in only one quarter. An 18 point lead, just gone. They gave up 40 points in the quarter. Boylan's miffed , of course: Giving up 40 points in the ...
SHOWDOWN. I heard radio reports that Thabo is active for tonight. There's also word that Andre Miller may be out , however he has a 431 games played streak, so I doubt he sits. If you get bored here, Kelly Dwyer is liveblogging the game over at Yahoo! . This is a must-win for the pseudo-important 7th seed. And the Bulls are coming off a long-layoff and are at home. Judging by this season, ...

After a pleasantly surprising 2-2 stretch that could've
easily gone 0-4 , the Bulls are now only
a half-game out of the 8th playoff seed. But unfortunately during that time the Sixers have stayed hot, and as a 7th seed they're now 4.5 games ...

[ed. note: From the diaries. I got nothin
for a couple days, and there's been a flurry
of Noah stories (linked in the comments as well) in that time, so it seems natural. -Matt] We Love Joakim; why doesn't anyone else? Anne Stein from MSNBC did an ...

Thabo's back tonight , although he'll surely be
in 'earn your way' mode. Which makes sense, even
if it hasn't made sense in other cases. The Jazz are oddly bad (14-19) on the road, so there's hope. Despite their Sloan-ness, they are only average ...

Jim Boylan gives his best Alexander Haig impression
to KC Johnson, who not only got Paxson to
say Boylan's "done a good job", but one-upped him with his own opinion that it's been, in fact, a "very very good job". And while ...
Paxson: Trade will open up frontcourt time for our young players. Boylan: ::extends middle finger:: Either Pax is failing to properly jam his hand up what should be a puppet coach, or he endorses this kind of 'earned' time.

[ed. note: Thanks to chgobr for today's game preview. -Matt] Angles to today's Detroit game. 1- You cannot ignore the shocking possibility of the Bull's sweeping the 2007-08 Detroit series with a win tonight. The Bulls have won 5 straight regular season games against a Detroit team that is 23-5 at home. 2- Motivational bounce-back from the ESPN tongue-lashing. During the ...
