Bulls Fire Scott Skiles

Too early, in my opinion. After a rough start, they've gone .500 in December with a fairly tough schedule (Boston twice, Dallas, San Antonio this week). I think they should have waited until the all star break and looked at where they were. This team will find themselves in the playoffs in the spring, with or without Skiles.

IMO, John Paxson is looking to make some deals at the trading deadline to improve the team through the draft.

I'm a Bulls fan and I love seeing this group of grinders. But that is their problem. They don't have any superstars to command a double team. They have a chance to win when their jumpers are going in and hitting their foul shots. Unfortunately, some nights the basket has a lid on it.

Ben Gordon and Luol Deng would be the 6th man on about half of the teams in the league. Kirk Heinrich would be a backup on several teams. Unfortunately, they're starters because the Bulls don't have anything better.
