Seeing Red

I've had a long day of last minute holiday shopping.  After a day like this one, its always nice to just come home, relax, and listen to my favorite song.  The music I'm listening to now has been moving up the charts all month and continues to play strong.  I never get tired of it...the Bulls are blowing out the Hornets as I'm typing.  Yeah!

After a beautiful run that ended against the Knicks last night, Chicago is starting a new streak.  In that run, the Bulls overtook the Cavs for second place in the division and is still in striking distance of first.

As usual Noccioni is playing his butt off as is Ben Gordon.  Although they haven't been a scoring threat, Hinrich and Duhon have been contributing in the assist and hustle columns of the score sheet.  After taking the first half off, Ben Wallace and Luol Deng have asserted themselves in the second with strong defensive play and toughnosed offensive play.

OH MY!  Tyrus Thomas just jumped out of the gym dunking a long three attempt that was way short.  The Bulls and their fans have to love the flashes from he and Sefolosha.  This might well be the dynamic duo that Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry should have been.  However, that is for the future.  Here and now, the Bulls are...whoa!  Sefolosha just stole the ball on the run, ran down the length of the court, and reverse jammed it.  BEAUTIFUL!!! 

Where was I?  Oh yeah...while we wait for Tyrus and Thabo to be the headliners of group in years to come, the Bulls are developing their sweet new sound with a solid team effort using all the tools of the trade. 

Alright, family calls so I have to run...it is the holidays.  Happy Holidays, everybody.
