Congratulations to Kirk Hinrich on being elected team captain for the 4th straight year and to Luol Deng's first year. Hinrich continues to be the field commander and seems even more confident this year. I think it's a combination of time away from Team USA, getting married and powering up his body. Deng made a great leap in leadership ability when he became England's go-to-guy over the Summer and elevated the game of basketball in the eyes of the Brits.It was a relief to see Ben Gordon play in the last 2 preseason games. At the same time, the Bryant rumors have quieted down a bit. The Bulls looked great in their preseason closer last night. As usual, there were 5 players in double digits, spreading out the scoring. Hinrich was the hero with 20. Ben Wallace suffered a sprained ankle though. Hopefully he's not out too long. The Bulls can't afford to get off to a slow start again. They're in a tough division, especially since the Bucks were upgraded over the Summer with Yi Jianlian.
Luol Deng started up a blog for this year and Ben Gordon continues his. Check out the updated links in the right navigation, below the Tech Product Search.
