Just before the game, a 3-way deal between Chicago, Sacramento and LA fell through. Much to my delight, Wallace, Deng, Gordon & Hinrich started on the floor against the Nets. We dodged another Kobe bullet. As usual, we lost to the Nets on their homecourt, but was just glad to see the team out there, intact and deep. Out of all the offseason moves, we just lost PJ Brown & Malik Allen. In return, we got Joe Smith and Joakim Noah... some good improvements. The rest of the guys are still around.
For whatever reason, the Bulls continue to have trouble with Jason Kidd and the Nets. They were able to shutdown Carter, but everyone else stepped up. Gordon caught fire late in the game and forced an overtime, but the Nets were better in the clutch.
It's extremely important that the Bulls don't get off to a slow start this year especially because of the Bryant rumors. I'm afraid that a trade might go through if they're not doing well after the first 15 games or so. The Sixers are next on Friday.
