As far as I'm concerned, all that talk about Chicago being a legitimate title contender this year falls in the same category as the Pacers being a preseason favorite last year — sports writers trying to outsmart themselves simply because they're bored picking the usual teams. Remember his pouting in the midst of Detroit's incredible start last year? [back]"Ben Wallace's headband doesn't matter. Wallace's heist of Bulls funds does." [back]"Before this season started, Wallace in an ESPN interview blasted Saunders and commended all his former coaches, bringing giggles to all as Wallace had previously blasted them. He's an oversensitive, easily embarrassed, remote soul. I noticed him seeming to limp during the Friday game when he was benched and he was off for some MRI Sunday. His history, despite the supposed "warrior" mentality, is to come up with some small injury when things aren't going well to explain the issue, usually poor free-throw shooting."

You proved this summer that everyone has a price, and you're learning this season that ever choice has a consequence. Have fun counting all of your money, and here's to hoping your new team isn't completely gutted when they're forced to trade some of your promising young teammates to acquire that legitimate offensive threat down low they should have went after last summer. I mentioned this briefly in an Alley-Oop, but it deserves a full post. [back]Remember his pouting in the midst of Detroit's incredible start last year? [back]"Ben Wallace's headband doesn't matter.

He also scored 10 points to post his fourth double-double in his last five games, averaging 12 points and 15.2 rebounds per game in that span. He made some waves in the papers after complaining about his production earlier this month, but he's been a rock ever since.
