For one, it confirmed as bogus the idea that Shaq can just show up for the playoffs and dominate at will after sleepwalking through the regular season. Two, Skiles should be getting more attention as an elite coach. The Bulls may be a couple players away from being a true contender, but Skiles probably gets more out of this team than anyone else could.</p> http://chicagoist.com/2006/04/28/bulls_lower_the_heat.php#comment-263154 http://chicagoist.com/2006/04/28/bulls_lower_the_heat.php#comment-263154 Comments Fri, 28 Apr 2006 10:16:22 -0600 <p>Benjy - You know, no one here seems to really care about the Bulls, at least not enough to comment on articles about them, but I'm glad that you guys file Bulls articles whenever something significant happens with the team. I mean this sincerely. The Bulls are part of the fabric of the city, so no media source that claims to offer a glimpse into daily life in Chicago should ignore the city's sports. Sports may be overemphasized as part of the bread and circuses atmosphere that permeates American society. That doesn't mean there is no place for them. Plus, I know I check out Chicagoist sister sites all the time, so I imagine other people do the same. Thanks to Jordan, people everywhere know the Bulls, so including them in Chicagoist, even if the coverage is sometimes ignored, offers a sense of continuity when folks from afar get curious about what's happening in Chicago today. Keep it up...</p> http://chicagoist.com/2006/04/28/bulls_lower_the_heat.php#comment-263152 http://chicagoist.com/2006/04/28/bulls_lower_the_heat.php#comment-263152 Comments Fri, 28 Apr 2006 10:12:50 -0600 <p>The Bulls have a bright future ahead but not in this series. Yes they defended brilliantly against Shaq's free throws (he was 0 for 6 from the stripe), but try not to read too much into the Heat's abysmal night. Only Jason Williams played well, everyone else lost their cool. No way that happens again Sunday. The Miami Herald's columnist sums it up well: "Thursday was an aberration, not a trend. Consider the Bulls the blind-folded person up against the wall, and Miami the firing squad that somehow had its rifles jam up on the kill shot."</p>
