UnstoppaBULLS - (9-2) - Ben's Pen (a rookie diary) ready

by **Ursher-Jon-&-Luda** on Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:42 am

Started with Andrew's 1.08 Uninjured Rosters
Level: Superstar
10 min quarters
All games played by me

I played the first 3 games before deciding I would post here
Here are my results...

I lost @ Indiana on a bull**** 3/4 court shot at the buzzer by Tinsley.

Eddy Curry has been the man. Averaging 25.7 points and 13 rebounds. And most importantly, he's been dunking on everybody.

Stats after 9 games. Record 7-2.

by **Ursher-Jon-&-Luda** on Mon Mar 21, 2005 5:13 pm

EDIT: a few errors in the newspaper story, the Bulls are only 8-2 not 10-2. Kirk Hinrich had 5 steals, not 3.

Good deals, and damn cheers to Okafor on 44 points :shock:

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm hoping you're enjoying this. I'm enjoying the games and posting results. Trying to think of something else I can do to spice it up some more. Any ideas are welcome. Also, I was hoping someone might be able to create some sweet alternative jersey for me. These trades have been working very well. I will be tough to beat. And with the trade of Davis I have tons of cap room.

What's happenin'. This is Ben Gordon and I'm gonna be here each and every week for the rest of the season. In this diary I will log my week as I SEE it, FEEL it, and LIVE it. These (as Usher put it) are my confessions.

November 21-27, 2004
Sunday we traveled to LA to take on the Lakers. I was extremely nervous to be taking on Kobe for the first time. I wasn't sure what he'd be like, if I could talk to him (or stop him!). He was extremely quiet during the game and seemed as if he had a lot on his mind. He mumbled a few things about being a rookie when he'd score on me, but he was pretty quiet. We got off to an early lead and that took a lot of pressure off of me. I knew that if we could get a big enough advantage Kobe would start to force things a little.
Emeka had an awesome game and so did Eddy. We won big and I had a positive first experience vs. Kobe. I'm thrilled to have Emeka here with me. My comfort level has gotten so much better since he arrived.

Monday we moved on to Phoenix. Scotty Sky (What I call coach) had us very focused on this game. He didn't want us to be too content with how we played them in Chi-town. We beat them by 19 at home but now we were headed to their place. Steve Nash is just flat out tough and so is Q Rich. Joe Johnson really has improved as well. And anytime you can play a team with Amare and hang in there you should be happy. These guys are just flat out talented across the board. Man we battled through this one. It was close from wire to wire. The difference was Omeka. He was a man possessed! 44 points and hitting 21 out of 24 shots. You gotta be kidding me. My boy is crazy good! About half way through this game I realized I should just feed the big fella and let him go to work. I had 6 assists and I'm sure at least 5 were thanks to him. Well to say the least, awesome game! Big Bulls win 113-112

On The Road Again...
Tuesday we traveled over to Utah and had a short practice. Since we had the day off Scotty Sky just ran us through Utah's stuff and gave us a little heads up to a scouting report on them. Boozer is tough! Anyways, after practice Kirk, Ed, Emeka and I headed over to Pizza Hut for some sweet dinner. Love Pizza Hut by the way. Maybe if I blow up they'll want me to endorse them. Wouldn't mind doing a commercial with that Jessica Simpson or even Miss Piggy.

Wednesday. Game against the Jazz. Wow, these guys are struggling. They couldn't get it going at all and our defense seemed to get better. Feels good to blow somebody out. We gonna celebrate, we ain't got a game til' Saturday! Figured out that getting it to 'Meka and Ed is a good idea. Got myself 8 assists tonight!

Friday. GM Scherer visited today and let us now that we had a couple of new players and that he had to trade away Frank and Jannero and had to let go of Adrian. I'll miss those fellas. I was excited that we got some shooters in Nachbar and Bremer. Vroman is a damn funny big man too! I talked to GM Scherer for awhile and was impressed by what he told me about his plans and goals for our team. I'm excited to be part of an organization that is building around talented young fellas like myself, Eddy, Kirk, and 'Meka. I love this organization!

Saturday. It was a great couple of days off but now we gotta focus on winning our last road game on this trip. I'm anxious to see LeBron and how he carries himself. He is playing well, but the Cavs can't seem to get it going. They only have one win. Well LeBron seemed as if he wanted to get his teammates involved. After while he got more agressive and started to score some points. But it was too late. 7-0 on this road trip. It was awesome. I'm loving this team. Someone told me that everybody on team scored tonight. My man Nachbar got himself 5 3's. That a kid!

See y'all next week.

Thanks for the positive support.

I plan on being here for lots of "virtual" years. I have to balance this with schoolwork and regular work as well. But I will be here. Again, any creative ideas are welcome and I will try to make anything work. (Y)
