In this article:
• Tom Bore Also Fired by Bulls; Red Kerr Relegated to Studio
• Even Worse, Stacy “KYP” King Moving into Color Role for WGN
• How are the Bulls and Its Fans Better Off?
In what is definitely a typically stupid move for a city in which a lot of sports announcers are sniveling, yes-men who are in the back pocket of old, stodgy and antiquated management (see the Cubs’ Len Kasper, Bears’ Jeff Joniak and Bulls’ Bill Wennington) and thus ensured job status for way too long, the Bulls fired one of the few solid, professional and … gasp respectable play-by-play men in the city in Wayne Larrivee this afternoon.

Los Angeles Clippers versus Chicago Bulls: Game Preview
Filed Under Previews & Reviews, Chicago Bulls | Leave a Comment
After losing to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night, the Chicago Bulls had a good 72 hours to stew about its bad start to the regular season. Here’s hoping the team is upset with the start and comes out looking to play tonight. The Bulls better be ready as the Clippers have been scoring in triple digits thus far this year without Elton Brand and Shaun Livingston.
Chicago is not playing a team like New Jersey, Philadelphia or Milwaukee that will go through prolonged offensive slumps and allow the Bulls to hang around. If the Bulls are slow and ineffective on defense, the Clippers could have a field day and run them out of the building.
Here’s hoping that rookie forward Joakim Noah, making his professional debut, can energize the Bulls. With that said, it’s time for the Bulls to Wake Up on the defensive end, as the lyrics from a song by one of the best bands around, The Walkmen, reveal.

Los Angeles Clippers 97, Chicago Bulls 91
Tonight’s game showed that the Bulls have sensed the immediacy of turning this thing around; however, it also fueled the fire of other’s questions about the validity of this team as a contender as currently assembled. With that said, the season is still too young to make any bold moves or predictions with this team.

Unseen Ray Allen Buzzer Beater in Overtime Ends Great Game
Well it sounded like a great ending to the NBA Game of the Day between the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors. With the Celtics leading by three points with seven seconds to go in overtime, Toronto point guard T.J. Ford hit a three to tie the game. After a Celtics timeout, Boston guard Ray Allen hit a three out of the corner as time expired to give the Green and White a 98-95 victory.
Unfortunately, Comcast Boston’s coverage of the game lost its video feed in the final 10 seconds of overtime, leaving us NBA League Pass viewers to listen to the audio. And before the highlights could be retrieved, League Pass cut out once the Celtics sent the game to its post-game studio.
With all the final dramatics considered and despite the fact that the final video wasn’t present, this game was indicative of Boston’s potential with the Big Three while also showing that the Raptors need to get more respect. Toronto is going to be a tough out in the playoffs.
