Today’s Chicago Sun-Times reports that Indiana University is expected to contact Scott Skiles about potentially taking over the program:
Skiles was born in LaPorte, Ind., and led Plymouth High School to the 1982 state championship. He has maintained a house in Bloomington, Ind., where he is now and lives during the NBA offseason.

Bulls Fans, Have Fun With This
From today’s Philadelphia Inquirer:
Brown to the Bulls? An NBA source said yesterday that Sixers executive vice president Larry Brown has drawn interest as a candidate for the Chicago Bulls’ head coaching job.
The Bulls fired Scott Skiles on Dec. 24. Three days later, Jim Boylan was named interim head coach for the rest of the season. […]

Alumni Game - Florida v. Tennessee

Unless you’ve been following college ball since the era before the three-point shot, you might be surprised to know that Tennessee has actually produced about twice as many NBA players as Florida. Well before the Gators become a perennial national power and started consistently putting out pros in the 21st century, the […]

Josh Childress - He’s so underwhelming it’s scary. He does just enough to warrant a roster spot, and not quite enough to be a 4th forward (or a guard depending on eligibility) to […]

* Kevin Garnett scared the bejeezus out of Portland’s big men (read: Joel Przybilla) last night. “First, LaMarcus Aldridge got an earful, then Channing Frye, then Travis Outlaw, and Jarrett Jack, and Brandon Roy,” writes John Canzano. “And when Garnett saw Trail Blazers’ center Joel Przybilla foul Celtics’ teammate Paul Pierce, oh man, here was […]

The Bulls are Bad, “Experts” are Worse

Normally, we try to not pay any mind to “experts” who think they know everything there is to know about the game, even though they most likely have never even picked up a basketball. Sports radio and TV broadcasts are full of guys like this and in general, we like to just ignore […]

Joakim Noah - I picked him up. If you saw any of the Bulls game last night, you saw that Noah (and Joe Smith for that matter) are going to play huge roles in the Bulls turnaround. […]

There’s Always Room for Dallas

Players never want to admit it, but the Mavericks’ 20-piecing of the Warriors last night meant something to Dallas. Now they’re 2-0 against the team that took their Jell-O pudding cup at lunchtime last spring, and the Mavs reminded everyone that they’re gonna be around when the games start to really matter … […]

Identity Crisis

Part of the Pistons’ identity is that no one man out of their core group is any more valuable than the other, but yesterday they were hurting without Rasheed (knee) in the lineup. Having to use McDyess and Maxiell to stick Carlos Boozer, Detroit was helpless. Booz did whatever he wanted inside, putting […]

Despite a sprained ankle, Ben Wallace is expected to be on the court when Chicago opens its season in New Jersey tonight. A couple days ago I got up with the 4-time Defensive Player of the Year to talk about the Bulls, the Kobe rumors, the ongoing Pistons rivalry and his […]

Dime’s (Early) All-Rookie Team
One of these guys won’t be on the list…
While the recent knowledge of Greg Oden’s season-ending knee surgery distressed the city of Portland, about three hours north on I-5, Kevin Durant started making room on his trophy case in his new Seattle home. But while KD is surely the front-runner for ‘07-08 Rookie of the […]

CP’s second Dime cover
It’s getting a little ridiculous how everyone is not only taking the “Portland shouldn’t have drafted Greg Oden” stance now, but acting like they were saying Oden was the wrong pick back in June. Come on. The vast majority of you were saying Oden should have been #1 at the time — […]

We got a chance to check out some tape-delayed NBA summer league games yesterday. First up: Kevin Durant and the Sonics vs. Dallas. Watching Durant in his first pro game was like when the Dime crew was at MSG for his first college game — while a lot of KD’s shots weren’t falling (5-for-17 FGs, […]
