1. One step forward …
After Tuesday’s game, the Bulls will have played 25 under coach Scott Skiles and 25 under coach Jim Boylan. If you can tell the difference, please e-mail redeyesports@tribune.com.
2. Bulls (heart) Boylan
Now that he’s approaching 25 games and Valentine’s Day is Thursday, Boylan might want to watch out. The Bulls fired Skiles on Christmas Eve. Will you be my valentine?
3. My name is Latrell
It seems that former NBA player Latrell Sprewell is having money problems and his house might be foreclosed. Hold on, I got a phone call. … Latrell, karma’s calling.
4. Full of hot air
Shaquille O’Neal practiced for the first time with his new team, the Phoenix Suns, and he says he was winded. Was that a message that he wants to be traded to the Windy City?
5. Must-flee TV
Are you as excited as I am to watch the Roger Clemens testimony before Congress on Wednesday? Are you bringing along your air-sickness bag, too, ’cause it’ll be ugly?
6. The changeling
Clemens never was the most likable guy, but he’s gone all the way to despicable quicker than Paris Hilton.
7. Just kidding
Paris, I didn’t mean it. Call me. I’ll take you to the Westminster dog show.
8. Spring fling
It’s appropriate Spring Training begins the day before Valentine’s Day. It’s the day all baseball fans love.
9. Then again …
When it comes to the Cubs, love often turns into hate — by Memorial Day.
FIVE WAYS
… the Bulls are better now than they were when the season started:
– More hair, especially for the coach.
– Fewer scowls.
– Shaq is out West again.
– Bye, Viktor Khryapa.
– The Luvabulls are in midseason form. Woof, woof!
