Duke's Luol Deng is an unselfish player who has a feel for the game and is fundamentally sound at both ends of the floor.
This edition of Bulls won't be full groan
Sunday, October 17, 2004
In the Bulls locker room at the United Center, there is a message board, and on the message board, there are plays drawn, and in the margins, there are instructions, and on Friday, the first entry under "O" was of particular note.
"The object is to score."
Even for a team trying out more new parts than a barber, this would seem an unnecessary reminder, along the lines of "breathe" or "blink." Yet Luol Deng, who as a Duke man would be aware of such things, insisted the message carried more than met the eye.
"I mean, we all know that," Deng said. "It's just coach's strategy. You reading that, it doesn't make as much sense as it does for us.
"What he's trying to say is, basically, just take your shots. Don't be nervous out there. If you're wide open, take the shot. Last game, we had a lot of open looks and we passed them up."
Hence, "The object is to score." Underlined. Followed by "execute plus clear your mind and play."
Or, if I were to rewrite, "Shoot first, think later."
Of course, if I were to rewrite, I'd probably first have to do something about "Through Thick and Thin."
The above is probably the worst advertising slogan in the history of slogans and/or advertising. Still, sad to say, I think I understand the Bulls' new marketing campaign.
This season probably will be an extension of a streak of thin that began with Tim Floyd's veneer of competence. Why use billboards and TV and print ads to remind fans of this?
Perhaps to remind them how much fun it was to be in on the ground floor of thick.
