October: Tyrus Thomas starts his first, and only, game as Power Forward for the Bulls. On his 1st possession, he has a wide open lane to the hoop for a dunk...but instead...sprints to half court and fires up a 3 with 17 seconds on the shot clock. Taj Gibson starts for the remainder of the season.

November: Derrick Rose is injured the game before the annual Circus Trip. Presumed not to be serious, Rose stays at home to rehab at Berto while the Bullies proceed to get swept every game they play on the road. After returning to the United Center, the Chicago Tribune breaks recently taken photos of Rose exchanging gang signs with Bobo the Clown after a performance.

December: Frustrated with his lack of playing time, Tyrus angrily approaches James Johnson in the locker room during halftime after playing 2 minutes in the previous 9 games. Johnson precedes to whoop the puppy excrement out of him, returns to the court and sets the United Center record for points in a half. Bulls lose by 12.

January: John Paxson announces that he is renouncing his title as Vice President of Basketball Operations in order to get even FURTHER away from the mess that is the Chicago Bulls Roster...he now insists that he be referred to as "Exectuive Vice President of Whatever the Hell Reinsdorf Wants". Reinsdorf is also spotted spraypainting "I Heart Krause" on the Jordan Statue.

February: Always the willing trade partner, the New York Knicks and the Bulls decide to work the phones together again, sending Eddy Curry back to the Bulls for Chris Duhon, A signed Nate Robinson Jersey and a Bag of Funyuns.

March: Finding themselves 20 games out of contention, Vinny Del Negro announces that he will be leaving the team for an indefinite time period due to a "severe case of the bubbleguts". Bickerstaff takes over, and the Bulls promptly go undefeated in the month of March, showing just enough promise to convince Reinsdorf that the money he was going to spend on the 2010 free agent is unnecessary. Hundreds of Bulls fans commit Sepuku in front of the United Center in protest.

April: The Bulls finish .5 games out of the playoff seed when Del Negro, in his triumphant return to the bench...runs a last second Isolation for Noah on the left block. Noah is immediately stripped of the ball, and breaks down into a 7'0" blubbering tub of goo.

May: Lottery. (YOU'VE GOT THAT RIGHT SISTER!!)

By June and July, I'll be so drunk and miserable I wouldn't be able to tell the difference Gar Forman and George Foreman.

Thanks. We're here all week. Try the veal.

Brother, leave the mushrooms alone.

October: Deng healthy, Noah looks like he is on that "Barry Bonds". Tyrus promises an allstar year, before the month is over, VDN tells the media he is debating whether Tyrus will start.

November: Season starts, Rose shows improvement, but not at a rapid pace, but easily can be seen that once his shot falls, he may be the best PG in the game. Once again, Bulls show competitiveness out west on trip but still comes back under .500.

December: Start to get legs, Hinrich and Salmons improve but the problem is Salmons does not play as well with Rose as he does with Hinrich. Deng starts to show consistency, so does Noah.

Rest of year: Rose makes all-star game! Has parade down State Street. Bulls trade Hinrich, makes playoffs as 7th seed, loses in the first round. Rose is 3rd Team All-NBA. Year ends with Wade comments about how Rose and Noah have improved, and he is impressed, let the 2010 rumors begin...
