As a die-hard Chicago sports fan, I was very disappointed
in the Theuss deal.  It seemed obvious to me that the
big problem was the attitudes between player and coach.
I went to a couple games before Reggie got traded, and it
was obvious that the crowd wanted him in the game.  Chants
of Reg-gie Reg-gie (Sorry, Mr. Jackson, not you).
He finally got put in in a game vs. Philly and just sparked
the team and the crowd (the Bulls won).  I don`t know
how much Johnson has played, but I have heard the Kings
are getting good play from Reggie.  The best thing the
Bulls should do now is try to get a good draft choice,
(though they`ll probably pick a nobody or trade it)
AND get a new coach.  I wouldn`t compare this to the Brock-
Broglio fiasco, since Brock was a realative unknown, whereas
Theuss has made a name for himself, but it was a dumb move.

But if the Bulls can`t win, at least the Celtics are looking hot.
