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. Tom O`Connor
