Curry's goof has Bulls in bad mood; team runs laps after tape error.(Chicago Tribune)
Byline: K.C. Johnson
CHICAGO _ In a one-hour team meeting Thursday, Bulls coach Scott Skiles firmly challenged his team to reject the losing culture that has permeated the franchise.
Act like professionals, Skiles said.
Then practice started and Skiles broadened his challenge from his players' heads and hearts to a test of their legs.
Upset that Eddy Curry hadn't taped his ankles for practice, Skiles made the entire team run laps as Curry slinked off to the trainer's table.
"Imagine being a 14-year veteran and then some young kid doesn't have his tape on so we have to pay the penalty," veteran guard Kendall Gill said. "We didn't appreciate that. We have a lot of miles on our bodies and we've run our laps in this league. We don't need to run extra.
"For a young player to make a rookie mistake like that, you can't do that. It's about accountability and responsibility."
