Fred Hoiberg says he believes<\/em> he can lead the Chicago Bulls<\/strong> to a championship. The 43-year-old first-time NBA head coach<\/strong> comes into his rookie season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Derrick’s doing great. It was good to get him in the building and it started with him a couple nights ago coming back into the arena, going out and getting shots with his teammates. [He] came in early that next morning and as a staff and a couple players, we got him caught up with everything that we put in on the offensive end. Talked to him a lot about defense, he’s still not able to do anything live<\/span><\/span>, or contact at this point, but he is chomping at the bit to get back out there on the floor.<\/p>\n

He came back into this with such high expectations. He was in great shape, had a great offseason. Didn’t really have to focus on rehab<\/span><\/strong> like he’s had to do in the past couple summers. So the unfortunate incident, to take an elbow from\u00a0Taj Gibson<\/a>, to break that orbital bone, was so disappointing for him<\/del>. But he’s ready, just the big thing is getting him back in game shape before we push him back out on the floor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then the moonlight flooded the cave, and there before me lay my own body as it had been lying all these hours, with the eyes<\/span><\/em> staring toward the open ledge and the hands resting limply upon the ground. I looked first at my lifeless clay there upon the floor of the cave and then down at myself in utter bewilderment; for there I lay clothed, and yet here I stood but naked as at the minute of my birth.<\/p>\n

The transition had been so sudden and so unexpected that it left me for a moment forgetful of aught else than my strange metamorphosis. My first thought was, is this then death! Have I indeed passed over forever into that other life! But I could not well believe this, as I could feel my heart<\/a> pounding against my ribs from the exertion of my efforts to release<\/span><\/strong> myself from the anaesthesis which had held me. My breath was coming in quick, short gasps, cold sweat stood<\/del> out from every pore of my body, and the ancient experiment of pinching revealed the fact that I was anything other than a wraith.<\/p>\n

Again was I suddenly recalled to my immediate surroundings by a repetition of the weird moan from the depths of the cave. Naked and unarmed as I was, I had no desire to face the unseen thing<\/span><\/em> which menaced me.<\/p>\n

My revolvers were strapped to my lifeless body which, for some unfathomable reason, I could not bring myself to touch<\/span><\/span>. My carbine was in its boot, strapped to my saddle, and as my horse had wandered off I was left without means of defense.<\/p>\n

Unable longer to resist the temptation to escape<\/h3>\n

This horrible place I leaped quickly<\/h4>\n

The crisp, fresh mountain air outside the cave acted as an immediate tonic and I felt new life and new courage coursing through me. Pausing<\/a> upon the brink of the ledge I upbraided myself for what now seemed to me wholly unwarranted apprehension. I reasoned with myself that I had lain helpless for many hours within the cave<\/span><\/span>, yet nothing had molested me, and my better judgment, when permitted the direction<\/del> of clear and logical reasoning, convinced me that the noises I had heard must have resulted from purely natural and harmless causes; probably the conformation of the cave was such that a slight breeze had caused the sounds I heard.<\/p>\n

I decided to investigate, but first I lifted my head to fill my lungs with the pure, invigorating night air of the mountains. As I did so I saw stretching far below me the beautiful<\/span><\/strong> vista of rocky gorge, and level, cacti-studded flat, wrought by the moonlight into a miracle of soft splendor and wondrous enchantment.<\/p>\n

Few western wonders are more inspiring than the beauties of an Arizona moonlit landscape; the silvered mountains<\/span> in the distance, the strange lights and shadows upon hog back and arroyo, and the grotesque details of the stiff, yet beautiful cacti form a picture at once enchanting and inspiring; as though one were catching for the first time a glimpse of some dead and forgotten world, so different is it from the aspect of any other spot upon our earth.<\/p>\n

Unable longer to resist the temptation to escape this horrible place I leaped quickly through the opening into the starlight of a clear Arizona night. The crisp, fresh mountain air outside the cave acted as an immediate tonic and I felt new life and new courage coursing through me. Pausing upon the brink of the ledge I upbraided myself for what now seemed to me wholly unwarranted<\/del> apprehension.<\/p>\n

As I stood thus meditating, I turned my gaze from the landscape to the heavens where the myriad stars formed a gorgeous and fitting canopy for the wonders of the earthly scene. My attention was quickly riveted by a large red star close to the distant horizon. As I gazed upon it I felt a spell of overpowering fascination\u2014it was Mars, the god of war, and for me, the fighting man<\/strong><\/span>, it had always held the power of irresistible enchantment. As I gazed at it on that far-gone night it seemed to call across the unthinkable void, to lure me to it, to draw me as the lodestone attracts a particle of iron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
