Keith Bogans has heard the criticism, read about his detractors who feel the Bulls must upgrade the quality at shooting guard.

"It doesn't frustrate me at all, … I'm being talked about," Bogans said with a smile after he scored a season-high 17 points in nearly 29 minutes Tuesday night during the Bulls' 98-79 victory over the Wizards.

"I've been around long enough (seven-year veteran). You know, people are going to say things. But I am here for my team; I want to win. I'm not worried about individual stuff. I've had individual things and my goal is to win a championship."

"My job on this team is to defend first," he said. "I think people get caught up in (saying) I am a shooting guard, and I am not shooting the ball. But when you have Derrick (Rose), Luol (Deng) and Carlos (Boozer) taking the bulk of the shots … I mean, I'm just going to get us going defensively. When my shot is there I will take it. I know my role on this team."
