A wise man once said:

This is what's great about sports. This is what the greatest thing about sports is. You play to win the game. YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME. You don't play to just play it. That's the great thing about sports. You play to win. And I don't care if you don't have any wins, you go play to win. When you start telling me it doesn't matter, then retire. Get out. Because it matters.

The Bulls are playing to win. It is a most unexpectedly pleasant surprise. Keep this train rollin', fellas.

There’s a lot of heroes...Dunn, Nwaba, Portis among others playing well.

I am really enjoying Dunn's game and development. He's looking like the future All Star he was drafted as.

I'm a longtime Portis guy. Thought maybe I was the only one left on the board.

This kind of sentiment was also said about MANY of the Rose-era teams ... so, yeah ... I'm kinda all full of fun and enjoyment ... I'm looking for championship-caliber Bulls teams handing out nut-sammiches on a (semi-)nightly basis and getting to the Finals more than once every 10+ years.

I want to have the sexual stamina I did 30 years ago. Since that’s not happening, I’ve learned to enjoy what I have to work with.

I don’t know much about the NBA. But I have been watching the Bulls, and there is a lot to like right now. Dunn has been clutch, and damn his quotes in the paper have been impressive. Portis is playing great.

I saw something that married couples sex lives peak at 46, and hot damn after 22 years of marriage and closing in on that age, they might be right. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

This is what excites me in this deal. I am not sold on Nikko. But I love what we see from Dunn. He is the one who has made the difference

Yes, hence the "I can accept losing." part. This year was the first year of my life they lied down and I was firmly against it.

Yep. If you can keep getting All Defensive team effort from him coupled with 15-7-5 and some clutch baskets you have to be ecstatic considering a few weeks ago he couldn't convince Hoiberg he was even better than Jerian Grant :lol:

Most people are crediting him the most for the streak given that he's 7-0 this year and they were 3-20 before him. I get what Ralph is saying. Dunn's play is the real story.

Nothing. I am not talking about butler deal, I am talking about their recent surge of success

Valentine taking passive aggressive shots at LaVine. Downside of winning is it brings along the egos.

Theo and the Cubs ultimately ruined sports in Chicago. Now everyone must tank to satisfy fans?

I think FF is happy with 35-47 and a moderately entertaining first round loss.

FF strives for greatness every day of his life. That should be abundantly clear to all of us on this board.

Yeah, Theo invented tanking. No other team ever stockpiled young talent with the hopes of them someday meeting their potential a few seasons later.
