If you missed the 4th quarter you missed a lot. It was a blur of steals, battling boards, fast breaks and action. It was exciting (new) Bulls basketball at its funnest. The Mavs out-shot us for three quarters but when Portis came in Dunn, Lavine and Nwaba turned it up. Even Markkie knocked down some threes.

Both teams played balls out in the 4th but the Bulls pulled away. You see: THEY CLOSED THAT BITCH OUT! Fuck the stupid ass tank. Do you think all 8 tank teams will win the title next year? It's ridiculous. It's a fucked up dream of a scheme.

With the team we got right now (minus a couple of bums) we can compete NOW and get better and better. How did we win in the 90's? One superstar, one all star and a supporting cast stronger than its individual parts. THAT'S a formula; not this soul sucking tank crap.

They tanked in order to be in position to draft the one superstar that you speak of. If they don't tank will they win the championship next year? Will they even make the playoffs? If the Bulls draft eight it will be a disappointment. They were set up sweet when they were 3-20. Winning meaningless games against crappy teams does nothing. They are screwing themselves with this stupid shit.

They are blowing a top 3/5 pick unless they get lucky in the lottery.

Stupid.

Some of the bottom feeding teams in the west have to play each other before the season ends. Bulls have two games with the Nets and a few of those teams too. They have to lose those games. The Nets have no reason to tank so that should be good for the Bulls. The only teams that I believe are in position to out tank the Bulls are probably Atlanta and Memphis. Maybe Sac also. The Bulls should be able to finish with a worse record than Phoenix Dallas Nets and Magic.

Hopefully you're right...

The Bulls did not outplay the Mavs in the 4th quarter. The Mavs have embraced the tank due to great leadership from the front office and ownership. They understand the big picture. Dennis Smith Jr wants a running mate.

The Mavs came out ahead last night.

Hope he’s right too. I do see that a couple 19 win teams should be at 20 after the weekend (Phoenix and Orlando perhaps). I’m worried about the 2 remaining games against Memphis.

I guess the Grizzlies are keeping Gasol to sell tickets? If they had traded him to a contender, they would’ve absolutely assured themselves of a 25% chance at the 1st pick.

How many of you guys actually watched the game?

Talking with a friend in Chicago....he confirmed to me that GarPax and the Mayor still don't know whay they are doing and Markkanen is just another 7' stiff
