Not just the Bulls but the NBA in general. I havnt watched 10 seconds of the Bulls in a month. Greys Anatomy is more entertaining. The East is the worst conference in any sport that I've ever seen. Three Quarters of them are tank'n for a lottery pick. I'll watch my new favorite team (Golden State) after the Super Bowl.

Nope. I may check in during the conference finals.

Probably me and Douchebag. I'm a fan through and through. I was watching during the Tyson/Eddie years, hell even the Brand/Artest/Fizer years.

I bet on the NBA, so I have a reason to log onto NBA dot com.

Only thing more miserable than betting on NBA was betting on NFL.

I watched all of last night's game. I'm going through a bit of insomnia right now, and even bad Bulls basketball can't cure it.

Yes, the man cave allows me to designate one tv for the Bulls. I enjoy watching Butler develop. The team still plays hard.

Same, but not even betting as much on the NBA. Nothing worse than betting on bad teams in any sport. No trends, anyone can win

I'm actually far more successful betting on the NBA than on the NFL. Made it to the finals of the Sportsbook NBA survivor league last year, only to not read the rules correctly and screwed myself. Could have won around $250.

I'll watch a few minutes of a Bulls game if they're on at the same time as the Hawks and I can flip back and forth. I watched the Knicks game on Halloween. But I'm not going to sit down and plan to watch a Bulls game for the rest of this year. What's the point? They're mediocre and the NBA sucks this year. And now teams wear sleeved jerseys and look like soccer players. Don't like it.

How about the Kornel David/Rusty LaRue years? :lol: I remember listening to JHood after they scored 49 points. That was some fun-bad basketball.

It just seems like last season didnt end. Im sick of watching the self proclaimed "best player in the league" break a knee running and jumping. I just dont care anymore. He doesnt need rehab. He needs bubble wrap.

Boozer fades away = zzzzzzzzzzz

Butler hustles = Yawn

Noah holsters his fingers against the Bucks = Bite me

I'm done with the Bulls........for now.

If you want to talk about Mark Jackson, Steph Curry and those run and gun Warriors then I'm there.

I'm watching you, right now, through your window.

This team is bad, but they're only 2 games out from being a top 4 seed in the east.

Bulls got this...

I catch it when I can, but don't make it a point to like I did a couple years back.

And I don't even put that on Rose's ouchies so much as the NBA is losing my interest a bit more each year.

Last year's finals was probably the best finals series in a generation.

Wrong. It was free, under the assumption you wager at least $20/week, which I already was doing anyway.

What's weird is that even without Rose this team may be easily land the 3 seed and they were probably going to be the 3 seed with Rose. Besides Miami and Indiana, Toronto is the only Eastern Conference team that the Bulls might have a hard time matching up with.

The Bulls were 6-5 with Rose. Then he got hurt and they went 2-7. I know that DJ Augustine is not a superstar, but they are 6-6 since they picked him up. The Bulls have a soft schedule for most of the rest of this month. If they reel off a few wins they could easily be the 3 seed going into February.

Still a playoff team. Maybe the Bulls can make a trade for Jason Kidd to coach this team.

This team will still be competitive and make the playoffs. With simple Noah and Boozer, you probably have a front line bringing in 28 ppg and 20 rpg which is better than most teams. Jimmy Buckets will get big minutes and score in bunches. Same for Dunleavy.

How bad is the Eastern Conference?

The current 3 seed Atlanta would be 1/2 game out of the playoffs in the West.

The trade makes a lot of sense for the simple fact that Butler's best position is small forward and they still have Dunleavy in reserve. Plus, they save millions on salary and luxury tax penalties....makes a lot of sense. As bad as the Eastern Conference is, avoiding the playoffs will be dicey. Could go either way, depending on how Butler does and whether or not he can stay healthy.
