Don't take these guys lightly...they got the best road record in the division! (play like shit in the Gardens) It will be another tough game. Seems like EVERY game is tough nowadays.

Ok I was with you with the mundane Bulls of the 2000's/early 2010s....but why a pic of Dr. J/Bird?


I was hoping for this:

Nice photobomb by the future Bull.

Sigh...having to look up what photo bombing is. Got it.

LOL! That makes 2 mistakes I made in the thread, taking the Sixers for the Bulls and saying the game is on MLB. It's on ESPN.

Who's the Red head guy? Looks like that actor/comedian from Boston. (name escapes me)
As a matter of fact, I have no idea who that #7 Bull is!

you were hoping for this

I'm out.

Brian Scalabrini. The human victory cigar.

Ben Gordon.

Do you remember #23 for the Bulls?

That series made it cool to be a Bulls fan again.

Refresh me!

But seriously folks: Hearing about the Bad Boys in Detroit brought me into NBA fandom. Dantley and Mahorn were my faves. The Dantly trade pissed me off bad, and then they lost Mahorn. I found myself switching over to the Bulls. The last time we lost to them in the conference finals I realized I was rooting for Pippin and the Bulls! I didn't care much for Mike...such a ball hawg!

When that fucker Krause broke up the team I lost interest. Then I heard about Artest and that other great rookie getting drafted. I tried to follow them again but I got to see FEW games on TV. Lost interest again.

When Noah was drafted I got curious. I renewed my fandom in Dec, 2011 and was eager to see this Derrick Rose guy. I saw him play exactly one game before he went down. But I'm afraid I was hooked again, probably for life this time.

That's the story folks.

As much as KS likes basketball, he wouldn't make a mult that bad.

Now it seems the game is on TNT. I give up.

ESPN doesn't do Thursday night games. Everyone knows this!

Not true, Hair. I didn't know it.

Bulls come out the box fairly shitty. Transition game putrid.

Who's the guy is Derrick's uni?

But it is however, perpetual.

Mirotic's shot selection is among the worst that I have ever seen relative to NBA players.

When he's on it's a thing of beauty though.

It's fool's gold with that. You can't trust a guy like that. He takes Steph Curry like shots. He doesn't have "in the gym range".

That is something that Hoiberg will have to definitely get a handle on. You get into playoff series and he is out there launching 30 footers because no one has ever really demonstrated that it is a problem. He has opportunities to step in a few feet and he doesn't take it because he wants to show the world that he has range. It reminds of guys that I used to play with on the playground. You never expect that from NBA players.

Didnt see the game but i told u guys rose is back

I played 2 on 2 tonight. Holy shit does it make u appreciate what these guys do 3 times a week.

I threaded a noah assist and had a good putback but otherwise i couldnt move much. I need shoes that have soles in them too. At least i had something to blame my moves on
