Pelicans is better than those.

Raptors >>>>>> Pelicans

They should have changed their names to The Fightin' Brad Pitts. I think he lives there like 2 days a year.

Really? That's atrocious.

The Purchase, guys. That's the only answer. The Louisiana Purchase would instantly be top 5 in sports.

Yeah, but how would you market it? How does that translate to a logo or a color scheme that enables you to better sell merchandize to the peons you try to suck dollars from?

[Bosanac01]

How bout them Hawks? Damn that comeback was incredible. Korver hit 8 threes, sh!t.

The Bulls were the ones with the double-doubles though.

The name would just be the logo. That's what half the teams in the league do. If 76ers can stick, so can that.

No, it's atrocious that they've never done that before as a franchise. How did someone never get a double-double along with Pip and MJ? They got a triple double in the same game for God's sake.

The logo for the purchase should be a pioneer/explorer in the mold of Lewis & Clark if you don't want to go too cartoonish/minor league baseballish.

Or a cartoon of Thomas Jefferson ******** on France.

This also works. More teams need to have fun with the logos.

So,the Bulls have the 3rd best record in the East...

Wtf are the rest of the teams in the East doing? We were supposed to sneak in to the playoffs barely this season, jeez.

They underestimated how important having the best defensive frontcourt combo in the league is (and it isn't close btw....Taj and Noah are some next level **** on D). That and Deng's continued ability to play superhuman minutes every night without slowing down.

And the Denger is probably going to be out until February (or should be), and now Jimmy Buckets has taken those superhuman minutes. Thibs doesn't know you can sub out the 3 occasionally.

I hate LBJ a little less now

[Rob S]

Felton is back tonight. It'll be interesting to see how the crunch time minutes carve themselves out between him, Shump and Kidd.

We'll see you in the divisional round. I've been waiting 19 years for another shot at the Bulls in the playoffs. Get ready.

You realize it's been only 17 years, and you've only been to the playoffs 8 of those years.

Last time we met in the playoffs was 94 no?

[Rob S]

Ugh. I really don't know why you would actually want to see the Bulls in playoffs, BBD.

Bc. It's the Bulls man. It's the Bulls. I want revenge.

95-96 lost to us 4-1. I know, too many beatings to remember specifics.

Yeah, but if Derek Rose is decently healthy, we almost assuredly lose. Our best shot is Bulls get the 4 and have to play the Heat in round 2.
