You guys are hilarious, great thread.

BTW we definitely need a plane that's more athletic, this one can barely take off.

This thread is pure gold
The Bulls 2013 offense. Making Monta Ellis look efficient.

The plane can only dunk in stride for now, we're waiting for it to dunk off stride before putting it back out there.

The plane didn't actually break down. The pilot heard that Rudy Fernandez was going to be traded to the Bulls by Monday and chose to wait for him before leaving.

Thibs to pilots: "What are you guys on autopilot up there. C'mon dammit swing the wings! Swing the wings left to right, left to right!" Jesus Christ!

Where was Kirk? Shouldn't he provide the thrust?

I guess the wings were damaged like Lu's wrists and the tires were having plantar fasciitis and it was just "plane" old like Rip and Nazr.

BTW, was Thibs the pilot for the last 2 years? He must have exceeded the minutes allowed for the plane to run.

I was going to post something funny, but every possible joke has been covered, came to late

Mark Cuban let the Bulls use the Mavs plane apparently. Classy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaster_d ... ssociation

While the above link doesnt mention this part...Bill Simmons Book of Basketball says the NBA Catastrophe Rule means if a team dies, that franchise gets the next year's #1 overall pick. And keeps their own pick too.

Seems like a fine way to encourage plane tinkering by whatever the worst fanbase is.





Very odd wording at that link --'if five or more players die or are dismembered'........ were it the latter, i think we'd all breathe a sigh of relief. Our status as an elite defense would go down the tubes, but our current offensive efficiency wouldn't be affected too much.

Watch, someone still signs it to a max this offseason.

Let him walk, .. err fly, he can be a cancer elsewhere.

Amnesty the plane?


Absolutely, like Omer in a way....

why pay so much for a plane that doesn't start?
