Oh, hey guys. It's your boy Taco bugging you again. My 10-year-old nephew is having a birthday party on Wednesday and I thought I'd show him some Magic tricks. I'm traveling to Orlando for the occasion. It should be really fun. Can any of you share a few tricks with me?

On second thought, maybe Magic just isn't my forte.

To be honest, I do know of a few guys that are going to try to pull off one heck of a Magic trick on Wednesday. They are going to appear to be an actual NBA basketball team. I mean really, 24 wins? Try to create an illusion of the ball going into the basket, will ya?

Obligatory disclaimer: Mods, I know the actual game isn't until Wednesday and it is only Monday. However, if you don't mind, I figured since neither Orlando nor Chicago plays again before Wednesday I might as well start the thread now. If it's too soon, feel free to lock this thread up until game day.

Now onto the important information of the day:

vs.

PG: DERRICK "#1" ROSE

vs.

Elfrid Payton
SG: Jimmy Butler

vs.

Victor Oladipo
SF: Mike Dunleavy

vs.

Tobias Harris
PF: Pau Gasol

vs.

Dewayne Dedmon
C : Joakim Noah

vs.

Nikola Vucevic

You are getting very sleepy. :sleep:

Seriously, if you watch this game you will fall asleep and wake up hours later not able to remember what went on during the time this game was being played. :lol:

In the meantime, here's the obligatory 'shake off the loss' unleash the bull rah rah image......

UNLEASH THE BULL!!!

Nice GT taco.

The days off might be nice for the players, but I'm missing my Bulls fix. Hopefully we play a bit better and hopefully we will have that Rose guy back and playing some minutes as well. Looking forward to it!

Miami... finish off the regular season without a back to back and against teams with a losing record... plus a Hawks team that might be resting half the team.

Coach Thibs will be coaching Orlando next year.

This might just be a top-3 backcourt in a few years time. Really like both these guys.

Would be great to see Rose return.

I hope Rose comes back for this game, because this will be the first chance I'd get to see him live. :pray:

Besides that, we're running out of games for him to play in to get his conditioning back before the playoffs. Time to get this started

No worries, we prefer the next game thread to be up as soon as possible actually. So good going.

Bulls need to win at least 4 of the last 5 to keep the third seed, so no screwing around let's make sure we get this one.

I'm guessing Rose plays this one and not in Miami, I would be very surprised if they let him play a B2B this soon.

Anyone know for sure if you can use the stub hub app at the game instead of printing tickets?

In the good ole days we'd have threads up within hours of the end of the previous games so good job!

It depends.....they say you can, but when I actually looked at my ticket, it said that I had to print it out because the electronic one wouldn't be valid.....but it could be because of where I'm sitting. I'd just print them out to be on the safe side

Yeah, pretty sure he circled this date on the day he had surgery, I hope Elfrid is ready :lol:
