Yeah, I don't know why everyone is buying into the Bulls so much. They're a good team, but they haven't proved anything the last few years, while the Magic have been playoff contenders. What exactly have they done to warrant putting them ahead of Orlando?

Loving this quarter.

it's great to have 7 and 8 other guys that can pick up the slack scoring-wise :D

and... this team can be so great defensively, as they have shown in this 3rd quarter... I just wish they could do it for an entire 48 minute game, and not just selectively turn it on and off

People harp on his vision too much, and don't realize that he is a great floor general.

word, the inconsistency on defense disturbs me as well. we'll see how they play tomorrow in dallas. I feel like they play down and up to their competition. maybe they'll come out with a lot of energy tomorrow, or I hope so.

Megan calling Jack the "Sweatervest Man"

Adam must be proud. He really started something with this. This has been years in the making.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Ah ****, I'm watching the ESPN coverage. Someone should have told me Megan was on t.v. tonight. Would have switched over. 8-)
