Another poster calls Nene and Gortat dirty:

Is it just from the Nene-Butler altercation from last year, or is it something else?
Some of it may be the Wizards' 8-3 record against the Bulls over the past two season, including five straight at United Center. The whole Bulls team's been on sandwich making duty.
If the positions were switched, there might be comments like that on our board, but I detect some grudging admiration along with that hate. Even the guy who said Nene and Gortat were (sometimes) dirty called them "a great front court," and most of those hate comments stood alone, surrounding by kvetching about what was wrong with the Bulls.
The Bulls board is one that I like to read. They have some good posters, some smart, some hilarious. I hope the Wizards make that 9-3 before the playoffs.
