It’s really hard to beat a team twice in a row, the Knicks are at home, and they’re favored by 7.5 points. Tough game for the Bulls.


I am rooting for the Bulls, but their luck must run out at one point. Also, how sad it is that NY vs Chicago being match of the day is kinda a joke. Not to mention, If I just went outside and asked random people to name NBA teams they know, Bulls would probably still be top 3 most known team by regular European here. WTF happened to Chicago Bulls, its a legendary franchise in a top 4 city in the USA.

After Jordan retired their GM Jerry Krause wanted to prove he was the genius who assembled the dynasty, not that he just got lucky with Jordan and Pippen. Of course they totally sucked until he got fired and replaced with the infamous Gar Forman and John Paxson duo. There followed 20 years of mediocre management engaging in disgusting nepotism and an owner who only actually cared about his baseball team (but the White Sox still suck too lol) as long as the team was profitable the front office had a license to do whatever they wanted, and there are enough casual fans who want to do something fun indoors in the middle of winter to keep the arena full even when the team is awful, so they haven't tried very hard to be competitive except when they lucked into it.

How come ?

If they today scrap entire MLB League and plant potatoes on all playing fields across the Country I wouldn’t loose a sleep

This, but more especially with football.

If Jordan the player had Jordan the executive he would have had zero titles. Krause was the genius who assembled the dynasty.

Dumars and Weaver should have to leave with Willie Green (and they just got there). I honestly feel for the fans of New Orleans. It's not their fault that their franchise is littered with incompetence. However, an NBA franchise is valuable. And if they get sold, they're probably getting moved.

So this is a pick your poison situation. Futility or Relocation. Damn.

I do not think Baseball has ever been mentioned once in my nations sports news, so I do not reslly care, but Tas from the NoDunks was rooting for Bluejays hard, so for him, I wanted them to win. I know the team that won is some kind of superteam anyway, so screw them. In the last week watching no dunks i heard words i never heard before, like inning and stuff.

I am just hating, but I hate nba arena atmostphere, I hate they have to play music during live play, thats just sad. I watched Euro game before watching this game, and it is just such a worse vibe watching nba game. Also, Pelicans as expected are bad, I think everyone except Joe Dumars knew that. Last season and offseason featured two of the stupidest no hindsight needed trades ever made, that trade trully has franchise murder potential.

Hartenstein could end up with a triple double.

I love to watch the Thunder play basketball, that is all.

Ps: Dumars should be kidnapped by aliens.

Meanwhile it's Lauri and a bunch of nothing on the other side. Kessler is missed.
