Does that **** Tony Snell still play for them?

EDIT: He only had 12 points against us that one game last year? Why did it feel like he scored 35 out of nowhere? Dude couldn't miss a freakin' shot.

People really need to stop overreacting to rumors about what may or may not have happened and let things run their course. Ridiculous that unsubstantiated rumors make people presume guilt so quickly. Why don't you hold off judgement until something other than a random twitter account throws unproven accusations around? I'd hate to see what you all do on a jury.

Wrong thread maybe?

It made the news channel and our very own Kerssed has also verified that the altercation did take place even though motive is unclear.

Bulls' core played over 40 min last night in a 2OT loss. Hope we take advantage of it.

Nah... Right thread. It was about people bringing up how the Morrii might (or should) be benched this game.

Unless there is a video, or multiple corroborating witnesses, it is still just an unsubstantiated rumor. Like the news never airs rumors... come on.

EDITTED for ahem, ... just edited. Don't feel like jousting with the grump. :lol:

This will play out, and after thinking more.... I'll pass on the doughnuts.
I think KeifMo plays/starts.
Biz as Usual.... but behind the curtain is an angry wizard.

It was also good because of that but I don't think they will be out of the bottom 5. Hell, even if they do they'll manage to get a top 3 pick through the ping pong balls. It's the Lakers, they always find a way.

I just said if.

At this point, it's a possibility, since it's been on the local news. I wasn't assigning guilt to anyone, just acknowledging the possibility of damage control.

Honestly, I hope the MOs come out like gangbusters. :wink:

Bulls are gonna be piiiiiiiiiissed!

Wow. I was watching the Lakers game last night and LA was up by like 7 or 9 with 1:51 to play, so I stopped watching thinking the game was over. I was actually hoping the game would go to overtime, but didn't think it was possible. I hope we take advantage, but we gotta rebound by committee.

Revived · Post #34 » by **Revived** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 4:36 pm

Dallas plays Miami tonight and the Thunder play Grizzlies on Saturday. We could create some legit seperation with OKC and move closer with Dallas by beatingba Bulls team that logged minutes in the high 40s last night.

In other words, "must win".

Refs swallowed their whistles and allowed Chi to man handle their way into the overtime. Hindsight, I'm glad they did. However, I will be pissed if it happens again on our home court like it did on the Laker's home court.

We have to come out strong, and keep the pressure on them. They will be a bit tired, three games in four nights, b2b. They've played an extra 15 minutes so far just out of the two games.

If we come out flat, it will be a tough game.

Might be one of those ugly games.
Maybe green will need to hit a few crazy 3s in this one

If you guys win, I will double my money going into the weekend )) Gonna be rooting hard.

I love it how Bulls' players always have "probable" or "questionable" in their injury reports no matter what the injury is. Butler - broken neck - probable.

Bulls are one of those teams if you go up big, I feel comfortable with holding the lead.. even if you're the Phoenix Suns. Especially off a back to back... Suns should finish them quick. I would hope.

I think Dragic, Bledsoe, and IT have their best games. Also, love how they got Gasol. He's been playing great but he doesn't play the best defense against uptempo teams. He won't see a lot of time on the floor tonight.

I feel the exact opposite. The Bulls can actually play defense and get back into the game. Plus if the Suns go up big and the Bulls empty the bench, expect McBuckets, Mirotic and Dunleavy to get playin time and they can start knocking down 3s to cut into the lead.
