Magic Number

[jdsingar]

Adding insult to injury is the fact that the Bucks obtained Salmons and the right to switch draft picks with the Bulls. Which means the Bulls will not have a lottery pick and they will have no incentive to tank. They are thinking that they need to beat us twice and get hot down the stretch. There is no other focus for them until the season ends and they start looking at DWade and Bosh.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Hm, it may not amount to a swap of more than 2 or 3 slots, but it could be more depending on the lottery results. In any case, I look forward to the Bulls decreasing that Magic Number quite frequently.

Just not tonight against the Miami Heat. We need them to lose as well.

That is one reason the draft lottery will be interesting this year. The Bulls lose their pick to the Bucks and the Knicks lose their pick to Utah (I think). It will be funny if either of those teams get lucky in the lottery. Especially if the Knicks pick lands at the top. I wouldlove that. It would send a top talent out west and I love anything that pisses off the Knicks and their fans.

I think everyone outside of New York is hoping for a massive Knicks fail. Best case scenario is they only sign Joe Johnson and get screwed on all their draft picks. It is such a pitiful franchise, though much of that is Mr. Thomas' fault. Still, they are trying to be like the Yankees with a salary cap.

Liking the 'Cats chances. All's they gotta do is go 5-6 in the final 11 (wins WAS, PHI, DET, @NJ, CHI) and the Bulls can go 8-4 (losses MIA, PHX, CLE, BOS or CLT) and the 'Cats are in!

Who has the tie-breaker?

I notice that every time I see him. He seems to have really added some bulk to his frame. Makes you wonder if that added weight changed his jumper and that's why he's been struggling


He won't ever be Bowlin' Ball Felton, but if he keeps adding bulk he'll be so much more effective at the tin, though I wish he would develop the tear drop.......

He's definitely been lifting weights over the off season.He needs to develop that tear drop and study Tony parker and Steve Nash because he isn't a good finisher in the paint or at the rim.
He also needs to get stronger, even though he may have been lifting weights before training camp,he's still getting pushed around out there.
