By far the longest active one, thus ensuring that our 54 will hold up for quite some time.

Bulls had 33

Not really my favorite part of a Hawaiian plate, which many places in the islands serve on Fridays. It consists of kalua (pulled) pork, rice, lomilomi (raw, diced, with tomatoes) salmon, and of course, poi.

I don't see any way they lose a home game to Memphis.

especially considering those games against Boston and Minnesota earlier. Memphis is probably going to be hungry and some of their players will be fighting for their jobs.

. . .i didn't say 100%. 93% just seems too low given the stakes.

I think they can get to at least the 5th seed with a win!

I won't mind seeing a Bulls' record fall, either. Jordan was the GOAT, but he ruined the NBA for me.

Don't get that Digger.

How can the GOAT ruin the NBA for someone? I'm not seeing how that could be.

Who watched the NBA besides Chicago fans in the Jordan era? I don't blame Jordan for it, or the league, as I'm not sure what they could have done about it, but there wasn't much for the rest of the country to cheer for.

Phoenix with Barkley, the Rockets with Hakeem, the Blazers and Sonics with Clyde and Kemp, the Knicks, the Magic with Shaq and Penny, were all VERY good teams.

Then teams like Milwaukee and San Antonio and Sacramento and Denver and Washington and Atlanta were all pretty good.

OK, two teams won all the titles in 8 years, but there was a ton of good basketball in the late 80's to the late 90's.

It was a painful era for Celtics fans.

Totally motivated by self-interest, weren't ya???

Well, if it's any consolation, your guys are better than my Bulls now! Better team play, and my team can't, or won't, play defense.

And I see you have a little self-interest yourself in the topic.

Rose is kind of becoming the Bulls' Reggie Lewis. If not for injuries, what might have been?

Came from WAY(!) back against a pretty good Heat team and won the game.

Good way to jump head first into the playoffs!

But this year is just a place holder, anyways. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Ainge does with all those draft picks, and then criticizing him relentlessly if it doesn't pan out.

Jordan is unquestionably the GOAT, but I never cared for him at all. I cheered for every team that played them.

Wilt was far and away a better overall player than Jordan ever was. The NBA made it easier for Jordan to score and made it harder for Chamberlain. And that's before taking into account Chamberlain's impact with rebounds, blocked shots and managing to lead the league in assists.

Jordan was a great scorer, but the league made rule changes deliberately to make it easier for him to score by hamstringing defenses and effectively refusing to call either traveling or palming the ball while dribbling.

One talent Jordan and Russell shared that Chamberlain lacked is the ability to make those around them better as well. Team attributes count in a team sport.

It is now 100 percent.
