Bulls are insignificant right now.

Nice win tonight.  Bulls are in the 8th seed and own a tie-breaker over the bucks now. 

Is making the playoffs out  of the East still like getting a ribbon for finishing in the Special Olympics?  Cleveland and Boston excepted?

It's like beating Pitt at football.

Don't tell that to the Iowa fans!

I was thinking that.  The Iowa loss at Pitt (where we saw the end of the Jake Christensen) almost cost the Hawks a New Years' Day bowl game.  It wasn't a wasted trip...I did have some pretty good sandwiches, a Pirates game, a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert and enjoyed an excessive amount of Yuengling beer.  (In hindsight, maybe it was a wasted trip... but aren't most good weekends?)

Back on topic... the NBA Eastern Conference is bad.

You should check out my Bulls comments in the Big 10 hoops thread, where this sort of discussion belongs.

I'm sure glad that John Paxson held onto Donyell Marshall instead of including him in a 2003 draft-day trade that would have brought Dwyane Wade to the Bulls.

DPD.  It was pretty damn good game and the Bulls blew several opportunities to win the game.  The refs were horrible.  They let Wade get away with lot and called some horrible fouls on the bulls.   I still don't get why Gordon wasn't given a chance to take the last shot.  Saying all of that, you have to be happy about the effort those guys gave last night.

Wade getting away with alot is to be expected when it comes to the NBA. That didn't really bother me.

As far Gordon not getting a chance at the last shot, well Vinny's an idiot, nothing really new there.

I agree, they gave a great effort last night.

That's a good point.  As soul-crushing as the loss was, the Bulls took the Heat to double overtime, in Miami, on a night when Wade was not only unbelievable, but was getting all the calls.  That's an accomplishment.

The season has sucked, but it's hard to fault the players, who seem to get after it most nights and play hard.  They even display some real basketball talent at times.  I honestly believe that D'Antoni could have gotten this group to 45 wins.

I have heard about this before.  How legit is this story?

Paxson, according to league sources, renewed discussions with Toronto for its No. 4 pick Thursday when he learned Marquette's Dwyane Wade would be picked by Miami at No. 5. Those discussions stalled when Toronto asked for Donyell Marshall.
