    This one sure as hell looked like a loss to me going into Q4. Bulls shot horribly for 2/3 of the game. JLIII continues to amaze.

    Games like this are the best when in tank mode. Win for a bit than you lose.

    Hey Transplant, why don't you write an article about JLIII and his amazing performance these past few games? :-)

    Thibs is clearly a genius. He gets stellar play from D-League rejects and superstars alike.

    It does speak to the system. Tex Winter said the triangle could make mediocre players win games.

    We're living on borrowed time until these guys get healthy. No complaints, mind you. But this just can't last.

    You say that, but have you looked at the upcoming schedule?

    Sat, Mar 24 vs Toronto
    Mon, Mar 26 vs Denver
    Wed, Mar 28 @ Atlanta
    Fri, Mar 30 vs Detroit
    Sun, Apr 1 @ Oklahoma City

    The Bulls are probably okay through the beginning of April.

    Denver and Atlanta aren't pushovers, and you don't mean through the beginning of April, but just through March.

    Anyway, yeah, the regular season is almost in the bag. Rhyder already has a magic number thread at the old bbf, and aside from Miami, we're fine.

    I'm just thinking that this isn't a recipe for winning a championship.
