Wow. Crawford stepped it up tonite. WAIT A MINUTE <font size="7"><font color="blue">WE WON!!!</font></font>
Hey, good win. Jamal had a great night and you deserved to win. Do any of you mind coming to the Pistons forum once in a while, it gets lonely there. The Bulls have been playing well the last two games, and Jamal has finally began to play extremely well and like the player he was predicted to be at the beginning of the season. Good luck with your next few games.
Nice to see the Bulls are back on the winning track. Hopefully they can keep this up. Crawford had a monster game, as expected.
Yeah, the key word there is "keeping" it up. That will be the challenge. Hopefully this team is up to it.
