<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Remember the '80s? The Bulls are going retro against the Clippers tonight in their red script 'Chicago' throwbacks, worn here by former NBA All-Star Artis Gilmore. </div>
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting jump:</div><div class="quote_post"></div> I thought they were, because The CLippers are wearing their retro Unis also i think, that is what they ahve on their website
Nice jerseys, I believe they worse these on Thanskgiving also this year, right? Was close to buying a Q-Rich one, but I held off for a Brand. Glad the Clippers could pull this one out against a struggling Chicago team. I felt the Clips have played bad lately, and this is a good way to get back on track at home.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Chicago native Corey Maggette made sure the Los Angeles Clippers continued their dominance over his hometown team. Maggette scored 28 points on 10-of-13 shooting to lead the Clippers to seventh straight win over the Chicago Bulls, 102-92. "The main point is just to get a win," Maggette said. "We've been playing (below the level) of what we should be playing, so we just need to win." "Tonight Corey stepped up and played big for us, and that was probably the difference," Los Angeles forward Quentin Richardson added. </div> Nice Win, Maggette really showed up for this game. Full Recap Box Score
Good game by the Clippers, horrible defense all around for the Bulls but that's nothing new. Also I don't understand how Curry shoots 3-10 and grabs only two rebounds, pathetic game for him. Also good game from Wilcox coming off the bench with 10 points and 5 boards in 16 minutes. Stat of the game Clippers 56 points in the paint Bulls 34 points in the paint

Gotta love this team, unrivaled, single talents. When combined, a massive team force and chemical presence can be seen and felt. Just goes to show just how good these guys are, they're a "team." Congratulations, keep up the good work, hope you win some more, hopefully you'll get some more offense and defensive ability after this season, through the draft or some trades. Then you'll become a real contender.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_Fever_834:</div><div class="quote_post">Easy one. Clippers take this one. The Bulls just are in a huge wreck.</div> They already took it, last night.
Bulls need some changes and fast. Clippers are playing soild ball,they are a team that are very talented,they just need to improve their road record.They are very good at Staples.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">Clipps in a rout, Bulls have been the NBA's worst for a reason the last few weeks.</div> It's good to be right.
