    Omigosh! No, I don't buy that at all. I don't like the way the Bulls are playing lately, but they've got a very good roster. Hell, Bovada has them as co-favorites to win it all. I mean, if those guys believe in the team that much, how can a Bulls fan throw in the towel?

    All roads to the Finals go through Atlanta. This is the calculus management has to make if they care about basketball.

    Always remember that Organizations win championships, not Taj Gibson.

    As I said elsewhere, the Hawks are playing great ball. They're the best coached team I've seen this season.

    We're just about at the halfway point of the season. Lots of ball to be played. The Bulls may yet work themselves back into the discussion.

    The Cavs, too?

    Everyone is playing great ball against us.

    "I'll play these" is capitulation.

    I never said that the Cavs played great ball 'cause they didn't. Of course, they didn't need to 'cause the Bulls mailed it in. As for capitulation, they'll fire Thibodeau before they raise the white flag.

    The Cavs beat us by 14, shot 46% from the field, held us to 37.5%, outrebounded us 54-40, and held us to under 95. They played great ball against us.

    If this is the team that we send to the playoffs, it is capitulation.

    Start Dunleavy and play Kirk 30 minutes. Winning formula.

    I forgot to add that firing Thibs would be capitulation of the highest order.

    Ever since they fired Ron Adams there has been tension between the FO and Thibs. On the topic of trading Taj, I don't think it will benefit us much. Almost feels like we'd be trading him for the sake of trading him.

    We'd trade him to provide depth at the wing positions where it is badly needed. We have too many PFs, not enough SG or SF.
