Bulls fans totally suck. They’re like Nebraska fans. Think they still belong in the conversation because of success in the 80s and 90s when in reality they haven’t been relevant in decades.

That's not quite true. The team had resurgence with the drafting of Derrick Rose. 2010-11 and 2011-12 they had back to back years of having best record in the East. The next 3 years after that their Eastern Conference finish was 5th, 4th, and last year of Thibs (2014-15) they went 50-32 and finished 3rd.

Maybe outside of Chicago because they were a nationwide t-shirt team for a decade that has sucked since.

In Chicago there are few actual rabid Bulls fans but they are real basketball fans. What you are saying applies completely to the Bears though.

As a Bulls fan myself the did have a brief period with Rose and Thibs where they were more than relevant. #1 overall seed in playoffs is relevant. Still that's 2-3 of the past 24 years.

100% of this year's teams had a worse win % than the '11 team. 62-20 is not bad at all.

From Woj. I totally agree that NBA gotta do something about those unnatural plays. As a neutral fan, I'd like to see players score in natural motions with skills, not by taking advantage of the rulebook. This kind of unnatural plays either should be offensive fouls or no-calls.

What's crazy is Chris Paul isn't mentioned here, he's a innovator of the flopping trend, has it down to a science.

Feels like these teams are more exhausted and beaten up than I ever remember in the playoffs. Seems the condensed season has left nothing in the tank for these teams. Far different than last year's bubble where guys were more fresh and the product was better as a result.

Utah looks a totally horrendous team when 3s aren’t falling.

Why play when you can get payed :eek:. Harden and Kyrie are hurt and they should rest. LeBron walking off the court when they were taking the L was just childish.

Utah just being sloppy tonight. Not hitting the paint very hard to draw fouls and just turning it over too much.
