Bulls win and still lose, while Goodell and Kraft agree on a joke.
The Bulls recorded a nice win over the Oklahoma City
Thunder Wednesday night, but in typical Bulls fashion, that wasn’t the biggest
story surrounding the team. But first, a
quick at the game.
The Bulls won easily by a count of 128-100. Jimmy Butler led the way with 28 points and
Dwayne Wade added 18 in a balanced Bulls attack. Six Bulls scored in double figures, including
Christiano Felicio and Doug McDermott who had 11 points each.
Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 28 points but
failed to record a triple double with a line of 28-5-8. Westbrook is having a great statistical year,
but it isn’t translating into wins.
Kevin Durant’s move to the Warriors looks pretty good right now.
Careless whispers
While the Bulls win was nice, the bigger story coming out
of Chicago is Jimmy Butler reportedly telling the younger Bulls that management
had planted a spy within them. The spy is allegedly former Bulls player and
current assistant coach, Randy Brown. The Bulls are devolving into the joke the
LA Clippers used to be. They’ve
surpassed the Sacramento Kings as the NBA’s most dysfunctional team.
Former Bull check casher and rarely seen guard, Rip
Hamilton, substantiated Butler’s story.
I’m surprised Hamilton was able to pick up on that as much as he was
injured. Hamilton was a poor pickup by
Bulls management at a time when they needed a guard with an outside shot. The acquisition of Hamilton with the hope he
would be the two guard the Bulls needed is, in itself, another evidence of the
ineptitude of the Bulls front office.
Back to the Future
In other NBA news, Magic Johnson has been hired as an
advisor to the LA Lakers. If Johnson is
sharp, he’ll tell the Lakers to make sure they don’t hire Phil Jackson as
Lakers GM.
What a fool believes
As the Super Bowl approaches, NFL Commissioner, Roger
Goodell, continues to insist that he would be welcome at a Pats game and would
have no problem handing the Lombardi Trophy to Pats owner, Robert Kraft. All I can say is, Roger’s salary seems to be
in direct proportion to his level of denial.
Of course, Kraft has said that many Patriots fans would
welcome Goodell to Gillette Stadium.
Sure, much like the Indians welcomed Custer. If Goodell goes to Foxboro, he needs to be on
the lookout for Patriot missiles. If
Goodell was shot up with truth serum, I suspect he would say he’s a huge
Falcons fan this week.
More next time.
