RE: Have The Bulls Bypassed the Celtics In The Standings?



what a load.  I would take twon over Brand 7 days out of the week, even
with his boston market meals.  Hardly a slam dunk, at any rate.  Your VP vs.
Miller 
comparison isn't even flame bait; Miller is nothing but a bigger brad
lohaus. Pierce is
our two guard and griffin one of several 3s, so that is meaningless,
Crawford
is completely unproven even at the college level.  As Tommy Heinsohn would
say,

Gimme a break!
