I've seen them cheer for 100 points even in losing efforts. Scoring 100 doesn't guarantee a win in the NBA. I blame the crowds at Bulls games on Cubs fans really. More of a thing to do/social event rather than a sporting event.

I'm not sure I'd blame that on Cubs fans as much as "ticket prices"

I am only a Sox fan because I have an unhealthy appreciation of fireworks and churros.

Really? I can't even count how many free McMuffins I have eaten in the past 3 years from Blackhawks games. Maybe thats why they look at me funny.

Not me. I'm following the game... not dot races, big macs, kiss cams, or any of that crap. Again, if that is more of your energy than a key AB, go home.

 

I respect that because I go for the game as well, but if you can honestly say that in between a break in the game that you don't pay attention to when they stretch and blow up goofy looking bald men's heads on the jumbotron and can say you haven't cracked a smile or laughed, I don't believe you

Back in the old days...the Bulls had to get to 125 in order for people to win free stuff.

if u want to talk about nonsense, how about all the cheering and ovation scalabrine receives.

It's better than cheering for a Big Mac, IMO. At least it has something to do with the game. He's the human victory cigar. People cheer for him just as the Lakers and Wolves fans cheered for Mark Madsen, or the Mavs fans cheered for Eduardo Najera, or the Pistons fans used to cheer for Darko. Scalabrine has an absolutley legendary status in Boston.

I'd be embarrassed if I were him. Yeah he is in the NBA, but still. He is like that white walk-on that everyone loves on the team because he sucks and only plays in blowouts. How soon before they chant his name near the end of games?

Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Grizzlies guards O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen got into a fight on the team's charter flight Monday after a card game.

 

According to the report, which cited unidentified sources, Mayo owed Allen money following the game and became increasingly angry toward Allen when asked to settle the debt. Several players eventually had to separate the teammates.

 

Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace acknowledged the altercation in an e-mailed statement but provided no details about what caused the skirmish. He said: "The club considers the matter closed and will not comment further."

Are you serious? He's one of only about 450 people in the world that are on an NBA roster at any given time and he has been for 9 years. He has made over $17 mil in his career and even now still makes more than most people. He is still playing basketball for a living. I'm sure he is not embarassed in the least.

If nothing else, it means people are paying attention to more than the scoreboard.

No surprise at all. Sounds like Mayo hasn't grown up at all since high school, which is what scares me about him.

I'd love to sit on the bench in the NBA, it's not like he is making $12,000 to sit on the bench for the D-League Rio Grande Valley Vipers

Tony Allen said "Don't F*** with Chicago"

I could handle being embarassed for his paycheck.

Participants for the dunk contest officially announced. Blake Griffin, Brandon Jennings, JaVale McGee and Serge Ibaka. Apparently LeBron ONCE AGAIN was considering participating but cited concern over the wear and tear the grueling event would put on his 6'8, 260 LB body.

He's just afraid of getting his egotistical ass shown up by Blake Griffin.

The Dwyane Wade-LeBron James-Chris Bosh trio sparked all kinds of debate when they decided to team up and play for the Miami Heat. And there’s a chance that there could be a new trio staring to form.

 

Kevin Love, of the Minnesota Timberwolves, told SI.com that he has talked with both Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook about playing together at some point in their careers.

 

“We all talk about playing together. It’s fun to talk about. When the time comes, we’ll assess the situation and figure it out,” Love said.

 

Just like with the Wade-James-Bosh trio, Love said that the three players began talking about possibly teaming up with each other when they were playing for Team USA.

 

Rose and Westbrook are eligible to sign extensions this offseason, and Love will become a restricted free-agent next season.

 

If the three players do decide to team up with each other, Bulls fans can only hope that Rose emulates Wade, and not James.

I do think Rose is more tied to Chicago than the other two are to their teams, but I don't know if Rose/Westbrook would work well together... give me Love though anyday.

I really don't think those 3 players are as dumb as LBJ, Rose and Westbrook are both PG's and Russell currently plays with a top 2 or 3 player in the league. But WOW

 

I think the main thing we can take away from this is.....BREAK UP TEAM USA!!!!

Javale McGee, haha. After he completely missed a dunk by prematurely jumping? Weird.

If I'm the Bucks, I'm pissed that my injured player accepted the invite.

they better have asked Rose and he declined....Rose + Griffin would have been a sick contest.

McGee is actually a pretty damn good dunker though. Not a bad choice.
