    I havent seen you in a while. Never come back to the Orlando board huh? Your team is still crap, and always will be. Jerry Krause is still a racist. Weres DailyNBA at?

    SNOWING YET?

    I poke my head around the Orlando board to see what you guys are talking about from time to time, but then I always make like Grant Hill in the playoffs and do nothing...

    Dont really vist your board. No need to make jokes about a team thats a complete JOKE. I think its time you change your name.

    How far do you see Orlando going this year, honestly?

    Still a hater?

    I don't go back to the ESPN Bulls board anymore...hang out on realgm.com...go there if you want to see daily...he goes by the name bullsnews.com and has a website with the same name...

    Don't care what you think---I just know that a lot of teams will be surprised, really surprised, if they let their guard down. Only a ditz wouldn't agree that the Bulls have an interesting mix of talent and that all they need is some time...

    Never was a hater...just realistic. Orlando has the same problem Milwaukee does---their unbalanced. Nice team...really nice...but you need a credible post threat to offset all the perimeter firepower you've got. Without it, you'll never get past Philly. And no...Stephan Hunter isn't as talented as Kwame Brown, Eddy Curry or Tyson Chandler. Doc is smoking some serious stuff if he believes that...

    It's interesting: Krause drafted Brand because he hoped to team him with McGrady and Hill. You'd be the bomb if you had Elton Brand.

    Second round of the playoffs and out...IF Hill is healthy.

    Steven Hunter has been a big surprise in camp so far. Doc said hes gonna see a lot of minutes this year. Watch tonights preseason game and watch this kid play. Hes a 7footer 19 years old with lots of potinal. Jermaine O'neal-Marcus Camby type player in the future watch.

    I'll say it "YES' he is the best, Paul Pierce is a close second however. As the season unfolds you will all see.

    UMM Probably because hes doing good in camp so far. Hes gotten a lot of floor time with Ewing injury. Hes been blocking shots, and rebouding. Has done really well with Hill and McGrady.

    Came to camp in shape.

    I know it hurts, this year you guys will be lucky to win 10 games.

    Why????

    We're more talented and older than we were last year. We only won 15 games, but we lost another 15 because we didn't know how to play in the 4th quarter. The start of the season will be rough---we have atough schedule to start---but things will smooth out after that.

    Hey GB,

    Don't know if you've posted this already... In your estimation, how many games do you see the Bulls winning this season (if everyone stays healthy, etc.)? Where do you see them finishing in the East? Compared to other teams in the lower half of the West?

    Oh...we'll be so far behind the top teams that our place in the east won't matter. But I expect the team to win anywhere from 24 to 28 games.

    gettin hasselled sounds nice. He seems like a player. There were some other names I liked better, but he seems the perfect complement to Curry and Crawford...

    I can't believe I just bothered to read a flame war between a Magic fan and a Bulls fan...

    Why bother, guys? The Bulls might be really great in 4 years, or they might totally suck. No way of knowing yet how Curry and Chandler will turn out. They're a work in progress with some big question marks.

    The Magic are a nice team, but I don't think anybody actually wants to argue they're set on the interior. I think they'll win the East this year, actually... and then lose in 5 to LA or Sacramento.

    What are you guys actually disagreeing about?

    Nothing just like picking on the Bulls fans. You cant lose.

    I think its between Magic and the Bucks for the East. Sacramento and Lakers in the West.
