how much fun did you have watching this game? http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200504240CHI.html Because I had a lot of [expletive] fun that day and I'm OK with admitting that. A lot of fun. That whole season was fun, but that's because they were young, it was the first time they were good in seven years, and like umfan said, they had a pretty bright future going forward. Teams like Golden State, OKC, and probably the Wolves as soon as this year only got better by being really bad over the course of time. Of course, you have to actually hit on the draft picks when you get there. I don't care for GarPax at all, but the one positive that the Bulls regime has always had is that they're actually pretty good at drafting players. I just don't get what the Bulls end game is. As of right now, they're going to be in probably the same position next year as they were this year. A .500 team that would either get smoked in the first round, or wouldn't be bad enough to get a high lottery pick. And then you waste another year of Butler as your highest asset while you still aren't any closer to contending for anything anytime soon. Being a .500 team sucks. Being a 3-4 seed can be fun even with no chance of winning it all. The playoffs themselves are fun provided you have a chance to win the series.
