by Bryan Crawford and Quinn Peterson This ain’t Appleson, so don’t you dare laugh. Nope, this is just two cats from ‘The City of Wind’ who happened to get credentials on the same night and joined forces for a recap of the final preseason game of both the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards Friday night at the United Center. These notes are brought to you by Quinn Peterson, the guy who gave you solid pieces on the Chicago PG and the pride that is DePaul Blue Demon basketball; and Bryan Crawford, the guy who was once miraculously healed by the “air-ogance” of Michael Jordan. While Quinn and myself admittedly will never be able to, or try to duplicate the genius of Jake Appleman and Russ Bengston’s classic game note collabo’s, we decided to put our heads together to see if we can come up with something at least half as good. So, with that being said… Talk to the people, Q. Say no more, B. The Wizards looked like they were bored, and ready for the preseason to end Friday nigh...

What Are The Bulls Being For Halloween?

Via Not Qualified To Comment  |  October 27, 2009
What would be the most appropriate costumes for the Bulls to wear for Halloween?  That is the question I tried to answer when writing this.  And I know, Noah looks exactly like Sideshow Bob, but that didn’t seem like the best costume for him in my opinion.  Here they are: Derrick Rose as Jesus Sacreligious? Maybe.  True? [...]

Gilbert Arenas Part I was the tale of an unlikely hero: a second-round pick turned three-time All-Star.
