Open Game Thread #61: Bulls vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Even the prospect of booing and laughing at Ben Wallace isn't enough to get me excited about being in attendance tonight. Game is early, 6pm CST. Cavs did play last night, so that's something. It was against the Knicks, true, but still something. And despite what my pessimism yesterday may have…

Primoz will bleep your mascot
Primoz Brezec’s sideline antics continue: [A] spy sitting courtside tells me during one timeout the Magaic mascot, a not particularly fearsome looking dragon, was goofing around near the Raptor bench. Seems Primoz Brezec, for some reason known only to Primoz Brezec, took great umbrage at a…

Tonight's Leastern Conference opponent sported a .350 winning record (or .650 losing record if you want to look at it that way), were without one of their best players, and were down by 13 after the first quarter in their own building. Well anything can happen in this league and that's …
