The Bulls still use the Alan Parsons music for their player intros. I wonder if they pay royalties each time?

I wonder what the total $$$ into Mr. Parsons pocket has been?

My first free saturday night in 4 and a half months. Lets get this Mavs!

Honestly I think they have to have lifetime rights. I can't imagine the Bulls owner would be happy with a recurring payment for opening music.

Lets get this Mavs!

Lets get this L with Coop getting 30 shot attempts.

Probably about triple what the Mavs have paid the Who

[SleepingHero]

This team looks better with Gafford out there than with AD.

I'm a little bit happy AD is out because now the Mavs can properly lose. Hopefully they can get a top 3 pick, and then flip AD in the summer for a package that fits Kyrie/Top 3 pick/Washington/Flagg/Lively(Gafford).

A trade for White would include White's fro.

[SleepingHero]

That is the most random ejection I've ever seen. Of course Foster was the one that issued it.

[Smitty]

This game is a perfect DLO, Martin, and Hardy time. Tank!

[david75090]

DLo, Powell and Hardy get to play now that Kidd is sent to the locker room.

[SleepingHero]

Pretty fine with seeing that trio out there.

Just want as many looks for Cooper and Nemby as possible.

And Max!

Only G-leaguers get that called an offensive foul. Incredible officiating tonight. The school of the blind must be proud.

Regardless. (Was not an offensive foul). I like the Kelly minutes…

[david75090]

Kelly made a non-basketball kick-out with his foot.

From the last angle it looked like he kicked his right leg out. Not sure why he did it LOL. 

Poor Hardy 100% from field and gets pulled immediately. Thompson 1-5 keeping shooting # trade value. 

I really do not understand what this franchise does. You either want to trade Hardy, cause you hate him, then you might want to let him play shooting guard, when he is shooting perfectly. Or you develop him as a young player on a three year contract then you play him in a tanking season, too

The only logical reason not to play him right now is cause they are worried he impacts winning too much. And I doubt that is their thinking. Whatever you think of Hardy it´s once again idiotic behaviour.

Your love for Hardy is admirable. Keep fighting the good fight!

[SleepingHero]

Love seeing Coop attack.

[Mavs2021]

It has f*** all to do with my love of Hardy. It´s another piece of evidence of reckless stupidity like drafting Satnam Singh. I have been telling you for 20 years that if you do DUMB ILLOGICAL SMALL THINGS all the time it does matter. Cause then comes the moment you do DUMB BIG THINGS like trading Luka Doncic for Max Christie and one 1st round pick. You can be sure the next one is just around the corner.

They think Hardy is a losing player. They want to lose games. They want to trade Hardy (or they want to develop Hardy as a young player under long term contract). So give me one logical reason he should not play 15-20 MPG in a tanking scenario right now.
