Scott — When you lay it all out like that, I see — no, I feel — your pain as a Bulls fan. And you didn’t even mention that Vinny Del Negro has felt compelled to start Aaron Gray for most of the season. Whatever his detractors are, however, Larry Hughes still hit the game-winning jumper at the Delta Ce–er, Energy Solutions Arena.

Stinky poops indeed.

(Chest hair?)

I almost want to apologize for the Bulls’ season sweep. The Bulls — they’re not so good. I read in the Tribune the other day that John Paxson is trying so hard at this point to get rid of Larry Hughes that he is willing to take on a similarly horrible contract in return. DO YOU NEVER LEARN, PAX???? So basically we’ve done this: Elton Brand –> Tyson Chandler –> Ben Wallace –> Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes –> someone even worse with a really bad, crippling contract. (In fairness, Jerry Krause traded Brand, but wouldn’t Chandler look pretty good running the break with Rose right about now? I mean, the pre-2008-09 Chandler — the one that doesn’t single-handedly cripple my fantasy team?) Also of note, the deal that cleared the cap space for Ben Wallace [Chandler to New Orleans for PJ Brown] also included JR Smith, who was promptly cut. But Paxson sticks with Thabo Sefolosha and signs Lindsey Hunter? WHAT?!

Stinky poops indeed.

Confession: Erin ghost writes the Jazz posts for me. She loves Kosta Koufos only slightly less than Christian Bale.

Andrew — I know that sickening feeling well. I’m sorry you feel it when we post about the Jazz. Would it help to work in a poop story every time?

Scott — Remember how we’d always look at Matt Geiger and say, “That guy just looks like he has smelly poops”? I still think about that. And I’m still certain he does.
