Saw this one ESPN today and thought I'd throw it out there: • Tyson Chandler: 9.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 0.5 steals per game; 62.4 FG% and 52.7 FT%; $9.5 million cap figure; 24 years old. • Ben Wallace: 6.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.5 steals per game; 45.3 FG% and 41.0 FT%; $16 million cap figure; 32 years old.

Considering how well New Jersey is playing as of late, I'd rather see the Bulls face Miami early instead. They seem to match up a little better against the Heat and tend to bring it a little harder when they play them, whereas they often seem out of sync when they play the Nets. Bill-As much as The Circus Trip does suck, I'm not sure that the Bulls would have fared much better without it this season, as they were still trying to gel as a team with all the new players in the lineup in the early going. Miami may be defending champs and have Shaq and Wade, but I say bring em on. The Bullies will be triumphant (knock on wood whilst throwing salt over the shoulder with fingers, toes, and eyes crossed).

You know, they would have probably gotten the 55 wins and been the #1 seed if it wasn't for the annual 'Circus Trip'. Maybe Jerry should look into scheduling the Circus a month earlier so the team isn't affected....
