-Loul Deng (Forward) is out for the season for the Bulls. Rookie guard DeMarcus Nelson was signed for the stretch run. There is a slight hope Deng could return for the playoffs, but it's unlikely and the way the Bulls have been playing, do we want him back?
-Believe it or not, the Indiana Pacers have hung in there one more night. They have stayed alive although they are now only eligible for the 8th spot in the East. The Pistons, sitting at 38-40, are 4 games ahead of Indiana with 4 to go.
-The Bulls have the Eastern Conference's 5th best home record at 27-12. However, their 12-28 road record ranks 12th. It all adds up to 39-40.
-Many NBA teams are making active efforts to go green. The Mavericks held a drive where you could recycle old TV's, PDAs, computers, keyboards, and mice. The Minnesota T'Wolves are giving an upper level ticket away for free if you ride public transit on April 5th. The Hornets are giving free parking to the first 100 cars to show up to the game with 4 or more people in the car. Find more of these examples at nba.com and click on NBA Green Week.
-Michael Jordan was among five elected in the Hall of Fame, although he wasn't too happy about it. Like his style, he admitted that he always wanted to keep it where he could come back one day. Now in the Hall, he can't. "I don't like being up here for the hall of fame because at that time your basketball career is completely over. I was hoping this day would be 20 more years, or actually go in when I'm dead and gone." -Jordan, courtesy of the Washington Post.
