On the bright side I get to ingest oxycontin and some other good stuff for pain so I’m flying even higher than usual with the Bulls victory. Today has been almost perfect, The Cubs rallied to pull one out, as usual the sun is brightly shining here in Tucson with temps in the low 80’s, the Bulls against all odds have made the playoffs, Tyrus is playing again and the best news of all based on Gar’s not so cryptic remarks that these issues will be resolved right after the season is that Vinny will soon be history.

Especially since revised versions of the incident now have Vinny as the instigator of the physical contact. Based on their recent play, both Rose and Noah deserve to be all-stars so the Cavs will not be able to coast in this series. I see them taking 6 games to put our dynamic duo away, but not without a fight similar to last year’s Celtic battles.

I also feel had we kept Tyrus and Fish (with Fish getting lots of minutes at the 3) the Bulls would have had a chance to actually go 7 and possibly even squeeze by the LeBrons, although I’m sure the NBA officials would never allow that to happen. Instead of Warrick and Murray we would have had a pretty strong 7 man rotation with Fish and Kirk sharing minutes at the 2.

July is going to tell the fans if all the front office’s manipulations were worth it so Reinsdorf better be willing to loosen the purse strings to compete for the top free agents. After Rose and Noah demonstrate their max skills in prime time, I think Chicago may become a popular place to land, especially if Deng can awake out of his late season slumber, Kurt becomes Kirk once again and Pargo is allowed to fall out of the rotation.

Go Bulls, Go Joakim, Go Derrick, Go Taj, Go Kurt, Go JJ and last of all, Vinny just please go.

health of the players, yadda yadda yadda
