A millionaire is not all it is cracked up to be. That's the 1913 (buying power) equivalent of $40,000. Now a millionaire in 1913? That's a rich dude.

Who would you rather be, a millionaire now, or a millinaire in 1913?

It depends on how you look at it. If you were a millionaire in 1913, most likely by now you'd be dead.

Bulls lost again tonight to the Clippers, without Brand and at home.

No way this 0-4 Bulls team should beat the Pistons...., However after they got knocked out last year by the Pistons, they may have enough drive in them to get the job done. Pistons just have to contain Gordon, Deng and the Pistons assasin Joe Smtih. The Clippers slowed little Ben (Gordon) by putting Brevin Knight on him and Big Ben was just a no show..with 6 boards and 1-6 shooting including at least 2 blown layups....what else is new????

The present is a gift.

All you could get at that time is a first class seat in Titanic. I would rather be half millionaire now.

normally, this is an easy game. Bulls should be 0-5 after this game. my worries would be if the pistons take it for granted. I hate the fact that we have not changed our attitude. We still go the 4th quarter down by lot of points.

We don't know if the Pistons will take Bulls for granted. Sure, based on the last couple of years we don't know which Pistons team will show up for the game. However, lets not make any hasty predictions. This season is young and there are some changes in the attitudes. Lets hope that "switch" technique is not in use this season. Also, just because Chicago lost four games doesn't mean that they can't go off against Pistons. Gordon can heat up and go for 30. It is not going to be an easy game no matter how Pistons play. Bulls know that they have to stop this losing streak, because it will only get tougher to get back into the race.

I don't know...I've watched three Bulls games on League Pass and they really look bad. And we are looking pretty crisp IMO. I'd be shocked if we lost this game. Now later in the season when they get their act together they might be a team to reckon with but right now I think our challenge will be not to get complacent after we are up 20 points at the half. I'm looking so forward to the game anyway. I like the Bulls and I love the Pistons. So I'm psyched.

I looked into tickets to the Bulls/Pistons games last year. My dad lives near Chicago. My God, those tickets are a fortune. I see families sitting in those seats. Little kids. That's an expensive family outing.
