Seems like the Bulls are really going to try hard for lottery odds this year.

EDIT: Updated with a link to a further story.

I get a locker room fight, but how do you put your teammate in the hospital? What good could possibly come out of that?


 But even small scuffles don't even  happen that often. I think Smart vs Brown had sort of a verbal fight once last December, and the only fist fight recently that I can remember On the celtics was von wafer and delonte west

Yeah, and Delonte was mentally ill at the time. This has got to be quite an interesting story out of Chicago.

exactly. Where were the trainers coaches and teammates? Gotta separate people before they start swinging. I’d love to hear how it all happened

Can you keep a guy on your roster who puts his teammates in the hospital?

Seriously.

He can be their enforcer!

Sounds to me like Portis will be on the open market soon.

If it's any consolation to the guy, Portis could probably make it as an MMA fighter.

Good thing Zeller isn't around here anymore to concuss Horford.

Small fights happen all the time.  They usually don't make it to the media because they're usually nothing - just two people who care about what they do having a disagreement.

This isn't a small fight.  If you injure your brother with intent,  you have no business being on the team.

Cheap shot after a pushing scuffle. Doesn't speak very highly of Portis' character.

Sign me up for Portis! I think him breaking Mirotic's face is low, but otherwise I like the player.

Maybe a Morris/Portis combo could add a little nasty that this team might need in the playoffs.

I wonder if the lack of veteran presence was a factor in this fight blowing up. Chicago is in full on tank mode

Half the guys on this site would probably still trade Rozier for him LOL.
