The Bulls may be getting a new patch to place on their uniforms, a picture of an M1 Abrams inside a circle with that diagonal line running top left to bottom right.

Watch out. Here they come?

“Look at the East.

There are certain rules of life to live by. You don’t take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same day. You don’t learn when your lips are moving. You don’t play pool with someone with their own cue, you don’t eat at a place called, “Mom’s.” And you don’t make Mike Dunleavy mad.

So how bad was it for the Bulls Saturday at the United Center in a 105-83 loss to the Dallas Mavericks?

What’s the word for that again? You know. When guys are happy, six of them scoring in double figures, when you have a season-high shooting percentage, a whopping edge in rebounding and a high number of assists? You know what I mean, when you score more points than the other team? Oh, c’mon, what’s that again?

There’s ice and there’s electrical stim and there’s massage and there’s ultrasound and there’s heat and manual therapy and soft tissue and joint work and muscle relaxation and all the conventional remedies for treating injuries.
