Bulls vs. Blazers and the NBA Playoffs (SNES)

To do: The intro is animated and needs to be ripped showing the differences of 1.0 and 1.1.

Bulls vs Blazers and the NBA Playoffs is based on Bulls vs Lakers and the NBA Playoffs that uses the music from Lakers vs Celtics and the NBA Playoffs. No wonder EA renamed this series.
