Yeah that's crazy. Was really hoping the Pacers could help the cause. Wild though

[wesmore24]

I want to see a rematch of the Bulls and The Heat.

[plustheharm]

Yeah man. Way the injury bug is hitting the Bulls though. I think Deng is only expected to miss a few, fortunately. Been a rough year.

LOL @ LeBron's purse. Far as I'm concerned, the way that man is playing he could wear a hairpiece and get away with it. XD

It's always a circus here. I'm tired of it. He needed to go though...

[Lethal_NFS]

2 things.

1. This is the Chicago Bulls year to win it all.

2. New York needs to trade Mello and let Lin lead the team again.

[$Greatness$]

It's official! The Miami Heat are th biggest frauds in basketball! You lose and the reigning league MVP isn't playing? Lolwut? Absurd! And the Knicks need to send Melo packin'. I'da fired his ass after that nonsense he pulled last year in Boston. 15 secs left you down 1 and you eat clock and shoot a three with 2 heads in your face. Major fail.

You guys are over-reacting...lol


Wade 16-26 shooting, Bosh another bad game 5-15 shooting and our bench didn't support as before. Meanwhile, we are still left without a legit center.


Greatness, worry about your Spurs getting past Dirk and Durant. The last two times that Spurs played the Heat, they were blown out

We'll house your asses when it matters most. You know, because like, Lebron likes to play in the playoffs with two hands around his throat.

Have the Chicago Bulls ever had a legit center ever? The Miami Heat lost to the bench of the Chicago Bulls. End of discussion.

Over-reacting....


To answer your first question: Yes, Joakim and Asik, they aren't the All-Star type but they're legit at Center. Why? Rebounding was the main reason we gave up to that huge lead. Chicago has the BEST quality of players. You saw how we came back to ALMOST tieing the game? ECF Game 5 flash back? Ok, that's how Miami is going to run. Who's Joel Anthony? A shot block defensive type. He doesn't have the strength to fight back. Miami's Bench wasn't there, neither in the game against Orlando. Yes, we lost to their bench.

Now please, don't attack me...

A new ERA has begun...hope your team will last long.




EDIT:

Once New York get their defense ready, the whole league is screwed.

lol, Noah and Asik are not legit centers at all! That is like saying Will Perdue was a legit center. And the Heat almost came back to beat the Bulls bench....... The Heat never should have needed to come back. The Bulls 3rd string guard made the Heat look like crap. That game was very important for Miami and they could not defeat the Bulls when they were missing the league MVP.

The Bulls are the best team in the NBA because they play TEAM basketball. I lost count at how many times a Bulls player dove for the ball.

The Heat are like 4-4 since the All-Star break.

[robvandam111]

The Bulls do play TEAM ball. The center position doesn't always have to be about rebounding, blocking shots and every thing else. It's the size that they bring to the court that matters the most. Which was the reason why the Celtics would have killed the Heat last year if they didn't trade away Perkins or had a healthy Shaq.

Joakim averaged last season a double double, plus his size matters too. He's 6'11, with his shoes, he's 7'0. His wings are big too, just look at those biceps.

Joakim has biceps now? lol, he is too skinny. I would love to see the Bulls trade Noah and Deng for Dwight Howard.

Watching Deng run with the ball is a horrible thing to watch. He is a terrible ball handler and runs like he has to take a crap. I love the Bulls but I really do not care for Noah or Deng.

[plustheharm]

You don't think Jo has enough muscle? He definitely bulked up, turned muscle in his years with the Bulls. Even last year you could tell. Jo will never have Howard's arms, shoulders. But he doesn't need it. He's strong enough and can bang with almost anyone in the paint. Now if he is going to start working on a post game (which he isn't) then maybe I think he could do with more work.

And Lu isn't that bad with the ball in his hands, hardly the worst ball handler on the team (Korver). I mean, it may not be the smoothest, prettiest handling of the rock, but I think his length is what makes it look more "awkward" than anything. And if we're making fun of ANYONE on the Bulls that runs funny ... hands down it is Ronnie.

And I could maybe understand someone not liking Noah, due to his attitude, but he isn't demonstrative like KG. He is just a high intensity dude. Lot of cats like that in the league. Either way, you can't deny this dude is a total team player, hustles his a** off. I want people like that on my team. They change games. They bring it night in, night out. He's also one of the better rebounding bigs in the league and is easily one of the best passing bigs. I will say I get sick of seeing him holstering the guns after hitting just one 13 footer ... but whatever. Something we can live with.

And Deng? What is there to dislike about Lu? Besides, apparently, the way he runs ...

And I'm glad to see the Knicks rolling. Coach was a big problem and obviously Melo was another issue, but coach had to go before you really take a look at Melo and your options. Now, obviously, we're only into a few games after the shift ... but things looking up. Big WTF with Portland too ... such high hopes going into the year and shit just crashed. Literally. With Crash going to NJ. Gerald has an option coming up, I hope for the sake of the game that he uses it and goes somewhere he really wants to play. That dude has been a pro's pro through the years, if anyone has earned it ....

Dwight Howard...

Dwightmare.

Loved SVG's "I'll go home and find something to do" line.

I hate Shaq too on Inside the NBA.. calling SVG bush league only because Shaq himself was the biggest crybaby wherever he went.

How can Shaq of all people comment on "class"... Yes Shaq was a great plalyer and will be in Hall of Fame but his commentary.. he sucks.

[plustheharm]

I hear ya. I've never really cared for Shaq, even less so when he takes to the table. But I did think the "I think we can stop calling him Superman now" comment, as they were breaking the other night, was pretty funny.

[Firefox]

Watched the Bulls Knicks game yesterday.. what an amazing game, even though Chicago lost that was amazing. Sad how they lost though (4 straight missed free throws)

[plustheharm]

Yeah that was a HELLUVA game. Rose tweaked an ankle in the game ... doesn't sound like he'll play tonight. SMH
