 I didn't realize how sucky the Heat are and that could easily be a win in two weeks.. Presently the Raptors are struggling and Bosh has seemed to lost some of his cool. 

"It's like if you look at the schedule right now and see Toronto, I'm sure people are checking something in the win box"-CB4

More here. This is great news!

I mean assuming the Bulls can get healthy here I think the break in the schedule might be enough for the Bulls to sneak into the playoffs. The next three games still look rocky. But after that there might be some light at the end of the tunnel. 

Of course this is assuming the Bulls can get the key players healthy and it surely depends on Noah returning sometime in the next few weeks. Who knows what he can even bring after being out this long. 

Joakim Noah ran some during Sunday's practice, but no target date has been set for his return.
The fact he's running is good news, and despite being shut down for three weeks, coach Vinny Del Negro said Sunday he could come back a bit earlier than his March 24th target date. "As soon as possible is the answer, but we have to be smart about it," Del Negro said. "We’ll just have to monitor him, see how he feels tomorrow. Then if he’s feeling fine, we’ll give him a little bit more." We're still not sure he's worth rushing out to pick up, but it does sound like he could return to limited minutes by the end of the week.

Still a big hill to climb but maybe it can be done?

I've never seen a NBA player

trash his teammates like Bosh trashed the Raptors. That was epic. It was like he had a prepared speech. My favorite part -

"We’re not playing basketball the way we need to. I guess for some reason, we don’t like to secure a lead and we don’t like to win basketball games."

Yesssss

this is all I am hoping for, CB4 in the summer!

This was also a funny quote

“I don’t know. I’m glad I’m not the coach. I wouldn’t know what to do either.” So I guess their coach is as clueless as VDN?

Wow

Joakim on whether he ever tried tennis: "I played a little bit. If anybody on the Bulls wanted to play me, I would kick their ass."

unbelievable. what a rant.

"Oooohhh, cat in the wall, eh? Now you're talkin' my language."

Does anybody

have a link for the Bosh rant? I would love to read it.

it's on the fanshots

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

seriously

if anyone thinks that he is staying in toront where they will NEVER win a championship outside of Hockey then they are crazy.

lol i'm going to the game v the nets

been hoping noah would play… so hope if he does return early vinny doesn’t burn him out like he did before.

The important thing

is to get everybody back as soon as possible. If they can do that and maintain there sanity after possibly losing 10 in a row, there will be some winnable games after that to make a run.

The Heat have a tough schedule right now.

They have a cake April schedule. They will make a run in April.

Wait. I’m guessing you mean the Raptors.

There may be a ray of sunshine in the near future

I was watching WGN-TV tonight and Noah was shooting and hitting a couple of jumpers in the background. He seemed to be moving fairly well, after which he was riding the stationary bike.

Maybe he will make a surprising triumphant return sooner than we have anticipated. Even if I’m being overly optimistic, not to worry, we still have Richard to fill in for him until he’s ready.

If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.

The video I saw

he was running on the treadmill too. Here’s to hoping he gets back soon.

OK I don't know shit about basketball.
