meanwhile, we are hopeless against Miami in the playoffs
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ycn-8036058
I know this guy is on the Miami bandwagon but dear lord.
If I got Derrick Rose in a room alone what I would do is not acceptable by law. But it would result in our kids.
LOL
That article is one of the most ridiculous I’ve read in a long time.
Save for extremely rare occasions, the best team wins over a seven game series in basketball. And, even though recent struggles have led to the Heat falling below the Bulls in the league standings, the Miami Heat clearly have a more talented team than the Chicago Bulls.
Sure they do. You just keep losing to random teams? Because you’re awesome? I’m sure.
You want to talk about deep teams? The Los Angeles Lakers can bring Lamar Odom(notes), Shannon Brown(notes) and Steve Blake(notes) off their bench. The Celtics boast Shaq, Jeff Green(notes), Glen Davis(notes) and Troy Murphy(notes). These are actually productive benches.
Yeah, I dunno, this guy’s own quotes condemn him here.

You missed the best paragraph:
The Bulls are essentially four players deep before there is a significant drop off in production. After you get passed Rose, Boozer, Noah and Deng the next best players are Kyle Korver, Taj Gibson and Ronnie Brewer all of whom average six to seven points and don’t intimidate anyone. After that, Gibson, Brewer and Korver, the list of players just gets more embarrassing if you believe that’s possible. Unfortunately for the Bulls, they are in no position to dismiss a bench of Eddie House, James Jomes, Mike Bibby, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Mike Miller.
I guess Eddie House, James Jones*, Mike Bibby, Ilgauskas and Miller intimidates someone, somewhere (oh ya, the youth basketball association). And that Gibsos, Brewer and Korver are our only bench players, with no mention of CJ, Kurt Thomas, or Asik. The guys that he listed may not even get minutes over Bogans.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.

Eh. I just got fed up with the idiocy. :P
I only post cotton candy. Because it's delicious.
The bench comments are pretty asinine
He likes the fact that the Heat have big names that are totally washed-up on their bench. The Bulls bench destroys the Heat’ bench in actual production this year. This guy really isn’t paying much attention this year.

In a strange way, all the pressure is on LA in this game
Everyone is beating Miami right now, and people kind of expect the Lakers to win. At this point, I really think it would be more embarrassing for them, rather than the Heat.

the lakers have the same record as the bulls basically
any argument you can make for rose you can make for kobe.
you have to realize the lakers have had like 3 big men the entire year and thats including bynum. theo’s been out all year and caracter barely plays. plus barnes has been out for so long.

Rose needs some bigger games
I thought he played terrific yesterday, but he needs some more “wow” statlines. His numbers have been pretty underwhelming lately. If he doesn’t pick it up, and Kobe keeps winning and playing well, I can see him taking it

But that was only 3 weeks ago on national tv.
And he’s had plenty of clutch performances since.
I actually think he's been pretty bad since
Other than that one stretch against the Heat, which he kinda ruined by throwing up an airball and having two turnovers at the end of the game

After this season
Rose will have a better post game than Bron
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!
Yep
That’s what’s next. He would be unbelievable with it too because we should have a real SG by then for him to dish to if he’s doubled
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
AT 1st i thought that he would never be better than Bron
But then i thought
Rose: Work ethic
Bron: No work ethic
IMO Bron is what he is and I wonder how good he would be when he loses his atheleticism
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!
dont worry as long as bron has the refs he'll be fine
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
As a soccer fan, this totally reminds me of Ronaldinho. (Brazlizian with crazy hair from those Nike ads)
Amazing talent who could have been the greatest, but zero work ethic. He’s now fat and a shell of his former self. Not saying Lebron will tailspin. But, your level of commitment begins to show when you’re competing against elite talent on a regular basis.
I was wondering whatever happened to him
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well

Westbrook actualy has a pretty impressive post game at the moment

id rather have matt barnes than korver tbh. maybe im alone on that
but barnes may be a streaky shooter but hes a good defender and defense isnt something that wavers game to game unless youre just not trying. even great shooters can go cold.
what the lakers are missing honestly is….hinrich
they need a defensive point who can slow down point guards and knock down the occasional three

I would rather have Korer
He just seems to have more of a knack for the big shot over his career.

Yeah, but they already have Artest for that defensive wing player
Korver could fill a more needed role. Artest and Barnes are kinda redundant, even though Barnes is a better shooter. Idk, I just think a deadly shooter like that would make them frightening. Plus, they have the requisite frontcourt to cover up for Korver’s defensive lapses. I think he would’ve been amazing on that team.

yeah i get you
but i dunno. maybe its cause our best player isnt a wing guy. but if lebron/durant/melo are playing the lakers artest/barnes is going to wear them down through a 7 game series.
i agree they do need a korver like guy too but i think they need that upgrade at the point first.
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
I guess if there's anything they're missing I'd say an energy guy/active defender.
They seem lethargic at times, though that might just because they have so many bigs, and that’s the way bigs seem to look. I wonder, what a guy like Ronnie Brewer would be like on this team.
i think thats what barnes is meant to be
but dudes been injured almost the entire year

no matter what kind of team they put together, hoiw star studded they are or how fun they are to watch, underdog etc etc
Knicks fans will always have that sense of false entitlement and superiority that you’re basically forced to hate them. Not to mention the on court reason developed throughout 90’s.
Hating the Knicks is as easy as breathing to me.
My best mate is also a mad Knicks fan, so hes kept me consistently hating them over the last decade.

The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
Spurs won't coast against the Thunder in my opinion
Westbrook will destroy Parker, and Durant should do pretty good against Jefferson too.
i like denver's odds against the thunder in the first round tbh
they are sucha wildcard right now

To bad if any of those guys are being burned
They’ll put Manu on them, and if Manu can catch a bat, he can catch lightning too.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
Durant would shoot over the top of Manu all day long
I don’t think that would be a good matchup for the Spurs.
You sure about that?
Dirk’s killed us in Dallas, but we did a really good job on him in Chicago (without Noah). In particular I remember Thibs switched Deng onto him at the end of both halves and he shut him down. Seems like Noah could cover him as well.
by JSB on Mar 10, 2011 8:58 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
Noah lateral quickness and range really help in this regard.
Not many other seven-footers that can roam with Nowitzki.
I went to that game
Dirk was solid, if he was bothered by it, it didn’t show.
Though in that game, Tyson was hustling out there, and D. Rose struggled.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
You watch the same game as me?
Rose carried the Bulls offense in that game. He didn’t shoot a great percentage, but it was basically a one-man show. He scored 28 points too.
Don't cherry pick your stats
9-28 is not very good shooting, 4 TOs as well. Not saying D. Rose didn’t do good that game, his stat line in the end was good, but it was one of his most inefficient games of the year.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
its still a pretty good game whether its efficient or not
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
Notice how all I said was "he struggled that game"
And then I said it wasn’t his most efficient game. Nothing about him not carrying the team or winning the game for us, nor did I say anything him not being good that game. Merely that he struggled, and that it was one of his most inefficient games.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
i guess its your interpretation of struggle
to me struggling is shooting low , not being able to get to the line, not scoring etc etc.
but he clearly was still able to impact the game despite the fg.
just me maybe
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
Sorry, D Rose has a lot of really really good games this year
In comparison, this game was a struggle and a grind-it-out type of game. I don’t really see how there is an argument for this, all I said it certainly wasn’t his best game, nor one of his really good games this year. D Rose has struggled in games this year, and we still won because of him. Its called an MVP.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
He put the Bulls on his back in that game
Yes, he missed some shots. That doesn’t mean he didn’t play a good game. I don’t know why you are being so difficult on this point.
Every game D Rose plays is a good game
I said he struggled to where he should be. I didn’t say he didn’t put the Bulls on his back in that game, nor did I say anything about him not being good that game. I said he struggled, and it wasn’t his most efficient game. Absolutely nothing about him carrying the Bulls that game.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
I'm telling you he didn't struggle
This isn’t based on stats. It’s based on me watching that game. He was the only Bull that could get shots off in that game. No Boozer, no Noah and Luol shot 3-13.
As a result Rose took a ton of shots with a very high degree of difficulty. Even though he only shot 9-28, he played a good game. Especially when you consider he had 9 assists and 7 rebounds.
I guess we will agree to disagree
I thought this was game was more of a struggle, since he had to take so many high degree difficult shots. D Rose has had a lot better games this year, been more efficient, and has gotten less help around him and we’ve still won (and lost).
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
I don't think we really disagree
I thought this was game was more of a struggle, since he had to take so many high degree difficult shots
I would agree with that. That the game was a struggle. But I don’t think that Rose struggled. To me that was more impressive than a super-efficient game against a bad opponent when the rest of the Bulls were rolling.
I didn't cherrypick any stats
I said in the initial post he didn’t shoot a good percentage. But he played a really good game regardless. It was one of his better performances of the year. He basically single-handedly beat one of the best defenses in the league.
What the are you talking about man?
Maybe you can’t see what we can see (on TV) but he was definitely still bothered by it. Matter of fact, it was mentioned by the commentators several times as well. He came back before he was fully ready because they’d lost so many games with him out.
Perhaps, he still put in a lot of good work on Taj that game
He was still very easily able to out-muscle and out-play out front court (though Tyson Chandler did good). And looking at the box score, yeah, I guess he did struggle.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
I think you might have had an obstructed seat man
You’re impressions of that game are pretty far off. Dirk didn’t play well, and Derrick did.
Out muscle and out-play?
Come on now. He had 2 rebounds, in 38 minutes of play. Our ENTIRE starting lineup had more rebounds than him, and of course, that includes Bogans. Not too sure what you’re talking about still. Maybe you were too busy looking up at the jumbo-tron or watching the Dunkin Donuts face or something.
Notice how Taj got 20 minutes only?
While Asik got 19 (his previous career high in minutes).
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
What's the point you are trying to make?
Dirk didn’t out-play anyone that game. Asik getting so much burn probably had more to do with Chandler than with Dirk.
Taj is a fouling machine.
Not surprised. Doesn’t prove he was “out muscled” or “out played.” Actually might even prove otherwise…
Matter of fact,
Deng played a lot at the 4, once Taj got in foul trouble. How many rebounds did Deng have?
Did you even read my post?
Here, just in case you hadn’t:
He was still very easily able to out-muscle and out-play out front court (though Tyson Chandler did good). And looking at the box score, yeah, I guess he did struggle.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
He = Dirk, correct?
If so, then yes. I did and it doesn’t make sense whatever you’re trying to say.
I don’t care about what’s in bold. I’m disputing what I think you mean in the first part of your first sentence.
Don't worry, I'll read your first sentence and ignore the rest
It’s not like my 2nd sentence admitted that it could’ve been Tyson Chandler that was doing good. Then looking at the box score, that Dirk struggled. I guess, when my 2nd sentence completely nullifies my first, we should only look at the first sentence and assume everything based on that.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
I said I didn't care.
I didn’t say I did not read it.
You made a point tho, and it was disputed. Got a problem with that? Oh wells…
I did make a point
Then disputed my own point. Do you have a problem with that? Or do we need to go 5 more posts before you realize that I argued against my own point in the 2nd sentence?
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
youre sounding stupider and stupider you realize?
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
That's just dumb.
Why post:
“He was still very easily able to out-muscle and out-play out front court "
If, as you claim, you dispute it 15 words later? Like I said a few posts ago, I don’t understand. Couldn’t you just remove that part? I guess not. That’s cool, I guess. Have a nice night.
I made an observation
Then I made another observation as to why that one might be wrong. When making an argument, it’s best to present both sides.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
let him argue with himself
hes doing a good job of it
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
Outside of Dirk
Does Jason Kidd still care you? Tyson Chandler? Shawn Marion?

Those Nuggets from the early 90's were something.
"What do you think, I just dunked my whole career?" Jordan asked Henderson after making a 3.
"You’ve got to miss eventually," Henderson told him.
"That’s what Cleveland said," replied Jordan
I think at this stage, assuming we get out of the east, the only team I wouldn't really wanna see would be the Spurs
They are currently awesome at everything. Offence, D, passing, shooting, 3 point, low post, rebounding, great coach, experienced players, depth and role players that are great at their roles.
When you’re good at everything, it makes it easier to adapt to your opponents and develop a game plan to unravel them, And they do this with a cool demeanor and deadly efficiency.
In a 7 game series they will be very tough to beat.
Boom! Asik, Asik, Asik the room.

Yes but in a series Pop will adapt, they have a lot of options to hurt you.
Hey, we do too I’m not saying they CANT be beaten, I just think they’ll be the toughest in a series for US to beat.
We are a very good team, but quite young and a little mistake prone and streaky at times, Spurs will punish that kind of play in the finals. They have their O and D system fully worked out, their player roles and rotations are clearly defined and understood, they are fully poised for a title run right now.
Of course the age, injury factor for them is always there, but this year I think they are pretty healthy and focused.

I didn’t even know he was in the league. Agree with you on everything else. Their front-court just doesn’t scare me as much as the Lakers or Howard though. I think we match up pretty well.
I agree with you on the offensive efficiency aspect. They move the ball like a really good college team.
Novak's played 11 games for them
I feel better about not thinking of him, when evaluating the Spurs front-court.

then, get picked up by SA and gain Popovic powers and be an important role player in a title run for a couple of months, inevitably some stupid owner will perceive he has value and give up a second round pick for him, which SA will use that 2nd rounder to scare a young underrated, gritty defender who can shoot the long ball.

He didn't leave for basketball reasons
No doubt that he had a better team around him in Denver than he has in NY this year, or likely next year as well.
He had to go man.
You could sort of tell they weren’t really playing as a “team” all year. They’re more of a connected unit now it seems. Like those guys actually like each other. When Melo was there, that didn’t really appear to be the case.
Couldn't some of that be because he made noise about wanting to leave in August?
I blame Melo for the discord. If he took the LeBron approach and deferred any decision until the off-season, they would have been fine. But, he wanted to leave and he wanted to get paid.
Perhaps LeBron deserves some credit for playing his contract out last year, and being willing to take less money.

Most definitely.
I mean he made it clear (by not signing that ext w/them) that he didn’t think those guys or that team he had around them could win. Sure, you’re supposed to be professional and all but the possibility of your best player not being there one day had to take it’s toll on them.
Yeah, as much of a douche that Lebron is
and the whole decision debacle, Carmelo was a lot worse to be doing it DURING the season. His teammates wondering who might go to NY with him, having to answer the same questions over and over again.
And wearing sunglasses during a one on one interview indoors. WTF?
I want to say the Nuggets
Not sure if that will still be true come playoff time. Somehow though the Knicks team scares me a little bit more. I think the Nuggets will struggle if their playoff opponents slows them down. They aren’t a very efficient half-court offense.
i still think the celtics are our biggest threat
pierce/ray is such a terrible combo for us to try to defend. and if shaq is healthy we all remember how stupid the refs can get when it comes to defending shaq

Man, this Knicks team has been bi-polar since Melo arrived. Some really good wins, and some dreadful losses.
Although this is the second half of a back-to-back on the road tonight. Still, a good team shouldn’t get blasted by 20 in the first half.
NY is inconsistent
Melo and Mare that is it. That ain’t a team that is going to far in the playoffs.
did you not see melo's "i do this" game winner
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
no all his shots are the same.
but he yelled “i do this” to the grizz after he made it
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
That was pretty good
And he “do this,” fucker ruined my bracket 8 years ago because of that.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
Glad The Lakers Lost
As much as I hate the Heat … I really hate the Lakers. Plus I have no fear in the Heat both LBJ and Wade played insanely against us and we won. We can beat them in a seven game series. I would rather have home court against the Lake Show come June.
I can't believe that you don't fear the Heat
Yes, we can beat them. But, i still think they’re good. And for damn sure I want to have home-court advantage in that series.
its pretty easy to stop them
boston provided the blueprint for it at the start of the season. and guess who taught them their defensive schemes.
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
I disagree with that
I don’t think it’s “easy” to stop them. What’s your list of teams you are scared of in the playoffs?? Mine:
(1) Celtics
(2) Lakers
(3) Spurs
(4) Heat
(5) Dallas
(6) Magic
celtics/lakers/dallas/spurs in that order then heat and magic are a tossup
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
and to be honest. if the thunder got that far id be more scared of them than mia/orl
westbrook against rose is not something i want to see because the refs totally decide who wins that battle
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
The CELTS
Are the only team that worries me because of Ray Allen … he is a Bull killer. Everyone else in the NBA can be d’ed up. Ask yourself this question who in the Top five have we not beat handly besides Boston. Had the Spurs by a dub on the Cirus trip, should of beat the Lakers in staples but fell apart.
the celtics scare me for that exact reason. every other contender really only has one wing you have to worry about
i dont count the heat cause they have such huge holes in the other spots that we dont have to worry too much about the lebron/wade advantage. but boston is solid at every spot AND their wings are ridiculous
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
To Me
Boston weakness if toughness now. I expect Noah, Boozer, Omer and Taj to dominate the glass now. If I was Thibs I would put Rose on Allen in the series and let Bogans d up Rondo.
hell no.
i absolutely do not want rose chasing allen for the entire game. allen will tire him out if he has to chase him all over on defense AND still carry us on offense.
The ultimate fan experience is no longer courtside seats, it's Keith Bogan's job.
Not at all
Riley fucked up and spent big money on 3 guys that can’t play together. They will never win a ring because they will never have a team around them to compete. Last game LBJ and Wade both had 30 and we played like shit. End result because we are a better team we won.
I’m one of the few fans on this board that think he have a legit chance of winning the title this year as long as we play team D and keep games close. We have our superstar and our silent assassin Deng.
I think a lot of people think the Bulls have a chance to win
I just don’t agree that we shouldn’t respect the Heat as a potentially very difficult playoff opponent that could beat us.
It's the playoffs
I hope the Bulls play every team/game like that team can beat them. But in the long run as a fan, I’m more scared of the Magic, Knicks, maybe even Sixers then the Heat.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
I don't believe that for one second
You do realize that all of our games against the Heat have come down to the last possession. We have beaten the Magic pretty easily the last two times, haven’t played this iteration of the Knicks yet and beat the Sixers by 50 last time out.
http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=310107020
They beat us by 6, after we beat them by 50. I guess, it just comes down to, I don’t think the Heat can guard Noah/Boozer/Taj/Asik for 7 games, if it even makes it to 7 games.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
True
The second game we should of blown them out but the refs let them back in the game in the 4th. Once LBJ and Wade started driving directly into people the refs whistles started blowing. The 3rd game we we’re up and Derrick’s turnovers let them back in the game. We really haven’t had a complete game against them and they have given us their best shots.

I think you're being a bit of a homer
The second game was not really close to a blow-out. They handled us in the first half. Third game was very close as well. I think the Bulls are better right now, but I’m not writing the Heat off yet.
Not a homer ... more a Peter
Remember that blew two bunnies that should of put us up double digits and then Wade and LBJ started that running into a brick wall offense. That ot them back into the game.
I respect them
James and Wade are two of the baddest players on the earth. But our team is better point blank period. From top to bottom better roster, better coach. The Lakers choked tonight because Kobe hogged it up at the end. I’m not worried at all about the Heat.
this is an awesome knicks game
i get to see melo doing that iso jab step knocking down shots AND the knicks are getting killed

Huh
I have always found his game fun to watch, even though I thought he was a bit overrated. He is really among the most skilled players in the game. He has great moves.
most complete offensive game. shame he doesnt play d because he could be a completely different beast if he did
i love the jab step though. i never get sick of watching that jab step

Yep, Nuggets have always been my 2nd team (got family in Denver)
Now I can actually like Gallinari (never really liked Melo either, but that’s cause my 2003 Bracket).
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
No kidding man.
So many people who post here as well said the same thing about Gallo. I liked his game as well but could never root for a Knick. I hope they surprise in the playoffs.
Lol but I did like Melo in college. I wanted them to win it all, haha.
I had Kansas over Texas
Syracuse beat them both. It would’ve blown over if we hadn’t drafted Captain Kirk and had to be reminded about that every time I saw Hinrich.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
wow someone said this is new york's 7th game in 10 nights?
did we have any stretches like that? i know we had a buncha 4 in 5 nights but 7 in 10 is kinda insane

I didn’t want to offend anyone by saying the "f" word or generalizing my statement to any particular sex by saying "gays" or lesbians" or "bi’s" so "homos" is the most "politically correct" term. I’m just trying to be more tact in a tactless blog.

just looked it up:
we didn’t have more than one day rest between january 4th and 24th, which included 2 sets of 4 games in 5 nights. yikes.

Man...
the Knicks are bogus. They have no chance of really accomplishing anything with the way they play defense.
Terrible call.
Landry Fields was not there and extended his arms to draw the foul.
yeah.
and before that, Landry is trying to hit the floater from behind the backboard ? He can’t hit that. He is Not DRose.

never rag on marion
The name of the team is ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS - "I tried to convince them that what they were doing was an aberration, an imbecility, a stupidity without name"
If the playoffs started today
I can’t think of a better playoff outlook then that, except for maybe switching Bulls and Celts.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
oh yeah.
there is a big difference between the pacers and the sixers.
But maybe the sixers is the matchup you need to toughen up.
by JockstrapNoah on Mar 10, 2011 10:57 PM CST up reply actions
The Sixers are so unpredictable
We beat them by 45, then lost by 6. And now, Evan Turner is actually showing up, Elton Brand is playing like he is 5 years younger, Jrue Holliday is playing better then Brandon Jennings, but the thing is, I can see all of that turning around come playoff time and them regressing.
I have no idea what to expect from them.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
He's a pretty good player
I think I remember him giving Derrick trouble in our games against them. Another reason why I want nothing to do with that team in the first round

The first game Bulls vs Knicks
Douglas took so many ‘chucker’ shots from 3 point land, and they magically went in (well all of the Knicks did).
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
You know what??
The Knicks suck. They play defense like the Nuggets on Paul Westhead. Why is anyone scared of the Knicks?
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
72 points in te half
As long as D’Antoni is the coach. No ring
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!
Dallas is really a pleasure to watch.
Offensively, they pick at your weaknesses all game long, create and then take advantage of mismatches. On defense, they do tons of different things, and defend the paint much like the Bulls do. Carlisle has done a great job with this squad. They play the game right.
Meh, I think he's just trying to save face after pretty much embarrassing himself
I said at the top of the thread that the lakers had more to lose with a loss than the Heat. people were expecting the Heat to lose. The fact that the Heat won, and Kobe was the guy that couldn’t close, is pretty shitty for him.

Lol.
Melo with the red carpet defense right there on Dirk. He offered zero resistance, just let him back him all the way down and then hacked Boozer style.
How many more games do the Bulls have against the Knicks
Is it just one more?
Yep, 2nd to last game of the season. At MSG (I think)
We play Knicks then Nets, one of them is home and one of them away. Think its the Knicks, but don’t quote me on that.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
How are the games split?
Bulls play their division rivals 4 times, and the rest of the eastern conference teams 3 times each? Or is it something totally different?
It's confusing and random:
1. NBA SCHEDULING FORMULA
Each team have to play:
* 4 games against the other 4 division opponents, [4×4=16 games]
* 4 games against 6 (out-of-division) conference opponents, [4×6=24 games]
* 3 games against the remaining 4 conference teams, [3×4=12 games]
* 2 games against teams in the opposing conference. [15×2=30 games]

Thanks a lot. That helped.
I knew they play each western conf teams twice. But I see that they play the Celtics 4 times, but the Knicks 3 times. I was wondering what the hell was going on. That cleared it up.
Knicks are the suns with no bench
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!
Are anyone else sick of heats fans
Talking about Haslem like hes a superstar?
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well

He's like what Taj is gonna become
or already is
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well

lol I don't know about that.
Taj is good but Haslem is money and very clutch from 15 feet. I do think he’ll make the Heat serious contenders when he’s healthy.
So
He’s the PF version of Derek Fisher?
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!
when has he murdered the bulls?
oh maybe when tyrus was guarding him …

If Derek Fisher could defend someone whose name wasn't Mike Bibby
I only post cotton candy. Because it's delicious.
Dude, I'm been mentioning recently too.
Fuckers on this one forum I’m on. After every loss they bring him up. But when they win, no mention of him.
He'll definitely help them though
Plus, it’s not like they need another superstar. What they need is a guy like Haslem who will defend and rebound and get in the mix. I really do think he’ll make a big difference. We gotta get that one seed

And lol @ Kobe.
Man, these reporters ask dumb ass questions:
Question to Kobe:
Do you think Wade should be the closer?
Kobe:
IDK, I’m not Eric Spoelstra.
LOL
The TNT crew basically just said the same thing. “Just because there’s a microphone in front of you, you don’t have to use it. Say no thank you”
Isn't it kind of sad
That a team that’ll most likely be number 3 seed has to defend their coach, saying he’s doing a good job, even up until a month before the playoffs begins.
I don’t think Pat Riley is dumb enough to fire his coach a month before playoffs begin.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
Well yes, I know they won't fire him
But it’s still silly for the media to question or even assume that they would, playoffs begin in a month, and they are #3 seed.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
