interested to seeing how Kyrie nd Waiters adjust to being spot up shooters neither one of them have shown they can play without da ball outta his hands
-
I don't wanna hear about no ? Bulls front court when ? just got SmackedDaFuckUp by Gortat & no first name Nene
The hate you have for the squad is reaching epic proportions. You can actually sit here and say the Bulls front court didn't get significantly better than last season. -

Could probably be the best trade for an allstar in recent memory. No one ever gets value for a player who wants out. Minnesota made out like a bandit.

Well uh Love... ends up with the ball he doesnt have the ball in his hands but i agree with the sentiment
Also what happens to his rebounding numbers.....
its gonna be interesting to say the least -

Kevin Love one less free agent for summer '15 That's Aldridge,Love,most likely marc gasol and irving who won't hit the market which leaves rondo and if he isn't traded by then several teams will go after him.There's gonna be teams wit mad cap space to overpay marginal talent

I think loves numbers will be affected more than kyrie's on offenseBlackAX410 wrote: »interested to seeing how Kyrie nd Waiters adjust to being spot up shooters neither one of them have shown they can play without da ball outta his hands
I think kyrie will be fine let's not act like he can't shoot. Plus I don't think he'll be completely taken away from ball handling duties he's not Chalmers. Waiters will be gone soon anyways. Cleveland could have kyrie/Beal on the wing with Bron but they drafted waiters overrated ass. -
I don't think waiters is overrated nobody said hecwoukd be a star or had high expectations for him he can ball tho

Cleveland is going to be such a good regular season team I can't wait
That frontline is suspect and that's with love.You got the bulls winnin the east?
Well yea they arent 6 deep at the 4 and 5 like the Bulls
Aint that many minutes to go around. Yall gon have problems w/ that. Cleveland-
Varajao/Haywood
Love/Thompson
Bron/Marion (small ball 4)
Only question is Haywood, havent seen him play in a minute. If he is what he used to be thats all they need from him. Most nights they'll play mostly w/ Love at the 5 and Thompson or Bron at the 4. Ngga they good.
So explain the difference between clevelands frontcourt and
Noah/Taj
Gasol/Taj/Mirotic
Lol @ the bolded that interior defense will be worst than miamis was.You think you know but have no idea what you be talkin about.You're just enamored wit big names like all casual fans are
Well first off the frontcourt includes the 3. And cleveland has that guy. That means "Mcbuckets", who cant play the 4 b/c yall are so deep, will get the 'come sit next to me' treatment vs Cleveland
But lets say if you mean to say the 4/5.
The interior defense, NOT REBOUNDING (there's a difference) may be a problem. Ok, and? Who's out there to capitalize on that? For yall, Gasol somewhat, but Varajao is more than a competent defender. And its not like Gasol is turnin the clock back and goin off. And as far as drives to the bucket, DRose the only guy yall have to do that!
That leaves Noah and Gibson in the post. Umm, ok, since when did they become world beaters on offense. Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Haslem locked them up in 2012 playoffs. Dont make me post them playoff stats for Noah like i did before. Aint nobody worried about Noah and Gibson scoring. Its the rebounding, there's a difference. And Love (12rpg), Varajao (10rpg in 28mpg), and Thompson (9rpg in 31mpg) all board up.

This goes without saying you're giving him the attention he desperately seeks.Should of ignored his wacc ass struggle trollin -
And yo
who gave yall creative license to keep talkin about Taj Gibson like he's about to be a breakout star. The ngga is almost 30. Came into the league at 24. He is and wil be what he is: a back up power forward. He's not turnin up. Stop that. -
The hate is strong in here lol

Don't lose sight of the context. I'm talking about in comparing Cleveland & Chicago. I say Chicago is number 2.
The Bulls added Gasol to their front court with McDermott likely at the 3.
We gonna act like Gasol is toughening up a front court now like he isn't notoriously known for being rather soft?
Gasol isn't out scoring or out rebounding Love at the 4.
And Noah is without a doubt better than Varejao due to his leadership qualities but they both posess the same hustle & drive. Look at their player comp & tell me the vast difference that makes it SO CLEAR that Chicago is better than Cleveland.
Don't sleep on Thompson off the bench either & potentially Marion's defense at the backup 3.
And don't let Ray be the one starting as a spot up 2 either so they can save Thompson, Waiters, Marion & Miller for the B squad. -
I dont get the Beal fascination, hes good but nothing special. Needs to get to the rack more. The definition of a volume shooter.
-
Without a doubt*

Y'all gonna let the Bulls disappoint you all again.
Talking about Cleveland's front court not having depth. As if there's any difference between that front court and the ones from the Miami teams that were smacking them around the past several years.
Varejao >> all of the 5's during the Big 3 era
Love >> Bosh
Bron = Bron
Waiters < Wade (Healthy)
Kyrie >^100 Chalmers
Now its correct -

Bulls will not be out rebounded they've been a top 10 rebounding team for the last 4-5 years.Mcbuckets will play the 3 and Jimmy butler will defend lebron.Mcbuckets will defend the mike millers,james jones or tristan thompson he can be hidden on defense so he won't be sitting anywhere.Taj gibson averaged 18 ppg in the playoffs last year including a 32 point game you continue to expose yourself.Pau will eat vs anyone they put on him.Noah has never been a threat offensively in his career he can defend,rebound and pass the ball his intangibles/hustle and ability to defend multiple front court positions is what he does.I didn't even mention the euro
"Nikola's game will translate extremely well because he has inside-outside capability," Blatt said. "He has the size to take advantage of mismatches if he does play as a power forward. He has the speed to dribble around guys. He's a legitimate rebounder and has physical size and presence. He's a very, very tough kid.
"He was a matchup nightmare in Europe. That will be interesting to see, how Tom Thibodeau decides to play him. I can't speak to that piece. But physically and athletically and skills-wise, he can swing between positions and take advantage of mismatches."
This is the cavs current coach opinion on the euro.Bulls can play small or big and match up wit the cavs -
*Sees 100 new comments since last night.
*Hurries, clicks thinking Lebron succumbed to his illness or Shaq signed with the Cavs again...
*Sees it's just the annual Greg Oden offseason news.

But it's by votes I'm just saying it's a possibility I didn't say it was probable -
