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.
Since when do you have to have 12 stars on your team to win a championship? Who is even saying he's a star? What I can say is on one side where Kevin Love is poor Taj Gibson is elite, and when the games actually matter and Taj is covering Love your not going to see those stats your so infatuated with
Im sorry, what? Are we talkin about repping Brooklyn or ??? Not sure what you mean here guy.
Let me be clear *funk flex voice* The impact of individual post defense is a roose, a facade. A sham. Yes its a bonus to have a lock down defender in the post, but this aint the 90's. Pat Ewing aint walkin thru that door. Dream aint walkin thru that door. Nggas is not gon be 'Yo clear out, he got Love in the post!". Team defense is what matters.
Proof: The Chicago Bulls. Year in year out the best defense in the league despite Carlos ? as a starting 4
Did you see Bosh against Tim Duncan? Soft af. Yet thats the ngga defensively that they played at the FIVE most times, and rode out to 4 straight finals. And they didnt lose to SA b/c they couldnt guard the post. They lost b/c of a whole bunch of other ? , and w/ the bigs it was the lack of rebounding, not lack of interior defense.
So enough with that 'Kevin Love is a poor defender' cliche. Arguably the best center in the league avergaes 18 ppg. Enough.
@ the bolded...you're a ?
@ the underlined...? your ? self
You don't have a great team defense without great individual defenders, guys that don't need help defense because they can play lockdown defense and aren't a liability, Lebron is going to have to anchor that defense and they will be good enough to compete but Chicago is on another level defensively, they have the best defensive big in the game today anchoring the de, a coach that preaches de and a bunch of players that take pride in playing de, Cleveland will be better but they aren't scaring anybody on that side of the ball, Cleveland will live by the 3 and die by the 3 against Chicago
Ohhh ? we got another one. Another emotional ass ngga over sports. hahahaha

Who told this nikka he was Jordan?
Arguably the best SG in the game right now spent the first few years off the bench. -

Yep. Says the ? that were clamoring to have him on their squad the past several months. Same script they flipped on Melo.
You Bulls fans are arguing down Love after being the main ones debating me about his hollow status for the past year. Up in here using the exact same information I used against y'all as if the same would apply when playing alongside LeBron and Irving as opposed to Rubio and f'n Corey Brewer. -

Reaching for reactions, I would only throw in those insults to a clown who throws in a "*funk flex voice*" and multiple gifs instead of keeping it on topic, now he's trying to flip it like I'm the emotional one even though he's the one upset because his lame ass has been getting ethered all over this thread -

lmao that was a quote from rick alderman he was begging his team to foul more
he is too fixated on grabbing the defensive board instead of competing against his man for position there are many instances where he wont fight the pick and roll/pop just so he can be in prime rebounding position which is why k love had the lowest fouls of any regular big last season
? use to do the same ? but thibs had him cut that ? out -
that was the wolves problem this last season they had a huge point differential heading into the fourth but lost all the close games
why? no defense + k love disappeared his per dropped to around 50th or something but thats another story
but the wolves were terrible at d
i like pek hes nice but the guy doesnt alter shots he can body you up and he is a great scoring C but he doesnt block shots neither does love
when your c and pf arent altering shots in the paint you lose -

Have all the Cavs fans been taken into account because it is about to hit epic proportions.

The bold and underlined is what I'll chalk it up to with Love -- for now. When we drafted Harden I was like "this nikka is defensively ? " -- but then our defense got a lil better over the following 2 years so I wasn't sure - then he went to Houston -- Now I know.
If he plays with Lebron and is still exposed as being an obvious wack defender (or even below average) that will tell the story. Defense is a culture too -- If a nikka can actually get buckets and rebounds, he won't waste energy on defense if the coach and his teammates aren't emphasizing it and he's still being considered a great player. -

Ckfree said that not "bulls fans" that's his opinion.Step your reading comprehension up ?
It's hilarious how u stay in your feelins about the bulls who will still compete for the east without melo and love which is why you're mad -
SVG hired Quentin Richardson to the staff. That's what's up, hope he put in the contract he gotta wear a head band and P.E. J's with his suits.

Lol Maybyner Rodney Hilario

thats why im interested to see what system blatt puts in and if he can get his players to respond to him
the bulls really arent a straight up man-to-man defensive team they overload the strong side and force you to the baseline hoping for you to take a long contested two --- which is why they were still able to keep their defensive integrity with ?
but this is thibs we talking about though -

The UCLA team he played on emphasized defense so it's hard to believe that he's just defensively ? . And he definitely has the physical ability to defend. I think it was just that "If ain't nobody else gon' do it - neither will I" type mentality.

hahaha You nggas are really cacklin back n forth like 2 scorned bytches who come together w/ a common 'enemy'. Ol 'The Other Woman' ass nggas lmao Disgusting. -
The publicity alone makes it more than worth it. And ESPN knows this by creating more publicity with a suspension.
His first show after suspension will do numbers.
Brilliant. -
Damn Tim Hardaway joining the staff too. Maybe he can talk his son to coming to Detroit when his contract up.
