There's several current 'contenders' who won't win a title(raptors,rockets,hawks etc). Won't ever come close either
Lol at all this coming from a bulls fan. Michael Jordan an nem ain't walking through that door. -
i been critical of the bulls this year but as a fan when the playoffs start i'll be cheering hard for the bulls as usual
im not a fan of the direction but the playoffs is the playoffs
i aint rooting for no Ls
part of me is intrigued to see how hoiberg coaches in the playoffs -- its a different thing -- the rotation cant change every game -- everything is scouted out in a playoff series -- celtics staff is top notch -- going iso for 7 games with jimmy/wade wont be ideal -- hoiberg has never really had to make game to game adjustments -- this is definitely new territory i'll be paying attention to (although im pretty sure he will suck at this too) -
Randolph 35 years old
Gasol 32 years old
Conley 29 years old
Allen 35 years old
Carter 40 years old
Wright 29 years old
Parsons 28 years old and brandon roy status
Thats half the team
I mean yeah you can let randolph and allen go but if you do that, "Grit and grind" is dead and will now have to play catch up with the rest of the league as far as play style -
i need two see red shirts for this series
one to tie around my head like juelz santana
the other to twirl whenever christiano felicio scores -

The irony of Freeman cosigning this, the same idiot who thought Sullinger was better than Horford because of his per 36 rebounds per game
Show me where I said Sullinger is better than horford pussyhole. I said he was a better rebounder and you gave that up without replacing it for a difference of $21 Mil. Celtics should have kept the money instead of trying to bait KD with a ? ? .
You stupid ? , for one Durant wanted Horford in OKC as well as 10 other teams who were willing to spend the same amount to get him, two we HAD to spend that money anyway so who should we have spent it on? Sullinger who Horford completely annihilated in the playoffs? Stop ? posting bro those contract jokes were funny when teams would reach and overpay for a player only putting themselves in cap hell for 5 years with nothing to show for it, we literally had to spend the money anyway so why wouldn't we spend it on a guy who...well is a big reason we're on top of the east right now
Yea we really ? that up... -

i been critical of the bulls this year but as a fan when the playoffs start i'll be cheering hard for the bulls as usual
im not a fan of the direction but the playoffs is the playoffs

I said C's in 7 but I think the bulls have a punchers chance.
They have a chance cuz : Jimmy the best player in the series,bulls defense has been elite since asb,their 3 point shooting has been top 7,offensive rebounding/2nd chance points.
They'll lose cuz: Hoiberg,hoibergs ? rotations,the bulls role players mad inconsistent and barely have nba experience let alone playoff experience,boston has better bench,more experience,better coaching,home court.
Wade claims he been cruising all season and ready to play now smdh -
And boston gotta beat the tnt bulls game 4 at home on tnt

i got celtics in 6
celtics are hot
well organized, deep and i think thomas will have something to proof after how his last playoffs went vs the hawks
he will be guarded closely even double teamed but he has become a quality playmaker -- he could have a field day facing a team with little to no identity right now -- either scoring or passing -- bulls will win at least one maybe even two games but thats probably all they have going for them -
Doubling/trapping i.t. wouldn't be smart imo that would get exposed.Throw grant/mcw on him and make him work hard for his points and try not to foul.On screens/switches try to force him into help defense
Heard jimmy might be guarding him in the 4th which is why wade needs to be effective . -
niko my x factor
the offensive rebounding edge is much less pronounced since taj was traded at the deadline -- the bulls do rank as the 4th best team in orb% but thats largely because of their dominance on the offensive glass in the 1st half of the season -- since the deal they have ranked 18th in orb% whereas the celtics ranked 21st -- so while its still better than boston its not by much
the 3 games with taj they feasted on offensive rebounds which kept the games very close
the last game they played without taj they got murdered on the offensive glass and were blown out
it was also the game niko was made inactive i believe
bulls were pretty much below league average from 3 in february and march and were really good in april
bulls have obviously improved at that as the season progressed and seemingly are peaking at the right time
niko in particular since that boston game has been shooting 43.5% from 3
so its all on him lol -
nba and nhl playoffs
mlb season starting
nfl draft
this is the best time of the year for me -
Pacers don't have the power to compete with Cleveland...but it'll be interesting to see George go off

If they don't go guard, i wouldn't be mad if they took Tatum from Duke or Isaac from Florida State. If they do go guard Monk would most def be a good look. That kid gets buckets. That Lakers pick is huge. If Philly lands 2 picks in the top 8...
Tatum is at the top of my wishlist but doubt he's still on the board if we end up picking 5-7. We need a go to scorer on the wing. Him and AG would mesh really well
Monk is a perfect fit for y'all tho. Simmons is running the point next year and you need a shooter that can operate off of the ball and that's exactly what Monk is. It makes too much sense not to happen. My only concern with Monk is his lack of length and strength. He's also a little hesitant attacking the rim. -
Man if this don't get Melo out of NY nothing will. Have some ? pride about yourself lol
-
Amazing the whole year team defense was trash Because you made them play defense against a offense nobody strictly runs and it never got addressed you kept bumass Kurt rambis and didn't let Jeff do what you hired him to do smfh -
I better see jersey picked for All NBA

Phil took all that trade clause leverage and threw it out the ? window. ? . -

Damn Phil telling Melo to beat it"We've not been able to win with [Anthony] on the court at this time," Jackson said. "I think the direction with our team is that he's a player that would be better off somewhere else and using his talent somewhere where he can win or chase that championship."
Told him go be a ring chaser. Sad
