I guess the only way James isn't shitted on is if he single handedly scores every point in the game, doesn't miss a single shot, and holds the other team to 0 points.

Or...or if he clutches up in the Finals and earns a chip.

 

[T Dollarz]

Deng definitely isn't right offensively, but he's still worth playing in these big games especially for DAT DEFENSE.

 

[DJ88]

He took the final shot...in a 4 point game.

What kinda pressure is there for that?

Make or miss, they lose.

If he passed to someone, it would've been "DEFER" all night and day.

 

[SephCast]

Even though John Lucas did really well shooting, I still hate his guts. Dude can't run an offense for shit.

Not in this game, but before the injury, even when he didn't really play well, he hit some big threes in the 2nd half.

He's a ball hog.

Nah, he just has to win a meaningful game with a decisive performance in crunch-time, like many of the greats have done.

They should be trying to trade him and Boozer, with Asik, to the Celtics.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

This means nothing. The caught the Heat on a back to back, hit amazing from 3 point line. I still don't think they can beat them 4 out of 7.

You're getting close to Branduil's level, you need to be a bit more aggressive though.

It does mean nothing but if anyone had excuses this game, it was the Bulls. They don't make them.

They outplayed the Heat with their lineup(besides Mike Miller) intact.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Roll the dice? The fuck you think this is Dwight?

 

[T Dollarz]

This means nothing. The caught the Heat on a back to back, hit amazing from 3 point line. I still don't think they can beat them 4 out of 7.

Agreed. Now we're stuck with this team though. Ugh.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Joakim Noah has played pretty great this year after a bad start

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Blake and a 1st for Ramon and Beasly. I can dig it.

 

[DY_nasty]

It does at times even when Rose is out there, too much letting the shotclock run down and throwing up desperation shit.

Deng not being right hurts a lot, he can sometimes bail out the shitty offense with jumpers but he's not shooting well of late.

Bulls had great ball movement in the first half at times but were just playing not to lose and nervous run-out-the-clock ball late.

I hate that as much as prevent defense in the NFL but they got away with it this time.

Not talking about this game in particular, but the Bulls during Thibs entire stint there.

That offense gets thrown off incredibly easily for a contending team. Also, I don't think guys are going to run from the ball any less this time around in the playoffs.

Damn your reverse jinx!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Still finishes better than Cj.

How many times does Cj get to the lane and flop all over the place running into people and not making shit???

I still am cool with him though.

 

[Knux-Future]

The Heat are going to mollywop

Spoiler

more than usual

us on Friday..

Thanks a lot John Lucas III....First you Dagger St.Joes now this.

 

[Flash]

its too obvious all the criticism bothers james lol and thats why ppl give him hell for it. Look and kobe he missed a game winning 3 at the end of regulation and he didn't look like he fuck.

as long as lebron keeps thinking so much about it and taking criticism so personally, ppl are gonna shit on him for it and laugh

Spoiler

and good, he deserves it all

 

[T Dollarz]

No way the Bulls can trade Deng man, come on. Although this would be the time to do it...
AND we could try to bait the Lakes with JL3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yayayaya

 

[Mothman91]

Nets 4.5 games back from the 8th seed. IF they get Dwight, do they make the 8th seed?

 

[Doomsayer]

Blake and a 1st for Ramon and Beasly. I can dig it.

I love the trade, if it goes through of course.

Beasley is a scorer that our bench desperately needs. Ramon Sessions is not Derek Fisher.

 

[SoulPlaya]

CJ just has a hurt ankle, that's all.

Already roping in Sessions my man.

 

[DY_nasty]

JL3 has spent his entire life getting dunked on. About time he contribute to the game of basketball in other ways.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Rip would help that stagnation some by at least spacing the floor and making sure the flow of passing doesn't hit ruts but the Bulls win games by defense and rebounding and probably always will.

I wish they'd get Ray Allen.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

I love the trade, if it goes through of course.

Beasley is a scorer that our bench desperately needs. Ramon Sessions is not Derek Fisher.

and more importantly, he can penetrate to the basket and is shooting a 43% clip from downtown.

 

[T Dollarz]

IF the Bulls got Ray Allen while keeping the rest of the starting 5 in tact (unless we lose Booz and move in Taj, which would be better), we are then favored to beat the Heat, no?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

CJ just has a hurt ankle, that's all.

When healthy, he doesn't always finish.

Cj is as good as his shot is falling.

When it's not, shit hits the fan.

He may have done a better job with the Heat trap of late as Lucas struggled but not sure how well he would have fared.

Noah is the key when the guard gets trapped.

 

[SoulPlaya]

They certainly can.

No one remembers that the Bulls swept the Heat in the regular season last year?

Damn your reverse jinx!

Not trying to. I don't think this Bulls team has a chance in a series with the Heat.

 

[Knux-Future]

Nets 4.5 games back from the 8th seed. IF they get Dwight, do they make the 8th seed?

The East is pretty bad.....

so maybe? They'd have to give up a Pick so they damn sure would try

Yeah Noah helps with that a lot.

 

[Kellen]

It would be so sick if we could get Allen.

 

[DY_nasty]

IF the Bulls got Ray Allen while keeping the rest of the starting 5 in tact (unless we lose Booz and move in Taj, which would be better), we are then favored to beat the Heat, no?

Still not favored imo, but it'd be a LOT closer.

 

[linsivvi]

Damn your reverse jinx!

Worked for the Mavericks!

 

[DJ88]

😭

Not really. I guess I just choose to not sound like a hypocrite, but you know, best GAF and all.

 

[Puddles]

Would SuperBeas start over MWP?

 

[EvilDick34]

Whoever uses back to back games as an excuse as to why a team loses is utter bullshit. It's not like the NBA instituted back to back games just this year. Back to back games are a way of life in the NBA and any rookie or pro knows this, so they need to adjust accordingly.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'll never be a fan of trading Deng.

No offense tonight(hit a few big threes though) and LeBron had 500 points but he played LeBron as well as anyone could on a few isolations late.

If the shot goes down, he makes LeBron work and expend a ton of energy all the same.

Brewer and to a lesser extent Jimmy Butler do well against LeBron but I think LeBron gets frustrated with Deng on him even when he's scoring.

 

[Mothman91]

Would SuperBeas start over MWP?

Don't think so...you guys need some scoring off the bench. Your bench is so horrible...more horrible than ours.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Would SuperBeas start over MWP?

doubtful.
beas would shore up any offensive deficiencies.
ramon, though should start in place of fish.

 

[Black Mamba]

Would SuperBeas start over MWP?

No.

They need scoring off the bench. MWP is not a scorer.

Come on, guys. It's not hard. Why would Beasley start? He's a ball stopping scorer; how does that fit with kobe + Pau + bynum lineups?

ramon, though should start in place of fish

And have Fish run the bench unit?

So bad.

Ramon off the bench but plays 32 mpg.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Still not favored imo, but it'd be a LOT closer.

Who puts the Bulls over the top for you???

 

[ph33nix]

Nets 4.5 games back from the 8th seed. IF they get Dwight, do they make the 8th seed?

That would be really fucking interesting if that team got matched up with Miami or Chicago in the first round


No thanks, I'll take the Bucks instead

 

[Kellen]

I really like Butler sure his jumper looks bad but he knocked down his FT attempts and plays well on defense. I'm hoping he can become a staple in the rotation and play more than once every few weeks.

 

[RedAssedApe]

LOL...at Dwight dodging questions:

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7688989

 

[T Dollarz]

MWP starts, but Beastley gets more minutes.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7zhozff
Yeah?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

No one in the league can stop Kris Kardashian Humphries.

I can't believe he's playing well, he looked so lost early in the year(at least the first game against the Bulls).

A B2B is some thing everybody has to deal with but its far from a simple cop out.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Bulls fans need to understand that Taj is gone after next year. However, then comes Mirotic!

 

[ph33nix]

him and dwight in the same frontcourt would singlehandedly win games off offensive rebounds


fuck
