Nash is still the best PG in the NBA. That's pretty amazing.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

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.

His jumper is FLAT but he was a solid shooter in college and that will come along.

He doesn't have the numbers to show for but I thought he played really well tonight because he wasn't as passive offensively as he was earlier in the season.

Dude was ready to defend in the NBA day 1.

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

Not after Woodsanity just started. Did you see that game!? 40 point win son!

LOL...at Dwight dodging questions:

This fucker is literally still saying the Magic need to roll the dice.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

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

I'm still keeping my avatar tho

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

I think it is just a matter of being confident for Butler and he looked pretty damn confident tonight, moreso then usual. I thought he played great D tonight against Miami, it is why he was being substituted onto D late in the game.

A solid 2 that won't run from the ball and a general all-around upgrade over Boozer at the 4.

I think everyone would agree too.

 

[ph33nix]

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

I agree with your principle, but I find it weird the other Heat role players looked so shitty when the team rolled through the B2B2B on the road. But whatever, it's just a god damn regular season game

 

[Doomsayer]

MWP starts, but Beastley gets more minutes.

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

That's... a great trade for both parties.

 

[Puddles]

Nash is still the best PG in the NBA. That's pretty amazing.

The two best guards in the league will be 38 and 34 when next season begins.

Sad to see him like that, but he should just make up his mind already.

You don't think Taj can be a starter on this team as that 4??? Maybe not bulky enough???

And I meant specifically, who should they try to get as a shooting guard???

 

[EvilDick34]

Yeah in some way it plays into fatigue but come on, no matter what great teams find a way to win back to backs or triples or we wouldn't have the bulls with only 9 losses thus far.

Some funny quotes in there, in particular the bolded one

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

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?

Its hard to put together a package that would appease The Celts without touching the starting 5.

Then Celts could flip Rondo.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Nash is still the best PG in the NBA. That's pretty amazing.

yea and no signs of slowing down.

 

[Darkman M]

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?



And have Fish run the bench unit?

So bad.

Ramon off the bench but plays 32 mpg.

Glock can run the bench mob with Beas, Fish needs to sit.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Its hard to put together a package that would appease The Celts without touching the starting 5.

Yeah, the Celtics are going to milk those aging players because they still can play and they have that pedigree.

As should they I guess but I am sure even for guys like Ray and Garnett, they are going to try to get maybe too much.

 

[T Dollarz]

Its hard to put together a package that would appease The Celts without touching the starting 5.

That's what I'm thinking... and why the Bulls are unwilling. At this point the only player that we WANT to dump is Boozer. Everyone else is more of an asset than a negative.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Its hard to put together a package that would appease The Celts without touching the starting 5.

For an expiring Ray Allen? Besides, who from the starting 5 could they reasonably expect for an expiring Ray?

EDIT: Korver/Watson/Asik for Ray. Watson is a team option next year.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

my body is ready for a beasley future.
come at me bro.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

GMs are delusional, they'd probably ask for Deng and another player for him.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Lose to the Suns, continue the playoff push.

 

[Levyne]

Bulls would have to throw in 2 of Asik, Taj, Watson, (or Lucas lol)

?

 

[T Dollarz]

ESPNSteinLine Marc Stein
Bulls just gonna play D-Rose and John Lucas III in same backcourt from now on to solve their "scoring guard" problems?

I LIKE.

 

[DY_nasty]

You don't think Taj can be a starter on this team as that 4??? Maybe not bulky enough???

And I meant specifically, who should they try to get as a shooting guard???

I don't play trade machine like srz binez like other people. All I know is Boozer fucking sucks, that offense stalls out like the ghost of Skiles still haunts the building, and everyone other than Rose runs from the ball when it gets tight.

 

[SoulPlaya]

I LIKE.

Hell no.

People can't let this game change their idea of Lucas. He's too inconsistent.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I LIKE.

Most unstoppable backcourt of all time

 

[T Dollarz]

Hell no.

People can't let this game change their idea of Lucas. He's too inconsistent.

25 and 24. Give him minutes and let's find out.

 

[Doomsayer]

OMG Blake Griffin airmailed two consecutive free throws?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Ainge would probably want something closer to Asik/Korver/Brewer/Lucas or Lucas/Asik/Korver and a pick


OMG Blake airballed back to back freethrows.

what's so funny about wanting to fend for yourself

EDIT: And boston might climb into the 7th seed? Interesting. If they do, they might make it to the second round.

Watson, Asik, and Korver.

I would still be fine with that honestly.

Overrated flopper.

 

[msdstc]

KG!!!!!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Hell no.

He's played big for the Bulls this year, you have to admit.

Not sure if anyone knew he was a legit NBA player but there is a reason Thibs liked him throughout his career.

I don't think serious fans think he's the answer but he's a decent sub to get real minutes if the time calls for it.

That isolation on LeBron was the play of the game for me, it was a big shot when it was really needed.

 

[Panzon]

KG more clutch than lebron? Damn strange world we live in

 

[SoulPlaya]

The latter is fine with me.

Fucking Nate.

He's a decent backup to CJ Watson. Lucas is too trigger happy, which only works when he's hot. I like Mike James more, because he works well with the bigs. To me, the key in a 7 game series is consistency, which Lucas doesn't have.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

The latter is fine with me.

I agree, I think Brewer could provide very valuable i the playoffs by getting in passing lanes and his defense alone.

 

[Emwitus]

KG!!!!!

His been balling of late.

I actually like James slightly more than Cj and John Lucas.

Crazy, I know, but I like his ball security.

He might be a mix between Lucas and Cj.

 

[T Dollarz]

Meh, Allen can play some D. i'd like to keep him, but he's expendable for ray allen.

 

[Puddles]

Seeing Humphries put up big numbers is weird. I liked it better when he was a scrub, because it was more amusing when Kim Kardashian was married to a scrub out of all the NBA players she could have chosen.

 

[msdstc]

His been balling of late.

He really has been, I was convinced earlier in the season that it was over for him, but he's just been on fire.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Meh, Allen can play some D. i'd like to keep him, but he's expendable for ray allen.

Yeah, you're going to have to get rid of at least one guy you don't want to to upgrade and win now.
