I don't know how long you've been here, but it's the norm for Jeff-DSA to complain about the opposing team's best player after he's attended a game.

He does this for every freaking game. He managed to do one for Yao Ming!

YAO. MING.

You still butt hurt that I said Yao Ming gets away with over the back calls? He does, er, did. I like Yao, but he did. I was one of the first to sympathize about his injuries too, bro dude.

The Jazz fans also often miss/mention Boozer as seen in many of their posts.

You'll have your frustrations him BoozIR one day too. We gave him lots of chances here, but he was pretty disrespectful and he obviously sat out way more games than he needed to. No heart. No loyalty.

 

[SephCast]

Well I'm not gonna go down ever friggin position there is and answer your questions. Anyway, back to square one...dunk was amazing. Stop hating. You're obviously 99% of the population which loathes the team that made the league interesting again.

I was gone for a couple hours, but I want to revisit this. As die-hard NBA fans, the league should always be interesting to us. I am just as interested in this year's Bulls as I was last year, while the Bulls were struggling to be a .500 team. Frankly, I don't give a shit if the league is more interesting to the "mainstream" public. It's always interesting to me.

It's after midnight, guys.

Save the shit talking for tomorrow when the Clips get blown out by the Sixers and the Jazz get their asses handed to them again by the Pups.

Karma.

It's funny, if a player pulled the McHale on Rambis clothesline on a guy today, people would be screaming about how much of a douche and a bitch he is, and how if this were the 80s he would have gotten his ass beat.

If Kevin McHale pulled a clothesline on Rambis today, people would say "If he played against Laimbeer, he would have gotten his ass beat!"

But the question is, why would a former Timberwolves GM clothesline their current coach?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I think I'm on the Rose for MVP bandwagon. I tease Bulls-Age about his shooting volume a bit, but man, I can't pick anybody else out above him at this point.

Coach Sloan liked him.

I'm not butthurt. Everything looks like an over the back when you're 20 feet tall!

I think RC may have an answer for that.

It's hard to knock a guy for taking bad shots when he's almost always the main reason your team wins.

I live with it, I don't think I've ever been pissed off with him all year.

Poor Cj Watson gets my wrath.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Coach Sloan liked him.

Sloan doesn't talk bad about anybody, especially after they're gone. He never even bad mouthed John Amaechi after he made up that crap about Sloan dropping gay slurs at him, which not a single player or coach did anything but deny.

Dwight because he's better. He also gets an achievement for not killing Jameer, Hedo, Gilbert, Otis, Stan, or Duhon. That takes major self control.

Fake "tells it like it is" guy I see.

For shame, Jerry Sloan, for shame.

You're soft.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Yeah, but the NBA seems to have a grudge against him or something. I'm not going to count on him winning it this year.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Dwight because he's better. He also gets an achievement for not killing Jameer, Hedo, Gilbert, Otis, Stan, or Duhon. That takes major self control.

Rose has no glaring weakness in his game(I guess defense but he's not horrible).

He can shoot anywhere, get to the basket, hit freethrows, pass decently, etc...

Dwight often dominates but also is a huge liability at times. He still has a lackluster offensive game and he loses games at the line

He gets by on his brawn and even then that doesn't help him, like in the Lakers game.

I would agree if his team wasn't the 4 seed. They're just not winning enough.

They underachieved and the Bulls overachieved.

 

[SephCast]

Monta, if you come to the Bulls somehow, minimum 8 peat.

 

[masud]

Mvp has always been a skill based award. Sure Dwight is big and fast but he's just not that good at basketball...

 

[Black Mamba]

Monta, if you come to the Bulls somehow, minimum 8 peat.

haha, Monta would destroy the Bulls.

 

[exarkun]

I think we can definitely beat Denver in a series. We have the interior D to counteract Nene and there's no way they'll keep is below 100 if we play decently. Their balance across their roster is tough to deal with, but I think we'd pull it out in 6 games max.

We play them 2x in a three-day span right before the playoffs start. Should be interesting.

The problem with the Thunder is that they are up and down. Losing sometimes to peeps they shouldn't, not pushing the gas pedal when they are up.

Perkins coming in though, has looked nice for you guys. You guys finally start playing good defense when he comes in, kinda find that funny. The Denver series will be 7. If you guys play defense like tonight, then six. But if Gallo comes back (which reports says he is just resting now cause the team has been winning) then it will be hard fought.

Honestly, I'm mad the two have to play each other. If only Denver can lose a couple and play Dallas. Everyone wins in that scenario. OKC gets a first round bye, and Dallas gets poo'd on AGAIN.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Mvp has always been a skill based award. Sure Dwight is big and fast but he's just not that good at basketball...

That's why I always liked centers like Hakeem and Ewing, etc...

I prefer skill to freakish physical manhandling.

 

[SephCast]

Destroy us in which I will be spoiled in how many championships we win and give up on NBA basketball?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Too many chefs???

Or his attitude???

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I would agree if his team wasn't the 4 seed. They're just not winning enough.

That team is so fucking terrible other than Dwight though. I definitely agree that Rose will get it, but I think Dwight should get it. Overall record shouldn't matter that much in MVP voting, just record compared to what the record probably would have been without that player. The Bulls without Rose are still probably a playoff team, the Magic without Dwight are one of the three worst teams in the NBA.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

haha, Monta would destroy the Bulls.

destroy their chemistry.

 

[The Frankman]

Monta would have to play point, so you're giving up on Rose... unless you try to start Monta at SG, but Bogans plays SG and is the lynchpin of the Bulls D. So that's not happening.

Well then Kobe should've won it 05, 06, 07. League really needs an "Offensive Player of the Year" award.

 

[dream]

The thing I like about the Mavs is they don't panic at all. Miami would have had Bosh shooting 3s in the first quarter after the start GSW got off to.

 

[masud]

The Bulls need an Afflalo type player, not Monta.

 

[Black Mamba]

Detroyed as in no chance to win jack shit with him. Dude is a career loser. Of all the Warriors, why not grab Curry?

edit: Monta is very overrated. Shoot first, turnover prone, no-defense playing undersized 2 guard. You can't win with that.

 

[SephCast]

Please note that I was not actually serious that we would win 8 championships with Monta, and yes, I understand he would not coexist with Rose.

Still would take him and try it out (if they can't win a title within next 4 years).



I'm spoutin some mad bs tonight.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Also a "Defensive Player of the Year that is not Dwight Howard" award.

KG should have won it in 2005, but Kobe the other two years, yes.

Jesus Christ Dallas is Gamesharking right now.

 

[SephCast]

Oh btw, I wore this shirt to play basketball tonight.

 

[pilonv1]

that's my Warriors

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Oh btw, I wore this shirt to play basketball tonight.

I like that shirt a lot but it's not quite as cool as my old Rodman "big face covering the whole back(or was it front???) of the shirt" Nike one.

He had orange hair and I hate that color but that was badass.

haha, i know you didn't mean 8 titles. I just think Ellis is vastly overrated and is destined to be a career loser. Shareef Abdur-Rahim of SGs!

That was the most illogical, nonsensical timeout called by Keith Smart that I've seen in a long time.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Because the current one isn't man enough to do it?

I really need to stop being a fan of scrappy underdog teams.

I just saw Delonte's block on Paul George.

He Josh Smith'd that shit.

Hey guys think Rondo will be able to pass Stockton's Season APG record?

Exactly. I love DH but he has to many exploitable weaknesses. I am firmly on the Rose bandwagon as well. The guy is just so skilled and makes the plays they need to win when it counts. I have said it before but I just love seeing the Bulls look strong again.

Cloudy wtf is this!

 

[SamuraiX-]

I don't even know what to think about this post.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Off-topic, but the last 35 pages of Ender's Game is so beautiful and amazing no matter how many times I read it. Absolutely incredible writing and emotional connection. Hopefully Speaker of the Dead isn't too bad (Reading that for the first time tomorrow).

Back on-topic: Al needs to get some light consideration for MIP. Not a ton, not more than LMA, Westbrook, Love, Rose, but a little. He's so much better than last year and has started to become decent at passing and defense while being a 30-15 guy.

 

[diehard]

I don't even know what to think about this post.

People were asking that seriously early this season, why can't i ask it now?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

while being a 30-15 guy.

What???
