Chicago Bulls Playoffs Thread

[Andy]

Biggest drawback to tonight's result is now Noah has to go back to Cleveland next week.

I hope he drops another 25/13 on them too.

[Magnetic Curses]

I love LeBron's shenanigans. I WISH the Bulls had someone who was so confident in his skills that he could act like a dufus all the time.

 

Really?

off the court. but he's generally red-assed while on it.

I submit that you need to get on his nuts.

 

i will get on his nuts when he wins a title. i don't think that's happening without a guy who can take the last shot and no i don't mean anthony parker.

 

cleveland ain't winning unless they get a good team to lose interest in an important playoff series.

Titles? Really? Titles are on the level with wins/RBI/batting average when judging a player's worth. Bill wennington has more rings than Karl Malone....so what?

Why wait? That's like saying Jordan wasn't living up to the hype for the first 5 years of his career. Just because a player can't literally do everything all the time for their team doesn't mean they're not living up to the hype.

i am not talking about bill wennington, i am talking about lebron james.

Eli Manning is a better QB than Dan Marino. FACT.

[Keener98]

Delonte West is everywhere.

 

Except for where he should be. On trial for his gun charges that just happened to get postponed till the playoffs are over.

yeah, 6 titles didn't do anything for jordan's career.

no, but i think joe montana was a better quarterback than dan marino.

What? I have no idea what your response is supposed to mean. I was pointing out how it's dumb to act like a player can't be great until they win a title. I never said anything about the titles helping or not helping Jordan's career. What a weird, random thing to say.

[Keener98]

Oh and for the people(Bum) who was saying Rose isn't one of the top PG's in the league. I will give you this.

 

Only four NBA players averaged at least 20 points, six assists and 3.5 rebounds this season — and two of them are in this series.

 

Derrick Rose joined LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade in this very heady company. Which, when relayed to Rose, of course drew his typical aw-shucks response.

 

"That's crazy, man," Rose said. "When LeBron is going like he's going in this series, you just think you want to be like him someday. I'm not there yet, but hopefully soon."

 

Yea, definitely not a top 5 PG. Nope................

Jordan didn't win any(or even make the finals) til he was 28. LeBron is 25.

at some point a player has to win a big game or big series. if he doesn't, he's missing something. i don't see lebron doing it with this team and i don't see this team getting any better.

jordan had some great teams and great players blocking him. said teams were also allowed to beat the crap out of his teams physically.

 

plus, jordan weighed like 150 pounds when he came to the nba, lebron has been a 30 year old man since he was 16.

The sad thing is Bum will fail to acknowledge that stat and continue to believe that Rose isn't a top five point guard in the league.

[Magnetic Curses]

are you guys honestly looking for the approval of da bum? why does his opinion even matter to you? it's like arguing with a guy selling geodes at the bus stop.

[Magnetic Curses]

everything is fine, good night.

[Flames24Rulz]

Not at all. I think it's humorous how he continues to believe his arguments are logical when he's proven that he's wrong time and time again.

So is he missing something or is his team missing something?

[Mike Aller]

yes, dancing all around during games and on the bench and being a general dufus

He is having a good time. He doesn't do it in the face of anyone else. With the exceptions of a few stares at the Chicago bench, you hardly ever see LeBron taunt any player or team. And, Taj and LeBron were laughing when they were talking late in tonight's game, so obviously it is all in good fun.

 

I could understand dislike for a guy like KG, but why for LeBron? It honestly makes no sense to me. Especially when you have a guy like Noah on your team. Somehow because he acts goofy off of the court that makes it OK? I thought his comments about Cleveland were pretty hysterical (and, for the most part, true).

 

Also, the whole title argument is a bit of a stretch for a 25-year old kid. I mean, really? And, in case you haven't noticed over the past few years (and game two in this series) LeBron doesn't need someone else to take late game shots. People stopped trying to use that against LeBron about 3 years ago, so you should probably catch up.

[Sammy Sofa]

And it's not like the Bulls' bench hasn't been talking [expletive] to him.

[Keener98]

Rose and many others expressed surprise James had switched onto him.

 

"That just shows he was kicking their ass," Brad Miller said.

 

Haha, thats awesome. Oh and 42 minutes of play, playing the point guard position, and guess how many turnovers D Rose had? ZERO, that is [expletive] impressive

You can be great but you can't be considered one of the greats of all time without at least one ring. I'd argue multiple titles are necessary to get in that discussion.

 

Anyway, Kirk was absolutely unbelievable tonight aside from the two late FTs so if we're gonna even the series up somehow (lol) someone off the bench will need to produce.

Again, the LeBron hate is ridiculous. He's cut down on the dancing and all of those shenanigans, but it was equally as ridiculous to see him pulling those stunts out.

 

I like LBJ though. I'm praying that we have a fighter's chance at stealing him away from the hole known as Cleveland.
