WHERE YOU AT, SSR?

 

Resting up for the playoffs just like my boys.

 

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

That's what the big pile of money and many beautiful ladies are for.

Boom. Sheen'd.

Predicting high 40's in wins was selling this team way short.

 

Especially since they were better than their record showed last year and played for an awful coach... oh and, sans bogans, pretty much every player they acquired was better than the best player they lost from last season... (unless I'm missing someone huge).

 

I'm no fan of Bogans, and I'm not saying you're wrong, but I do want to give him props for last night. He had an awesome game. He hit two of his three open three point shots and completely shut down Allen. Seven freaking points for Allen!

 

Based on the eye test and looking at no stats, it seems Bogans has turned into a serviceable player the last month or two. He seems to be knocking down some open threes and playing good defense. That's all we really need him to do. The threat of him hitting a three has spread the offense open in a way that someone like Brewer can't do, which helps Rose. Bogans has played a positive role on this team lately. At least in my mind. I'm sure an argument can be made against this.

 

No, I think most people have noticed this. People wouldn't hesitate to replace him if they could but he's no longer a gaping hole of awfulness in an otherwise solid starting lineup. That's all we asked for him all year was to hit the open 3 and play good man to man defense and that's what he's been doing.

Props to Tom Thibideau. Going from Del Negro to Thibs might be the biggest factor of them all. Thibs definitely deserves coach of the year.

 

No one else even deserves a vote, honestly.

 

A decent chunk of the media still seems bent on Pops though. Honestly, I'd say Thibs is definitely more deserving of CoY than Rose is of MVP.

 

Well yeah, because Thibs actually deserves his award.

 

Just curious, but who's been more valuable to his team than Rose this year?

Dwight Howard. Rose has undoubtedly been the best story, though.

Nooooo don't open up this can of worms again!!

 

I'm going to fast forward through this argument.....

 

 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz inefficient zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 43% shooting zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz volume shooter zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz win with D first zzzzzzzzzzzz But Bulls have no other shot creators zzzzzzzzzzzzzz become a closer and team leader zzzzzzzzzzzzz Howard is only good defender on top 10 defensive team zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...ah yes here we are

 

Flamez: I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree.

SSR: [some sort of witty comment that allows the argument to die 4 pages after it started.]

In the "I'm not saying, I'm just saying" department, tonight's opposing PGs both have higher PERs than Rondo does.

Baron Davis has been money for the Cavs. It's amazing how quickly he can flip a switch and care again.

He played 17 minutes to Allen's 38

Doesn't mean Bogans didn't shut him down when they were both in the game.

WHERE YOU AT, SSR?

 

Resting up for the playoffs just like my boys.

Resting? Your big 4 all played over 30 minutes, and that's with sitting most of the 4th quarter when the game was out of reach. You guys got worked, and it was never really ever in question. I hope we see you in the ECF.

Likewise. I don't think we can stop Dwight Howard.

Just put in your Omer Asik.....you have an Omer Asik right?

[UMFan83]

BTW Simmons posted Part 2 of his NBA rankings, had a long section on why Rose is his MVP, and picks the Bulls to lose in 6 to the Lakers in the Finals. Lots of high praise for the Bulls. I wonder how much of that he wrote after last night.

Stein also named Rose his MVP: http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-110408-10/nba-awards

While true, I prefer to call him our "Dwight hinderer"

He was predicting that a while ago when he went on a twitter tirade about the Celtics blowing the 1 seed. So he was probably thinking that (if not writing it) long before last night.

Well nobody can stop Dwight Howard, but you'd rather face the Bulls?
