  1. The Nate Robinson game and game 1 vs the Heat were fun as horsefeathers.
  2. The problem is, there hasn't been an upset in the last 6 years in the East. LeBron goes to the finals. You can even extend that to the Celtics before that too if you want. You can't say anything can happen when anything hasn't happened in a decade. And yes, the Cavs are a thing and will be for the forseeable future, which is the point of not being good without being great. Right but with the Cavs being a thing for awhile you can suck for a long time and probably build a not great team or have a not great team now but still enjoy a team like David said. Plus lebron has a lot of NBA minutes in him now. One injury to him and its wide open. I still wish we got one more shot at the Heat before Rose got hurt. We weren't far front beating them in the conference finals despite what the final series tally was.
  3. I like things like legacies and best teams ever and watching the best players ever do what they do. It's probably some Bill Simmons built BS or something but oh well. Hoping my favorite team wins a championship isn't on the top of the list of why i like NBA basketball.
  4. Basically all you can do is build a solid team. In the East it takes just one upset and you could be in the finals. Good, solid teams have won championships before they don't typically win many and it is still rare. This is the most difficult sport to build a champion and my enjoyment of it doesn't really come from that. But i say always try to build while leaving cap space, in the future trades could happen, injuries could happen, the conference could really fall to horsefeathers like the early 2000s or even last year would have been if the Cavs weren't a thing. I can't think of many teams who've had success with a complete tank job, it's an idea that sounds better in video games or in theory than it ever actually ends up being. Plus with Butler, the guy came out of no where to be what be what he is. He's still young and if he improves more you got a superstar player. Not saying it will happen but nobody expected what he is now either.
  5. Well, we are when the injured guys are playing
  6. Well if you're gonna go through a bad stretch I guess having the tying run in scoring position in three of them is okay. I miss winning though
  7. Valentine feels like a very Chicago Bulls pick.
  8. I kinda think an all out tank is an overrated team building tactic. I don't like trading a young, talented player for nothing/a flier
  9. Who started the thread about him being broken? You're a jerk
  10. Only if was for, like Wiggins or Simmons, basically someone young and a potential superstar. I don't see them getting that for Butler.
  11. I get being ready to move on but i don't feel hatredor anything. He gave me lots of good memories I'll miss. Its whatever though
  12. I mean, yeah i kinda get it but it's kind of like Sosa. The dude did a lot to make this franchise fun and i can't get to a level of hate for him. what did sosa do that would make us dislike him? also, rose gave the bulls 3 years. sosa gave the cubs a hall of fame career. i feel nothing for rose. Corked bat, probably used steroids, left the last game the way he did. I didn't care but sosa was polarizing
  13. I don't really understand the joy lots of people were very sick of his [expletive]. it's one thing to have a great player derailed by injury, but it's another to be a dumb ass d-bag. the first part is sad but that ship sailed a long time ago for me. I mean, yeah i kinda get it but it's kind of like Sosa. The dude did a lot to make this franchise fun and i can't get to a level of hate for him.
  14. I don't really understand the joy
  15. The 2010-11 bulls made NBA my possible number once sport (though the Cubs are taking it back) I'll miss him even though he'll likely never return to that year's form.
  16. Cardinals are better than the Mets and Dodgers but okay. Only on here is a team with the 4th best run differential in baseball "mediocre". They are all mediocre compared to us
  17. Must suck to win two games against the first place team and still be 10.5 back
  18. Send us home happy Sczcur or however it's spelled
