  1. Wow, this is just stupid. Why do you think the Bulls schedule is "cake"? Why don't you look back at their schedule so far this season, look at their overall record, consider Boozer is still getting into form, and then tell me why Bulls fans are excited A 15-8 record while playing the toughest schedule in the NBA mostly without Boozer, and we won't find out what the bulls really are until April? Awesome By the way, the Magic have played the 4th easiest schedule so far. Our schedule is ridiculously easy for the next three weeks, besides the Christmas game against the Knicks. If that doesn't qualify as cake, I don't know what does. You misread my post. I agreed that it's cake
  2. They've been a 3, 2, and 3 seed under Van Gundy and gone to the Eastern semis, NBA Finals, and Eastern Conference Finals. That's not underperforming. so have they gotten it done in the playoffs or not? based on their records in those years, i think the results in the postseason have definitely been disappointing. they won 52 games in 07-08 and then flamed out in the second round without putting up much of a fight (acceptable) they won 59 games in 08-09 and reached the finals because of a weak eastern conference (taking 7 games to beat the KG-less celtics that needed 7 games to beat the 41-41 bulls), then get destroyed by the lakers in the finals they won 59 games last year and get beaten easily by the 50 win celtics im just syaing based on their regular seaosn records, their recent playoff performances have been disappointed. i don't really think i'm in the minority here either. i think most magic fans would agree with this.
  3. so the phillies have the 2 best starting pitchers in baseball, another one that's in the top 10, and another one that might be in the top 10. unfair. that bullpen is going to get a ton of rest with halladay and lee going back to back.
  4. Also, I think it's funny that a big part of your argument has come down to "we'll see who is better when the playoffs come" when you're a fan of the Magic.... a team who keeps proving that thy can't get it done in the playoffs

  6. If you don't think the Bulls and Magic are in a similar position this year in terms of conference finish in the standings, then you're being a homer. 9 out of 10 people who aren't fans of either would view both as a step behind Boston and Miami, currently. Just because the Magic are a bad matchup right now for the Bulls specifically, doesn't mean a whole lot in terms of the teams' outlook for the season and playoffs. I never said the Bulls wouldn't finish near the Magic in the standings. They'll probably indeed finish 4th. What I basically said is that ranking them ahead of Orlando right now is BS because they've done nothing to prove they are better. And again, it's being assumed that the Magic being ravaged by the flu has somehow weakened the team for good. Without the flu, Orlando is at least 18-6, most likely 19-5 and nobody is calling Chicago the better team. and without the boozer injury and playing the toughest schedule in the NBA, the bulls are probably close to that record too [expletive], if not for a melo miracle buzzer beater and a knicks miracle 3 point shooting display, the bulls would be 17-6 right now. see, i can play that game too.
  7. 107-78. In Chicago. the magic lost to the raptors at home. are the raptors better?
  8. wtf? best rotation of all time. that is just ridiculously insane
  9. yea i think he might miss a few games, but that seems like nothing compared to what it could have been. i was having d-lee flashbacks i'm concerned about his stroke now though. he was on fire from 3 and was getting more and more consistent. now he injures his shooting hand? grreeeaaattttt
  10. the penguins went 47-28-7 after they won the cup i can't believe that the most likely scenario for the hawks is that they are going to miss the playoffs, but it is. my expectations were low this season, but this is just sad.
  11. they just don't care. there is no fight, no energy, no hustle, nothing. i know there's going to be the "hangover" and whatever from winning the cup, but this is inexcusable. i don't care how many players they lost, the ones that are still here are giving the effort that i necessary. it's becoming a truly embarrassing "defense" of the stanley cup. it's beginning to feel like we never won it at all.
  12. yup. i was already indifferent for the most part, now i'm just done. if they aren't interested, then neither am i.
  13. this team isn't making the playoffs what a disgrace
  14. he admitted recently that part of it is his own fault. he talked about how growing up playing "in the park" he'd do everything he could to avoid contact because there were no fouls there, so he's trying to adjust. hopefully he doesn't get too extreme, because i don't want to see another scene like tonight. that was terrifying. i thought he was done for the season
  15. Watching a Hawks game on an atdhe.net feed reminds me of last season
  16. watched the end of it. huge win for the bucks. it's been said over and over on this board, but skiles' teams really do play hard still want to see them beat some better teams. the only impressive win they've had during this streak was the win at utah. new orleans has lost like 9 of 13 or something like that. i'd go like this as of right now 1. Boston 2. Miami 3. Chicago 4. Orlando 5. Atlanta 6. Milawuakee 7. Indiana 8. New York I really don't think the Bulls at 3 is a homer pick either, even though you could easily put Orlando there. We've had the toughest schedule so far, were without Boozer until recently, and are still only a half game worse than Orlando (though they did get screwed by the flu bug). And I think the knicks are still getting way too much hype considering they've played the easiest schedule in the NBA. Their upcoming schedule is bruuuutttalll
  17. rose came back in and played the rest of the game so i'm assuming he's fine. they'd know if it was broken and he wouldn't have come back in (when d lee broke his wrist they knew on the field it was broken)
  18. 22 and 18 for booz? damn, didn't even realize
  19. yea at first i assumed it was just the wind knockd out of him but when i saw walk off holding his wrist all i oculd think was "40-42"
  20. at this point i want him out of the game and put into a protective shell.
  21. it's the bulls, of course it's broken
  22. like, that's a season killer if it's broken
  23. oh great this could be extremely bad
  24. haven't had that feeling since prior took the line drive off the elbow.
