Magnetic Curses

if rose and lebron were just simply slashers you may have a point, but both have superior court-vision.

He's wrong in thinking that it matters very much that they wouldn't be an ideal fit... or would "never work." i don't see why two guys who can penetrate and have great court vision would not be a great fit. rose drives, you collapse on him, and it's lebron with an oop. sign a shooter to go along with them and you can't guard the shooter at all, you just can't. i don't see why it's so necessary to have a point guard who shoots the three when you can literally have a shooter at any other position. is it a rule that you can only have one guy to dribble-drive on the floor? i think it makes a ton of sense to have two guys who can get to the rim on the floor at the same time. rose has already developed a hell of a mid-range game, he'd be near unstoppable with lebron. unless the insinuation is that paul pierce doesn't make rajon rondo better and that neither is good for the other, and that's paul pierce, not lebron james. Of course LeBron would make Rose better, just like Pierce makes Rondo better. The former opens up lanes for the latter to drive. The question is does Rose limit what LeBron can do because you don't have to close out on Rose at the arc. if rose is the only other player on the team, sure. but who's going to watch rose going to the basket without the ball when lebron is driving with the ball? if the bulls get a shooter in the offseason, when he's on the floor, you have to watch lebron and rose going to the rim, and guard a shooter at the line. shooters are easy to come by, guys that can get to the rim in the NBA with ease are hard to find.

on second thought, you're probably right

They can't sign both. they can, but they won't.

here we go

we can't have everything. noah is enough of a spaz of energy to at least cause SOME chaos down low. quite frankly, if we add lebron and perhaps allen, the lakers and magic will have enough problems on their hands.

Chara is such a goofy looking mother-[expletive].

gonchar wears that A on his sweater too. pathetic.

wow, so lazy, the habs should have had another one there

montreal has pittsburgh on tilt

I was pretty young, but I recall that situation being an ownership thing that soured the fans. But mostly it's just a nostalgia thing. hartford? the whale? they played in a mall, that is sweet in itself.

haha, i remember rodman just [expletive] with frank brickowski in that series, it was vintage rodman.

cleveland sports personalities panic-stricken. "if lebron leaves after getting pounded by boston, he'll be reviled in cleveland and ruin his legacy here, so he won't leave in that case. and if he wins the series, there's no way he leaves because he'll feel so good about things!" these guys are up their own asses in twisted logic.

Giving up on the Blackhawks already? of course

if the hawks can make it past the sharks, i will really look forward to watching them take apart anything that the east can offer.

singular

only your teams what

the bulls have more titles in your lifetime, loser

lol

you also forget that the bulls added arguably one of the best players in europe in 93-94, too.

Scottie Pippen is an NBA Hall of Famer and was in the prime of his career and there were some solid guys around him, and the NBA as a whole wasn't all that great in the mid to late 90s. My point is Pippen's supporting cast was worse than Jordan's in '93 and the Bulls wound up 2 wins worse. Scottie Pippen is probably the most underrated player in NBA history because he was stuck in Jordan's shadow the entire time. LBJ doesn't have a Scottie Pippen. He could come to the Bulls next year, and he still wouldn't have a Scottie Pippen. lebron james is scottie pippen.

i think you're just upset that you missed the boat. all you had to do was wait a few years, but you had to be impatient.

those guys sure do love lebron. but it's just meatball to say you wouldn't want lebron because of immaturity. physically, he's way more mature. off the court, he may be more well-balanced, but on the court, there's no comparison.

Reminds me of a caller a few weeks back that was talking about how he didn't like/want Lebron because he's too immature. MICHAEL WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IMMATURE he wouldn't, but that's no reason not to sign lebron.
