That was a pretty hard fail there, Balta.Lee kicked our ass in the Golden State game.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 06:13 PM) I'm not giving the Bulls credit for that. Half the league was gearing up for the free agent class of 2010. This organization dropped the ball multiple times in regards to KG, Gasol and to a lesser degree Kobe. They severely overrated guys like Hinrich, Gordon and even Deng. The '07 Bulls with Gasol in place of Gordon or Deng get to the finals. I believe the Bulls would not want to part with the package necessary to get Howard, even if it was possible. I agree with J4L, our biggest FA signing has been Boozer and no blockbuster trades to speak of... Even IF Howard is there for the taking, Gar-Pax won't pull the trigger but I wouldn't mind eating crow if they do snag Howard but it ain't happening.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) But the coach admits that she's better than her brother, who's still on the team. Maybe it's because I played park district baseball, but I don't remember anyone being cut at those ages. That must suck to be that kid..."hey, your sister is better than you at baseball".

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 05:09 PM) And that's dumb. We saw what Kobe did. He called out the entire organization and they got him Gasol, Ariza, Artest (or World Peace. God that's so gay), etc. And two championships later, I'm sure Kobe doesn't regret it one bit. That was a different situation, the Lakers were bad, these Bulls are a legit title contender, whether or not they get it done this year, time will tell but if you go around b****ing and moaning to the press you need more help, you'll get what Howard is getting in Orlando...that team has quit on D12, it's obvious.

Derrick is never going to publicly recruit Howard, he would essentialy be throwing his team mates, most notably Noah under the bus...

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:40 AM) Apparently so, since most of those dunks were from the 90's, it just seems like a very stuck up mindset. There has been plenty of amazing dunks since then. I don't see anything special in that barkley dunk, since he didn't even dunk on anyone. The Kemp and Dr J dunk might have an argument. But I really think the Jordan dunk is more of a historically symbolism dunk (Jordan over Ewing), and a honor for him being the GOAT. Take out the names in that play, and there were quite a few facial dunks like that just from the past decade. But I haven't never seen a more powerful and athletic dunk, ever, like the dunk tonight. Not only did he dunk on Perkins, he took off from a long distance, jumped so high his head was above the rim, and his arm was fully extended, and threw down a thunderous dunk. the contortion of o his legs just made it more aesthetically pleasing. If you don't think this dunk can touch any of those dunk, you need to stop living in another era. The lead up to MJ's dunk is what makes it so amazing, he beats a double team, a double team trap in the corner and serves up a vicious facial to Ewing, he beats 4 different players on that dunk...Griffin's dunk is nowhere that impressive IMO. Ewing>>>>>Perkins

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:11 AM) Oh I agree. Just saying. They got a big road win against a very good Denver team last night and pretty much obliterated the Thunder tonight. If Paul can stay on the court from this point on, they're the best team, IMO, in that division with upside. Donald Sterling still owns them though, he'll find a way to f*** it up in the long run.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:02 AM) I think that might be the best in game dunk of all time, even tops the Jordan over Ewing dunk, which is popularly recognized with the honor Great dunk but I've seen better...gotta also take into account who's the dunkee, the best one I've seen the last few years involved K Bryant posterizing D Howard.

lol@people here thinking we have a shot at that doofus in Orlando...not happening.

I feel good about the Bulls chances vs the Heat come playoffs time...Rose makes his fts or hits that last shot and we all would be singing a different tune. Not saying I'm positive the Bulls will make the Finals but a healthy Bulls can beat the Heat, gotta learn from these tough losses and go from there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 08:00 PM) No, LeBron made or broke the Cavs. Not the Heat. That's ridiculous. LeBron has one of the better "supporting" casts any superstar has had since the 1960's when there were like 4 teams in the league. I'm talking in terms of getting a title, or did Wade and Bosh step up and lead the Heat to a title last year when LBJ was lost in the 4th qrtr and I just imagined the Mavs winning it?

I bet if Rose would've hit those 2 fts and the Bulls would've held on for the W, we wouldn't be having all this gloom and doom in here.We would be talking about a shorthanded Bulls beating Miami at their house, Finals here we come!! Talk about overreation...

Suicide watch, jeez...I'm not saying based off what happened today that we'll beat Miami in the playoffs but considering how all these games have been close, we are right there with them and you gotta be really pessimistic to believe we have zero shot against them.Me, I'm not throwing up the white flag, f*** Miami.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 07:33 PM) Well, forget all this "Wade played like s*** business"... that's the whole point of this Heat team. One guy can blow, but they still have another superstar ready to hit ridiculous shots. Seriously, I just relived last year's ECF. It is what it is... the Bulls can't hang with the Heat. LBJ makes or breaks the Heat, in the end, it falls on him, he creates a match up nightmare because of his size and quickness, if LBJ is off, Bosh nor Wade aren't leading the Heat to a title. We saw what happened when LBJ went missing in the 4th qrtrs of the Finals.We need to figure out a way to get inside LBJ's head, a James Rules perhaps?

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) Did Rose really said to the reporters in the locker room "I miss those two motherf***ers"? Who is he talking about?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 07:16 PM) Meh. Again, I get the whole moral victory spin. The Bulls hung tough against a great team on the road without two key players. Then again, they still manged to lose this game with Wade, outside of a couple of fastbreak dunks, looking as bad as any player of his stature can possibly look (and it wasn't just Hamilton). It goes both ways. Then again, Wade has struggled against the Bulls D going back to last year, he hasn't gone off against Bogans, Brewer, Hamilton on him today.

All in all, when you consider our best man defender and 2nd best player was out along with our back up PG, and the Bulls were a pair of fts from winning on the road, you gotta be optimistic going foward. Rose needs to stop choking on late game fts

QUOTE (TheCut87 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) This is an NBA thread not just a chicago bulls thread he can post what he wants flaming permitted here? Ok

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 05:06 PM) choker Quit trolling, and BTW, no one gives a crap about your daily TWolves updates.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 04:31 PM) Somebody is going to have to do something DRASTIC to deny LeBron another MVP. And it just looks so effortless...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 04:24 PM) Offense really hasn't been the problem here. Bulls shooting 43% on the game, giving up 43%, difference is entirely free throws. Stats are really balanced...usually the Bulls can just hold better than this on D. Deng

Ok, that was a phanmtom call on Haslem.

We need a 3pt shooter to open it up, Heat just sagging big time on Rose.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 04:04 PM) The refs have been fine. The non-flagrant call was bad, but other than that it's been pretty even. Considering both teams have roughly the same number attempts right now, comments like these are just completely off-base and ridiculous. The one were LBJ initiated the chest bump foul that even Van Gundy took issue with was legit? Ok.
