This is really becoming another golden age of the NBA. There is more talent in the league right now then there has been in a real long time.

I highly disagree.

Is it?

 

Rip's contract is pretty bad to say the least, and he doesn't exactly have great 3PT range, which a SG probably needs in Chicago's style of offense I'd say.

 

As much of a headcase he may be, J.R Smith could be a better option, and he's got an expiring contract to boot.

I don't think you could be more wrong here. Rip is a good 3 PT shooter and is absolutely lethal coming off screens. Smith is a bulk shooter who is inconsistent. Rip fits WAY better on this team.

I highly disagree.

You'd be incorrect. The league is more diverse and has more talent than ever before... and there is a lot of competition. Hell, the s***ty teams even have entertaining players to watch.

Blake Griffin is silly.

God I hope he's in the dunk contest. I haven't watched one in about 4 years and haven't cared to. I'd clear my schedule to catch that show.

Tell me that #3 Kemp isnt exactly what Griffin did. Stacey King opened my guys to how similar players they are.

Hopefully Blake avoids the buffets.

And the unprotected sex so he doesn't end up with kids from like 10 different women.

I like to see the Bulls dominate a s***ty opponent.

Bulls up 35 with 2 to go in the 3rd quarter. And THAT was why I liked the Ronnie Brewer signing. And there it was again.

 

40!!!!!!

I think that before you join the NBA, you should get a vasectomy.

 

Free sex, no risk (outside of STDs).

 

You can always have it reversed.

Fans...please don't start taking for granted how awesome Derrick Rose is. He makes it look WAY TOO EASY.

Id rather have the 10 kids, never know when youll need a replacement kidney or liver.

 

Bulls up by 50. Lolz.

Ronnie Brewer.. insanely underrated.

As far as a pure basketball standpoint decision, you would be correct. Smith has immense talent and is still young at 25 and will be playing for a contract. He can handle the rock (be that secondary ballhandler when Rose is on the bench or even in the game which helps him immensely), shoot threes at a high rate, score in iso, create his own shot, excellent athleticism on the fastbreak to complement Rose, better player for a dribble drive motion offense (helps Deng catch and shoot off screens or cuts, Boozer in the post, etc or off the bench for secondary scoring). Problem with J.R. is the guy just can't seem to get his head out of his ass, is prone to chuckling when he gets hot (or trying to get in a rhythm) which can stall posessions and can get very selfish. Now, can Thibs help him with that? Can the Bulls vets keep him in line? That remains to be seen. The pieces to getting him will be very low I would think, so it's doubtful the Bulls will have to give up, say a Gibson, Brewer type to get J.R. (probably fillers like J.J., Bogans and/or a pick) Bulls management is obviously hoping to strike gold. (which can also be a risk) A guy like Affalo is the much better fit and player the Bulls need, but Denver probably will not move him.

I'd say I find it highly doubtful unless he's decided on his own to get in line. It's not like he hasn't had a support system of veterans and a good coach in Denver. Billups, Karl, etc.

You just gotta love those guards without a shot.

 

He's not underrated at all. He's known exactly for what he is.

This is the largest margin of victory for the Bulls since....?

This is actually a really good question. You would obviously think to look back at the dynasty years. But I really can't recall them winning a game by 45+ points. And back in those days I used to record the games. I do remember a game during the 72-win season in which they scored the first 20 points of that game against the Hornets. But they only won by 35 or so.

 

Didn't take long. They waxed the Antoine Carr, Bill Wennington led Kings by 47 back in 1991. That is one horrific looking roster. http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxsco...9102220CHI.html

When I saw the Bulls lead by like 30ish, I immediately thought of last year and that game against Sacramento...don't know why.

I immediately think of that NBA Finals victory over the Utah Jazz. 96-54 (42 point victory).

 

f***in' A that was hilarious.

That was the game in which Pippen took about 12 charges. Yeah, that was something to behold. To hold any NBA team to 54 points in a game is mind-blowing enough. A team of that Jazz caliber?
