Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) Allen is the best of all time. But Morrow is an absolute sniper. That he is. But give it some time before you start talking about the greatest shooters ever. I'm not about to put Kevin Durant in the greatest scorers company with MJ. And I totally forgot that Morrow is a GT alum. So that obviously explains his comment. lol.

Neither are guys like Nash and Allen. And shame on me for forgetting about Chris Mullin. That boy could shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, there isn't a doubt that Morrow is a very good shooter, but to say he's one of the best of all time is a ridiculous hyperbole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 04:39 PM) Definitely. Certainly doesn't hurt that they've faced the 11th easiest schedule in the Eastern Conference this season (26th easiest overall), but they've done a good job handling injuries. If their schedule was a bit harder, it's pretty obvious they wouldn't be 19-6 right now, however. When your team is winning, injuries or not, there's no reason for any player to ever speak poorly of a coach. That was my main point. QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 04:54 PM) The thing against that is we have played more games than most teams while dealing with injuries and I think played the most road games in the league or close to it. QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 3, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) All valid points, but I've said this before and I'll say it again, I'd rather play 25 games against the Bobcats, Wizards, Pistons or Raptors than play 19 games against good competition. I didn't realize how lopsided the home/road stat was until KC wrote this: When the trip concludes Feb. 12 in Boston, the Bulls will have played a league-high 20 road games to just 10 at the United Center. Thursday's victory over the Knicks concluded their 10th of 17 back-to-back sets, and they already navigated their lone back-to-back-to-back test in early January. Even though the Bulls will be playing some tougher teams more, including the Heat, after next week they'll have a 2 to 1 home to road ratio left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
