lol LeBron choke.

That game nicely summed up LeBrons career so far.

Afraid to take the last shot? Pretty much. Even Kobe was giving it to him in that situation. (especially when he was taking the ball out of bounds) This guy should be the best to ever play the game (has every talent imaginable in one guy, extremely blessed) and will still be a H.O.F. cause of his gifts, but I'll always say "what if." Hell, if he had half of Kobe's drive/will he would just be even more insane. (probably would have a championship or two by now also) Just my personal opinion.

Thibs took play the enemy and sit your team to heart. I like it.

I think the East is going to come back and win this thing. Has Deng even scored? I was cooking some garlic shrimp pasta during the 1st quarter so wasn't paying a ton of attention. Did Deng even play much?

LBJ is putting on a show. He truly is an amazing talent. I hate him but he is incredibly gifted.

Whoops. I'm on tape delay (DVR'd it), so I should point that out.

Sounds like the Magic are going to pursure Steve Nash or Jose Calderon pretty heavily before the deadline and not trade Howard.

 

Imagine we'll probably have to look at Redick + others in a deal, but whether we have the assets to actually pull one off is very doubtful. Nelson, Redick, Justin Harper plus 1st rounders in 2012 and 2014 is the best I can come up with for a Nash + Shannon Brown deal for example.

I honestly don't see how that is racist. Maybe all Chinese restaurants should stop giving away fortune cookies too.

Comment from a user at ESPN:

"Perhaps they should've replaced the fortune cookies with turnovers."

Looks like Wade broke Kobe's nose.

Kobe Bryant suffered a nasal fracture in tonight's game, Lakers say. Dwyane Wade hit him in the third quarter.

 

Los Angeles Lakers ‏ @Lakers

 

INJURY UPDATE: on.nba.com/xDFX6g Results of a CT scan revealed that Kobe Bryant suffered a nasal fracture in tonight's game.

 

Here it was.

 

 

I agree. Non-asians, especially whites, should dictate whether something is offensive towards asians or not...

Do the Bulls have a 2nd rounder?

 

I want Marcus Denmon. Dude could be BG like next to Rose.

Here's Woj ripping into James for passing.

Watching Derrick and Luol in these games is awkward. They are the anti-All-Star Game type players. They don't want to be flashy at all. D-Rose just doesn't give a s*** because it doesn't count.

 

And yes, I love that.

@WallaceNBA_ESPN: LeBron confirms that Kobe was telling him to shoot the ball; led to late turnover."

This is why I love Rose. He's such a down to earth guy.

This Bulls/Dwight Howard thing, whatever it is, feels like a presidential election.

 

For months, maybe longer, you ponder each candidate without coming to any conclusions.

 

Then you go into the voting booth and pick one on impulse.

 

So it is with the issue of whether the Bulls would be better off trading for Howard or staying the current course.

 

There is a difference: In too many political elections, the choice is between two negatives; in the Howard/Bulls decision, the choice is between two positives.

 

The Bulls are good without Howard. They would be good, or better, with him.

 

No title is guaranteed either way with the Miami Heat’s LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in the way.

 

OK, now for Decision 2012: I’m in the booth and impulse tells me that the Bulls should do everything possible to acquire Howard.

 

The whole conversation likely is moot. Howard hasn’t listed Chicago as a preferred destination and TNT reported Sunday night that his mother says he’s staying in Orlando anyway.

 

All that said, the Bulls should figure out how to trade for Howard because of the snapshot during Sunday night’s NBA All-Star Game.

 

The East’s starting lineup included Howard at center and the Bulls’ Derrick Rose at point guard.

 

They looked awfully good as teammates, didn’t they?

 

The question is whether the Bulls at their current best could beat the Heat in a seven-game playoff series.

 

The answer is yes, but only about three of 10 tries. That isn’t enough to recommend the status quo for the Bulls.

 

As constituted now, the Bulls could be chasing the Heat for the next three or four or five years.

 

A lot of NBA teams learned what that feels like in the 1990s when they had to line up behind Michael Jordan and the Bulls.

 

Today’s Bulls can gamble that when injured Rip Hamilton returns, this will be one of those three of 10 years they would upset the Heat.

 

The odds aren’t good enough.

 

Miami beat the Bulls in five games last season and the Heat is considerably better this season.

 

So it would be a shame to not explore all the angles, for the Bulls to not offer Orlando their roster minus Rose and for Rose to not recruit Howard.

 

There is one qualifier here. Howard would have to agree to sign a multi-year contract to stay with the Bulls.

 

Some suggest that it would be OK to acquire Howard before the March 15 trade deadline, take a run at the Heat this spring and if he leaves after that, well, suck it up and rebuild.

 

No, no, no. Obtaining Howard isn’t for the short-term. It’s for the long-term. It’s to build around him and Rose so the Bulls can compete with the Heat for a few years.

 

The Bulls are good now but good wouldn’t be good enough to beat the Heat, which is capable of being great unless injuries decimate the James-Wade-Bosh force.

 

Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that it’s impossible for me to be objective on this subject.

 

The truth is I do look at Howard and see the nearly perfect NBA physique, 6-feet-11, 260 pounds, athletic, muscular but not muscle-bound.

 

Seriously, though, I don’t want to bring Howard to Chicago just because he reminds me of myself when I was younger.

 

This isn’t about me, it’s about giving Rose another superstar to play with.

 

Decision 2012: Just do it.

I have heard 2 different rumors this morning already regarding Howard, and neither imply the bulls are involved, sadly. One has the Lakers getting him via 3 way trade with Toronto, the other(which DBAHO stated) was the Magic going all out for Nash.

...and not a single f*** was given that day since it's not going to happen.

I love that the All-Star Game is going to mess with LeBron's head even further. The only thing that can stop the Heat this year is LeBron. This is where a year of college ball would have helped him. He'd have had to fall in line with a respected coach on a huge stage.

 

Instead, he goes straight from ESPN-televised high school games where he gets phellated relentlessly to an awful Cavs team where he got phellated relentelessly and everyone considered him the savior.

 

LBJ has had everything handed to him his entire life. Yes, he's an amazing talent and yes he's a monster in the weight room. I don't want to minimalize the work he has put in to become the best pure talent in NBA history.

 

However, his mind is weak. That might be something that never gets turned around... hell, even Carmelo Anthony, in the midst of his worst stretch ever, was giving LBJ s*** about not wanting that shot.

By nailed it, I assume you mean "pretended that Orlando would be thrilled to take on a S*** F*** of money long-term".

If it meant keeping Dwight, then yes.

At some point we got to feel bad for LBJ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, not really, ha!

 

With all the media now relentlessly focusing on LBJ's percieved lack of clutchness, no one is gonna give a cra

p what LBJ does until he plays big in the finals moments of the Finals, you know that's gonna be messing with his pysche, lol.
