Credit David Stern. He's the reason they were able to acquire the best PG the game has seen since Magic.

 

When did they acquire Jason Kidd?

Kidd was a better rebounder/defender. But Paul is just flawless. What's his weakness? I can't think of one.

Terrible bowler, poor taste in food

Boozer is playing better basketball right now than I've ever seen him play. I am skeptical it will continue but hopefully it does.

 

In other news, the Suns just fired Alvin Gentry. Because I am sure it is Gentry's fault that is roster is filled with garbage basketball players, that Sarver being a cheap piece of s*** owner resulted in them selling a bunch of draft choices and letting go of every good player they had. Robert Sarver is arguably the worst owner in sports.

 

Not even close.

Really what owners are clearly worse than Sarver? He traded the #7 pick in 2004 to the Bulls (Luol Deng) for cash because he didn't want to pay the luxury tax. He came into a situation where he had a team set up to win be a perennial championship contender and ran it into the ground because he was so cheap. His first year there they had Nash, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Stoudemire plus a bunch of good 3 pt shooters so basically a perfect fit for D'Antoni's style of play. They made the Western Conference finals but int he offseason Sarver pissed off Joe Johnson during contract negotiations because he was so cheap so they traded Johnson. They then trade their 2006 first round pick (Rajon Rondo) for a 2007 first round pick that they later sold (Rudy Fernandez). They also traded Kurt Thomas along with their 2008 and 2010 first round picks for a second round pick in order to save money. Robert Sarver being cheap single handedly cost the Suns a shot at multiple championships when his team was set up to be a perennial title contender. How many owners can you say that about?

He is an atrocious owner but he never had a team until now that was a legitimate championship contender. Sarver had a legitimate title contender when he became the owner of the Suns and ran it into the ground by being cheap.

There's that Miami baseball ownership group that has managed to crucify baseball in two different cities.

And that would be his own damned fault.

Sterling simply ran it into the ground from the start. Plus, he is racist.

Hopefully Deng just has a strained quad.

Ugh, i hate traveling in the NBA. It's not even close anymore. Just change the rule to three steps.

Unfortunately that would just eliminate dribbling as then theyd give them 3+ steps

Call a time out cant even run play to get ball in bounds.

 

Anger level rising.

A shame, this should have been a win. Losing Deng hurt.

Garnett got away with murder a few times in this game.

 

Looks like we're going to lose, but man this sucks to lose. We're better than them. Losing Lu certainly hurts, he'll probably be gone for a week or two at least with hamstring injury.

Yeah once Deng went down it was going to be rough. Just hate to have such a close game decided by stupid plays at the end.

 

Guess its possible that they somehow pull it out.

lol

 

Bulls try and lose, but somehow ball finds way to open man.

Edited by Soxbadger

The Celtics got jobbed really bad on that jump ball call. Not even close to a held ball and Pierce got fouled a number of times there.

Ill take it. f*** Boston.

I really prefer to go for the win when you are on the road and Deng is hurt, but once the play broke down you had to take anything.

Bulls need to have Noah go at Sullinger in the paint

 

Thank you

Hinrich made a shot....lol

Rondo fouls out.

 

Very physical game.
