The reason we should be excited is it seems the NBA has no deemed Drose as a "Superstar we must protect". He's going to get the calls that other stars have been getting this year. He'll have way more free throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is so strong, it hardly ever looks like he gets fouled. The problem is he won't sell it. You hit LeBron, he throws his arms up and has a look on his face like he is giving birth. Rose just finishes the play. The most he will do is a glare at the officials after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing a top 3 PG in the league for a year and a half can't be a good thing for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing a top 3 PG in the league for a year and a half can't be a good thing for the league. I didn't say it was a bad thing. I thought he drove so fast and hard before refs just didn't know. Wade gets a lot of BS calls but he also has a move that makes it look like he gets contact. Rose didn't have that. Now they seem to be on top of the fact that he is getting crushed but he just ignores it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) Ugh. Bill Simmons picks the Bulls to win the title. His reasoning (in 15 seconds of a radio interview): Rose will be a top 3 player in the league as he was 2 seasons ago, and everyone is sleeping on them. Jinxed. Over before the season even starts. Sigh. Considering I just heard Simmons talk about the Pistons winning a playoff series in one of his podcasts, I wouldn't put too much stock in that either way.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Ladies and Gents, the NBA season has just about arrived. May 2014 continue to be as kind to us as every year since 2006 in this new golden age of analytics, advanced defenses, small ball, offensive spacing and 3pt shooting as at the end of the year we will welcome what many are saying is the greatest crop of draft prospects we've ever seen. Eastern conference regular season standings: 1: Heat 2: Bulls 3: Pacers (had the Pacers at 2 until Granger's latest set back) 4: Nets 5: Knicks 6: Wizards 7: Pistons 8: Cavs (would have them 5th with a healthy Bynum. But that never happens) First round: (1) Heat over (8) Cavs (2) Bulls over (7) Pistons (3) Pacers over (6) Wizards (4) Nets over (5) Knicks Conference semis: (4) Nets over (1) Heat (2) Bulls over (3) Pacers Conference finals: (4) Nets over (2) Bulls Western conference regular season standings: 1: Clippers 2: Thunder 3: Rockets 4: Spurs 5: Warriors 6: Grizzlies 7: Mavs 8: Timberwolves First round: (1) Clippers over (8) Timberwolves (2) Thunder over (7) Mavs (3) Rockets over (6) Grizzlies (5) Warriors over (4) Spurs Conference semis: (1) Clippers over (5) Warriors (3) Rockets over (2) Thunder Conference finals: (1) Clippers over (3) Rockets NBA finals: Clippers over Nets (series MVP - Paul) Individual awards: MVP: LeBron ROY: Victor Oladipo DPOY: Dwight 6th man: Harrison Barnes Most improved: Super tough here. But I'll go with 'Brow over Drummond/Favors Coach: Jason Kidd Edited October 29, 2013 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'll play. Eastern conference regular season standings: 1: Bulls 2: Heat (they're going to go into Spurs-mode more this season) 3: Nets (Spurs-mode x10) 4: Pacers 5: Knicks 6: Wizards 7: Bucks 8: Hawks (God, anything past 5 is a crapshoot. I love the deal for Gortat in Washington, the Cavs have NOTHING past Kyrie (seriously), the Bucks were an addition by subtraction team and are strong up-front, the Hawks have a nice starting 5, Philly and Charlotte are hot garbage, Toronto won't be in and is likely already trying to deal Rudy Gay, Orlando has some very nice pieces but are at least a year away. So that's my top 8) First round: (1) Bulls over (8) Hawks (2) Heat over (7) Bucks (3) Nets over (6) Wizards (4) Pacers over (5) Knicks Conference semis: (1) Nets over (4) Pacers (2) Heat over (3) Nets Conference finals: (1) Bulls over (2) Heat Western conference regular season standings: 1: Clippers 2: Thunder 3: Spurs (obviously they'll be in Spurs-mode!) 4: Warriors 5: Rockets 6: Grizzlies 7: T-Wolves 8: Blazers First round: (1) Clippers over (8) Blazers (2) Thunder over (7) T-Wolves (3) Spurs over (6) Grizzlies (5) Rockets over (4) Warriors (This will be known as the series that Dwight feasted on David Lee and ulimately ended Andrew Bogut's career - way to extend him GS!) Conference semis: (1) Clippers over (5) Rockets (this would be loads of fun) (2) Thunder over (1) Clippers (Durant in F-you mode) Conference finals: (2) Thunder over (3) Spurs NBA finals: Bulls over Thunder (series MVP - Poohdini) Individual awards: MVP: Kevin Durant ROY: Victor Oladipo (I agree with J4L here - seems like the clear favorite) DPOY: Larry Sanders 6th man: Jarrett Jack Most improved: Derrick Favors. Kid's going to average 14 boards Coach: Doc Rivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 So when the Heat overload on Derrick again in the playoffs, whose gonna create his own shot (or create for others) to make the Heat pay? Butler? Old broken down Hinrich? Who? Are we even gonna be healthy come playoffs? Noah, Deng, Hinrich, I'm looking at you... I'm as giddy as anyone here on the Rose but I'm still skeptical on the Bulls actually knocking off prime LeBron. The dude just owns us in the postseason and I still don't see who we added who's going to take some pressure off Rose in late game situations. Personally, I don't think the Heat threepeat but I just don't see us as the team that puts them away. I really do hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
