What was the point again? Contested 19 foot jumper with no time left vs. uncontested 30 foot jumper with 10 seconds left.

You pointed out the obvious that I was not going to say to our Heat fan here, Herr NSX.


But, totally agree. Different scenarios and whereas LeBron had a choice, Rose...didn't have a choice. Time versus no time.

So, he held the ball for too long.



That...or because he warrants the ball going through him, a better option was passed up and so, he ended up with the ball way back where he was.

Melo deal off.

http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/n...ory?id=6038636

NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has told the team to end discussions on the Carmelo Anthony deal.


In a news conference before Wednesday night's game against Utah, Prokhorov said he decided on Tuesday to stop pursuit of the Nuggets All-Star forward, unhappy with how things played out in public.

The new owner says the deal took too long and became too expensive.

Prokhorov also says he has called off a scheduled meeting with Anthony.

Previously, New Jersey had offered to ship six players and at least two first-round draft picks to Denver in a deal that would have sent Anthony to the Nets along with former Pistons teammates Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton.

I have to see the reply again to give better opinion. From what I saw, he was open enough to knock that shot down. I'm not saying that it was a easy shot, but he should made that shot. Maybe I expecting lot from him... since Yummy talks about how good he is. lol.

we all know that Bulls has no chance of winning a championship this year.

I have lot of respect for Rose for what he has done past year or two. He is definitely going to be a superstar within few years. He is rising star, but I can't say that he is already one yet.

3-4 sec is plenty of time to find the spot that he wanted to take. Jordan done it plenty of times in his career, but than again... we are compare it to basketball god vs. rising star (bad example?).

I think Thibs is terrific...

He's their best coach in a long time. Just do a comparo on their overall defense and the opponents shooting percentage...

I also think Thibs is a great coach. He is never sitting down during a game and always talking to the players.

The game against the Bobcats made me upset as well but with two star players out, games are going to harder. The Bobcats second chance points also killed us, we needed some rebounds bad.

I agree. Thibs is definitely a championship caliber coach. As cliche as it is, defense does win championships... given a little time Thibs will be able to really mold them into a defensive team. Noah is a great start. D-Rose has stepped it up more and more. Who knows, he might even be able to influence Boozer some.

^^Agree. Celtic defense was what beat the Lakers in 08. Guess what coach headed that up? Thibodeuo....thibodeux.....err, Thibs....

IMO, the Bulls need a better perimeter player aside from Rose. What they have is pretty damn good though....good depth.

I'm not sure if I believe these reports about the deal being off I think they are still negotiating but issued this statement saying the deal is off so that buys time from the media constantly reporting on it. I wouldn't at all be surprised if the deal ends up happening somewhere down the line.

Yup....its the used car lot strategy. Always walk away at least once.

Denver's the desperate one here IMO. They don't want a repeat of what happened to Cleveland, their prized star walking away with nothing in return.

I already told you guys...Carmelo is going to Miami. The Heat is going to trade away all of their 1st rounders for the next few years and their entire worthless bench.



They'll only have 4 players on the court and use 3 basketballs...It'll be the Big Three and a Half.

How? With Phil Jackson coaching the Bulls, do you really think they would be better then 29-14? Exactly what has Tibs NOT done this year, or what would Jackson bring to the table? They don't need another coach to win the title, they need to stay healthy, and get another key player or legit SG.

I'd also like to add that since Tibs became the Coach of the Bulls.....

Opponents field goal percentage: #1
Opponents points: #3 in the NBA
Points Differential: #5 in the NBA
Rebounds: #3 in the NBA (WITH key injuries)

Of course I'm a Phil Jackson guy, but what exactly would Jackson bring to the table that will make them a championship contending team? Coaching is there... what we need is to really stay together and learn to play together. Getting another key player as well would really help us contend.

Yesterday's slugfest win against the Mavs is what Thibodeau brings to Chicago in a nutshell...

What a gritty effort by the undermanned Bulls.

But, let's be clear: Rose is NOT a superstar (he's 2nd-rate) and he's not an MVP candidate.


Just to be clear.
