no, im saying they need to just play basketball and not try to murder the other team. a win is a win. they settled for jump shots. we are not Orlando that lives and dies by the three. just need to play our own game. fast breaks and defense. a couple set plays wouldn't hurt either.
BTW your inferior bulls will be in our home court soon.

There's more of a chance that the Lakers will fall to Dallas in the semis (the Lakers would be the lower seed in that series). Not saying it would happen, its just more possible.

wade was having a horrible shooting night. not as bad a bosh during the bulls game but it was bad. they agreed which player was having a better game that game would take the last shot.

Bulls just dominated the Wizards. Both Noah and Deng had a great night. Did anyone catch the final shot by Scalabrine?
Oh, and Rasual Butler might sign with the Bulls.

Although, the VERY non-MVP and second-rate Rose had a sick pass between the legs to Noah for a dunk...

Whoomp Rose is the MVP. It's a zombie horse. :shakehead I think whoever said Rose wasn't that good got the point in December. Move on. :roadkill:
Where's Bibby and Troy Murphy going?

There are two players in the professional world right now who do not get enough press because they aren't loud-mouths who have a television special on where they are going to take their services: Jonathan Toews and Mr. Rose.
So, I've taken up the job to spam everyone just how great they are. Call me their unofficial press agent. It's a tough job...but, someone's gotta do it.

lol...I'm the one that had disagreed that Rose was great and got jumped by the CHI contingent here. Of course, I was working off of last years information and 'Rose'-colored glasses of early season games. There are tons of players that do well in the beginning of the season or have a good stretch and don't carry it through..
That being said, Rose is awesome. He's made it to the top of my list of my favorite point guards, guards who are less than 6'3, whatever class you want to make. So based on the season thus far, he's one of the greats, MVP. Better hope that jumper he's got now keeps up during the postseason though.
To contrast that, Bosh hasn't lived up to what I believed he was when he was in TOR. I'm guess I should do a better job of creating expectations, lol.

But damn, its been a long time (10 years) since those Kings/Lakers series. He's as veteran as vets get. I thought he was a little slow back then and much slower now, but what'll help on the Heat is having pretty good D from Wade/Bron on the wings and Bosh on P&Rs to help out. Guarding quick point guards is a team effort.
I think he's a good fit with the Heat.

Murphy and Bibby would've been great. Damn Celtics, messing everything up.

I think Atlanta got rid of him for other reasons. It just wasn't working out with him there. His experience should help.

Atlanta (my team) got rid of Bibby simply to "upgrade" to Heinrich... because we can't make a serious and legitiment move other than to offer max money to an unworthy player. As good as JJ is, he didn't deserve that money... I wanted to see it go elsewhere...
Bibby is a slight upgrade from Arroyo... he's going to demand more attention at the end of games because he can shoot the ball (although he's not having a great % year) which will relieve some pressure off of LeBron and Wade, and he's got veteran experience. But they don't benefit defensively from him at all. He still won't be able to guard the guys that he'll meet up with in the playoffs, so it's pretty much a wash move by Miami. But then again, it's not costing them anything.
I personally would have much rather seen Murphy go to Miami than Bibby. He compliments them far better being someone with some size who can rebound (which Miami DESPERATELY needs) and he can stretch the floor. Also, he's not as useless off the ball as Bibby is... LeBron and Wade have the ball 90%+ of the time and Murphy compliments that aspect, whereas when Bibby has the ball it will just be like he's taking it from LeWade's capable hands.
Anyway... will they be better than they were? Sure... will they win the title this year? Probably not...

Of course, while I imply that there are parallels, Shaq was (arguably) the most dominant player in the decade. That was one thing that those Lakers had over these Lakers. As good as Pau/Bynum/Lamar are, Shaq was unbelievable back then.
Hopefully they can move up without burning themselves out.

A bit of everything...Bulls were in absolute control of the game going into the half...But, Atlanta made some nice adjustments. And Rose did have an off-game...

I expect them to bounce back...the Bulls are too well-coached and Rose will definitely bounce back...
