He's no team-first guy, IMO.

Cuban needs to pick one of them, asap. If not by next week, then during the off-season if they're still available. My poor team is showing its age & our players are far too accident prone, esp (again), Haywood.

It will suck to see Marion go as he's been a great clutch, but if we can pick up both of them, then we need to do it.

Anyone have word on what the Lakers are going to do? They need a point guard if they plan to go far into the playoffs.

Jeremy Rin versus Rose on Monday.

I am hopeful that Rose will put this Linsanity to rest.

CNNSI ranks the top 100 NBA players: http://nba-point-forward.si.com/2011...yers-nos-1-10/

Why isn't Jeremy Rin in at #4? And where's is LeMiniMe? Thought he'd be at #3 after LeBron...and LeWade...who is mistakenly ranked at #3 instead of #2.

LeBron having 2341234124123412412414234768914100 points...LeWade having 18 and LeMiniMe having the remaining 5.

I think he's made a mention in the past that he regrets doing it. The announcers tend to call him both anyway.

no i mean he goes off on Melo, so they bench him and play pre-melo basketball. maybe he might torch your injury prone team.

He might. The Bulls are walking wounded. But, I think the deep line-up should help...

They are a better team than last year. At least Lebron is scoring in the 4th now he has to get over the game winning shot dilemma. But either way,Unless he makes the shot, he's still making the wrong decision.

Interesting contrast between Kobe and Lebron in my mind, on just this last-second stuff.

Kobe is getting lauded for his decision to let Bynum take the last one. Lebron however, will always have it hanging over his head that he passes up that last shot (even though he's passing to Wade, who is just as capable of heroics).

Still, Kobe knows he's a decoy and has earned the rep that he's gonna take the last one. Lebron, as the narrative goes, hasn't gotten the reps at making last second shots. I don't believe that completely, but I think its in his head a bit.

Lebron has hit many game winners but he has choked so many times in important game winning or series turning point situations that it has overshadowed his accomplishments.

Especially in the beginning of the game, Rose was really going at Lin.
