^^good game, but I hate the word 'rivalry' being overused. Celtics-Lakers? Rivalry. Lakers-Spurs? Rivalry, albeit a bit more good natured than green vs. purple & gold. I'll even accept that the Kings or Blazers have a rivalry with the Lakers, but the Lakers have won most of those match ups in the playoffs and went on to win championships.

I completely understand that the Clips are good this year, but the rivalry crap is only because they play in the same city and arena. Yesterday was only a heated game.

LOL Orlando with the 67 points and another near-30-point loss. Scrubs.

Yeah their not playing great right now and I think Dwight is creating a distraction with all the trade talk much like Carmelo did last year.

If i were them, I'd trade Dwight for a couple of players, not just 1-for-1 or 1-for-2. There's no way they'll get equal value for him.

Completely agree with this.

I only consider it a true rivalry if 2 teams are having heated and competitive battles consistently like the lakers and kings in the early 2000's. Lakers and boston also have this tension.

Dwight isn't handling this situation right because if he really wanted to force a trade he could and the fact that he's letting the Orlando organization dictate everthing that points to one thing that he's coming back.

If he leaves he cheats himself out of 30+ million dollars that he can't get with any other team over his contract term and if he doesn't leave he pretty much spoiled the season for his team because guys don't want to fight for someone who's leaving anyway.

There are only a few contenders out there with a real shot at winning a championship with him the Lakers being one of them but the Nets won't, Knicks won't and maybe the Mavericks depending on who they give up.

Deng's absence was felt. Entertaining game and gotta give credit for the Bulls in never going away in the game.




Still, total Miami LeFail for not being able to beat Chicago by at least a million points. WTF. Still perplexed.

Rose is unbelievable. IMO, the fastest defense and arguably the best perimeter defense in the NBA was at his mercy in a way.

In the end, the W is what count though. Shouldn't have missed those FTs...

Rose sucks, hey? I know...as the game progressed, I could not fathom how a terrible player could be with the Bulls.

He makes Dickey Simpkins look like an All-Star.

But, in all seriousness, this LeHeat squad is basically like the Pistons that the Bulls had to get past back in the 90s.

If Chicago can get past the LeHeat, the Title is theirs.















Because, I know Chicago would not LeChoke away a Title like last season.

Oops, I did it again!

Aftermath, for sure. I was watching only because I wanted to see beheading and disembowelment of the Bulls by the LeHeat.

I was disappointed. Should've watched Saw instead.
