 i have said before in this thread... i think rose will have a good first game then become above average until december.

meh, i hope people arent expecting much after missing over a year.

it will take him awhile to acclimate to the game.
 
Just turned it to ESPN First Take and now Dwight is saying you do not need rings to consider yourself a winner? :lol:

While he is partially true, this guy needs to really just shut up. :smh:

Man, I saw this yesterday on SportsCenter. Clown :smh::smh::smh:

I feel the same way, but for once I understand what he is saying. You always see guys like MJ,Kobe,John Elway Etc. who are all about winning chips. They in return are known as D@#KS loose thier close friends and family chasing this dream. Lebron fell victim to that pressure, left Cle and promised 7-8 rings before he won one. Then after he won his last ring he was asked what he thought about his doubters and pretty much said the same thing Dwight said. I think Lebron/Dwight will live a happier life than Kobe/MJ because they aren't ruining there personal life chasing rings. So I feel Dwight gave a honest answer, he knows what is important in life......... If he would have said the most important thing in his life is to get a Ring and a banner he would be lying.

I agree... While I expect him to be decent, I don't expect him to hit his stride until December-ish. The speed of the game can not be replicated.

But I am glad that he has his confidence back and I'm looking forward to seeing him work at getting back to that dominant level again :pimp:
 
rose will be better than he was before....

you really dont believe that

I think he will never be the same.

you see how he was mentally coming back?

dude was scared to come back

he is not strong enough mentally to come back from that kind of injury

he is going to be playing in fear from now on.

just my two cents
 
I except drose to get going right off the bat
happy.gif
me too honestly...

i was never big on the d rose slander...

the east is gonna be fun to watch next year...NYK will be the team to take the fall as brooklyn/chi takes up the top 3 spots..
 
so MWP plan is to play in China since they got a short season (about 30-40 gms) come back to the states and sign before the playoffs?

Hear the same thing every year.  The East is improved.  The East will be fun to watch. The East is catching up to the West.  Blah blah blah. 

Like every year for the better part of 2 decades, I will have to see it before I believe it.

best way to settle this is with some kind of wager :nerd:

i can feel you on that...it does happen every year..lol..

the heat are 2x defending champs..nuff said..

outside of them, i think the nets, knicks, pacers bulls are all expected to win 50+ games..

what makes it fun for me, is the bottom teams are actually looking competitive...cleveland and washington coming on strong (gimme the wiz), even charlotte was sneaky and added some solid pieces...

all on paper of course..lol..cleveland over under is still at 30 wins...lol..
 
More importantly...


@SportsCenter: After missing entire 2012-13 season, @drose says he is now 100 percent and will start first game next season for the Bulls.





please stop with these corny *** voiceover videos
 
I reserve judgment on D.Rose until I see his first game back. Than we can begin talking about the impact he'll have going forward..
 
^@animal thug anybody can wait and see bro :lol:

we're talking about making bold predictions

On paper, yes, the East should be improved.  But this wouldnt be the first time that on paper, the East will be improved.  So yeah, I will have to see it to  believe it.

And btw, the Heat winning two consecutive titles is a completely irrelevant idea when talking about the strength of the conference in general.  Yeah the Heat have been amazing for the past two seasons.  But that doesnt make the conference strong.
