Valiant efforts not to tank???? Son...tank talk was dead a loooong time ago here in the Chi.

That's what I meant.

 

[kevlar shrimp]

Good win for Cleveland

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

These East teams can't get better because they make the playoffs with ****** records and get left out of the lottery

  Bennett continues to get no minutes in lieu of Hawes...  Sounds like a smart strategy for the future.

Not possible. The East sucks, they have no good teams.

The East has good teams. The Bulls aren't one of them, despite their valiant efforts to not tank.


edit: BTW, announcement: I was wrong about Monta, everyone. I was wrong. Good player.

The Bulls have the #2 defense in the league, they're 19-8 in the new year, and clearly they can compete with West playoff teams.. yes they are a good team.

So Exum might pull a Kobe and force himself to the Lakers on draft night:

They have no offensive talent whatsoever.  They don't have a hope or prayer of reaching the conference finals.  No, they are not a good team.  They are half of one.

3 straight losses

Kyrie :31pts, 9ast 5rebs

They're also the #30 offense.

 

[ill steelo]

was watching an OKC broadcast & they didn't even acknowledge this. They were talking about some other nonsense

 

[awwsome]

Gerald Green dunking is a thing of beauty

AD with 6/9/1 in 13 minutes, we got robbed of a great performance thanks to his shoulder

[awwsome]

I try my best to avoid seeing Josh Smith shooting the basketball, can't be good for your eyes

 

[sea manup]

if manu was wearing adidas there would be a riot in this thread 

 

[anomolie]

If Gerald Green had his head on straight he would've been like Vince Carter type player.

 

[nelson999]

0-3 since Westbrook returned and KD aint dropping 40 every night now, you ruined OKC!

Obviously the Bulls aren't contenders, but they have an elite defense and one of the best coaches in the league, and most importantly they play harder than probably any other team in the league. They aren't gonna win this year but they definitely deserve recognition as a tough team that plays hard. Opposing teams always give them a lot of credit and don't take them lightly

Not a Bulls fan but I respect that team a lot. A lot of other teams would be Sixers/Bucks status if they went through what Chicago did

These East teams can't get better because they make the playoffs with ****** records and get left out of the lottery

Or they do what Cleveland is doing, and trade for expiring vets so they can get a few moral victories at the end of the season, instead of shooting for better draft position and playing their young guys

He said Kendrick Perkins runs like he's wearing Cowboy Boots
