I know the bulls are built on defense but I feel like DAntoni could have done some amazing things with his system and Rose, Deng, Butler Gibson/Booz and Noah.




Thats considering that the bulls had those guys if he was coaching

Is the NBA's Atlantic Division the worst division of all time? http://deadsp.in/2qdKzOd

 

[nelson999]

Man hows everyone in the east got such a ****** record? they play each other, somebody has to win right? lol

 

[awwsome]

Should put seeds 9-12 in the West as the bottom 4 seeds in the East for the playoffs instead of rewarding such bad teams

 

[cozypapi]

Thanks. With Barnes out, Bullock has been playing more and looking better recently. I think he cracked double-figures against the Pacers. Mostly, he just launches 3s, but I've seen him hit a couple nice pull up jumpers off the dribble. With Redick out and Barnes not coming back for another couple weeks, he's going to continue to get minutes. I hope the improvement continues.

    he will continue to improve once his confidence goes up; yea you won't see Reggie drive in for lay ups often, he use to bank them off the back board when he played at UNC lol but his jumper is definitely good money

The Heat are shooting 51.3% from the floor this season. Raptors haven't shot 50% in a game yet, but lead the Atlantic.

:x

Nba should switch it to a north/south conference, every city below va all the way to la should be considered the south & vice versa

 

[iluvjordanxi]

It would be a waste of a playoff spot to put any team besides Heat and Pacers in the Eastern playoffs.

It's cool to talk about how bad the East is but this is what happens in every sport. Each conference/division goes through different waves and changes. Some are going to be really good...some are going to be really bad. It is what it is.

But the raps are leading the Atlantic

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He was a cheap-shot and David Stern screw job away from a championship, however...

Don't think anyone would question that, he had a few or three seasons of nice results. Like I said, his schemes might not be the greatest for consistent sustained winning seasons, especially in the playoffs

Didn't realize Rubio has been that bad, those fancy passes really hid his huge weaknesses all this time

 

[memphisboi55]

when he retires you will miss him

haven't even missed him this season. I'm ready for the retirement

Kobe still my dude

 

[kb8 3qwick]

The East has clearly been the Leastern Conference for about the past 15 years.

I actually thought that they would be better this year since it's been so long since they matched up team for team with the west, but somehow they're outdoing themselves this year

Rondo

Also...Gordon Hayward is a pretty popular name around here for somebody shooting 40% from the floor and 29% from deep

 

[senorroboto2k5]

You know what a real problem is in today's NBA? The ******g commentators. It baffles me how bad some of these guys are, especially for teams with money like the Lakers. Some of you get on Reggie Miller's case but he's without a doubt better than most of the color guys on local broadcasts.

The NBA makes games available nationally and have for years. They need to step this up. I'm not going to keep paying for League Pass every year to hear these guys. Offering home/away is a step in the right direction, but it's still bad if they offer the choice and 70% of the time you still want NEITHER.
