One of the dumbest plays you will ever see.

Good stuff from Horford, classy dude.

A 2nd round pick plus a filler, but why would you want to?

Look at what JR Smith does for the Cavs

If we had Swaggy or JR this is what would happen:

- Rose or Butler walk the ball up.
- We run through some Noah screens that everyone ignores Noah on and double Rose or Butler
- Rose or Butler pass it to JR or Swaggy with 3 seconds left
- They heave up a contested 3
- Their 3P %s drop off a cliff with the Bulls
- This board starts up multiple threads about how bad they are and we need better shooters

We've had Kyle Korver, Marco Belinelli, and now Mike Dunleavy all on this team and they shot their career worst while with Chicago. Swaggy & JR wouldn't be any different.

I like Horford's use of the theme brotherhood.

ATL getting beat like this in way makes me feel better about this bulls team for the fact that they won a couple and could've won at least one more. It means nothing of course, but it helps cope with the loss to the cavs just a little bit.

So blame the refs for a botched ejection, not Dellavedova.

Taj didn't deserve an ejection for that, and what Dellavedova did in that example wasn't reckless or dirty at all.

I blame the league for being fixed.... You can't tell me that delay is that uncoordinated... What happens when he rolls out steps curry's ankle for the Cavs to win it all. I mean the Hawks aren't winning but ejecting horrors too.. How many times does Lebron's hit the backboard attempting a shot block in this game when really that isnangoaltend...

Says he felt Delly definitely isn't a dirty player and feels he's just a hard player. But he feels Delly is dangerously starting to cross that line that disrespects the somewhat hidden code of the brotherhood that's the NBA. Just certain things you should know is somewhat off limits.

But his on the court antics just too much at times. Too much Diva in him.

He's a great basketball player. No doubt about that. He's OK off the court as far as we know.

You're right - the antics are just so terrible that they negate everything else. You just can't like this guy.

What antics are so terrible? He's over-dramatic, yes. But he's not out there constantly trash talking or flagrant fouling. He's overly dramatic and gets gift calls from the refs. I'd says Joakim's on court antics are a lot worse than LeBron's.

Those guys cheated. Before we knew that, they were fine.

No they weren't. They were all unlikable way before we found out they had been using PEDs. Especially A-Rod

I know he is without Irving & Love, but those are some pretty bad numbers. Hopefully the decline of Lebron sets in next season to give us more of a chance.

Right, but when the guys around him keep playing like this, they will be very hard to beat, especially if Love and Irving will be playing in next year's postseason. The Bulls in their current state will probably still be too inconsistent to actually make a deep playoff run, regardless of LeAsshole's decline.

The drama queen antics and the overly arrogant interviews. Joe is authentic. Lebron is not. He's acting.

Jo is an authentic douchbag at times. And I'm a fan. And I never viewed his interview as arrogant. He's definitely a drama queen though. But he's an all-time great.

No chance. He shouldn't have even been ejected.

Dunleavy only shot the ball better from deep twice in his 14 NBA seasons compared to this season. Anyways, like Smith, Young is a guy that can shoot the 3 without it having it to be within the flow of the offense. The other three aren't like that.

Gonna be a good series, Like I posted earlier in this thread, GS definitely is paying attention to this. They won't be having any of that suspect stuff cause they'd be more than willing to match with dudes like Bogut and Speights.

He may decline a little more (won't fall off the cliff), but the Cavs are going to get even stronger in the off-season. They will get back Verajao as a 4th big, they could get a guy like Jamal Crawford with the MMLE and they have their own pick plus the potential for another ring chaser or two.

Cavs will be unbeatable next season. The window has closed.
