It also helps that the bulls seem to have the wizards and raptors number. The wizards are just good bum slayers to me feasting on lower teams.

how are you clearly superior and how do you have our number when we beat you guys last year? You have our number because of one game this year?

Yeah, you beat us when we had no Gasol, Mirotic, Rose, MIP/MVP/DPOTY candidate Jimmy Butler, and no healthy Noah.

As for you saying the Bulls are playing playoff basketball...If we were playing playoff basketball and working hard every game we wouldn't have just lost to the Jazz by 20 at home.

And overtime against celtics.

Jesus, the guy was supposed to be able to come back in the game the same night at first. Now he still can't run a week later? He's falling apart. But well, 34 year olds can take a lot longer to heal than younger guys.

We need more wing depth, badly.

Smoked? Do you even remember that series?

The only game that wasn't decided in the 4th quarter, or OT in that series, was game 1 - the game Chicago won. The other 4 games were decided in the 4th quarter or OT. Asik also got injured in game 3. Miami got to the free throw line when they needed to - Asik could of helped prevent that. They were outplayed in the closing moments, but definitely not smoked. A few calls the Bulls way, or a few bounces our way, and that whole series could of been different.

Ready for this game tonight. Rose has clearly been pacing himself, but John Wall is going to bring out an aggressive Rose. I'm going to the Bucks game tomorrow night though, so hopefully he's got enough left to play tomorrow night.

Hmm....Dun Dun + Snell for Afflalo or Chandler

We really need help in that department soon.

Not to derail but surely we can take advantage of some of these teams having a fire sale without giving up a rotation player?

Rerisen wrote:Gortat knows this isn't your grandpa's Bulls:

Wizards’ Marcin Gortat pointed to Washington’s struggles defending the pick-and-roll in the last matchup as something that needs to improve in Friday’s meeting. Gasol, new to the Bulls this year, is a bigger challenge for the Wizards than Carlos Boozer was last season, Gortat said. Gasol is averaging 18.1 points and 11.1 rebounds per game this season.

“With all respect for Carlos Boozer, he’s a much, much better player than Carlos Boozer,” Gortat said of Gasol. “… Carlos Boozer was a different story guarding Nene, let’s be honest. Pau Gasol is a much better defender, a much, much better defender.”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wiz ... t-chicago/

That's right, Marcin, you only won last year's playoff series when Boozer was on the floor. When he was off, we outscored you. And now the albatross is not only gone, but we have a much better improvement in his place.

I almost feel bad for Boozer with comments like these. Gortat's completely right though, and we definitely matchup better with a Nene/Gortat front court now with our extra size and rim protection.

I don't know that either of them would fair too well being stretched out on defence, so having Niko come in and space the floor might be especially effective against a team like Washington.

We have a tonne of front court versatility this year.

Just a terrible time to not have McDermott back. Mike will be fine, but yeah, the older guys take longer to heal up.

Someone will fall in our lap. We know the Bulls won't give up much to get the depth at the wing we need.

Looking back though miami wasnt so hot themselves who truly got destroyed in the finals...that was the 2nd worst miami team during that era, acually probably the worst one all things considered.

Rose and Wall might set a record tonight for bricks.

Have to DVR the game, going baby shopping with the wife. Need a stroller and a baby seat. Note to all married men, do not have any kids during the NBA season. Just wait for baseball season!
