Re: Around the NBA 11.0
As for the hawks, I swear some of you overreact every damn year towards how teams play during the reg season and get shocked when teams like the spurs or celtics, who limped their way into the playoffs, completely turn the corner and dominate.
Happens every damn year, and some of you fall for this crap every time.
Hawks are not contenders until proven otherwise.
Bulls had a good bench, coach, number 1 defense, MVP, blah blah blah, only to lose in 5 games in the ECF.
So save me the bs. Playoffs are another beast.

They looked good at the beginning, then suddenly Butler can't save them, injuries again, and lack luster play as well as their coach running up the minutes on players and being stubborn
They were always know as the under dogs and had that reputation and embraced it. Now they have a target on their back and their mentality seems different. They were always the hardest working team in the NBA and that translated into wins only to flame out in the post season.
Going into this season my concern for the Bulls were if the offense could keep up with the others, especially the Cavs. The Cavs have shooters and Lebron obviously. This was suppose to be the Bulls year but if they don't get it together, they gonna be bounced quick
They also were known as the best rebounding team and got owned on the glass, and this isn't the first time. The things that made them successful over the years aren't there right now in the last week or so. Noah is also having knee issues and aging. Two aging guys in the middle playing defense. Pau can help them offensively but he kills them defensively.
We play the Bulls next Sunday on national TV. They probably figure it out by then and we get blown out smh

Tell that to GB. An Atlanta fan made a post saying atlanta is made for the playoffs and got so defensive when people said otherwise
But I agree they need to prove it. However the east is so dysfunctional I wouldn't be surprised if they got out the East
can't see them winning a title tho

I'm glad Al Jefferson is back, but I wish he could've waited after we played them on wednesday. Hopefully Whiteside can put a stop to him dominating us.

Hassan Whiteside will easily erupt for the best game of his young career, finishing the night with 34 points, 21 rebounds, 11 blocks, and 5 steals in 35 minutes. Rest assured...we'll be fine. Mark my words.

It's true too, his stats looks pretty good. But MY GOD his defense is atrocious. Bulls fans are all like "but what happen to our defense" lol. Hello, it's gasol. The man is so slow, pnr him to death. Glad he isn't here.

TBH, I'm just grateful that those ATL fans aren't acting like Bulls fans did in 2010.

I think it's pretty clear that the champ this year is coming from whoever survives the bloodbath out West.

Re: Around the NBA 11.0
What losing does to teams .. first it was David Blatt getting fired/Players not liking him after their losing streak without LeBron. Now it looks like the Bulls Fans are talking about Fred Hoiberg replacing Thibs. Going to be a weird year.

The east has been meh for years
The two times we cake walked into the finals we got beat, but when there were challenges we won, like game 7s, elimination games, etc
But whoever is coming out the east won't be tested and will be blown out like we were last year by whoever is in the west lol
At this rate the Cavs will come out the east just cause Lebron can beat a lot of teams by himself

Re: Around the NBA 11.0
I didn't want to live to see the league where 2 top teams are GWS and ATL lol but here we are... hope they fade very quickly because I don't have time or will power to watch their games no matter how great/beautiful/wonderful they are.

3rd best winnng%(73.3%) + most wins(11w) = best true winning % OP
