Just do it online on one of the more reputable well known sites.

Clear As a bell you can hear a heckler "how much longer you gonna be the coach of this team?"

Remember that snowstorm game against the bucks in which about 150 people showed up? I wanted to walk-up and buy good seats and justs harass one player the whole game. "ilyasova you ain't got ****".

Memphis just beat Dallas..

Milwaukee has a 16 point lead as well. Would be a perfect night but it looks like the sixers are gonna lose to the Magic.

Same as jeff, I've been biding my time, I REALLY want them to miss the playoffs after all the ridiculous talk of them possibly making the conference finals...

And the talk is still going on, despite being only half a game up and tied if they lose to the Bulls on Sunday, heck I've heard people say they are the 3rd best team in the East.

Bulls are showing that defense wins. Go down 21 and come all the way back.

Rose misses clutch free throws again, Third time this year he chokes at the free throw line at the end of the game.

Did the same thing in college and in last year's playoffs. He just doesn't come through at the line in crunch time, but don't tell Bulls fans that or they might kill you :lol:

Not just the missed FTs, but he couldn't do ANYTHING against Shumpert. And he turned it over late too which led to the game-winning 3 by Melo.

He's a flawed player, which is why the media frenzy about him being the MVP and clearly being the best PG in the NBA is irritating...if he had a reliable jumper like Deron and Paul, the Bulls would have won. If he could hit FTs down the stretch of games like Deron and Paul, the Bulls would have won. If he could consistently find teammates for easy buckets like Deron and Paul, the Bulls would have won.

How many times did he get stripped by Shumpert? Shumpert is a great man defender, but you'd think after the 2nd or 3rd time you get stripped, you stop trying to do the same exact thing...

And it wasn't just Rose, Deng missed 2 FTs also after a horrible foul by Chandler. And Noah went 1-2 to open up OT. Noah is a 76% FT shooter, Deng's at 79%, Rose is at 82%. These are good FT shooters that went 1-6 from the line.

The Bulls choked big time, and it's why I find it pretty amusing that people think they can actually beat the Heat, or that them and the Heat are mentioned in the same sentence as the contenders in the East. There's the Heat, then a gap, then the Bulls, then everyone else. The Bulls will get owned by the Heat if they meet in the playoffs.

And the Bulls were up 91-81 late in the 4th, and then got outscored 10-0 to end the game.

Soooo disappointing...

But... but.. Deron williams isn't on Rose's level because he's not closer and Rose is.

What a choker.

His first game back, and yall are stomping the yard on him. Guess you can kick a man when he's down.

Except missing FTs might be the only thing that can't really be attributed to rust...FT shooting should be pretty constant.

And Rose has a history of choking on late game FTs. He blew a game against Miami earlier this year because of his FTs.

It kind of annoys me that Rose is held up on this pedestal around the league, and LeBron is hated on so much, when LeBron is a much better clutch player than Rose. And it annoys me that Paul and especially Deron get ignored when talking about the best PG in the game, as if Rose has that locked up. You rarely, if ever, see Deron or Paul choke like that, let alone choke like that consistently.

I don't think Rose is put on a pedestal, Lebron is over looked, or CP3 and #8 are over looked. Reality is one is MVP, one tends to go into passing mode in the 4th, another is still the best PG in the league IMO, and the other never asked to be traded to the Nets. There all good players, but each of them are different to say the least. Rose bricked another set of free-throws, he'll get many more to redeem himself later down the line, especially when playoff time comes around.

Bottom line is Rose is pretty overrated.

He's a great player, a lock top 10 guy, but I thought the MVP award was pretty crazy last year and there's people that call him the best player in the game.

Crazy.

I think he deserved MVP last year, even though Lebron should win it every year lol. But overrated might be the wrong word if he is indeed a Top 10 player. Maybe over hyped, but he can ball, and like all great players, chucking sometimes kills his team. Best player in the League? Hell No lol. And if we want to talk about Overr8ed players, we can start a thread about that 8-)
