I don't normally watch the nets unless they're being blown-out or something but Dwill lost mad weight.

Yeah Williams does look in the best shape of his career.

Without Aldridge (he rolled his ankle), the Blazers are dead in the water.

Not sure who this guy is or how credible he is, but...

Just had a great chat with @hoopscritic talking NBA. Brian says the Bulls don't believe they are a championship team and will keep Rose out.

This was obvious to me from the moves they made in the offseason.

I don't think they ever intended Rose to play this season

Ric Buchar ripped ownership at the beginning of the season for bamboozling fans into renewing season tickets when they had every intention of sitting Rose for the year. I mean I've never seen a player who has been having full contact practice for so long and not play a game.

matter of fact i wouldn't be shocked if bulls management is upset because they assumed they'd get a lottery pick this season

Completely agree. I don't think they expected Thibs to coach this team into the playoffs.

Houston vs. Indiana is also a very interesting matchup.

Bulls game won't even be competitive. Only Nate can score for them against the Heat.

I hope the Rockets find a way to beat the Pacers.

Well I guess the Heat felt just like you before the game start.

dont get cocky....in a series, the Heat sweep the Bulls by an average of 20+ points per contest. Yall couldn't even beat the pathetic Sixers last year without Rose.

That's what I thought they were doing this offseason. Their midseason run really surprised me.

Wilbon is such a homer. He thinks the Bulls are the one team that would give the Heat a challenge in the east. Just disregard how well the Knicks have played them during the regular season. Which includes blowouts and a game in which we let slip away.

:lol:

He even counted out the Pacers because they supposedly back down when they play Miami.

Butch718 · Post #1314 » by **Butch718** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 3:58 am

Also SMFH at Lebron complaining and specifically calling out Hinrich and Gibson for grabbing him and fouling him hard during the post game interviews. And to think, he was starting to grow on me this season. Then he just straight up reverts to acting like a little b*tch again. He needs to man up. Not every team is going to let you barrel through them with your 6'8, 250 lb. frame. He's just pissed off because he wasn't facing lottery team players that were in awe of him tonight.

now you know why I detest his flabby face....

I remember a Bulls/Celts game a couple months back, he said to Simmons, "Bill, considering one of these two teams are the most likely to be in the Conference Finals with the Heat...". No mention of the 2nd place Knicks. Just total disregard for us. Didn't even consider us a threat, regardless if the Bulls have no offense, no Rose, and were like 6th/7th in the standings at the time and the C's were 8th and Rondo was out.

I also remember an article he wrote last offseason, and he was talking about the Knicks...and he said something like, "The New York Knicks, who were last seen in April, getting beat like dogs to the Celtics.."...I'll never forget that. This guy is a Chicago homer and ESPN allows his bulldog face havin ass to write articles for them, trashing us in the process.

Ugh Portland and Houston trolling hard tonight :evil:

Butch718 · Post #1318 » by **Butch718** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 4:31 am

I don't have a problem with Wilbon or even someone like Simmons having a rooting interest. It's just kind of sad when you see these guys let their negative bias towards a team and their fan base(Knicks and their fans in this case) get in the way of objective analysis. But hey, this is ESPN we're talking about. Professionalism rarely exists over there.

Humphries with the ugliest fast break I've ever seen. He was dribbling and fell on his face.

Nets are not going away and looking at their April schedule compared to the Knicks this division is probably coming down to the final days.
