They were semi decent because they had 5th best defense last year. Their offense sucked but they were elite on one side, and that gets you 40 wins.

It looks like the defense was a mirage. This season they are 21st in defense. Their offense still sucks (26th just like last season).

Jeff Van Gundy just asks Breen, "You know what the best thing about this game is? Not one review"

Compare that to the Raptors game

Reply is over used. One thing I noticed is that most times the refs actually get the call right. The problem with refs is usually the subjective stuff that they can't replay(fouls, charges, etc).

They should restrict replays until 4th or last 5 min of the game.

Oh my god that Cuban-Parsons shot is going to be a go to gif for years.

why is nbatv canada not showing the the memphis-lal game when they're scheduled to

I had a feeling Courtney Lee would be good for the Grizz when they got him. Lee fits them perfectly. I still remember when the Grizzlies started Allen & Prince together, it was such an offensive nightmare.

They were the 2nd worst offensive team in the league at one point and the spacing was atrocious. When the Grizz upset the Spurs in 2011, they had outside shooting. In 2013, the Spurs exploited the lack of spacing and swept them. Lee is your prototypical 3&D player so he gives them some much needed shooting.

I still don't trust their offense though. Joerger has done a good job improving the offense but they still lack 3PT shooting and a true go to guy.

I told everyone Lebron would be fine (and I hate Lebron). Lebron is not the problem with that Cleveland team. Irving and Love are losers. Blatt is unproven.

They have no bench, no experience and no defenders. They'll figure it out but Lebron will have to carry them and in the process he'll have to put a lot of toll on his body.

Goran has been so disappointing this season. My first 3 fantasy draft picks were Durant/Drummond/Dragic. It's amazing that my team has been doing semi-decently.

Yeah, I know. I'm just talking generally to all the people who were saying "Lebron is done". Bulls are very fragile. It's still too early to say anything about the top teams imo but history tells us the Bulls are injury prone, unreliable and playoff chokers. Rose looks like a shell of what he used to be.

Yup. I was one of the delusional fans who thought he'd be alright but he looks done. He's still fast but he looks a step slower and plays scared.

MVP Rose would just put his head down, push the ball and take it to the rim. Now, he tries to avoid going to the rim whenever he can and he can't play a game without having some sort of injury.

I'm seeing a lot of people getting carried away with this small sample size, saying we'll win 60+ games this year.

Stop being dellusional, with a .867 winning percentage we'll win 70 games this season.

Lmao. Yep. Thibs makes them play every game like its game 7 of the finals. Even the Bulls management called him out about it.

Another thing about Thibs is, he refuses to make adjustments in the playoffs. He'll continue sticking to the same game plan which is why Randy Wittman outcoached him.

Their offense is also very suspect. It looks good in the regular season but in the playoffs, they'll have a lot of problems. In 2011 with MVP Rose, they had a top 5 offense if I'm not mistaken and a better, healthy team and they still lost to Lebron (with homecourt advantage).

Guys do u consider Melo a superstar? I think he's not even close... Can't even lead his team to 8th in a terrible conference.
