2010-2011 NBA Season and Playoffs Thread

yea i forgot about udoh. i liked udoh as a shot blocker-rebounder coming out, so perhaps he can do that well. still, as you more or less said... youre hiring a coach to appease to the talents of udoh and biedrins... instead of the talents of your 3 [8, since they have a team of guys who can shoot and do nothing else] best players.

I wouldn't expect Biedrins to be back, since he kept losing his job and PT to Udoh, Gadzuric, Brendan Wright, and a host of other guys you didn't realize still played basketball. That team is what it is. Maybe if Udoh turns out to be a good defensive compliment to Lee and maybe they added a SF that's defensive minded to mix with Wright's sharp shooting and you throw in a real backup guard that's defensive minded (Acie Law, not happenin'), it could work. Probably never higher than a 7 or 8 seed at best, but a team that threatens to score 120 nightly, load up on highlight reel plays, and allow opposing players to pull off crazy statistical feats..

Mike Brown would just be a boner killer.

Wasn't it easier to have kept Smart? Mike Brown isn't a splash. His Cleveland teams hardly played offense aside from Lebron. And how good is he even as a coach? Lebron masked a lot of deficiencies.

bring back crazy steve and baron !

is biedrins a free agent or are you projecting a trade? id love him as knick, proven in the type of system, and he can guard true centers, which alas my man ronny couldnt do. just an injury risk, of course.

[Hammer]

who knew nick collison would transform himself into such a fantastic perimeter defender. hes been superb all series, though zbo is handling him now.

[Kingdom]

Why is James Harden a better play maker than Starbrook in this series? That's beyond fucked up

[Hammer]

that game 7 smell is prevalent.

[Kingdom]

It's not too late to bring back Kevin Ollie.

we shall see... the knicks beat the bulls twice, the regular season doesnt mean anything.

If the regular season doesn't mean anything, then why bother even having one? I get sick and tired of reading this particular comment by people, and especially the media. Mind as well start the playoffs and have no regular season.

I have never seen a #1 seed's chances of winning blown off so much, by sports pundits and fans alike, in my history of watching sports.

From the way fans and sports pundits talk about this upcoming series you'd think the Heat were about to square off with the Clippers.

yea i got attacked for that comment already. i also explained my thoughts on that, and retorted it. im not bothering again, consider me a moron all youd like.

As a die hard Bulls fan, I'm loving it! It adds more fuel to the fire, makes them wanting it more than the Heat.

Sorry I did not even see you respond to it, but now I did.

You like the 9ers and Giants. Out of curiosity, why the Bulls and not the Warriors?

[realmofotalk]

Chicago Bulls or Golden State Warriors...ya, tough choice for a fan growing up in the 90's.
