Since I put him on ignore this thread has gotten better. It's one thing to have an intelligent debate about sports but when a grown ass man acts like a teenage girl I have have no time for it. Seriously everybody need to put this cat on ignore. 146 posts in a thread that you not a fan of the team
lol..i feel you on that one.
But Im not gonna put him on ignore. Sometimes I actually like the shit talking/typing. Online and offline. He types a lot of BS but sometimes the shit is entertaining..especially when his own words come back to bite him in the ass.
Not long ago no other team in the league could really talk shit about the Celtics except the Lakers. I know that theyre stil the fav to come out the East by many analyst...but thats yet to be seen. A lot has changed for them...changed for the worst IMO. Theyre stil a decent team...but not that same team from 08 that won that title. Thats why Beeii types in Heats threads, Bulls threads, etc. And thats why he flip flops and becomes a Knicks fan every once in a while. He's really a Celtics fan but he knows the gig will be up soon or later.
The Bulls are literally one piece away from being Champions...the Heat are a few moves away from being Champions...the Knicks..Nets, Magic (depending on what happens to Howard) etc. are all coming up...but his team is finally dying off. The thrill that they had in 08 is gone and he knows it.
Anyways..
We get challenged by a good Hawks team tonight.Hope we can get the win.
GO BULLS!!!!!!!!!!
I hear you, I know how it is to toy with lower intelligence, carry on.
They deserved to lose. They are a terrible road team and their decision making was terrible. They were up by 19 in the first half, and in the second half it looked like they were all trotting up the court half-dead. That, along with Tibbs rotations sealed their fate.
I am concerned that they don't have a vocal leader on the floor to have kats step it up. If they show up in Orlando and Miami like they did tonight, they're gonna get that ass kicked.
That's why I feel like the Bulls just went into the locker room at half time saying "fuck this game". It was almost like they just didn't give a fuck in the second half.

Man, i'm not liking Tibbs at all.
...but overall he got them looking good. The Bulls chemistry is INCREDIBLE during year number one with a new team. Yeah theyve had some fucked up games whereas they let their foot off the pedal....but overall theyve been the most consistent team in the NBA most of the season. Hope Rasual can help us out. If he plays like he did when he averaged 11+ points a game...then this wil be a nice pick up.
Come on man!
After a few bad games?
The Bull are 41-18. Yeah theyve had some fucked up games whereas they let their foot off the pedal....but overall theyve been the most consistent team in the NBA most of the season.
This last loss reminds be of the first game that they played versus the Spurs. They were basically shutting the spurs down and had a nice sized lead. But then after ballin' for 1.75 quarters, they let their foot off the gas and lost the game in a close one. The Bulls need to learn how to play a full game of basketball...not just 1 half. They need to learn how to completely crush their opponent once they have a big lead. Ive noticed when they play the good/mediocre teams i.e. the teams that are ranked 5th and below in the standing, they seem to get lackadaisical after a while, especially on the road. they collapse offensively and defensively.
Theres a part of me that thinks that we cant win a title this year because of the way that we play on the road, 15-14 record, lack of consistency at the right times and because theres no other option when Rose goes cold. But theres another part of me that thinks that we can win a title with the team that we have. Like Ive stated before...we've been more consistent than not this year. Look at our stats. We also know how to win versus the top teams i.e. the teams that wil more than likely make a run for a title this year. Thats why Im not tripping hard about this lost.
But....the one thing I am tripping about is Boozers "Carmelo Anthony" type defense. He is a shit defensive player! It seems like he just doesnt try to play defense down in the paint. Nigga dont box out, doesnt help Noah when he's struggling with players, etc. Look at the amount of points that the opposing PF's score on us..especially in loses. The Bulls have great perimeter defense more times than not, but they suck down in the paint...and Boozer is one of the main reasons we they suck in the paint.
Noah plays decent defense...but he's basically on the Bulls to grab boards and pick up garbage points off those board. He also provides energy and allows the Bulls to spread the floor. Theres no scoring plays designed for Noah because he's really not considered a scoring options. Noah plays his role very well, but sometimes he needs help defensively; thats where the 80 million dollar Man is supposed to come in..but he doesnt.
Out of the three players that we took from Utah, Kyle and Boozer are the worst defensively. Kyle hasnt been consistent enough...hopefully he'll heat up in the playoffs. Boozer is doing what he's supposed to do scoring wise...but he need to get his shit together on the defensive side....or if he doesnt Tom Tibby needs to let his ass ride the bench more and try out some different lineups. Let him get his 16-19 points then start rotating the big men. Let Big Sexy play more if you have to.
As for Kurt Thoma not playing....Its obvious that theyre gonna play Asik i.e. another player that also cant play defense but can grab board, play more during the regular season. But I expect Kurt to play a much bigger role in the Playoffs...mark my words!
We have a nice amount of issues offensively and defensively..and I expect us to lose a few more games that we should win....but we're a good team. We're one of the best in the league....we'll be fine. So dont panic...
I think/hope we can win tomorrow versus the Magic later today; but I dont know about Sundays game in Miami. Im sure Miami will be on extra grind mode after their tough loss tonight. And if they lose to the Spurs tomorrow...then theyll be even more hungry.
BTW Beeiii...your team is overrated and trash...but as far as winning on the road Ill admit that yall are the kings of the East. Thats one element of many that you need to master in order to win titles.
GO BULLS!!!!!!!
BTW.....dont expect the Bulls new SG Rasual Butler to play big mins anytime soon. Forcing his mediocre ass in when he's really not needed would fuck up the chemistry that we do have. On the other hand.....is he better than Bogans? Maybe. anyways...we'll see.
ok im done ranting................
Thats whats make me worry about the playoffs. The rotations, our defense in the paint and the way we play on the road overall.
A few guys on ESPN radio were saying that they dont understand why Tom Tibby doesnt run more plays for Deng while the rest of the starters are on the bench. Usually when the Bench players come in, Deng is usually the only starter/best shooter/scorer on the floor. But instead of Deng shooting the ball more frequently, they usually have Watson and all these other non consistent players making stupid mistakes and turning the ball over.
Hoping Rasual adapt quickly and help them out a little.
Like I stated before...I actually like Tom. This is his first year coaching and besides the few badly coached/played games here and there, the Bulls are far from terrible.....so Im not gonna come down on him too hard. but some things need to be figured out before the playoffs start. If not..then I fear theyll be out in the first round. Losing to the Knicks or some shit.

so tell me this Chitownheadbusa,
If a team that has lead the eastern conference the entire 60+game season is "overrated and trash" what are all the other 28 teams below them called
one more loss tomorrow will put the bullshits 4 games back!!!
Have fun in sunny Orlando tomorrow against the 4 in a row game winning magic!!
Good luck with that!!!!!
