southsider2k5 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 25, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) It seems they want a defensive minded coach who has been a head coach before to try to toughen up that side of their game. Not to mention one who has experience staying out of the way of superstars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (Tex @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) The way the Heat put their team together really pisses me off. It will be really easy for me to just not pay any attention to the NBA for many seasons. Why? The Bulls are going to be contenders every year with Rose only getting better. Yes the Heat may beat us every year but we got Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Heat may beat us every year but we got Rose. If the Bulls had a SG that could put in 12 pts a game, this series would be over tomorrow in favor of the Bulls.

Maybe. Guys like Dirk and Kobe (especially Dirk) are still going plenty strong at age 32. Wade just turned 29 in January. If he can stay healthy, he'll be a force for the next 4-5 years.

I'd add ball handing and finishing at the rim to that. Rose also carries his team while Wade does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always had nagging injuries as well as his major shoulder injury. that kind of stuff wears on players like him and their bodies progressively get harder to maintain. im not saying he cant do it, but Wade hits the ground hard a lot, I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt get up without a limp one time.

Rose also carries his team while Wade does not. Of course he doesn't. He plays with the best player in the league. But it was just two years ago he was droppin' 30 PPG with regularity on elite efficiency. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 25, 2011 -> 07:49 PM) that is the caveat with Wade.
