Jenksismyhero Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) How stupid does Scottie Pippen feel right about now? That dumbass still to this day doesn't realize that MJ made him what he was. Scottie - MJ= Reggie Lewis or something. This might be the dumbest post I've read in this thread.

ZoomSlowik Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) They need to somehow find legit talent for the bench, one guy that can come in and average 10 ppg. Playing an expired Mike Bibby, Eddy House, Juwan Howard, etc just isn't going to cut it. They also need a legit talent at PG and C in the starting lineup. Outside of tonights abysmal game, Mario Chalmers started to make some progress. But he still got abused by JJ Barea all series long. From what I can tell, Miami seems to have the 31st pick in the draft, so they might be able to add a legit talent to the rotation. I'm just hoping they somehow can end up with an athletic center that can defender, rebound, and not worry about having to score. I like Chalmers at the point for them personally. He's a decent shooter and usually a capable defender. It'd be hard for them to find much better with their limited budget. You just have to hope he plays a little smarter with experience. If Mike Miller gets healthy, I think he fits that 10 PPG type that can punish people from deep. Someone else that can get hot certainly wouldn't hurt. That center you mention at the end would definitely be what I would focus on though. Joel Anthony fits a lot better as a 4th big. If they can even find a Kendrick Perkins type that can average like 8-6 and defend, that'd be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're going to pretend the Pacers, who took out the Shaq/Penny Magic in a sweep, the #1 seed in Atlanta in 6 games and pushed the Knicks to 7 games (lost 94-90 in game 7) didn't exist? There is absolutely no guarantee the Bulls would've beaten the Pacers, let alone the Rockets, without HC advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already liked LeBron and Wade as individual players as it is.. Um what? Also, LOL Lebron with your postgame presser. We all still have to wake up with personal problems tomorrow? That's your answer to that question? Will they throw another pre-celebration for next year's championship during this off-season?

There is absolutely no guarantee the Bulls would've beaten the Pacers, let alone the Rockets, without HC advantage. 1) I mis-remembered, thought that they played them in the conference finals. I editted my previous post a bit. 2) I never said they would beat Houston, just that they would have had a legit shot at a ring. 3) The Pacers weren't exactly a juggernaut, they won 47 games and went 1-4 against the Bulls in the regular season. Reggie Miller was the only reason they challenged the Knicks, and Pippen likely would have guarded him down the stretch. New York was easily the toughest team in the East, I don't really care that Atlanta won 57 games too. Edit- Oh, and Dominque Wilkins didn't even play in the post-season. Atlanta's lineup in the post-season was Mookie Blaylock, Stacy Augmon, Craig Ehlo, Danny Manning and Kevin Willis. AWESOME team! 4) As I editted in, that wasn't exactly a stellar supporting cast either. The starting lineup was BJ Armstrong, Pete Myers, Scottie, Horace Grant, and the four headed monster of mediocre centers.

They lost in the second round in both '94 and '95. And I don't recall anybody serving up a 34-year old MJ. Though MJ is worlds better than Pippen. Still, the Blazers were up 16 points in game 7 against the Lakers in the 4th quarter. Pippen's line that quarter: 0/3 from the field and 1 point.

DBAHO Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Lebron's gonna feel great tomorrow? At some point you wonder if that guy even cares at this point. No doubt you'll see rumors of Spoelstra being thrown under the bus coming out from Lebron's crew over the next 24-48 hours, pretty inevitable really.
