kev211 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 If drawing contact means Rose is going to get hurt a lot I'd rather he just avoid contact and go back to what he was doing. Its working even if he isn't getting to the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'm surprised no one is talking about the three way trade expected to go down on Wednesday or Thursday. Lakers get: Joe Smith Houston gets: Terrance Williams New Jersey gets: Sasha Vujajic 1st Rounder from Houston 1st rounder from LA(IIRC) Sets them up really good for a Melo deal.

Melo isn't going to the Nets!! The biggest deal here is Terrence Williams getting away from Avery Johnson. He's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Apparently Carmelo HAS been traded to the Nets, according to ABC7 News out of Denver. They're the only ones reporting it though. Kinda skeptical. Reported deal is Favors, Murphy and Picks to the Nuggets for Melo. The deal hinges on Melo choosing to re-sign with NJ or not.

SoxAce Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 03:47 AM) If drawing contact means Rose is going to get hurt a lot I'd rather he just avoid contact and go back to what he was doing. Its working even if he isn't getting to the line. I hate to say it, but he'll probably have to start flopping or/and yelling to get calls when he's driving. He does avoid contact cause of his terrific core balance, but when he does get fouled (and he does alot getting to the hoop) he won't get the calls. Guys like Westbrook and CP3 are terrific at that. (for better or worse reasons) As for the whole PG debate, I tend to rate guys as overall players more-so than pure position. A guy like Rondo for example is the better pure PG/distributor, whereas Rose is the better overall player. Kind of the reason I like a guy like D-Will nowadays (didn't think that a year or two ago at all) more-so than CP3. Can distribute (even if he doesn't have the better vision), but when it's time to take over (or when your team is down) he can be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Bulls revealed today that Noah is dealing with Bruised tendons in his right hand that won't heal because he keeps getting whacked on them during games, originally hurt them earlier this month. Might explain why he's struggled a bit more this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The Bulls are concerned Joakim Noah may have ligament damage in his right (shooting) thumb, sources tell ESPN Chicago. This has gone from a mild concern to a real worry. Noah went through shootaround Wednesday and is expected to play against the Raptors, but is set for testing back in Chicago Thursday. If the examination reveals a need for surgery, ESPN Chicago is speculating Noah could miss at least eight weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 After what the Magic have done after the past 6 games or so (albeit the team was decimated by a stomach bug), I wonder if Otis Smith is getting antsy to make a move at the wing position. Don't think we can get out of the East as currently constructed (unless Lewis and VC both play at their best which I don't see happening in the playoffs). Lewis's falloff as a player has been quite dramatic to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) It's tough not to love these Bulls. by Michael Wilbon CHICAGO -- There was sobbing throughout Northeast Ohio and plenty of whining in New York City when LeBron James decided to take his talents to South Beach. Meanwhile, in Chicago, Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah shrugged and went back to the gym. With all due respect to the skills of LeBron and Chris Bosh and the recruiting savvy of Dwyane Wade, Rose and Noah weren't begging anyone to join them, which is part of what makes this the most irresistible Bulls team since Michael and Scottie left town. "My thing was, no one person can make a decision for a group," Rose said last week. "Guys knew if they came, we'd have welcomed them. But ... " Visit link for the entire, excellent article. Wilbon's last two articles involving the Bulls have been very good. This paired with his weekly segment on Waddle & Silvy have been nice. I love me some Wilbon.
