Balta1701 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2012 -> 09:08 AM) An interesting write up on why the Bulls should chase Howard, even if he sign long term. http://www.csnchicago.com/basketball-chica...tm_medium=email Now that Rose is down for the count this actually makes some sense...but it makes the most sense in terms of "clearing the Bulls' big contracts". Howard isn't going to turn them into a champion next year without help, Howard's never going to get along with one of the NBA's best coaches, Howard's not going to stay in a situation that doesn't grant him total authority over everything. But, basically what the Bulls would be doing would be trading 2 long-term contracts for 2 shorter ones. Howard could still be movable at the trade deadline, and the Bulls could get to the "Cleared space" point fairly quickly if they got rid of both Deng and Noah's deals while still having the amnesty option.

Steve9347 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 22, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) Heat's support players have finally showed up. This series is over. I expect them to beat Boston and lose to whomever emerges from the west. Um, their support players? LeBron and Wade just skull-f***ed the Pacers for two straight games, that's what just happened.

I think this could be one of the better series in the NBA over the last decade, and could possibly make this season less s***ty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be tight, but for some reason I can't get excited about it. I can't put my finger on why, but it might be due to the lack of hatable players/storylines/bulls***.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The Spurs have really had OKC's number over the last couple of seasons, granted it's regular season games but I think the Spurs advance to the Finals. If both Miami and San Antonio meet in the Finals, it'll be athleticism vs fundamentals basketball, it'll be fun to watch. Pop>>>>Spo/Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalls2598 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Deng made the All Defensive Second Team. Tyson Chandler won Defensive Player of the Year, but the coaches voted Howard on the 1st team over Chandler. Also, Boozer had one vote. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Jerry Sloan is still out there doing nothing too. Seeing Wade blow up on Spoelstra during a playoff game does not make me think that Spoelstra has much time to get it done.

They ardently refused to do that yesterday while the Heat built their lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) You know the Eastern Conference sucks when the 76ers are a game away from the EC Finals. I thought Boston might give Miami trouble but they can't even put away a garbage Philly team...then again, it comes down to match ups and Bosh won't be anywhere near 100%.

They struggled to beat a Bulls team without Noah and Rose and are now playing an old and beat up Celtics team.

This is just some bs Chris Broussard threw out there during the pregame. This was right before he said he heard the Magic will look to trade Dwight for Bosh and Wade, then took it back as soon as he got laughed at by everyone else on the show.
