Jose Abreu Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 07:06 PM) Does Taj ever give the ball up if he is near the paint? No. It's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) No. It's terrible. I'm over Taj. I think his time was the year they made the mistake of signing Boozer but now it's time to trade him and let Portis play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 They're not going to win 72, obviously. That's a ridiculous expectation in the west. But the Warriors are every bit as good, if not better, than they were last year so far. They're a pleasure/joy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) Are Bulls fans stoked about Hoiberg? What's the fan reaction after a few games? He's a good offensive tactician. The problem is, he has a team that was essentially built by Thibs, the Rose/Butler problem is a reality, and health continues to be a problem. There's a ton of talent on the Bulls, but they just aren't much of a team. Hoiberg does look like a pretty good coach so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think all of these statements, other then their is talent on the team, are incredibly premature. They could very well be true, but coming to any of the conclusions you made based upon the current sample size is just extremely premature.

Especially since they have been winning with defense and their offense has been dreadful thus far. They could end up being really good on offense and I'm certainly not going to draw any conclusions based on 8 games but saying that Hoidberg is a good offensive mind when the Bulls have been one of the worst offensive teams in basketball thus far is pretty funny to me.

southsider2k5 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Haven't seen this mentioned, but the Bulls are starting their own D-League team to play in the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The Warriors just dropped 75 points on the Wolves in the first half. I don't even know what to say anymore.

That's like saying every team is going to start molding their franchies after the 90's Bulls or 00's Lakers. I'm pretty sure they all try to find superstar talent. That's the missing ingredient there. The Warriors have Curry. No one else does. Without Curry the Warriors are just a good shooting team. He makes them historically elite. I'll steal a play out of your playbook and make a definitive statement (that I 100% believe): he's the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA. I think we can anoint him that title now. He's on pace to break his own record for 3 pointers made. He's got more made himself than like 5 teams in the league through 10 games. He hits circus shots from every spot on the floor. The dude, to me, is more exciting to watch than anyone since Jordan. And that would include AI, Vince, Kobe, Lebron, etc. My mouth drops with some of the stuff he does on the court.

bmags Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yes Curry and the Warriors are must-watch. That said I missed last nights game. Was not suprised to see 75 dropped on twolves in a half. Was surprised Garnett didn't bite someone during that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 To me Steph is the most exciting athlete in all of sports to watch right now and it's not even close. Hasn't been discussed here yet but the Warriors aren't winning 72, just wanted to throw that out there since it's becoming a topic of conversation already in other spots.

It's too simplistic to say they just have Curry and nobody else does. The Warriors are changing the game. The way they completely keep the floor spread offensively at all times is amazing. Then on defense they can get away with an overall lack of size because of their length/athleticism/versatility. Just watch 'em on d. They can switch on anything or anybody and not lose a thing. Draymond Green is a big part of that. Just read what scouts and GMs are looking for these days. They're not looking for the next LeBron James. They want the next Draymond Green.

bmags Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 This is literally the same stuff you were spouting about the heat 2 years ago (players without positions!!!). So if anything, this is what the heat/OKC started, the warriors just have the talent to finish it. Daryl morey also a big reason for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heat did what they did because LeBron could play the four (allowing the heat to keep an extra shooter on the floor at all times) and he passes better than all but about 4 point guards. The Warriors are different. Their entire roster fits where the game is at today. There's a reason Gasol/Noah are worthless playing together. One traditional big is fine. Two? No good.

Chisoxfn Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm fairly certain, a player like Shaq could be an absolute monster against a team like the Warriors. Problem is, Shaq is one of a kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
