NBA Chatter Thread

I wanted to strangle Kendrick Perkins when he fumbled away that inbound pass with 1 minute to play.

I really hope the Thunder amnesty that scrub this off-season. I can't take two more years of fake tough guy.

I think that is the perfect description of the guy.
 
The Bulls continue to impress.

Win or lose, they've done one helluva job tonight.
 
Nate fricking Robinson! :lol

The Bulls might actually win this game.
 
How about Nate Robinson out-classing Lebron and Wade down the stretch. Unbelievable.
 
Unbelievable.

What the Bulls have accomplished these last 2 weeks is one of the most impressive team performances I have ever seen in the NBA.

Wade took a terrible shot when it was a still a two point game.

He should have drove to the hoop or cleared out for Lebron. Personally I think Lebron should have had the ball in his hand. He was playing well and finishing in the lane converting 3 point plays.

Yea, that was a very bad possession there for Miami and Spoelstra should have drawn it up for Lebron there.

He was pretty much all the offense they had for much of that 4th quarter.

About the Bulls, I'd be impressed if they did this with Hinrich and Deng. But to do it without them? Crazy.

If Thibs doesn't win coach of the year, then the award is a joke.
 
I heard a stat that in the past 46 games Miami is 2-2 against the Bulls and 41-1 against the rest of the league, that's nuts.
 
And Jimmy Butler is doing one of two things; pushing Deng off the roster if his salary demands get too high when his current contract is up or pushing his value up enough to where we can include him in a package for Love and he'll be a coveted piece.

Jimmy Butler

Crazy how a guy like that can slip through the recruiting cracks. A good friend of mine is a high school basketball coach in Austin and knows another Austin high school head coach who used to be an assistant at Stephen F. Austin State U. This guy said that he tried to convince the head coach at SFA that they should give Butler a scholarship out of high school but the head coach said no, not good enough. Who knows if that guy is bullshitting or not. Easy to say now that he was pushing to recruit Butler then, but the point is that he was barely recruited out of high school, even in his own area, and now he's a legit NBA talent.

Just about 95% of the national exposure HS recruits get is from the AAU scene unless they're just some prodigy that everybody knows about from the time they're 13. Butler, from what I remember, was not exposed to AAU whatsoever because of his family situation.
 
I think that's about that for Golden State. They'll win a game or two but I'd be very surprised if they could come back from a loss where they were shooting damn near 60% through 3+ quarters and had a 16 point lead with under 4 minutes left in the 4th.

They've been impressive and have alot to look forward to but I can't see them coming back from this.

Here's another one for you. Since the Miami Heat Big 3 have been together the Bulls are 9-8 against the Heat.

They are the only team in the NBA with a winning record versus the Heat during that time span.

Man this series would be interesting if they could get healthy. The way it is now, the Heat probably win this series 4-1 or 4-2 still. I hear Deng is still in a hospital bed, though. Apparently he had a ridiculous infection of some sort that required a spinal tap. Hinrich is day to day, and then of course, who the hell knows what's happening with Rose.

Also... is Rip Hamilton just benched?
 
I'm sure Hamilton has been benched. Would you even want Rip to play?

The guy has been done for a good 2 or 3 years now.
 
I think even without Rose a fully healthy Bulls team is probably the 2nd best team in the East. Clearly with him they are but I think even without him they could beat the Knicks or Pacers in a 7 game series if they were reasonably healthy, although it'd be close.
