kumquatq3 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Branching off the other thread Btw, kumquatq3 great avatar. Being a Cincinnati fan I had to look elsewhere to be an NBA fan, so I'm a Bulls fan. And damn are they on fire right now! Future is looking good in Chicago. Considering their hardest stretch of schedule is behind them and their only 2.5 gmes back of a playoff spot ::knock on wood:: they got a shot at the playoffs in the East. Their beating good teams, and not "good" East teams, but Western conference teams. Ben Gordon is a machine and they got ROBBED at theend in that Dallas game btw.

Ewen Brown Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 bah, the bulls are a basically a college team they'd be better of not making the playoff and as much as the lakers are doing bad they're still way better than the bulls, if the lakers find some glue to paste their game together they might even have a chance at the title which is somethnig the bulls couldn't even dream about at this point. on their good nights the lakers are quite good but they currently lack consistency.

Ewen Brown Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 well you have potential, once you get some more talent and your hatchlings leave their eggs and grow (hopefully for you successfully) you could be there in a few years provided clevland can't build a worthy team around lebron Winterwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessSarah Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I'm actually a much bigger fan of college basketball, but since there's no NHL season this year *mutters* I've been watching more NBA games lately.

Arkan Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Miami Heat, baby! "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkan Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Miami Heat, baby! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They won yesterday while Shaq lost. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What do you mean Shaq lost? He scored fewer points that Kobe? (while taking at least ten fewer shots and fouling out with over 2 minutes left to play). Miami won, therefore, Shaq won. "Of course the people don't want war.

kumquatq3 Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 I'm just happy Kobe was the one to miss the game winner. Made my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Scoring points isn't the only way to help your team win. Setting up a pick, blocking shots, getting rebounds, boxing out, playing D, etc. are all important. Rodman (despite all the off-the-court hooplah) was a great player who helped teams win. He was unselfish on the court, and was a great rebounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellester Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Yea, the Bulls are still the baby Bulls, and have been for the last 5 years because when everyone grows up, Chicago trades them. The Baby Bulls have a great collection of young talent on their team, as evidenced by going undefeated in the Rocky Mountain classic in the off-season. Anyway, the two hardest positions to fill on a basketball team are the point guard and the center positions, as there just aren Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumquatq3 Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 You forgot about Gordon when you talked about their young guards. He is half the reason their winning these games. As for the trades, I guess you mean Artest and Crawford. Artest.....well, I think both teams lost in that trade. As for Crawford, we couldn't have kept him and Kirk, he just wasn't having it. He wasn't playing anything like he is now with the Knicks either (tho he got hurt recently) Don't forget about Williams and his motorcycle accident. You don't just lose your first round (second pick overall?) draft pick and shrug it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
