Monte51Coleman Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Stern screwed the Clippers by not letting the Kevin Garnett for Deandre Jordan trade go through when they got Doc Rivers. Jordan is so overrated it's not even funny. Some highlight plays here and there while having a low BBall IQ and poor fundamentals. Joey Crawford as usual called a bunch of quick fouls on a Miami Heat opponent early in the game letting them take over once Noah and Deng had to sit early. Lol. It only took one game for someone to start complaining about the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Who doesn't love Barkley's playoff picks? I didn't think it was possible to love a TV sports talking head as much as I love Charles Barkley. The entire TNT crew and show is fantastic.

Sticksboi05 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Stephen A Smith is already complaining that the Bulls aren't giving D. Rose any help. Ridiculous. He has help but not that go-to second scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 He has help but not that go-to second scorer. He has at least as much help as Dirk had with the Mavs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Rose was "crossed" even though he's supposed to go over the top of the Birdman pick because Cole's a threat from 3. He's supposed to funnel Cole baseline into Nazr who was there. But 1) Nazr should have come out a little bit more and 2) Rose shouldn't have bit on the pick that drastically, which gave Cole tons of open room since Nazr didn't step up much. The Heat bench destroyed the Bulls bench. There were a lot of simple errors from the Bulls bench when contesting 3's, such as two guys both jumping out on Ray Allen when only one of them should have. Made a lot of easy swings and open looks for the Heat bench. Ray Allen had like 7 or 8 assists from defender mistakes. I recall the Bulls made those defensive mistakes a lot early last season, specifically Marco Bellineli. It took him awhile to understand who should contest what and where he should stand if he's not contesting. Lack of scoring is going to kill the Bulls. Didn't realize it until last night, but the loss of Nate Robinson is going to catch up with them at some point. He wouldn't have worked on this new Bulls team. He was already getting a bit grumpy when he didn't get enough minutes. With Rose back, Nate would be one unhappy player. I'm not saying Nate's a bad team guy, I'm just saying he wants to play. I don't think he wanted to re-sign with the Bulls. Edited October 30, 2013 by Alcoholic Zebra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Deng and Butler do a nice job defending LeBron. Once Rose is playing well, they're going to have the players to match up favorably against Miami. Stephen A. Smith is full of crap saying Rose has no help. That Chicago team is good. They're one of the best contenders in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a hell of a performance and against the Heat no less. That was arguably even more impressive than Wall's first home game when he had a 29-13-9 steals stat line. Right now MCW doesn't know what he doesn't know yet, so he's going out and just playing on instinct and athleticism. He's going to ambush people until they figure out what he is. Then the wall comes. It's going to be fun to watch him in the meantime. It'll serve Philly right too if he ends up being good right off the bat and they finish with like a 7th pick.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Houston is going to play basketball like something out of a SORM conference fever dream. Everybody on that team does 2 things well and they are coached to only do those two things. Also, you had better bring your jump shot every time you play them. There is going to be no room in the paint against them. Doesn't a really terrible team beat a really good team right out of the gate every season? I seem to remember the first Post-Lebron Cleveland team beating someone really good the first week. And the Wizards seem to have a traditional annihilation of a contender every November.

Going Commando Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Why is the NBA suddenly trying to get rid of hesitation dribbles? People have been palming the ball when they dribble all the time for nearly 30 years. People like watching great ball handlers do their thing and get themselves open. My grandpa was the only one complaining about palming. His generation is the only one that preferred watching guys slap the ball down the court with wooden, shoulder high dribbles.
