To be fair though, 2000 minutes in an 82 game season is only like 24.4 MPG. 2000 minutes half way through the season is just crazy. Thibs runs his players into the ground.

KG back wearing that Wolves Jersey is just Epic

i was soo f---ing tight when D rose forced himself to play for team USA........ just to prove to the bulls organization that he is back since all the behind the scenes beef with him n the team smfh. Never rush them knees man your an MVP if the bulls dont want you im pretty sure there are 20+ teams that do

Rose wasn't an MVP anymore he was the 4th best player on a team that's in the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference playoff race, if there's anything to be sad about it was watching him try to play like his old self this season

To be fair, we don't know when he got hurt. I think throughout the season when he was shooting so much he was trying take pressure of himself and set up easier driving lanes by knocking down outside jumpers, or he was hurting that day. Anyone that watches him on a consistent basis knows he has a very high basketball IQ. They only needed him to be an MVP in 4th quarters, and when others teams were going on runs, like the Hornets last night. He does a lot more for this team than the box score will show you. He gets extra attention anytime he is near the paint and breaks the defense down, setting up open jumpers for Pau, Dunleavy, Snell, and Niko, and opens driving lanes up for Jimmy. If he doesn't come back this season, only way the Bulls make it through 2 rounds in the playoffs is if Jimmy takes a Paul George like leap and takes his game and aggressiveness to another level.

Went to Spurs/Blazers game, it was pretty good but wish I saw the Spurs at a more elite level instead of on a 3 game losing streak that became a 4 game losing streak, but oh well. Still, Duncan looked amazing. He started out 7-7 and was hitting the boards too. Lenoard did very good as well, had about 4 steals, loved watching his D. Tony Parker looked awful and apparently is been the biggest reason the Spurs aren't playing like they used to according to what I read at least. Manu didn't seem to do much either.

I watch the Blazers all the time and they kinda annoy me tbh, but Batum finally had a good game, he's been probably their biggest disappointment this year. Aldrige had an off night, Lillard had a good game but not great, Wesley Matthews had a big night.

On another note, wtf are the Lakers doing? 2 game win streak now? That win last night was as awful as can be, they're really screwing themselves out of draft position, this sucks. They don't even know how to tank, Byron should be playing the guys who might be around next year and the young guys (Clarkson, Black, Davis, Ellington, even Sacre who I hate..) instead he's giving the veterans heavy minutes and those guys will have a good night every now and then and get some wins. Not at all how it should be done, really getting worried about that pick.

These 2 tweets sum up my feelings.

Tarik Black has played just 4 minutes in the past 2 games. Boozer has played 50.

^Like I said earlier, it should be the other way around. Boozer won't be around next year, Black probably will be and is young and could use some development. He's been solid when he's gotten minutes.

Ryan Kelapire @RyanKelapire · 12h12 hours ago
Again, 4th spot has 83% chance of keeping the pick, 3rd has 96%. Tonight’s win was horrific.


^Sorry but if anyone thinks a pointless win in February over the Jazz is more important than keeping a top 5 draft pick that may quickly turn around your franchise, then you're f---in crazy.

 

Feb 26, 2015

Teams who attract big name free agents because of location(Knicks/Lakers) shouldnt be allowed to tank, f--- yall n----s.

 

Feb 26, 2015

Yeah but is that even true anymore? Lol, hasn't happened in years.

 

Feb 26, 2015

Is what true?

 

Feb 26, 2015

Cavs vs. Warriors tonight...should be good!

 

Feb 26, 2015

LA/NY being attractive for big name FAs.

 

Feb 27, 2015

Really tempting to get into the NBA, that they play a game every two days or so appeals to me a lot - just finding it hard to pick a team to follow, Sacramento Kings appeal to me; if anyone follows Soccer, who are Chelsea's NBA equivalent? lol

 

Feb 27, 2015

Gar Foreman said Rose's timetable is 4-6 weeks. Surgery was minor and he walked out of the hospital. Should be back on the practice court next week. Same procedure Westbrook and Bledsoe had.

Feb 27, 2015

That's good to hear, I was under the impression Rose would be out a lot longer than that

 

Feb 27, 2015

Lol, Rose takes way longer to return from injuries than most, highly doubt he plays again this year and that includes the playoffs. He'll decide to be 'careful' about it and take his time.

 

Feb 27, 2015

Pretty clear that its true. Not as attractive now that they both s---(plus Kobe is a d-ck who nobody wants to play with now that he is no longer elite) but show me another team out there in the bottom 5 that could easily end up with a top FA this summer...You cant

Aint nobody going to Philly or Minnesota lol. Either LA or NY could land Okafor and then grab a big name FA and boom they are back.

 

Feb 27, 2015

OK, but u said attractive period. Not attractive while being a bottom team. But ya no one can argue that
