Off Topic Board

Bulls have The Lakers next if Rose comes back and lights them up McLovin will never hear the end of it.

Oh yeah there is still some time for him to gel at least a little bit with the team. But if he comes back he has to soon otherwise it's pointless. I've been hearing next week. But they have some good pieces for him to work with. Belinelli should get some more open 3's, Noah should be more loose on the offensive boards. Boozer will be Boozer. Bulls need Taj Gibson back and Kirk Hinrich back soon too. When they are healthy they are right at the top. But they can't stay healthy at all.

Sounds like Gibson and Hinrich are out.

Geez Jimmy Butler, Kobe going to go off now.

"I'm not even worried about that, man," Butler says. "I'm not the Kobe stopper. We as a team are."

Avatar bet for 1 week on today's game McLovin?

Sweet pic of Howard and B Griner

Uh oh Nate Robinson starting to heat up a little..........

He has been a pretty damn cheap good pick up for The Bulls. I love him when he is hot hate him when he keeps chucking and missing. Bulls need Rose back period. Hinrich would help too but man they just can't score. Boozer needs to get hot again.

Absolutely not. Noah is a hustle player, and a good one at that, but they need to get someone else for Rose. Boozer sure as hell isn't that guy. Jordan and Rodman couldn't have gotten it done by themselves without Pippen, and Rodman averaged just less than Noah does for ppg, and Rodman had a 7 year span when he averaged over 15 boards per game, and 2 of the years it was over 18 a game. Noah has yet to average over 11/game. However, I know you won't pay attention to any of this because "you don't look at stats."

Well he can improve on his 10 foot jumpers all day, if he's the #2 option on a team, they will never win a title. Gotta have a 2nd scorer, to go along with Rose, and a hustle player (Noah). I'm giving you an unbiased opinion here Maury, I don't dislike the Bulls at all.

I think you are selling Noah short. He has shown he can score 20+ points in games and gets double doubles all day. He is far more than a hustle player. He is also the best passing center in the league. It will be interesting to see what happens when Rose comes back. I just hope we don't have to wait until next year to find out. The Bulls also have a couple other pieces that have been contributing in Belinelli and Butler. I think they can make up for not having a true #2 scoring option with the pieces they have now.....as long as everyone is healthy.

I'm not selling Noah short at all. You say he's shown he can score 20 or more points in games, but yet his highest season average is 11.7. Maury, I'm a stats guy. I'll pay more attention to the stat book, than I will a homer when it comes to talking about players. You seriously can't talk sports without being biased. Noah is NOT a scorer. 6.6, 6.7, 10.7, 11.7, 10.2, and this year so far, with the Bulls star playing being hurt, he's averaging a career high 12.9. Now no offense Maury, but just because he has a 20 point game every now and then means nothing. Those 20 point games, get balanced out with sub-10 point games. He's not a scorer and never will be. At least not until he fixes his jump shot form, that's the ugliest thing I've seen in the NBA since Shaq's free throw form. Not only that, but this year he's shooting under 50% from the field, that's not very good AT ALL for a post player.
