Barkley: "lebron will have to play like MJ to beat the Bulls in the ECF"

[Axl Rose]

LeBron always play well against us, I am more worried about our side...NOT LEBRON, we are going to need Deng, Noah and Boozer to show up against Miami This Time, because last year, both Noah and Boozer disappeared, then what disappoints me about Deng, when Miami put LeBron on Wade...where in the hell was Deng? He has to be the one that makes Miami Pay for Putting LeBron on Rose and putting a SHORTER GUY on him...Deng did not do that!

So I don't give a damn about LeBron and what he does, LeBron only stops HIMSELF, we can't flat out SHUT HIM DOWN, that is not going to change, it is all about who else will step up offensively for us if/when Rose is having a Bad Night or if he can't get off Offensively because LeBron is on him

agreed 100%

"Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play the game. I may go so far as saying LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game."

That was after the ECF last year. Certain great player made that statement. I think Bulls fans should worry more about Rose stepping up instead of Lebron. Lebron wowed hall of fame players after his performance against the Bulls. His confidence is high against this team.

Rose is 11-19 from the free throw line in the last minute of clutch games. Not good. Focus on that.

He sure WOWED hall of fame players with his performance against the Mavs. KING DIRK the future Hall of Famer was the one who wowed hall of fame players.

Since you just have to post from the Pro-lebron side.

That great player was Scottie Pippen who said that. Funny thing is, he retracted that statement the next day. But let's not mention that.

"It wasn't my teammates' fault that we lost last year; it was me. Me not making the plays and me not playing smart enough throughout the whole game."

Okay, that was Mr. Rose...that work for ya?

By the way, the point of the Pippen quote was that Lebron was dominant on that all time great level Barkley talked about...it prompted Pippen to make the statement he made, accurate or not, Lebron was impressive. But you were too busy joining in Lex Loser's choir that the league and the refs wanted the Bulls to lose to notice. Don't blame Scottie or me for your not paying attention.

 

[houheffna]

Um, I didn't focus on you. He did.

I wasn't even thinking about you. I saw this interview and posted it. This is a Bulls forum and this is a positive view on a possible Bulls vs. Heat series.

I guess you can't post things like this here.

Plus, I didn't mention your name once! Someone else did. Get over yourself.

And you thanked him for the post...I assumed you agreed with it...you didn't?

So you're ignoring that he retracted that same statement?

Also, Rose is going to take the blame, he's the leader of the team. Nothing to see here. That's what we love about him.

But like I said, you're attacking me, but I didn't even come at you. You just getting mad because someone in the NBA doesn't agree with you. And can you please attack Bears06, since he was the one the brought you up and not me, please?

Thank you.

 

[Glide2keva]

I thought it was funny, whether I agreed with it or not is beside the point.

And again, attack him for bringing you up, not me because I didn't do it.

 

[houheffna]

He sure WOWED hall of fame players with his performance against the Mavs. KING DIRK the future Hall of Famer was the one who wowed hall of fame players.

You missed the point...totally. Although there are 10 posts from different people saying the same damn thing in different ways...you missed the point. Oh well.

You should love the fact that Rose also realized his responsibilities when it came to that series. He didn't play well, you should probably watch the series again.

Your incessant whining because of your claims of being attacked aside...

Barkley disagreed with me last year, he said Bulls would win, I disagreed. I disagree with people in the NBA all the time...why would that make me mad?

I said its about Rose, not Lebron...and that is what Bulls fans, which you are, should be worried about.
Don't raise the expectations of the other team, worry about the performance of the Bulls.

 

[sicko]

Barkley picking us is BAD LUCK!

the heat are honestly more built for the playoffs

that said, the bulls this year will be very tough to beat in a 7 game series

So you missed the post where I said he did what he was supposed to do and took the blame. That's why we love the kid. I don't need to watch the series again because that was last year and this is this year.

Your incessant whining because of your claims of being attacked aside.

So, in other words, you're going to go at Bears06 for bringing your name up? I'm reminding you that I wasn't and didn't come at you and you jumped on me because I though what dude said was funny. Why are you all butt hurt over it? You got beef with dude, not me. In case you hadn't noticed (again) but I don't even try to engage you in that way.

Yet you steady come at me. Get over yourself, no one has to walk on egg shells around here to protect your fragile little ego.

Barkley disagreed with me last year, he said Bulls would win, I disagreed. I disagree with people in the NBA all the time...why would that make me mad?

Obviously you were mad because you dusted off an old ass Scottie Pippen "Praise The Chosen 1" quote. It's okay if someone doesn't think lebron is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

He's a great player and all, but we don't have to slurp his cawk. Especially since he doesn't play for my team and plays on my team's biggest current rival.

I don't think so.

The heat are great and all, but they are not unbeatable.

 

[FirstTimer]

Anyone that picks the Bulls over Miami doesn't know shit about basketball.

Be prepared.

Not really.

Depending on the analysis or the context given the moment I could see it. I wouldn't pick the Bulls to beat the Heat in a 7 game series. If they did it would I be shocked? No. It would just be unexpected. I'd be happy but that doesn't mean I'd predict it.

 

[FirstTimer]

I'm convinced you're mentally disabled.

Nothing his post said even alluded to the idea the Heat were unbeatable.

 

[Glide2keva]

Seems like Heat players think the Bulls are better than given credit for.

Bosh didn't believe it was that simple to proclaim one team was clearly better at this point. He felt determining the better team could come down to a given game between the Bulls and Heat.

"When you have two elite teams like that, it's not much separation," Bosh said. "It's game to game. Whoever makes the most mistakes is going to lose. No team is better than the other. I think we're both equal. The winning team is going to play the better game."

Heat guard Dwyane Wade had a similar feeling. Although the Bulls have said they view the defending Eastern Conference champs as the team to beat, the Heat realize they're chasing the Bulls just as much.

"We can go back and forth with this soap opera," Wade said. "They're the best team right now in the NBA. They can say something nice about us; we can say something nice about them. At the end of the day, they're a hell of a ballclub. They're very deep. They're tough to beat them. Last year, it was really close.

"Yeah, we're the Eastern Conference champs, and you have to knock down the champs, but at the same time we're still chasing a team who has gotten better from last year, a team who is the best team in the NBA right now, and we have to chase them."

But what do they know?

Miami Heat don't care if Charles Barkley likes Chicago Bulls better - ESPN Chicago

What'd you expect the Heat to say?

You are still trying to prove that the Bulls are a good team? Using politically correct quotes from opposing players? Really?

wasn't really directed at you. Just saying because people are acting like they are.

that's a pretty provocative assumption
