Because we are jealous we didn't do it?

If all three of these guys came to Chicago this entire board would have creamed.

Ripping Miami for pulling off what any team in their right mind would want to do smacks of sour grapes.

Well to be fair, I'm sure the 29 other teams were sour grapes. Now that I see what they're going to do to us for years unless we can get more help for Rose, why shouldn't I be sour grapes? Like you said, planned years ahead, and they picked Maimi probably for better weather and clubbing. The only way to overcome the jealousy was to beat them, and right now, it's clear we can't without some better players.

I'm sorry, but Derrick Rose is overrated. His team had multiple chances to win a must-win. The MVP stunk it up even worse than Durant did.

The only player I wanted was Wade. They could keep lebron.

You can say that all you want but this board last year at this time was ALL over us getting Lebron. Sigs, avatars threads etc etc. You were/are in the small minority.

I'd take Lebron to the Bulls in a second. Why?

Because he's the best player in the NBA.

the foul/free throw disparity bothers me quite a bit...but it doesn't matter. The Heat have better players. Congrats miami...you screwed the system and now you're going to win the ECF championship. Now I hope you get your fucking asses handed to you in the finals. You're a bunch of fucking bitches, and I wish you all to have absolutely no luck in your futures (unless your traded to the Bulls, which won't happen). bosh is ***, lebron's a *****, wade is allowing lebron to take over his team b/c he's afraid to make him mad. screw all of you, and God be with whomever plays you on a given night for the remainder of your careers.

Hold up...the way Lebron is playing in this series...he is the main reason Bulls are losing...he is stopping the Bulls best player while being the best player on Miami....gotta give him that respect.

Thibs: "Rose is getting to the basket, just not getting the calls"...don't think he means he needs to get more calls...just think he meant he wants it called the same on both ends.

I agree with him tonight...no doubt about it...

They picked Miami because they had the money to do it. Riley did a hell of a sell job. Riley started moving money around for this move in 2008...kept working all the way to the last minute to free up the money. Awesome job.

I'm just tired of the Lebitch stuff etc. Guy is a hell of aplayer and all this hate for those three is Special person. If they are here they are "selfless players and all about giving it up for the good of the team to win championships".

Go to a city other than Chicago? "Selfish and bitches" blah blah blah.

no i don't. he didn't come to chicago. he doesn't care if i respect him or not. I choose to hate him the same reason spike lee hated mj...he's not on his team. fine. yeah, we'd be damn-near unstoppable if we got him....but we didn't...he took less money than boozer if I'm not mistaken.....to play w/ 2 other all-stars...b/c he couldn't do it alone. right or wrong, that's what i'm sticking with.

Regardless of all of that, we're a slightly above avg sg from being just as tough as they are.

And if he came to Chicago to do it with Rose, Deng, Gibson, and Noah that proves he could have done it alone how exactly?

You'd be hard pressed to find many star players that won titles "alone"...Why should Lebron be held to a different standard?

After watching tonight, the Bulls need more than a slightly above average sg...they need another allstar offensive player...Rose choked tonight...and has throughout this series...lets call a spade a spade here...

I agree. Riley did a heck of a job, sacrificing those seasons for this. I'd give him the credit, but I think Wade probably told him to. It's a no brainer if you know those 3 are going to come to your team. We could've done the same, but we didn't. We only needed 2 of the 3 to be in their position. They all wanted to play together and there's nothing we could've possibly done about it. Good for them for getting what they want.

but why did he choke? b/c the other team could put their best defender, who is 6 inches taller, on him...Yeah, the two iso's against lbj late in the 4th were dumb...but what else could we do? We need a shooter, and a shooter who can create his own shot...someone to take SOME pressure off.

Exactly. Boozer hasn't exactly been the all star we wanted him to be. The trend has been made for years, you need multiple all stars to win and we only have 1. Unless Rose just magically becomes more clutch (and I really hope he does), we need another guy who can close out games. Miami has 3 and a bunch of spot up shooters. That's why they won down the stretch while we turn the ball over like 5 times.

In the first three quarters...the first half in particular...Rose had a chance to blow the game open. Even if his teammates were off...he could have hit some of his shots. He sucked offensively the whole game. Lebron didn't start guarding him until the fourth quarter...

you're comparing going to a team w/ Wade and Bosh (two all-star starters) to a team with Rose, Deng, Gibson and Noah? A group that consisted of one all-star appearance (as a reserve) among them? Remember, at the beginning of this season, Rose was considered about the 5th-6th best PG in the game.

Rose looks dead tired.

Rose 2011 = LeBron 2009-2010

I'm not disagreeing that he did not play well, save for a couple dunks in the 1st half...i'm just saying we've gotta have someone who can help take pressure off. Hell, Ronnie Freakin' Brewer hit the biggest shot in the game for us. really?
