I'm bored with your shit... have fun.

So...no legit answer? That's what I thought.

Fair enough, but for me, those first two games totally took the Bulls out of their game from the physicalness, but hey, that's my opinion. I don't think that will happen again.

I will give you that Washington got away will a lot of crap in that series...Nene's blatant interference on that jump ball was an atrocious no call, but given that many of the games were decided by like 6 points or less, I can't place the entire blame on that. Frankly, if the Bulls had anyone in that series that could hit 3s other than DJ (and Dunleavy in game 3) it's probably a different series. And DJ wasn't even that good because he had Ariza draped over him the whole time. Hinrich was 2nd in 3pt percentage for the series...and most people are going to attribute it to 2 games. That was the issue moreso than whatever physical crap Washington got away with.

I'm not laying blame on anything. The Bulls were outplayed for a lot of reasons. One being imo, they just were not ready or expecting the game Wash brought to the table. However, that was last year. THIS year, we'll have Rose taking Wall out of the game. They won't have Ariza's defense, and we will sending out a front line of Pau-Noah-Taj-Niko-Bairstow. That's a huge difference, imo.

Jimmy Butler killed the Bulls that series. The Wizards did not even defend him It is very hard to play 4 on 5.

LOL.

Lebron has lost weight so he can stay quick enough to guard guards. He knows this a guard league now. Add in tha the league is pussified. Lebron made the right decision to drop the pounds. Also, do people know how good Love and Irving are going to be now with Lebron?

they didn't guard Kirk either

this is what i was saying in the other thread...teams will just sag off and worry about the real threats and make these guys beat them

thats why Jimmy has got to step up with his 3 point shot
----

hopefully come playoffs Kirk is in a hot streak with his shooting because i expect him to play minutes with Rose if they start trapping Rose at half court

so if hes out there he cant be a liability

How come you're always talking about me when I don't say a thing to you? Not to mention calling me names.

Do you think teams are gonna be able to sag off Rose, Niko, and Dougie?

no but the guys that are sagging off Jimmy will be able to help out on those guys

Hopefully come playoffs, Kirk is coming off the bench. And I don't think Jimmy needs to hit his 3 better. I'll be happy if he does, but he should get a lot less minutes and be more efficient as a scorer, hopefully.

The bottom line is I think we have some real threats. To me, Niko and Dougie are gonna be great. The great thing about playing the cavs is their weakness is at SG, imo. We should be able to try some different lineups.

I'm looking forward to Brooks and Rose playing together. I really think Jimmy and Dougie could be a really good wing combo, myself. We'll be able to plug and play the 4 and 5 to our matchup. I think the Bulls did great.

So like,with Lebron getting skinnier and wearing 23,we're gonna see the younger version of himself, except he's older.

I hear what you're saying, but we were asking Jimmy to do too much last year. I do believe he will get better cuz of this. I'm not so sure we might not have other options at the end of a game either.

The Bulls need better 3 point shooting for sure. They were towards the bottom of the league in most outside shooting stats.

Fact is, when you don't have great shooters and your number one source of offense/star/shot creator is gone, you're kinda fucked offensively.

With Rose back, and hopefully some improved outside shooting,we should certainly see the Bull's offense improve.

I think this helps the Bulls, myself. I lighter LJ will help Jimmy when he's checking him, imo.

Kirk will be coming off the bench...what im saying is i expect Kirk to play minutes with Rose as the 2nd ball handler

and its essential Jimmy hits the 3 better i dont know why you think its aokay he shoots 28%....today's NBA is all about floor spacing

i think Brooks/Rose will be a rare combo but i could be wrong on that

It might hurt a little IRT to post ups, but chances are he can still back down someone like Jimmy. The idea behind his weight loss, from what I've read, is basically to enhance overall performance and utilization of muscle mass by following a diet that allows the body to use fat as a primary energy source.

He's not really going to get a ton weaker, and he's probably going to be a bit quicker,more agile,etc. I don't think this helps the Bulls.
