Typical Heat fan.

Where?

 

[FirstTimer]

I think its a foregone conclusion that Miami wins the NBA title, don't you?

I wonder why they would even bother to play next season.

Playoff predictions:

Heat beat 76ers 4-0
Pacers Beat Bulls 4-0
Celtics beat Magic 4-2
Knicks Beat Hawks 4-3

Heat Beat Knicks 4-0
Pacers Bear Celtics 4-3

Heat beat Pacers 4-0

Heat win title when Western Conference forfeits because of fear of Lebron teabagging Western Conference Champions

I don't think the Celtics will be that good. I think Garnett and Allen will be gone.

celtics are not gonna be that high if they make the playoffs they'll be 7-8 seed...magic is not making the playoffs if they move howard this offseason

i agree chicago will be 6-8 seed

i wouldnt mind keepin rose out all year and tanking

Who said Orlando is moving Dwight this offseason?

 

[Axl Rose]

im not sayin they will

but there was this

#Magic CEO Martins told me on camera w @BHSN that #dwighthoward needs to sign long term extension or "necessary decisions will be made."

so im assuming that means if he dont sign a extension hes gettin traded....probably in the offseason so they dont have to go through another year like this one

The Bulls this year without Rose and with other injures had a 0.666 record.
That means they would be the 2nd seed in the east without Rose.

Let's say that Indiana will keep it's upgrading process next year so we will be the #3 seed.

Let's say that Howard chooses an Eastern conference team. Then the Bulls will be the #4 seed.

Let's say that the Knicks will make some adjustments and sign Phill Jackson. Then the Bulls will be the #5 seed.

That's all folks.

The Bulls will be 2-5 next year. It all depends on how the rest of the teams will be next year. So i believe the best case scenario is #2, the worst case scenario is #5

 

[rc_roadster]

As is, I can see the bulls around the 4 or 5 seed.

predicting nect seasons playoffs is nothing short of idiotic.

Ι would love to read your opinion. Philly is worse than the Roseless Bulls, the Celtics are worse than the Roseless Bulls and next year they will lose Garnett and Allen, the Hawks are worse than the Roseless Bulls and they may lose many players next year. The pacers,the knicks and the Magic(with Howard) are slightly worse than the Roseless Bulls and all of them need some adjustments to beat them. So tell me why you disagree.

Philly is still in the playoffs, the Roseless Bulls are not. The Pacers are not slightly worse than the Bulls without Rose...hello...5th best record in the league!!! I just don't understand where you get this faulty analysis from...it doesn't make sense.

 

[DCguy]

If the Celtics stay as is for the most part as it pertains to their roster and the same with the Magic, the East standings probably would look like that.

Yes. The Pacers still have a worse record that the Roseless Bulls. 5th record in the league is so overrated BECAUSE we are talking about an Eastern conference team. There is no doubt that the Eastern conference were 2 teams this year. The Bulls and the Heat. I am not saying that the Pacers are not a good team. BUT definitely they are not a team we can't beat without Rose. Ask some Pacers fans to tell you the same because your dislike for the current Bulls keep you away from seeing the reality. They had a 14-19 record against playoff teams this year. 14 W. 19 L. And some of their wins were against the Celtics when the Celtics couldn't win a game to save their life.

BUT I don't say we will finish the season with a better record than the Pacers. I said the best case scenario is to finish there. If the other teams won't be better than this year and the bulls play in the same level they did this year then we will end up #2. I doubt that this is going to happen. Most likely the Pacers will be better next year. But no matter how good our opponent will be next year I DON'T see the bulls below #5 seed next year.

But seriously now. Do you believe that the Bulls without Rose are worse than the 6ers? Cause if you do then you can consider yourself as a Bulls hater. I don't believe that there is a single 6ers fan who share this opinion.

This is me assuming that Dwight Howard gets traded to a Western Conference team (Mavs or Lakers), Rose and Deng are out for half the season, and the Celtics lose Garnett and Allen.

1. Heat
2. Pacers
3. Bulls
4. Atlanta
5. Boston
6. Philidelphia
7. Orlando
8. Milwaukee

Sleeper status is Cleveland if they land a solid shooting guard in the draft (Beal?) they could sniff 35ish wins and fight for that #8 seed. I really like the young core they're building.

Lol at them being the number two seed. I guess I just don't see what you Bulls homers do. I love this team till death, but second seed without Rose, and Deng possibly missing some time after surgery? You've got to be kidding me.
