Like I said in the IGT, trade for Crawford. Say what you want about him dribbling out the clock and chucking one up, he's a scorer and we need one.

Wondering whether or not Hamilton will ever be healthy is STILL a better option than Ben "black-hole with the basketball, undersized" Gordon or J.R. "Chuck-master" Smith.

Or not ever playing defense? That is also a bad option. Dwyane Wade would light his ass up.

The Bulls are stuck between a rock and a hard place with Rip missing even MORE time. I know certain Heat fans are loving this right about now.

What the Bulls need to think about doing (if Hamilton ever returns) is making Ronnie Brewer the full-time starter and bringing in Richard Hamilton in when he or Luol Deng needs a rest. They need to limit Rip's minutes but they also need him on the floor to end games against Miami in the post-season along with Rose, Deng, Noah, and Gibson.

The Heat went 0-2 without Bosh...I think that is very telling. Bosh is the one that killed us in the eastern conference championship last year...I would focus less on adding someone that can score, but adding someone that can lock down Wade. If we can make the big 3, the big 2 and a half we have a shot of beating them. If you watch the games from the last postseason...we were not as far from beating them as most think by looking at only the 4-1 series result.

Dude didn't even play 2 minutes last night, so I don't know what limiting his minutes will do at this point.

Heat fans aren't afraid of us anyway. But they are probably laughing their butts off.

That's not a fair statement. Freak injuries can happen 2 minutes or 40 minutes into the game. Technically the only way to limit a players chance of getting injured is to not play him at all.

They're so arrogant they get water in their nose when it rains. They're definitely not afraid of us or anyone. They should be wary of OKC.

Why didn't the Bulls sign Crawford to begin with :shrug:

Both he and Rip make the same amount of money.

Crawford is one of the most overrated players in the NBA. He sucks on defense and plays like a ball-hogging PG on offense.

If Crawford is one of the most, than Rip is certainly the most overrated player by the Bulls organization.

I have a hard time believing Crawford would have been a ballhog here under Thibodeau.

I think Crawford and Brewer would have been a perfect tandem for the 2 guard spot.
