who is better? to me, i think its obvious that okc is better. if you shut down rose(which is near impossible though), then they have no star who could put up 30. For okc, if you shut down durant, you have westbrook who is capable of puttin up 30, and vice versa.
thunder also have harden who can create for himself and others. the bulls are nothing but lebrons cavs... one superstar and great defense. look how pathetic the team looks when d.rose is out of the lineup. great regular season team but will probably struggle against other good teams in the playoffs.
Chicago has been missing their second and third best guards in Rip Hamilton and C.J. Watson so I would reserve the judgement until we see their full squad. I do tend to agree that OKC has more talent. Harden is probably the best bench player in the NBA.
Of course Lebron is exceptionally better than Rose. Not to discredit Rise but Bron is simply the best.
And...? Rip is way passed his prime, although hes still an upgrade on offense over bogans, and watson is a pretty good back up pg.
bulls aren't getting passed miami unless they trade boozer, noah, and a few other pieces for howard. and then they can finally start/develop taj gibson
I think the Bulls will be in the finals. They made it to the ECF last year, they're even better this year. Rose and LeBron are different. OKC is more talented though.
lebron is better than rose. again, you will see the heat in the finals this year, and probably for the next few years after that as well.
LeBron is better... but he's also a different player. And no.. the Bulls will be in the finals this year. At least that's what I think.
WTF Rose playoffs failure because his teammates suck? Deng and Boozer are border all-star. Brewer and Noah are decent players. Watson and Asik are serviceable players. In short, Bulls are one solid team not one man team. Rose failed to lift his team not his team failed him last season.
Thunder. Thanks to Durant. Plus Bulls will have to beat the Heat to get to the Finals. Thunder have an easier path and 80% of winning the Finals is getting there.
The Thunder The Bulls have had an easy schedule so far. As the season wears on and the Bulls start to lose, the difference will be obvious. Rose has no help and one man cant do it in this league.
