Someone tell me which Bulls team will show up in Oakland.

 

Who knows. I can see Rose putting a lot of pressure on their defense though, as the Warriors wont be able to put Curry on a P Bev type guard.

 

I don't know if you were around during the Rafer Alston days, but people here debated on how to "stop" very good PGs from roasting the Rockets. Much of the discussion was on getting a better defensive PG. I always said the best way (in this case) to fight fire was with fire, not water.

Your comment illustrates the point. Both Bulls guard positions are difficult to defend. There is zero chance they put Curry on Butler. He will be at Rose's mercy.

The problem with the Rockets is Bev is just too easy to guard. Guys like Curry almost get the night off on one end of the court and can save all their energy for offense.

To contend for a championship, Rockets #1 need by a mile is a playmaking PG next to Harden. This was true even before D-Mo emerged.

 

Pau and AB should have a field day

 

Depends on worn out the Bulls get guarding Curry and Thompson.

 

Spot on

Hope Rose plays well.

 

Go Bulls and go to triple OT Grizzlies and Mavs.

 

Hopefully Grizz and Mavs is a close contested game and the starters will have to play much of the game.

 

Khris Middleton is a fun under-the-radar player

Also, Whiteside is struggling vs. Henson's length and the Buck's disruptive guards

 

Damn the Pistons are regressing hard after Jennings injury. imo they should tank hard this year and get a nice pick and come back stronger next year when Jennings is back

The Grizzle bench is beyond awful. Good grief they are terrible.

 

No Mike Conley means that Beno Udrih started and they've had to rely on Calathes (who's playing relatively well tonight)

 

Took him awhile to warm up. They are doing better, but the first few minutes they were awful.

 

True, Vince Carter deserves a shout out as well

 

Mavs are outshooting the Grizzlies, but are down 10 at the half. 14 first half turnovers will do that to a team. That's bad even by Rockets standards.

 

Mavs are shiiit
