    Tough fought game by the Bulls, but Miami made tough shots down the stretch...keyed by one Shane Battier...the "Glue"

    Are you implying that PED's take 10 minutes to take effect? LOL

    They are going to need him next series to play at a high level to get past the Pacers. Pacers are a tough squad. It isn't a lock that they'll make the finals again this year.

    I don't know how those work and how fast they kick in, but that's possible. Or he just decided to nut up and knew that if he gave them 5 good minutes, he could close the series out.

    my understanding of the clear path rule is that it isn't just the guy with the ball who counts, but if anybody is even with/ahead of the last defender then it's a clear path foul. and looking at that 2nd "flopping" gif, norris cole certainly looked even with and probably ahead of the final defender when the foul was committed.

    Looks like Chuck was right at halftime. George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg drown every time.

    Remember when Rip Hamilton was thought to be a solid/good signing?

    Ha, what a bust that was. Benched & overtaken by Rockets castoff Daequan Cook.

    Bulls still need a SG or maybe SF, depending on Butler, and possibly look into moving Deng (if Butler is your guy there).

    Gotta try and unload Deng's contract. Good thing is he's an expiring contract for the Bulls.

    Yup. Love Deng and all he has given Chicago but you have Butler there, for way less.

    And decisions on whether or not to bring back Nate(might not be up to them), Belinelli, and I believe they can buy out Hamilton. Then as mentioned, keep Deng and just let him expire or look to trade him?

    Is it just me or does anyone else think Jimmy Butler can be as good as Paul George if given the same opportunities on offense? They have VERY similar games and have almost identical builds. This was Butler's 2nd year, and George's 3rd. Last season, George was nowhere near as good as he is now... can Butler make the same leap next year?

    Except that Paul George grew to 6'10 after his rookie season.

    Bulls will be interesting next year. No longer will Rose (or his brother) can claim he has no help.

    The Bulls will be deep next year with a ton of talent. Rose, Butler, Deng, Noah, Boozer, Nate (if he resigns)...

    If Wade continues to decline next year, Bulls (along with an improving Pacers team) can definitely challenge the Heat.

    Did he really? I've never heard that he's 6'10... he's listed at 6'8 everywhere, and Butler is 6'7...
