so this is the bulls team that's supposed to be #1 seed according to Bill Simmons? they are small, and why are they holding on to Boozer?
And I have Wade, who has all but been sitting on the court in a lawn chair sipping margaritas thus far.
This! I'm thinking I should have gone with Durant, especially since my punt FT% strategy was ruined with someone taking Dwight before me.
BUT ITS THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON!! the only thing we can do is have knee jerk reactions to every little thing we see. OMG BOOZER 27PTS MVP CANDIDTATE omg lebron only 9 pts, he's getting amnestied omg rose 4-12 and 10 pts, he's getting traded omg heat havent beat the rockets yet this saeson, rockets best team
What did they say about Oden's prospects this year? Is he done already? I feel bad for him, was hoping he could make it back.
They're going to save him, I think, for games against the Hibberts and Howards and Gasols of the league. Like the commentators said, perfect situation for Oden.
They were just saying they would be patient with him and that he would only be useful for matchups. I'm hoping he could have at least one injury free season.
for those that dont know, lance stephenson logged in 19/7/5, 2 threes, over 50fg%. granger out at least 3 weeks, so yeah i just added him :grin:
I've never understood why people think Chicago can eliminate the Heat. Oh they play fantastic defense? So do the Heat. And the Heat can play offense too. Let Rose go ham the entire game and put LeBron on him in the 4th and it's game over. They are a team that'll win a lot of regular season games because opposing team's panic when the Bulls turn on the defensive clamps. They aren't a team that can beat Miami in a 7 game playoff series. I don't need any stats to tell me this. I can use my own basketball knowledge and the eye test to realise Chicago is too easily defused.
So who here said Chicago can eliminate the Heat? Sounds like you're arguing an obvious position for the sake of arguing.
Pretty weak game from Lebron. Didn't seem aggressive from the get go. Obviously he'll be much better but I'm just a frustrated fantasy owner haha
Oden doesn't have the stamina to run with LeBron, Wade, Cole, etc. Those guys thrive alongside active, high-motor bigs like Haslem and Birdman. Oden's a traditional back-to-the-basket center. He's too slow for Spo's system. He'll be a decent situational defender, but not much more.
