wow. I think this team is going to be good for a very long time. They have their "guy" in Rose. Boozer, Deng, and Noah What is their weakness? to get better on?
Courtney Lee would have made them a champion, imo. They need a tough guard that can shoot the lights out from 3. A prime Raja Bell, for example.
Their two-spot is very weak. They're missing an explosive sixth-man as well. Definitely contenders either way. I'm skeptical about them beating the Celtics however... and I hate the Celtics.
Join the club guys. I said early in the season they had a chance to contend and would hit their stride late in the season.
The team plays great and all, but the championship piece is Tom Thibodeaux. Really happy for him. Would've been awesome if he stayed in Houston after JVG had to go.
I believe that JVG recommended Thibs as his replacement. The Rockets decided to go another direction.
thibs would've been an amazing choice. He gets the best out of them defensively and offensively the bulls are pretty good also.
I think Thibs benefited a lot in Boston and wouldn't have be as good a head coach if he hadn't got away from JVG.
He probably learned how to run his offense from Doc there while keeping his defensive roots with JVG.
Courtney Lee would have been perfect for them..They should have been thinking about right now instead of Asik's potential down the road.....I think they get to the 2nd round and LOSE TO THE HEAT!!!
especially if you see the way they try to get korver open, it is very similar to the way they get allen open. Although Allen can do much more than simply spot-up and shoot threes.
I think it has do with your casual fans , NBA season is way too long ..... 82 games should be shortened to fewer games. Plus , people have a tendency to watch national TV games because the matchups are "sexier" than your "average" monday/tuesday games.
