sorry Al im already running 2 NBA fantasy league teams and my procrastination time is taken up.

In other news back from a mini holiday to find out Wizards have traded away JaVale and Nick Young... pretty devastated.

You're upset JaVale is gone?

HH · 19-03-2012, 15:42

JaVale is dumb...but he's still got potential. George Karl is the best guy to help him realize that potential.

***Joel*** · 19-03-2012, 18:48

HH, do you think Phoenix will make 8th seed?

I can't believe they are over .500 now. But they are formidable at home, tbf.

yeah, hes got a low ball IQ and lots of maturity issues but he was sort of a cult favourite and perennial shot blocker. Hopefully under Karl he can straighten out because hes got big upside potential.

Derek Fisher and Houston has agreed for a buyout and hell most likely sign with a contender, im beginning to think the Thunder as an option as coming off for Westbrook as a game manager would be ideal

Nene was clearly being overpaid and the cap space meant they could resign Wilson Chandler so good move imo. The Clippers also did well to get Nick Young, exactly what they need with Billups out.

***Joel*** · 20-03-2012, 00:38

How do you feel about Thunder when they are chasing a game in the clutch, Top Gun?

Top Gun · 20-03-2012, 00:46

Westbrook needs to take fewer shots, enough said. Brooks needs to have a word, Westbrook needs to check his ego and KD needs to find his inner Kobe and start dominating 4th quarters and demanding the ball.

Hey nice thread homie.. I'll be postin here whenever I get something..

Look at tonight's game and tell me that he's garbage. You can't get that kind of production from a C-PF combo anywhere else because it took Booz 1 year to mould that with Noah, which is why he looked 'bad' last season. He played around 50 games last season but has started every damn game this season. Their defense tonight was outstanding and the Noah-Booz-Deng frontcourt is the main reason for this the entire season. Best part is, I know he's still banged up, this guy is never 100% yet he brings it every night even if it does not show statistically.

He fits right into the Bulls philosophy which isnt to get one player a bunch of points, rebounds or assists; its a team effort and Boozer learnt that in Chicago and in Utah under Jerry Sloan.

As for my Suns, I hope we do because everybody who has contributed to this decent recent run deserves to give it one more push, I think Nash will leave in the off-season so an epic playoff run would be the perfect way to end his career in Phoenix.

By the way, people said Michael Redd would probably never play at the highest level again, once again our famous training staff worked their miracles to rebuild him. They have added years to Steve Nash, Grant Hill, Shaq and Amar'e after microfracture surgeries. Brandon Roy, Yao Ming...holla at us

Taj is better than Boozer. I hope we amnesty Boozer's useless shouting for no reason ass cause he earns way more than he should.

***Joel*** · 20-03-2012, 19:32

HH, you can't be seriously trying to compliment Boozer's defence? It's not existent! That's one thing he doesn't offer at all. Players waltz past his lazy ass, because he doesn't move his feet at all.

He has a brilliant mid range shot and his vision is a lot better than last year, so he can bring a lot to the offensive table, but he's inconsistent as hell. This isn't good, because if he's not knocking down his shots, then Rose is going to get double and triple teamed.

He was brilliant against Magic last night, no doubt. But I've watched almost every Chicago game this season and as I said, he's inconsistent as hell.

Good to see the team can work without Rose though. Wins against Miami and at Orlando is encouraging. Just hope Rose and Rip can get back 10-15 games before the end, to try to build chemistry with the team.

Top Gun · 20-03-2012, 23:19

Feel so bad for Chris Mullins, the Golden State fans are morons.

Top Gun · 21-03-2012, 23:39

Derek Fisher!

Awesome piece of business imo, i'm positive he can have a good effect on Russ and is exactly the sort of veteran we need if we're going to try and go deep and win a championship. Another masterstroke from Sam Presti who has done an unbelievable job since he started.

So you guys really would swap Booz for Taj Gibson in the lineup? Right.

I didn't compliment Boozer's defence, I complimented the team effort on defence that Boozer has helped build now that he's built a proper relationship with Noah.

Look, I like Taj Gibson too, he brings more energy and is more athletic and would probably defend his man better than Boozer would but will never be able to score 17 a game, both a great rebounders; Gibson on the offensive end and Boozer generally on both ends.

Joel, you want that 7th championship for the Bulls. That will not happen if you play Gibson in the playoffs, but right now, he's the perfect sixth man.

If the playoffs started now, New York would face the Bulls and that should be comfortable for you guys.

Miami going up against the almighty Boston Celtics. I'm saying this now, the Celtics behind an angry Rajon Rondo could upset those punks down in south beach and blow the playoffs wide open. Until Ray, Pierce and KG retire people will always talk about how old they are, whatever, they can do it.

As long as the Bulls keep top spot, Miami will have the tough route back to the Finals and I hope it stays that way.
