chicago bulls

Da Bulls :woot:

Yeah baby, were in and we're going to kick some ass!

[mattmatik]

Is Luol Deng going to be healthy by playoff time?

[danniboi]

i think sometime threw the first round

[bigbluepride35]

Um you do realize they're not getting by the Heat and/or Pistons, right? :p And the Pacers aren't an easy matchup either. Bust for that team, I think making it is an accomplishment in itself. Ben Gordon is sick in the clutch. Scored double-digits in the fourth 21 times at last count I saw. Pretty darn good for a rookie. I like the kid so I'm actually rooting for them (after my Nets).

[Steffan]

:woot: congrats to the Bulls!!!

maybe its time to reveal that I'm a Bulls fan..or not..

[danniboi]

The Bulls can beat any tream in the Eastern except Miami but Miami might fall apart, wishfull thinging, i know :p Bulls are the hotest team in the NBA, so i dont know what will happen but for sure they are going to make some noise

Their not getting by the heat or pistons? I believe they beat the Heat twice already. I don't know about the Pistons.

No one knows how good the bulls are except people who watch them regularly, they are amazing.

[BroChaos Veteran]

hell yeah, man it's been a rough like 8 years or whatever....

i just hope the lakers don't get in...

[danniboi]

They remind me of the FL Marlins when they won the WS, i bunch of nobodies but 1 team with heart and trust in each other.

GO BULLS GO BULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kobe just plain ol sucks playing w/o shaq. Hope he fails the rest of his baby'ish life.

such a sad waste of a talented player that let his ego go to his head

[bigbluepride35]

Yeah I think the Lakers got eliminated two days ago.

Worst trade within the last 10 years, in ANY sport, IMO.

I agree 110% (even worst that the Babe Ruth trade)

[bigbluepride35]

(even worst that the Babe Ruth trade)

Well, let's wait until it causes an 86 year curse to make that declaration :p . Plus um I still think the Ruth trade was worse. I mean the guy was unmatched. People today can legitimately still argue that Chamberlain was a better big man tha Shaq. I'm not necessarily saying it's what I believe but I've heard the argument and its debatable. Ruth hit AND pitch extraordinarily well. And he was a fat bum and drunk. If the guy took care of himself he probably could ahve hit more than 800 HRs.

ANYway, back to topic. Like I said, after my Nets (who might not even make it) I'm pulling for Da' Bulls. In seven games against Detroit or Miami, with the other teams both having home court, that's a tall task.

Bulls are the hotest team in the NBA

585752132[/snapback]

Actually, the Nuggets are the hottest team in the NBA right now losing only twice since the All-Star break :)

[IndianPimp99]

Well, I haven't visited in a while and thought I'd update the thread a bit.

Luol is going to miss the rest of the season. He had to have surgery on a torn ligament in his wrist. Should be ready by next season's opening camp. The crazy thing about him is he's just 19 and already in the top 5 among rookies in points, rebounds, and assists. Well, I just checked and he's 6th in rebounds likely due to him not playing anymore. The even crazier thing is the Bulls got him from the Suns for this years 1st round draft pick. With the way the Bulls are playing that's obviously not going to be a lottery pick and you just know the Suns would be that much better had they kept him.

The Nuggets are the hottest team in the NBA...ever almost. No team has done as well after the All-Star break as they have (not even the '97 Bulls) but those 2 losses came agains the Suns, so come playoff time we'll see.

The thing I like most about the Bulls is they play defense. While Jordan was great and key to the '90s run, the defense of him, Pippen, Grant, and Rodman was the key since it led to easy baskets, steals, and stops. And, their average age is only like 22 or 23 if you take out the veterans that won't be around much longer.

[djsaad1]

did the spurs do it last year or at least come close? they were pretty good after the break

[IndianPimp99]

About the Spurs: they were 21-7 after the All-Star Break last year.

About the Bulls: I just posted it in the NBA thread, but they just lost Eddy Curry for the season including playoffs with an irregular heart beat. That blows.

[danniboi]

Eddy Curry is out for the year ! Even the Playoffs :cry:

[Steffan]

everything was looking up when the bulls clinched their playoff. now they have to worry about if they will have enough players to play.

[danniboi]

The Bulls just clinched Home Court advanage for the 1st round

:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

its really not a trade :/ he didn't want to be part of the team anymore.

Kobe wanted him off the team as well.
