WOW BYNUM Dunked and it wasn't a lob, putback or fast break. Welcome to being a giant center.

I could argue that CJ Watson is just as good - or better - than anyone LeBron ever started with in Cleveland.

You could, but that wouldn't make it true.

I remember when Kobe's game did his talking. His mouth has been working nonstop in the 4th quarter of these last couple games.

Lin:

Eh, don't really mind, the Heat play probably the best team defense in the league, I was just saying earlier the Heat weren't going to throw as good of an individual defender. And I think I'm right, I think we can safely say Shawn Marion is a better individual defender than Chalmers, but the Heat threw a lot of doubles and defended the pick and roll really well which Dallas, and basically every other team hasn't been able to do for him, gotta give the Heat a lot of credit.

Spoiler since it's off topic.

Don't get me wrong, Mo Williams and Ilgauskas were decent at that time, and I guess Antawn Jamison was ok then.

But the players on the Bulls roster are actually talented enough to start for a lot of teams. Remember, there was a point in time where Sasha Pavlovic was starting. Yes, that scrub on the Celtics bench started alongside LeBron. Mo Williams is no better than CJ Watson, IMO. Pretty much every starter and key bench player would have been an upgrade on LeBron's Cavs.

Are people really trying to compare this current Bulls team to Lebron's Cavs?

[Sam Marlowe]

Re: NBA Game Discussion Thread Feb 20th - Feb 23rd 2012

There wasnt a single player in that Cavs starting 5 (sans LBJ obviously) that wouldnt come off the bench on a really good team.

Anyone catch that wicked inbound bounce pass by LeBron to Mario Chamlers for the layup last night?

Jeremy Lin is gonna have 10 points in the first quarter. Kid steps up BIG in big matchups, why would the Heat be any different?

BAH GAWD AN INCORRECT PREDICTION. I think I also stated in those other posts that I thought the Heat were going to play him a lot differently than they ended up playing him. I didn't think he was going to be the focus with Melo back in the lineup and I was wrong. Sorry?

Still waiting for this Linsanity level Heat hype that was supposed to come from them beating Lin.

*Turns to ESPN*

Nope, no Heat tab on the ticker yet. First take talking about Dwight not Heat. CNN not talking about a Heat-wave. Nope. No Heat overload at this moment.

Re: NBA Game Discussion Thread Feb 20th - Feb 23rd 2012

My advice for Lin would be to just keep driving right regardless, if they trap you or hedge aggressively just run into the defenders body and draw the contact

Guess we can say the All-Star Break came at just the right time.

Hey, I'm just quoting what YOU said AFTER that tweet came out about the Heat saying they weren't going to let him score more than 10 pts.

You can get away with that in the NBA and still be considered good?
