I wouldn't even mind if the Bulls stayed here in this sixth seed for the rest of the year. You get the Knicks in the first round and avoid a matchup with the Heat until at least the Eastern Conference Finals. If everybody is back (including Derrick) in that scenario, that's not a bad road to be on. Knicks, Celtics/Pacers, Heat/Nets/Hawks (obviously Heat though).

Ehh, it was more Battier than anyone. Bosh and Andersen were only on him a limited number of times.

But where Jeff Green needs to be assertive and what Boston took advantage of last night, was transition opportunities and running anytime they could.

While they have improved in the half court, when Bradley, Lee and Green are in the game, they really need to get out and run.

Battier picked him up too. But for the most part Jeff Green scored most of his points when he got covered by either Bosh/Haslem/Anderson. Just watch the highlights. But I do agree with you that they got a lot of points in transition.

What's the word on Derrick anyway? He needs to get out there and test that knee already. I hope he doesn't start during the playoffs. He'll need a little more time than for playoff basketball.

Same ole same ole. He says he's waiting for when he feels normal and to a certain degree I'm with him. However he's not going to get to the point of feeling normal until he get's out there and tests the knee in an actual game situation. He says there's nothing he can't do on the court now, it's all mental.

So he is like day to day now?

Yeah, he's been day to day for at least a week or so now. Once he was medically cleared to play (which was like two Fridays ago) that made him day to day. Whenever he says ok, he'll be playing.

Re: 3/12 - 3/18 Games Discussion Thread

Yea that's what I mean. So we have no timetable when he might feel comfortable in his head. I agree he should take his time. But I also believe you need to build that confidence in the game. You can practice all you want. You'l never feel as good as score vs a team in a real game.

I just watched the Thib go crazy lol. I kind leaning toward the refs on this play. Both plays are goaltending. They just didn't call it on the first one. So they couldn't go back and review it. It sucks that they missed the first one. But you got to play on in my opinion. That's basically how I feel about most missed calls. I think as a player you need to move on very quickly and stay focus at what is at hand. The NBA won't go back and change it.

Edit: Now that I've seen the Denver tip in. It looks like the ball is coming out. Compared to Noah ball it's a shot that's going to hit the rim.

Re: 3/12 - 3/18 Games Discussion Thread

Shame on you. Dude did good work for you for a long, long time SF lol.

Maybe its because I always knew deep down that if he was on another team his antics would be annoying as ****. I always understood where fans of other teams were coming from complaining about the stuff he pulled.

Obviously if he was in a Mavs jersey I wouldn't feel the same way, and I'm not saying he didn't do good things for us, he's one of the greatest Mavs of all time really and I'll never forget what he did in the 2011 Finals, but he's still a bit of a douche on the court

[The 24th Letter]

Mike Finley is a perfect example of that for both our squads, lol

Re: 3/12 - 3/18 Games Discussion Thread

In other words SF, you were being a homer, lol.

Nothing wrong with that...we've all done that at times.

Re: 3/12 - 3/18 Games Discussion Thread

6ers will re-sign that bum Bynum. Philly fans might as well get advice from Portland fans now.

[ProfessaPackMan]

Re: 3/12 - 3/18 Games Discussion Thread

It'd be funny as **** if Boston signed Bynum in the Offseason and his knees would magically no longer be much of an issue as they are now.

Also, would be a helluva steal for them especially if they got him on the cheap, since no one is going to pay him nowhere near max money at this point.

Yeah, I've wondered what I would think if Matt Barnes became a Mav...

Re: 3/12 - 3/18 Games Discussion Thread

What's wrong with Terry though? I don't see it.

Edit: Lol just typed Jason Terry is a douche on google and it's kind of funny. Didn't realise people hated him like that.

[Jukeman]

I know that Orlando is looking smart as of now. Harkless is coming along and Nik has been great this year for Orlando.

Those Houston rookies that were offered? Lol

Bynum?

Im not really upset about Bynum or the Sixers (they better not resign him to a large contract!) because it was a high risk high reward situation.

If we let him walk then we'll have about 14 mil in cap room and that is something we haven't had in lord know how long smh.

But in hind sight, we could had keep Iggy then let him walk and still had some cap room along with Nik and Moe on the roster.
