Worked for Chicago well enough in the 90s. Unless you think Longley and Rodman were putting up lots of points.

Playoffs actually seem to suit those teams that have fewer options for some reason. Not sure how often we've seen the side with the most dominant player lose a series anyway.


Rodman won the Bulls many games in the playoffs, just ask Geroge Karl. MAybe i should send you the Bulls dynasty dvd.

No bench hey, remember Toni Kukoc, only won 6th man of the year played off the bench


Don't worry I watched all those playoff games. Show me where I said Rodman didn't contribute, or where I said they had no bench. Kukoc is the third after Jordan and Pippen. Not too many blokes were offensive threats in that team. They all had a different role to play, and not all had the job or scoring. So your comment about needing more than 3 blokes who score is just wrong. Championships are littered with teams that had a couple of standout offensive players and a bunch of people who had roles other than scoring and did those well.

Now if you'd made a comment along the lines of the players outside the 3 stronger players weren't contributing as much as they'd need to in a playoff series, I'd agree with you. But history has shown year after year that 3 blokes (sometimes even just 2) who are real big offensive threats can carry a side to a series in the playoffs, but they need the rest of the side to be playing their roles well.


I would agree, the Heats bench are not contributing but doesnt mean they are not good enough, Miller, Bibby, Jones, House all capable of big games, just need to get there system playing well together.

If i had to pick a favorite for it all at this stage though the Bulls are playing out of this world considering what Rose is doing, But how do you go past the Spurs, a team of know real Star standouts, Just an Absolute TEAM.

Right now the bulls definitely look the best side going around. They've been very good at getting wins when they really need them too, against the best sides going around. They certainly look a far better all round team when they have Boozer and Noah to compliment Rose. But in 2 weeks time we might find it's another team that look the best. Basketball is a funn game like that, just need 1 bloke to change form (either for better or worse) to suddenly change the whole landscape of the league.

spose thats what i was getting at, just 2 weeks ago the Lakers where back to there best and then lost a couple, before that the Mavs where on Fire but cooled off. The heat had a big patch there to. Playoffs are so different, with the bulls as a reference look how hard they made it for the East best team the celtics a couple seasons ago. Its just so hard to pick even with only a few weeks of regular season to go.

Tyler Hansborough again having a good game, this is the up side of a team giving the young players big minutes, and Indiana are being rewarded not just from Tyler but most of there young guys.

35-28 Pacers over bulls but tyler has 15 and 5 already. This is what you want to see from a college player of the year who was written off from ever being a good pro.

I'd accept that comment but the Bulls have been the most consistant side all year. May have had a 3 game losing streak but I'm not so sure. They have been knocking off the best teams all year. To be the best u have to beat the best. We will find out in 4 weeks.

just read today that IF he wins, rose will be the youngest MVP ever. Hw would also be the only player ever to win it who would still qualify to be in a college system, (he would of been a senior this year) and also the first player in 40 years to win it without ever receiving a vote in previous years. Quite a season, people said he would be good, and the bulls would be up there, but like the Thunder I think they have progressed out of this world to an elite team. Rose is special, glad he won that Beasly debate in the draft, If only Portland had taken Durantula lol

Amazing effort if he pulls it off, dont see to many old school records like that being broken these days. To think Lebron was the most hyped player this millenium and Rose with a year of college under his belt to, will still get there faster. And lets hope using the Durant formula that he is only going to get better !

I don't think the Bulls have had a single 3 game losing streak all year.

Our 8 game winning streak is in big danger though, 14 down at half time to the Pacers. Thibs will tear shreds off them for their terrible defensive performance.

They beat the Knicks twice in a row but Boston handled them comfortably. We should be doing the same but we seem tired at the moment, but if any team can come back from this it is Chicago. We need the win today as Houston are a chance to knock Boston off.

He missed a FT, took a crap shot... but still draws a foul with time expiring and hits all 3 clutch FT. Then rejects Granger to send it to OT.

He had 19 pts when he came into the 4th with 8:11 to go and ends with 38. God.

I'm interested to hear what you guys think are chicagos deficiencies instead of harping on how good you are ? As a Miami man I think what has been said is pretty spot on. As good as wade and lebron are they won't get the job done on there own. And I'm not much of a fan of bosh at all.

I have always posted when we have lost, a mate came around just as OT started today. I am disappointed that we took it to OT but then lost easily, at least Boston lost as well so it didn't turn out too bad in the end.

Our biggest weakness is probably our offence, sometimes we struggled to score but our awesome defence helps us usually. Would have been nice to upgrade the SG position as well, a decent SG with Brewer off the bench would be much better than starting Bogans.
