They should never have signed Joe to a max deal, he is nowhere near good enough for that kind of coin. No wonder the other players are pissed.

Chicago dodged a bullet though as I'm pretty sure D Rose handpicked Joe Johnson as a trade target.

He would be quite handy for the Bulls surely?

His nickname is iso-Joe... he holds on to the ball too long so not sure if he would suit our game, especially when the ball is in Rose's hands most of the time. He would have wanted too much cash as well, even though there is no way we would give up that much money for him. If he took a back seat role then he could have been ok.

Wiz and Clips going to OT. Clippers were paying 1.05 today, you are insane if you took that.

Denver just beat the Spurs in a 3pt thriller too, the Nugs are an awesome team post-Melo. They will cause headaches in the playoffs.

He done well to get a Gilbert contract, who two years later is playing off the Magic bench lol

Wizards are 1 and 31 on the road though !

Orlando were impressive today VS the Knicks. Denver will be very happy with how the trade worked out for them, the Knicks however are now under .500 and something like 7 and 12 since the trade i think from memory !

I wrote this before the Nuggets beat the Spurs today !!


Also Blake had his first triple double today with 33,17 and 10 assists !

Anyone want confirmation Kevin Love doesn't help Minnesota win much, just gets great stats? He's out for this game and with 2:38 left in the game the Wolves are down by 2 against the Mavs!

Yes he goes out of his way to get rebounds sometimes, they ended up losing by 8 in the end but going by stats you would think losing his 15-20 boards would see the Wolves get smashed.

New Orleans and Utah locked away at 91 apiece in the last quarter.

Yeah, usually losing a 20/20 guy means against the best sides you'll get smacked.

They just lost their way in those last few minutes and Dallas stood up, made their shots and finished off. Probably just poise and experience separated the two.

The other game does look interesting. 101-101 under a minute in regulation. 3OT anyone?

[Grahaml]

Millsap's had a very nice game for the Jazz. 30-11-4 13/18 FG 4/4 FT, 1 TO and 3 BLK. In everything.

Utah take the lead, Hornets chance for a 2 for 1 play with a quick shot, 31 seconds left.

[RoosterMarty]

Okafor sinks a shot at the buzzer and another game goes to OT.

I am watching NCAA so didn't see it but New Orleans didn't have a timeout so a full court pass by Gray was court by Okafor who then banked it home.

Atlanta are pretty rubbish, not hugely surprised about the blowout.

Good call on that Boozer play though, he has assisted a lot of Rose 3s this season like that. We need him to stay fit for the playoffs as he will be crucial to our chances.

Lakers vs Suns up next, should be a comfortable win to LA. Bynum is out but Odom is a quality replacement.

Still have question marks on Boozer when his Defending comes in. Especially against the Celtics if healthy, he has no where to hide then and Noah cant do it all. Remember he done this with D Will at Utah as well and they fell short every time, His defense continually being labeled as one of the major flaws.

And if its the Finals Vs the Lakers you have the issue of there 3 7 footers. not trying to be a kill joy, but this Bulls team does have flaws no matter how well there playing

Would love to see a Lakers v Celtics finals again

Bogut and Jennings dominating the Knicks in the ESPN game today, Bucks up 58-51 at the half.

Tough game for the Bulls at home to a very good Grizzlies side, they beat Boston in Boston the other day. The Celtics will beat Charlotte easily today so we need to get a win.

[RoosterMarty]

Amazing win by the Bobcats.

30-15 in the 4th!

Bulls MUST win this game now to go 2 games clear, we have been unable to put Memphis away though. Haven't had a close game for a while.

Rose 4-18. Not good.

[CK]

GSW beat Toronto 138-100, after the teams had a 81 point first term, and a 142 point first half.

[brod]

Spurs starting front court

C - McDyess
PF - Splitter
SF - Jefferson

[no_remorse28]

Knicks go down again, this time to the bobcats. Safe to say the Knicks wouldnt of expected to be 3 games under .500 going into the playoffs, not long to turn it around !!

The Bucks are up 48-44 over the Bulls at the Half

[RoosterMarty]

Knicks lose yet again, laughable really!

Bucks on top of the Bulls, 8-1 in the 3rd so far. Boozer needs to lift.

He must of heard you Marty! Level in 4th

Rose has a career high 16 assists to go with 26 points. Much better game than yesterday.

Bulls by 2 now. 1:53 to go.

Rose going off, up by 6.

Bulls win by 8, great steal by Brewer.

Very impressive comeback by the Bulls.

Rose is a dead set champion! come form behind victory! ends up with 30 pts and dished out 17 assist. If this man doesnt win MVP then its a joke!

Most Importantly 3 games ahead of Boston!

[Grahaml]

Boston blew away the Wolves in the first quarter, but the margin has been steadily declining since the first quarter. 2 minutes to go and Boston lead bu just 4. 1/4 time score was 32 to 13!

Again, no Kevin Love for Minnesota, and they're competetive. They seem to be a better team without him, so I wonder whether they might look to work some trades in the offseason.

Miami won today, if Boston lose they will drop below the Heat.

So Grahaml, seeing as the Bulls are in prime position for the number 1 seed, what do you make of them? especially after you laughed at my call that they will be number one in the East earlier in the year?
