Maybe...but I give the bulls no chance in a game seven against lebron on the road. Looks like rose might have a sprained wrist too...

I think Peak LeBron is already in our memories. He's still the best player, but Anthony Davis is coming on quickly. My guess is that by the end of next season they will be co-equals and by the season after that Davis will be best...but it always takes at least an extra year or two for the new "best" guy to officially be given that mantle. Being in the West on a non-great team will hurt the perception of Davis much more than it should.


Also...Kevin Durant... :cry:

Man, we are really being robbed if we don't get another LeBron-KD NBA Finals. And at this point, I don't see that happening.

Verb, who is the more annoying player: Harden or LeBron? I know as a Bulls fan obviously your hate for LeBron is understandably much stronger, so all of his annoying habits really bother you, but man everything about Harden's game annoys me. This is probably a dumb question. Just curious.

So is Thibadeaux really going to go coach Anthony Davis after this season or is that just nonsense?

Hardens game is so centered on flopping and free throws that he is pretty nauseating but I dont think he has shown the ability to completely take over a playoff series and thus is not a threat to crush my soul and single handedly block my teams championship window.

All the narcissistic stuff lebron does on and off the court isnt really there with harden either. To give it context, I think im more annoyed by someone like Chris Paul.

Hes gone. I think he prefers new orleans but the magic are an option too. At this point I just hope the bulls get a draft pick for him.

One can hope. I'm worried for the long term future of the Pelicans outside of Davis. They traded too many first round picks in the past few years. They have a lot of bigger contracts on their books as well.

I am in agreement as well. Paul and Doc Rivers together can really be insufferable at times.

Good game tonight. Kyle Korver is absolutely awful but Wall, Horford, Schroder, and Teague are putting on a good show.

Having watched all these games and seen a lot of really ugly basketball. It's nice seeing Wall and Teague play well.
