I know, you just decide to mention it every time you watch the Bulls as if you are shocked it hasn't changed.

And to be fair, he really has no option now with Noah unless we decide to go with Boozer as our only big man for stretches. It's not his fault GarPax thought Nazr and VladRad were actual big men. I don't think Thibs can honestly bring himself to throw in the towel and send those guys in.

That said, I would have been all for tank city coming into the season with those guys playing decent minutes and Luol sitting out. Sure would be more enjoyable than giving up on the season 2/3 through.

I meant Deng, not Noah. Deng got wrecked with 1 minute left in a game they had in hand.

Well, ya he pretty much has turned Deng's body into that of a 50 year old.

Who is probably going to end up the better pro Bradley Beal or Dion Waiters? Haven't seen either play 2 much except Waiters recently.

It is looking like Dion Waiters at the moment.

I never really got the appeal for Beal (rhyme on purpose) while he was at Florida.

#13 on the way tonite for Heat!

Their numbers for the past month or so are eerily similar.

him breaking kobe's ankle was better imo

Brodeur · 03-01-2013, 05:55 PM

If only he wasn't still recovering from a torn ACL.......and he got to play with a healthy Kevin Love, a healthy Pek, a healthy AK-47 and a healthy Budinger. When did Minnesota turn into Portland?

fenikz · 03-01-2013, 05:58 PM

sucks that the Suns get their 1st next year

Norris Cole is a beast of an on-ball defender.

You see why Riley drafted him.

pierce2walker · 03-01-2013, 08:06 PM

WOW Avery Bradley is shutting Curry down, but is absolutely getting the shaft by the refs. Apparently Curry is now untouchable after his last performance. It is honestly embarrassing.

SeanTaylorRIP · 03-01-2013, 08:43 PM

Bradley Beal since John Wall came back:

vs Milwaukee: 28 points/4 rebounds/2 assists/2 steals
vs Detroit: 10 points/3 assists
vs Toronto: 25 points/4 rebounds
vs Denver: 17 points/12 rebounds/4 assists
vs Houston: 25 points/4 rebounds/3 assists/2 steals
vs Toronto: 20 points/6 rebounds/2 assists
vs Detroit: 16 points/6 rebounds/3 steals
vs New York : 29 points/11 rebounds/3 assists

Beal has been such a stud since Wall returned, they have such great chemistry already and complement each other so well. Beal has had such a sweet stroke since Wall came back, but what impresses me most about Beal is how he plays within the system and never forces shots, plus his rebounding and defense are at least solid. He's also tough as nails, he's had 3 or 4 horrific falls this year and got up and kept playing. Even with the tough start to the season he's averaging over 14 ppg as a rookie, I think he's easily an 18-22 ppg scorer next year.

Ravens1991 · 03-01-2013, 08:46 PM

I was just about to post about how much of a beast Beal has been playing this year. Remember Beal was on track to be one of the 5 worst 3 point shooters of all time before Wall came back. He really is the perfect match for Wall. He isnt just a shooter he plays D and is well rounded on offense. Now if Wall could just hit a jumper and hold onto the ball.

But after games like this it is making me wonder about us taking Shabazz. He may mess up the flow of the offense. I am really hoping we get Otto Porter he is the perfect match to fit in.
