Thibodeau is notorious for running players into the ground. Luol Deng couldn't jump over a phone book, but he was playing 42 minutes consistently.
Chicago's medical staff is also shoddy, that's why Roses' brothers intervene, and Derrick has to bitch out because psychologically; he's destroyed. That's what his problem is. He's scared to use his body again. He can never fully trust it again, and that will make a jump shot shaky forever.
Noah supposedly has some problem in his knee that wasn't going to be fully healed up this season, add that to Thibodeau, whipping his horses and Chicago has fucking problems.
Idk guys, I really believe nobody is going to stop playoff Kyrie Irving, and that's the biggest problem none of these EAST teams are accurately anticipating.
How are you gonna stop this guy when he's got the ball on a string, and he can splash a 3 at any time, from anywhere, catch and shoot, off the dribble, step back, fade away, mid-range, left hand, right hand, spins off the glass. He's getting to a point where he simply can't be contained, and in an excited atmosphere, he's going to become a god in Cleveland.
Ky held it down while we were stranded with a fucking nuclear wasteland basketball team. To have both Kyrie AND LeBron entering this next playoff series...... go back to the times of marching into the playoffs with Eric Snow and Damon Jones as our team's PG's.
Since Atlanta and Memphis are hot, I think Jeff Teague is exactly like Mike Conley; perfect guy for that particular job, their teams are rolling, so should we give them the nod? Nah, boring, great players, truly solid ass players I'd take on my team.
None of them are Kyrie Irving. What Rose used to do was fantastic, he was a fucking supercharged dragster. Is jumping 40 inches really the best way to get buckets?
When longevity comes into the picture, I'm taking Kyrie's game 100/100 times.
What was I talking about, oh yeah fuck Chicago.
Timofey Mozgov is going to make Pau Gasol toss his salad with salsa, hot fucking picante. Moz loves to defend Gasol. Kinda like when DeAndre used to light up when he'd see Zeller waiting to defend our basket.

Great post. I know I argued that Kyrie is not better than Allen Iverson in the KI Thread; but, I did suggest he is getting close. Having two scorers like he and LBJ is going to be difficult for any opponent, especially in the east, to defend. Some of the West teams that are long and athletic defensively (i.e., Golden State, Memphis, San Antonio) scare me but we can worry about that later

Kyrie is a fourth-year player. Iverson is a Hall-of-Famer and one of the most dynamic guards of all-time. We shouldn't expect Kyrie to be better than him already.

Who would Orlando get in exchange for Tobias? Mirotic and Tony Snell?

Right, and statistically that is proven true. If you looked at my post in the KI that's exactly what I was getting at.

Not sure if this is good or bad. But it confirms what we all know- Bulls still have room for improvement health-wise.

Rose says he and Noah are still finding their way back from knee surgery. Dunleavy from ankle injury. Trying to catch up to Jimmy and Pau.

This was from a bulls fan...
"Pau/Taj vs Moz/Perk
Noah/Niko vs Love/Thompson
MDJ/Snell vs Lebron/Marion+Miller+Jones?
Jimmy/Kirk vs Jr/Shump
Rose/Brooks vs Kyrie/Dellasomething
Bulls in 6."
They seem to think there front 4 will beat ours. I have to disagree. The addition of perk makes a big difference. Gives us a legit back up C and body for when mozgov gets in foul trouble. We didnt have Love or Perk last time we played the bulls and Moz was in foul trouble! Playing with one big most of the game... you will probably lose

Fuck the Bulls. I knew they'd get cocky after they beat us last game. They were at home and it was one freaking time when we had already won the 3 previous matchups (that one preseason game included). We'll smoke them if we meet in the playoffs.

I don't give a sh*t about our last game against Chicago.
Our odds were pretty bad going into this game + nothing worked for us:
- Second night of a back2back
- No Love
- Mozzy in foul trouble
- Major minutes to scrubs (Jones, Marion, Miller)
Bulls wanted to win this one badly and Cavs didn't care. They were pissed they had to play one day before ASB.
In the end, I don't under- or overrate Chicago. I know they are dangerous.
Just want to end the reg season having HCA over them.
Could be key in a playoff series against Chicago.

On the Bulls board after they beat the Suns…
