Game 79 | Cavaliers @ Bulls | April 8th, 2010 | 8:00 PM (EST)

Anyone like Telfair's debut? He had a solid 8 and 3 line and it seemed at times if he wanted to truly be a point guard he could be a strong asset of the bench in the next season or two.

I'm def rooting for the Raps in that matchup with the Bulls.

I just can't stand Hinrich, Noah, or Rose.

Despite Hinrich's "known" defense on shooters, it is also known he tugs on the shooter's hands and does it so quickly it goes unnoticed by the officials. He wants to hurt you.

He is only signed through next season.

Hinrich has been pulling that cheap shit ever since he played at Kansas. Its only a matter of time before some clocks the shit out of him... hell, probably why Rondo did it last year.

Chicago just gives the Cavs problems, I just don't like our matchups against them, even with LeBron in the lineup. I think our defense sucks against the Bulls to tell you the truth.

They are young, athletic and hungry.

They are a pretty good outside shooting team. (Atleast against us)

Hinrich completely outplays Parker.

Rose is getting a much better outside shot and will be consistant in the playoffs. I doubt Mo Williams goes crazy against Chicago in the playoffs like he did tonight.

I just don't like them in a first round matchup against us. I think the Cavs will take them lightly and get into trouble with them. I would expect a series similar to BOS / CHI from last year.

There aren't any matchup issues with the Bulls, it's just that the Bulls hustle and have a star PG. Contain Rose or Hinrich and then their entire offense becomes much weaker. And no one on that team can stop LeBron. Noah can't do anything against Shaq except talk trash. The Celtics series was close because the Celtics were old and didn't have KG, and Gordon was really clutch.

I don't think anyone honestly thinks LeBron is going to let Chicago get in the way of his first title.

We're better off trading him while his trade value is at its highest. We should use these last few games to showcase The Takeover and hopefully entice a team into wanting to deal for him in the offseason.

I asked him how Jamison was, and Boobie responded:

:chuckles: How does Gib know that already?

 

[Rick Astley]

Good game. Just saw the last 2 minutes. Lots of touch fouls and pushing for the Bulls.

 

[elcheato]

Is that even Gibson? All of his tweets are from the web (aka sitting on a computer).

I don't think so.

Most people say no. Find me an athlete or celebrity on Twitter that doesn't have a "verified" status in the upper-right and you've found me a fake. Also, the_real_gib tweets waaaaaaaaay too often for either an athlete or a new father.

 

[czvo]

I don't think so.

Hmm... I assumed it was because someone else here started a thread and was posting his tweets.

However, after looking through his followers, I don't think it is either.

So, just ignore whatever I posted from him.

Does anyone think playing the Bulls would be easier than the Raptors for Shaq? Noah is very active, but he doesn't have shooting range. Bargnani would force Shaq to guard on the perimeter, which we know he doesn't want to do.
