as a Bulls fan, im more worried about OKC than the HEAT

[nathanjizzle]

thats just the truth. im not worried about the heat, there weak against teams that are well balanced and play as a team. OKC dont have any weaknesses at this point, there weakness last season was inexperience, and now they have it.

[Go Getter]

Who cares what you're worried about fool, you ain't suiting up and hitting the hardwood.


And the Bulls have to get by the defending champs before they ever see the Thunder so they should be concerned about them.

[EnoughSaid]

You're not worried about the defending champs? :roll: Miami will whoop on Chicago if they face eachother in the postseason. LeBron will lock down Rose again and Bulls will be lost.

[red1]

bulls have key advantages over the heat but even with a healthy rose they still arent on that level

[Clocian-IGN]

im more worried about the bull's health than either of those 2 teams :facepalm. healthy bulls >>

[ballinhun8]

It should be the opposite.

OKC is someone who we can match up with. Miami, still has our number from two years ago.




And please ignore what that little fool enoughsaid says, damn kids shouldn't be allowed to post here.

[tikay0]

And please ignore what that little fool enoughsaid says, damn kids shouldn't be allowed to post here.

Are you stupid? We have a decisive rebounding/big man advantage over the Heat. We have absolutely no advantages over OKC. Besides Noah over Perkins, but that's a wash considering Ibaka.

:biggums:

I've been afraid of the Thunder far more than the Heat, the past 2 years.

[tikay0]

I don't get why Bulls fans are mad at this thread. I think it's a completely valid discussion.

I've been saying for the longest, even if we get past Miami, I'm not too sure about OKC.

I know it's just the regular season, but at least we have a blue print on stopping the Heat. When's the last time we even beat the Thunder in the regular season???

[funnystuff]

Do you Bulls fans remember what Lebron did to Rose in 2011?

[KungFuJoe]

As a Bulls fan, you'll have other things to worry about during the Finals. Such as if you should watch a movie on TV or go rollerblading.

[BrickingStar]

Do you Bulls fans remember what Lebron did to Rose in 2011?
Guess not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgLMI784M4E

Rose the MVP and "Cold Blooded Assassin" was no where to be seen at the end of this game other then getting shut down.

[Chicago Brawls]

Do you Bulls fans remember what Lebron did to Rose in 2011?

Last time I checked this is 2013.

[Money 23]

Do you Bulls fans remember what Lebron did to Rose in 2011?
You mean LeBron, defensive shades, multiple layers of rim protection defense, athletic defenders playing passing lanes and Chicago not having ANY other playmakers to help D- Rose out and put pressure on the 4 other defenders?

Why yes, I remember what that Miami team did to Rose with their stifling, athletic, swarming team defense. LeBron just took the pub, by being a pretty good man defender, and just contesting Rose's jumper seeing as he had NO WHERE else to go.

And given Rose is like in reality 6 feet tall, and had a 6'8 SUPER GENETIC FREAK athlete contesting his jumper, as he had to play both guard positions, chuck and distribute? He did a pretty damn find job all things considering.

Bron reaped the benefits getting fan claim as if he solo LOCKED DOWN the MVP Derrick Rose. When in reality it was a team defense, and Bron using his physical gifts to bother someone on the perimeter.

Probably the most overrated defensive job on an elite player I've ever heard of ... for people who know basketball, they know the real reason why Rose looked bad that series.

Kobe's defense on Westbrook in the 2010 playoffs was more impressive than Bron on Rose in the 2011 playoffs.

Kobe was on an island locking dude down with his man defense. Westbrook had other elite shot creators who could score and take away layers of defensive help. I wish Rose had that ... until he does, everyone needs to stop acting like Bron locked him down mano y mano.

If he's hucking shots over lebron that's not a good job, he simply just has to get around him and distribute which he struggled to do so. And he's 6'3 so lets not exaggerate like if he's allen iverson. I heard Rose is arguably the fastest player in the league and yet he struggled to blow by LeBron.

[BrickingStar]

Last time I checked this is 2013.
And Rose won't be as good as 2011.

[b1imtf]

Last time I checked this is 2013.
And LeBron has become better while Rose is out.. Not looking too good for the Bulls

[Clocian-IGN]

And Rose won't be as good as 2011.

OOOOO, so you've seen him play? can you tell me how he's looking?

[imdaman99]

And Rose won't be as good as 2011.
maybe he doesn't have to be. maybe he just needs to be smarter than he was 2 years ago :confusedshrug:

Rose is not 6'3. He's closer to about 6'1. NBA exaggerates certain players heights. Iverson was listed 6' and he was like 5'11. Steve Nash is listed as 6'3, and he is NOT 6'3.

Rose didn't struggle to blow by LeBron. You obviously didn't understand what you were watching.

The Heat had no respect for the other Bulls players, they sagged off many of the perimeter players (Bogans, Brewer, even Korver) they didn't respect them, none could create off the dribble or finish at the rim v.s. elite athletes and defenders (Bron, Wade, even Chalmers)

Rose was the only one. Rose couldn't attack the rim the way he did v.s. the Pacers and Hawks, because everyone was focal pointing Rose drive to the basket. They wanted Rose doing step backs and shooting jumpers. Miami absolutely played Rose perfectly. I'm giving them the credit.

It was NOT however Rose and Bron on an island. The four other defenders weren't being distracted or held accountable for any other Chicago offensive threat. The rim was being defended well by Bosh, Haslem, and Anthony..

Bron took advantage of the situation dealt. Contest Rose jump shot. NOT THAT BIG of a deal. And certainly not the hand cuffs the way Miami / LeBron fans act like he put on Rose.

It was a situational defensive setting, and Bron did his job. It wasn't some superman effort taking on a player individually, with no help defense. It was Miami's help defense that shunned Rose's penetration game. Rose is so quick he is allowed to look past his man defender, and worry more about the other layers of defense.

In those 2011 playoffs, he had no where to go off the dribble. Seeing as how he had to be a playmaker and scorer to beat Miami, he was forced to hoist jumpers that were being contested by a top five defensive player in the league. And probably that season the best perimeter defender in the game.

What else do you seriously suggest Rose could've done? He was seriously handicapped by the talent on his roster.

[Joey3000]

LOL

Chicago fans are on crack :oldlol:

[funnystuff]

Im just saying, no way Rose comes back with that mvp fire he had in 2011.


The Heat should worry about the Knicks way more than the Bulls

the heat last season went 7 games with the boston celtics. you know who else went 7 games with the boston celtics? rookie derrick rose and a poorer bulls, and this was when the celtics were defending champions not a washed up contender like last season.:roll:

[Mr. Incredible]

Chicago can't beat either in a series. Simple as that.

[YourBrainIsGod]

I really like this Chicago team, but I don't see them beating the Heat 4 out of 7 times. I like the way they play, with hustle and team ball, but their lack of offensive threats would become problematic when the game is on the line.

Awesome player though.

You should be more worry about the sleeping giant Lakers.. Our offense is flawless using the most effective and unstoppable offense that ever created "The Kobe System." Nobody cant stop that system even the best defensive team in the league.. I like the bulls chance in making the finals this year but theres no way they can beat our team with Kobe System.. I feel sorry for your team if you ever face us.. We're gonna rape your assess badly..

Rose and role players wasn't enough two years ago...sure as hell won't be enough now when Rose isn't even playing and won't be close to 100%.

[tikay0]

Rose and role players wasn't enough two years ago...sure as hell won't be enough now when Rose isn't even playing and won't be close to 100%.

Lets just say Rose will be 100%. This team's dynamic is completely changed. Now we have our microwave man in Nate Robinson. Before, it was pray that Korver gets hot from the arc.

Our defense is still elite, and our rebounding is also elite. We have so many more guards that can create their own shot, plus Noah/Jimmy have truly turned a corner this year. This Bulls team is nothing like last years, or the one before that one, that got to the ECF.

Great post Money. My sentiments exactly. Unfortunately, I see this is gonna go down as one of those myths that people want to believe in order to prop up James legacy more.

This video shows how the Heat played Rose that series. Constant trapping. Not even worrying about the other players on the team.

Not saying they havn't improved but it's one superstar and role players and that won't beat two superstars and one very good all-star.

I guess you can call it Rose, and super role players. With a much deeper guard rotation. Also a guard rotation that can create for themselves.

Basketball isn't 1+2=3. You have to take into consideration, team dynamics, different roles for players, offensive system, etc.

In case you forgot, that Celtic team didn't have KG.

[Rubio2Gasol]

Rose was injured, overworked from carrying the team for about a year, and being switched onto by everyone's man. That's fair enough.

But what makes you think it's not going to happen again?

Say Rose comes back 100% - he's still the only consistent scorer on that roster. One which has lost quite a bit with Korver and Osik.

[2010splash]

That's too bad... because the path to the 2013 title goes through Miami, not some weak-sauce small market OKC team that got crushed by them in the Finals last year and then proceeded to make their team worse by trading a budding superstar just to save money. :roll:

[2010splash]

If they're healthy, the West will go through San Antonio this year, not OKC.

You reek of stupidity. We've gone neck and neck with the Heat damn near every time we've played them, barring 1 game this year. Although we did dominate them earlier this year, so it negates that.

The point is, we've never really been close with OKC, or beaten them in a while.

That's without DRose though. With him, they may have beaten us once in the season opener back in 2010.



Honestly there is about three team that can make the ECF realistically and Chicago is one of those teams (with Rose even at 80%) along with Miami and Boston. NY is not a serious threat with their type of play, Indy would fill in for Chicago if Rose is not at least 80% of what he was before the ACL. Atlanta is maybe 2nd round depending on matchups, NJ will most likely do nothing, MIL might steal one game against Miami.

That would have been a better opening post than "I'm not worried about the Heat."

I understand what you are saying, but Miami can play any type of game. They will manage against the big teams. Chicago's offense is mediocre this year, and even with Rose (who we don't know how good he will be back from injury), the Heat already beat this Chicago team in 5 games (this team is probably worse than the 2011 one), and Miami didn't have the cohesiveness they have now as a team.

I'm sure the games will be close, but I don't see Chicago beating Miami 4 times in a series. That offense is too mediocre, and Chicago's defense can only defend star power for so long since you can't really stop players like LeBron and Wade without wearing down. They will need to score. Miami already blew them out on their home floor this year. Chicago beat Miami on their home floor when every team was outrebounding us by 20 rebounds. Miami has been MUCH better on their defense and in rebounding thanks to better play and Birdman.

I'm more worried about the Pacers

The 2011 and 2013 versions of the Bulls are completeley different. When will people finally get this? This 2013 actually is better offensively.

You got to realize that when Rose starts, Hinrich will move to the bench. So that gives us more depth and better defense in the 2nd unit. With guys like Gibson, Butler, Hinrich, Belinelli, and Robinson, we have just a solid group as when Watson, Brewer, Korver, and Gibson came in. Except the current bench can provide more offense because they have the guys that can put the ball in the basket quick. Belinelli and Robinson are capable of putting up buckets quick and will help Rose when he needs to spread the floor. Even Butler is just as adequate as Brewer was two years ago except he's already better offensively then Brewer was with us.

They are 28th in points per game, and this is assuming Rose is healthy. I've seen too many Bull games this year where they look dreadful on offense. Even with a healthy Rose, I don't see them beating Miami 4 times in a series. They are still a good team, but not on Miami's level this year. They can keep games close because they play great defense, but the offense is not good enough while Miami is elite on both sides.

I'm not saying we're going to beat Miami. If we play them and we have an even 80% Rose then it's going to be the most competitive series Miami plays in. The current ranks we have offensively might as well be thrown out the window because when we get him back it will be a completely new and rejuvenated squad. Don't forget Hinrich has missed a ton of games too and he is the facilitator on offense with Noah. Nate Rob is not that guy. But he can be our JJ Barea/Stevenson type.
