The Bulls tried to cheat again with "physical play", but this time got stopped.

Ya'll remember how the Bulls beat the Heat to snap their record winning streak in the reg season? The referees swallowed their whistles and allowed the Bulls to do ANYTHING they wanted vs the Heat.

So. The refs let the Bulls play football vs the Heat, and the Heat lost their winning streak.

Now, last night in Game 2, the Bulls tried to go back to their thug lowlife basketball, and Noah and all his scummy friends got whistled, called for Techs, and ejected.

Refs did their job last night and kept the game clean.

Exactly. I have no respect for that team when they try to muck up the game with thug basketball.

Noah's always been a pos anyway. Making fun of a city in an interview, running his mouth, and playing thug ball, he's been a low class scumbag his whole career. Not to mention he's a disgusting freak with that long bitch hair.

So you think Cleveland is cool?

That's the thing, don't dish unless you're ready to take it. And don't lose your cool also

[j3lademaster]

Is this a troll post? How did Kirk "tackle" Lebron? Lebron ran into him full force Kirk wrapped his arms around him to try to stay from falling down-bracing for impact. Kirk's like 190 while Lebron's like... 260 lbs of pure muscle? All Kirk did was get into great defensive position and Lebron "no offensive dribble moves to actually get around people" James resorted to running him over because well... he has no moves but blowing by you with a first step or pulling up.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

So you think Cleveland is cool?

Yes. They have a lot of cultural events, and even then, do you think it's OK to make fun of an entire city and it's people in an interview? Why does this long haired freak get a pass on this? Noah is a LOUD MOUTH scumbag who plays thug ball. Point blank.

It's time this freak gets his check cashed in and becomes a hated player.

[Trollsmasher]

The Bulls just can't handle when someone actually decides to get physical with them.

They will throw elbows at you, but they are going to cry when you throw elbows at them.

Simply a bunch of pu**ies.

[j3lademaster]

So you think Cleveland is cool?He probably did when Lebron's c0ck was there. Now his mouth found its way to Miami.

It's ok, the NBA and its refs don't want playoff physical, trash talk basketball anymore...

Noah is pretty accurate in his assessment and has every reason to hate Miami. Remember when James was mocking the bulls with a stupid dance from the bench while playing with the Cav's? Or James performing a blatant flop then winking at the crowd after he had done it?

Noah does not play thugball, go have a look at some Bill Laimbeer highlights man. He hates Lebron and his primadonna, arrogant attitude and alot of his fans are like that I'm sure...The refs ensured Heat were winning game 2 and established their intention early in the game...

If Miami has any team thinking about fouling them, its a wrap. Indiana tried it and they went totally south. I believe Riley gives direct consultation on this matter. His troops are too many and too disciplined. The Bulls are too few and too hot. Miami seen it all and can handle the extras. The Bulls can't focus on outplaying a better team while focusing on something outside of getting hoops or stops. The Heat have identified the only guy that throws a monkey wrench in their trap plans. Unfortunately Noah plays in a way that every Heat player can get a shot at him.

Thibes has been around the block but he's not ready for Riley. The Heat are playing to win three straight. Everybody on the team is aware of that. The only way the Bulls can win if they play to win the game on hand, the extras will hurt them.

The only way to beat the heat is to get inside their heads. Nobody is going to beat them in a nice fun game of hoops. It is possible to get overly focused on making the game miserable for the other team, and maybe that happened in game 2, but it is literally their only hope. Same goes for the rest of the league. Honestly, the only team I think that can beat the heat in a single game of clean fun basketball is the warriors, and only if they catch fire. And not for a whole series, just one game. Season's over.

"More Shaq. More Rileyball. A whole lot less finesse.
Those are the big ideas in the Miami Heat's plan for Game 2 of the NBA Finals Sunday night. If coach Pat Riley's club can execute it, this championship series could become a different kind of ugly."

"The Heat also promised a more physical overall effort that might even evoke memories of the Riley-coached teams that shoved and bullied their way through the NBA in the 1990s, when the "Rileyball" moniker evolved to describe them. Riley publicly stayed quiet on his plans, but his players know it's time to get mean."

I asked if you remembered them and if it was thug ball. Slightly different applications of the rules has nothing to do with a player being a "thug" or not. You had Zo, bruce Bowen, Anthony Mason, Thunder Dan, and Brian Grant all at once. There was no lack of physical play. Teams didnt score 86 a game vs them by being ushered into the lane. And if they got there you had this dude:
http://www.belowthemendozaline.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mourning-flxing.jpg


...scowling, fouling hard, flexing, and acting a fool.


The Heat were about as physical under Riley when they had Shaq, Payton, Zo, Posey, and so on as the Bulls are now. And that was hardly another era. 2001 isnt another era to me.


Either way....if youre a longtime heat fan you rooted for play more physical than the Bulls dish out for years.


Hate seeing fans bitch up when a guy on their team takes a bump but act like its just tough defense when their own team does the same.


This is the playoffs. People playing for a spot in history.


They will not give it away without a fight. If they did...they wouldnt be where they are to begin with.

That was a few weeks ago.

[Nash]

You can't play physical and then expect the refs to give you permission. There is a reason why there are rules in the game.

Also the strategy of jumping on Lebron and hanging on him like a monkey on a tree is not a basketball play at all. What is the point, honestly. We're playing basketball, not wrestling.

[Kblaze8855]

You can't play physical and then expect the refs to give you permission.


Actually thats exactly how it works. You do it enough eventually they quit calling it. Kinda like how Bruce Bowen literally tapped Dirks elbow every single shot some games just because he knew the refs wouldnt call it every time. Dirk even said so and the ref said "Yea he is...but I dont think its changing your shot" and Dirk looked at him like he had to be joking.

You play physical you get a little more leeway. Especially at home. Teams that play soft and suddenly get physical stand out. A guy like Dwight can go over the back 6 times a game and not get it called. Shaq either fouled or got fouled like 70% of the time he tried to score. Tony Allen, Lindsey Hunter, Bruce Bowen, and Kirk Hinrich on his first Bulls run pretty much used reach in fouls to play defense.

Karl Malone had an interview in playboy talking about how he intentionally got worse and worse because the refs simply will not call you for it if you do it EVERY posession.

Its been done in every era. Today included.

You play physical all the time you get more room to work. Refs dont want to be the deciding factor. You hold your man off the ball enough...they stop calling it. Its human nature. These guys dont wanna be hated on for ruining the game. Especially in the playoffs.

Ive heard coaches say the same. YOu get more to work with in the playoffs because no ref wants to hear that he ruined a big game.

[JMT]

Obviously, 'Thug Ball' is overstating it, but you can't play like teams did in the 90's anymore, in terms of physicality.




Sure you can. It's up to the officiating to dictate how much contact is going to be allowed on a nightly basis.

No dog in the fight. Couldn't care less about either team. Heat have played at a very high level this season and are to be commended for that. Bulls are playing with half a roster and it's pretty amazing.

That said, being physical is Chicago's best chance. Just like it's in the Heat's best interest to get the game up tempo and see if the Bulls can survive 4 quarters.

All part of the game unles you're such a homer, or so soft, that you can't be objective.

Yea lebron's move is more of a football move than Kirk's. Kirk had position first while lebron had his shoulder squared against kirks chest.

Of course Kirk messed up by grabbing Lebron, but his defensive position was impeccable.

No, refs will never and SHOULD NEVER allow non-basketball plays. If the Bulls are going to play thug ball, then Miami is going to respond and do it too. You won't bully the Heat.

So then the refs are left with : Let the game get UGLY, filled with non-basketball plays, and potentially fighting, or get it under control and let both teams know that thug ball sht wont fly here.

The refs should be commended for putting a stop the scummy Noah and his troops' antics.

The kind of play bulls use on lebron especially in that game that ended 27 game winning streak was the same play Teams used to use on Shaq. Difference is that Shaq was bigger and heavier. shaq used to commit so many offensive fouls too and lebron should do that too. Shaq didn't used to get called on those offensive fouls because he used to get hammered on the other side.
People think that just because lebron is big for a 6'8" guy, he should be treated like shaq. Rules have changed for the league, you either be ready to be called for techs or stop playing in the NBA.
The only player who gets hit as much as lebron in the league right now is Dwight and he is bigger and stronger than lebron.

Define "thug ball", physical play is not equal to thug ball IMO.

Throwing cheap shots and talking crap because you got outplayed physically in the first game just to throw off the Bulls mentally is more "thug ball".

Of course the Bulls should be prepared for this kind of retaliation, and was probably a mistake from the coach not to prepare them mentally for this kind of scenario.

[NumberSix]

Great strategy by the Heat. Oh, you wanna play physical. OK. we will play physical too, and then the refs will penalize both teams to keep it from getting out of hand, and then were back to where we started. Our talent > yours.

Great strategy by the Heat. Oh, you wanna play physical. OK. we will play physical too, and then the refs will penalize both teams to keep it from getting out of hand, and then were back to where we started. Our talent > yours.

Hey cockboi, did you mean Heat talent>Bulls talent.....it's not your talent. Your not even a heat fan, you just follow the stench of LBj's std's around the country hoping to get a glance or a sniff.

Cockroach.



We were all celebrating the Miami victory where the Heat absolutely PUNKED the inferior Bulls and dominated them. There was no sexual contact however.

That was reserved for Joakim and Taj when they used getting ejected as an excuse to have some private time in the showers together. Your fat low IQ self wished you could have been there with them, but since you live in a rowhome you were forced to touch yourself in your own home since your a nobody.


This thread wasnt a celebration...it was another bandwagon thread starter about how the Bulls "cheated" :roll:

You came up in here and defended your girlfriends which makes you look like ever more of a *****.

You girls cling to each other because you try to hard to make up for having no friends.

The tony Montana Act isn't funny either. Guess you haven't noticed.

Nice 3,000 posts. Doesn't take a genius to see that 3,000 is a higher number than 235.

I guess Taco Bell doesn't require numerical differentiation among their employees. Tsk Tsk I can only imagine the number of orders you've gotten wrong.

to be fair, numerical differentiation describes algorithms for estimating the derivative of a mathematical function or function subroutine using values of the function and perhaps other knowledge about the function.

probably not necessary for tacos

[Dengness9]

[Mrofir]

more about numerical differentiation:

The simplest method is to use finite difference approximations.
A simple two-point estimation is to compute the slope of a nearby secant line through the points (x,f(x)) and (x+h,f(x+h)).[1] Choosing a small number h, h represents a small change in x, and it can be either positive or negative. The slope of this line is

This expression is Newton's difference quotient.

[JMT]

No, refs will never and SHOULD NEVER allow non-basketball plays. If the Bulls are going to play thug ball, then Miami is going to respond and do it too. You won't bully the Heat.

So then the refs are left with : Let the game get UGLY, filled with non-basketball plays, and potentially fighting, or get it under control and let both teams know that thug ball sht wont fly here.

The refs should be commended for putting a stop the scummy Noah and his troops' antics.

In Game 1 they did bully the Heat, just as they did in the game that ended the win streak. It won't work every night, but it will sometimes. And sometimes it gets ugly like last night. To be honest, I thought much of it was an overreaction by the officials. They did a poor job controlling the game.

Your second paragraph actually makes some semblance of sense. Yes, it is entirely up to the refs how far they want the physical play to go.

You want to cry about Noah. I would say the same about the dirtiest play I saw in the game, which was Chalmers making no attempt to go over, under or around the screen and instead grabbing Noah around the neck.

Stop crying. It's unbecoming. Your team won. If you've ever played the game above a junior high level you know that games are played in many different ways. If a team is successful in establishing their tempo, however they manage to do it within the confines of what the refs will allow that night, they'd be fools not to use it to their advantage.

will you also have a seizure if i told you that league has changed a lot of rules? Guys like you make me laugh so hard. Most of the rule changes were because of jordan and shaq.
also, superstars getting favorable calls thing was also started with jordan who complained a lot along with bird and magic after every physical game.
If those superstars didn't complain so much, i would have more respect for people who say that superstars of late 80s and 90s were not as soft as today's superstars.
also, That piston defense wasn't half as intelligent and skilled as today's top tier defense whether you like it or not. i like today's defense which is more skilled and intelligent than just physical.

Is this a troll post? How did Kirk "tackle" Lebron? Lebron ran into him full force Kirk wrapped his arms around him to try to stay from falling down-bracing for impact. Kirk's like 190 while Lebron's like... 260 lbs of pure muscle? All Kirk did was get into great defensive position and Lebron "no offensive dribble moves to actually get around people" James resorted to running him over because well... he has no moves but blowing by you with a first step or pulling up./thread:roll:

The pat riley knicks played thug ball.. the chuck daly detroit pistons played thug ball

I think the posters on this board are a little bit too emotional on both sides and its sad to watch.

its only 2 games.. I personally think Chicago is done, but there are more games to play and people need to settle down and let the series play itself out..

Dude you are trying wayyyy too hard right now lol. You seem either very butthurt or very mad, either way you look worse than anybody in this thread because you're just trying wayy too hard to win an argument on the internet. Like you are completely done talking about basketball and are down to just gay jokes and yo momma jokes at this point, not a good look



But anyway, I think there is blame on both sides here. There is certainly a grey area in between physical defense and "thugball" which the Bulls are treading along, but Miami also needs to let their play do the talking by winning despite great defense from the Bulls. The Bulls also need to more sure they don't step over that line too often, if not only in the interest of fair play, though many would argue fair play can gtfo when a series is on the line

Who said anything about helping Andersen up? Are you stupid or what? Andersen was clearly going away from Robinson and didn't even look at Nate nor said anything to him and Noah just came and pushed him for no reason like he's some ''tough'' guy... :facepalm

Pat Riley and Alonzo Mourning would have put some of you off the Heat bandwaggon the last 20 years. If you had been on it at the time at least.

If you think things like this makes someone a thug...you need to seek out some actual thugs. Ive taken harder fouls than some of these playing on asphalt...with friends and family.




I mean....Chris Andersons shoulder was brushed while he was on the ground. And a 6'9'' 275 pound former all state football player got shoved(and somehow fell from the 3 point line to the bottom of the circle).

:lol: :lol: :lol:

You know, kids watching basketball the last 5 or 10 years don't get what physical playoff basketball is or was like earlier on....

The trash talk, the fighting, the hard fouls, have all reduced considerably since the Jordan era. The stuff you get teched for today are hard fouls then. Guys could have verbal standoffs and refs would let it go, players could get layed out driving to the hole and all they got was two shots...

Call me nostalgic, but that to me was basketball purity. Where guys went to war on the court and show all their emotions and physical will to win a game. Nowadays, its still there but its watered down considerably and refs have far more control now.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

bulls arent thugs.. They are just simple idiots.. they dont have enough control over their own emotions to play thug ball.

its wannabe 'thug ball' played by a bunch of guys who arent mature enough to handle the emotions they are tapping into.

:facepalm that play by nazr mohammed was the dumbest play Ive seen in a minute.. you gotta be a stupid mofo to push somebody in that circumstance..

Noah gives a speech about keeping his cool and he goes right out gets another tech

Bulls cant handle their own style of play

[3LiftHeatCurse]

You know, kids watching basketball the last 5 or 10 years don't get what physical playoff basketball is or was like earlier on....

It's not about physical play. I don't mind it. Like plowking pointed out, it's about Chicago players who will flop, cry to the refs, scream and1 all the time so loud that you can hear them on TV on the offensive end and then on the defensive end they will play dirty and act tough. This is especially true for Noah, Boozer also cries and screams all the time but at least he's not playing dirty. Only player who gets my respect is Nate who truly playes like a warior on both ends of the floor. And so does Butler.

For example, Lebron also cries and flops a lot on the offensive end but atleast he's not playing dirty on defense. You rarely see him commit hard fouls or trying to pick a fight with someone. Noah does this all the time.

[TheMan]

Different era and rules back then.

and Riley never support nonbasketball plays like what the Bulls do.
lol, shows just what the complete moron you are. Did you see the way Riley's Knicks played Jordan's Bulls?:facepalm

Different era and rules. Get with the times. And the Bulls aren't playing tough, they are mucking up the game. It's one thing to play tough, and another to shove players after the whistle for no reason, slap player faces, wrap people up for no reason, etc.

[Kurosawa0]

I get that the Bulls had to try to play this way with all of their injuries, but if you're going to do this, you've got to win the fight. Right now, the Bulls are bringing the fight, but Miami's winning it.

Miami's not having their players ejected.

Whether or not LeBron flopped when Nazr pushed him, it doesn't matter. It was a dumb play to begin with.

You can't make this your strategy and then act all shocked when the refs hit you. Anyone that has watched this league for even a little bit could tell you that stuff might work for a game, but it'll never last for a series.

[Rasheed1]

Pat Riley's Knicks and The Chuck Daly bad boys were intimidators. they would push & shove... give hard fouls.. play after the whistle but they didnt get consumed by their emotions.. Starks did once and I think Rodman kicked a camera guy in the nut sac when he was on the bulls :oldlol: ..

but mostly these guys were intimidating the other team. They knew where the line was and they didnt get themselves thrown out of games while crossing it.

Guys like Anthony mason, Oakley, Ewing, and Xman knew how to play 'beat em up' basketball without melting down in the process.

this team doesnt..

[Dresta]

Pat Riley and Alonzo Mourning would have put some of you off the Heat bandwaggon the last 20 years. If you had been on it at the time at least.

If you think things like this makes someone a thug...you need to seek out some actual thugs. Ive taken harder fouls than some of these playing on asphalt...with friends and family.

I mean....Chris Andersons shoulder was brushed while he was on the ground. And a 6'9'' 275 pound former all state football player got shoved(and somehow fell from the 3 point line to the bottom of the circle).

http://www.ronanlyons.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/helen-lovejoy.jpg
Bulls are playing like chumps, making not just hard fouls (which are fine) but complete non-basketball plays in an effort to boost their energy and just generally piss the other team off/ make the game as little like basketball as possible.

Fine, they are entitled to do that. But then after the game when they have been clearly outclassed by the opposing team, they feel the need to whinge and moan about the refs and play it like they'd be winning if the league wasn't geared against them - this is bullcrap, and thoroughly pathetic, as well as childish.

Such a bunch of fake tough guys its unreal: going around shoving people on the floor and when they aren't looking - these are cheap shots. And then to have the audacity to complain about being penalized for it :banghead:

Just stop please :facepalm

He took the Knicks over the Welt Line (2,000 personal fouls for the season) his last three years in New York, which put them among the league leaders in battery. It was Riley's Knicks who were largely responsible for giving us the popular flagrant-foul point system as well as the wildly thrilling hand-check rule. It was Riley's Knicks who helped turn an NBA game into a three-hour Free Throw Derby, But we figured he was matching strategy to personnel.

He called you out pretty good there and you went the different eras argument to hide the butthurt :lol:

You sound like the new generation of sissy fans...wahhh he tugged my shirt, wahhh he pushed me ref, wahhh Noah doesn't like me and said naughty words wahhh.

Wrap him up for no reason??? :roll: :roll: :roll: That is terrible, might call the ambulance for that one...

Fcuk this NBA, I want the old days back, this ref control on the game has taken the best aspects out of the sport. It used to be alot more entertaining, more heated, although its just enough for me to keep watching... :confusedshrug:

and none of this changes the fact your Bulls are a scummy thug ball team.

You get all the homecooking when you needed it, don't act like Bulls didn't have grounds to complain. Hell, even coach Thibadeau who is not normally outspoken, noted the Heat have refs on their side..Its easy for you to say Bulls players and fans shouldn't whinge or complain, when you have had the refs backing all along. Game 3 represented the NBA showing everyone that the series will be "fairly" officiated, well, at least fool everyone into thinking so :lol:

Fake tough guys huh? You mean Noah playing through plantar fascilis and getting in James grill the leader of the Heat team and physically bigger and stronger than Noah doesn't represent a guy who is tough? I'd like to see what you think is...

I'd hate to see how much you would whinge about hard fouls and altercations back in the Jordan era, you would probably cry to your mum and have a meltdown.

[Frozen1]

I laught at guys saying the game yesterday was rigged for miami. The referee made mistakes for both ends, and they are only calling it close because of the bulls thug style, to not lose control of the game.

The reality is that chicago is full of bitch.ass.******, especially noah, and are pretending to be tough because they know that playing basketball they don't stand a chance against the heat.

[Kblaze8855]

Pat Rileys teams didnt make "non basketball" plays?

The Heat flat out admitting in the press they were gonna go beat on the other team...in 2006 and 07...is a different era?


You are 18 or less, a bandwaggon heat fan who hated them when Riley ran things, or simply looked the other way when your team was more physical than these Bulls. No other options.

A supposed long time Heat fan complaining about shoulder pushing and guys being wrapped up to prevent dunks is laughable. Considering how long they have been around and how many physical years they had had in that run....

The Heat are probably the most consistently physical team in NBA history.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--aLPOU2NcQs/TrIBpBfV9OI/AAAAAAAATLU/N_TWmX4mAkA/s640/bowen_kick.jpg



I wouldnt be shocked to learn Bowen was yelling "Thug life!" as he flew through the air.

But the team that built itself on the back of the system that made for the most brutal, low scoring, physical games ever...and a long time fan of that team...not a bandwaggoner of course...thinks its thugball to brush a centers shoulder on the ground.

Alonzo mourning would have dropped a knee on his forehead like Ric Flair


http://stream1.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs7/4125901_o.gif

and rolled straight to the locker room before the ref could finish ejecting him. Thats if he could get the other teams coach off his leg during the ensuing brawl.

But of course...different era. Even if in 07 they were talking the same way and making pregame threats to get dirty. That was also a whooooooooole other era. That was 6 years ago!

Loooooooong time for a 16 year old.

[poido123]

I'm not surprised if the Bulls had all the favourable calls in game 3. It just acts as a smokescreen for game 2 and those ridiculous gamechanging calls made early in that game. It was clear the refs were taking control from the outset and ensuring Bulls couldn't play physical with Miami or gain ascendancy for an unlikely series win. Refs want this series to go longer than 4 games, but they also are making sure Bulls don't get 2 games on the Heat homecourt and building an insurmountable lead in the series.

You call this "thug style"? You didn't watch much basketball before the 2000's...We are talking about some pretty lowend physical contact here, no punches thrown, no one getting layed out on the court...

Thsi is the best description of the Bulls team so far. They're just wannabe thugs. Pacers did the same stuff in last year's series against the Heat but they didn't act like immature idiots, which the Bulls are so fond of doing.

I can't be bothered. For real, I've already posted them in another thread and don't want to go through it again.

Do I think Bulls could of prevented letting things get to them and played through it? Of course.

While I go on about the officials, you will continue to be ignorant. It suits you as a Heat fan, what do you have to complain about? Refs got your back :lol:

As I've said before, Game 3 means shit if Bulls got the good calls etc, the refs had already done the damage in game 2 to ensure Bulls couldn't get a distinct advantage. While they want the series to go longer than 4 games, they would not let Heat fall behind 2 games at home and they wouldn't want Bulls winning the series..

All i saw from Noah this past game were the actions of a petulant and spoilt child, which he clearly is, and probably has been most of his life. Deliberately making the game difficult to officiate through childish antics and then complaining about the refs (no doubt cynically to try and gain an advantage). Meanwhile idiotic fans like yourself lap it up because they need some kind of excuse to explain how a 66-16 team is 2-1 up against a 45 win team.

There is an incredibly immaturity to the guy that just makes him repulsive to look at. Perfectly suited to Chicago fans then, it seems.

[2swift4u]

Noah is really annoying to watch (and listen to - because you can always hear him crying around) I don't know whats wrong with him but the way he pushed the Birdman or was applauding when Bosh was talking to Chalmers just makes you think he isn't the smartest guy in the world.

[Nick Young]

If Nate blew by his man Tim Hardaway style, put up a high arching layup over Lebron's help D and then b*tchslapped him as the ball went in the net ON PURPOSE(like you imply here) then Nate is 10x more awesome than I originally thought. Nate "Gangster Swagger" Robinson.:cheers:

Those people are stupid, and i don't care what they think. What you and others think doesn't make what i said any less true, and to act like popularity is some kind of endorsement of character, well, lets just say that isn't very smart.

Not that Noah is even particularly popular: plenty of people think he's an immature douchebag.

[Robalvarez2010]

Well most likely because of the bulls stupidity, boozer and teague will be suspended for Monday's game because they were on the court when Noah had that confrontation with the birdman.

And by the nba rules anyone from the bench who sets foot on the court when there is an altercation, will be automatically suspended for the following game.

I honestly missed the 90's. When I saw game 2 It brought back great memories. That's the way the game should be played.

More then 95% of the nba players right now wouldn't be able to handle the physicality of the league from the Jordan era.

I love it how these young 'fans' claim that physical contact doesn't matter, yet they get proved otherwise over and over and over.

They say that the old rules wouldn't affect Bron, yet we see that they do slow him down even tho it isn't as physical as it was back then. They say that being tough and physical doesn't matter, yet we see players fold time and time again in the playoffs. They say that athleticism>>>>>>> fundamentals and team play, yet we see the opposite all the time.

I don't think they want to accept the fact that it was harder back then. They don't want to accept that their favorite players of today benefit from a p*ssyfied league. Not to say that players like Bron, Wade, Kobe, CP3 will be sucky, but their numbers and play will clearly suffer. Instead of saying how Bron is a player comparable to MJ, instead of seeing him and Kobe break record after record, we'll see them just as good all stars and not the top 5 caliber players some claim they are.

The Heat just need to get out of this series before one of the Bulls goon squad tries to injure Wade, Bosh, or James. I have no respect for that team after this series.
