Bulls & Philly aren't for real.. won't win East

[3ba11]

They're low in the "chemistry stat" and have no rebounding..

Heck, Philly was the lowest rebounding team in the league BEFORE they traded away half their rebounding in Drummond.. They traded away their rebounding and shooting to acquire the biggest ball-dominator in the league (longest hold-time in league) that will undoubtedly hurt Maxey and Embiid.

Otoh - the Cavs, Bucks and Miami rank high in the chemistry stat, although Miami misuses Herro (too many minutes).. Nets aren't contenders in the East this year.

[Full Court]

I'm a little bit concerned about Vucevic's defense, both in protecting the paint and in rebounds.

However, I don't know what this "chemistry stat" you're referring to is, but the Bulls have great chemistry. To count them out is just silly. If they're healthy come post season they'll be a handful for anybody.

[Mask the Embiid]

Harden should watch manu Ginobili in 2005 and play like him, play off embiid like how he played off duncan.

If harden plays like he normally does, then yeah they won't win anything.

Embiid is also a pretty big choker, he's like this era's version of Ewing and Karl Malone mixed in one guy.

Derozan is a playoff coward so yeah that won't lead to anything either, unless Levine leads them name 3 times where embiid joked in the playoffs…exactly….shut the fk up

One Kevin Durant blown Achilles ring doesn’t make ur boy special. One ring as the 4th guy on the spurs doesn’t make your boy special.


And to OP you don’t even watch the sport anymore….sit down son and go watch the 95–96 bulls championship documentary for the 70th time cause u don’t want none of this

My prediction assumed Caruso and Ball are either banged up or out in the playoffs, because they infact did well in the chemistry stat and put the Bulls into the other category.

But for now, Bulls aren't a favorite in my opinion

I agree with you then. If Caruso and Ball are out, Bulls aren't making it past the second round.

Thread Update:

Bucks, Celtics and Nets are the frontrunners in the East, in that order.. Philly, Bulls and Heat aren't for real.. Cavs too young

[Ass Dan]

The Brookjersey Netterbockers will win the East if KD and Kyrie can play every playoff game.

They almost beat G-Anus last year and his team was better then, plus they had that Street Hunger. Now they fed and softer (like a buttermilk biscuit).

edited because I run a tight ship

Bulls can't be at full power without the presence of ball and caruso.

Op is right but he thinks the wrong teams will win (Miami) all these teams lack a player that is truly elite on all 3 levels of offense while being a menace on defense. That is of course you look at Boston and Tatum

See the thread update in post #6

I'm with you on Tatum for sure

Heat are absolutely for real.

[Im so nba'd out]

The nets were playing at an NBA Finals level of intensity in a regular season game in March. Curry was jumping plays, KD screaming @ embiid, Harden walking the ball up and turning it over tryin to initiate sets... Cut the bs...The nets will never play like this again. They only won cause this was their biggest game of the season.

They are are like 3-17 their last 20 games.... They shot like 75% for the game and we shot like 25% for the game....none of this shit is real....



seek help. Its not even a lock these bums will make the playoffs :oldlol:

[Shogon]

The Nets are going to win the Finals unless Simmons just absolutely completely shits the bed or another major injury occurs.

[ArbitraryWater]

You have them beating Bucks-Sixers-Heat + whatever West team b2b2b2b without HC?

[ShawkFactory]

The Cavs don't have enough perimeter scoring.

[Shogon]

The Nets are going to win the Finals unless Simmons just absolutely completely shits the bed or another major injury occurs.

Warriors and Suns are the only question mark. They definitely come out of the east if all are healthy and Simmons is 90% of what he was.

[3ba11]

Heat are absolutely for real.


They have great chemistry but I don't think they have enough talent in this particular year to come out of the East... unless Butler plays at a Kawhi level, which is unlikely...

It's jimmy butler + a bunch of shane battier's plus a deluxe banger (Bam).. I don't think that's enough this year

^^^ When you say that, there's someone background knowledge that you might be unaware of:

Lebron's "big man ball-dominator" skillset has inferior teammate fits and uses inferior ball movement, strategy, team assists and team offense.

Otoh, Jordan's skillset had great teammate fits, while allowing the best ball movement strategy and #1 team offenses.. His skillset was so fundamentally-sound that he could achieve scoring champion amounts while winning titles - he could literally score goat amounts off-screens and with elite jumpshooting skill or quick-iso ability.

So Jordan is literally goat at chemistry and the chemistry stat (WS/48) confirms this - all of Jordan's teammates (many role players) had spectacular WS/48 (out-producing peers at their minute-level)..

Let... that... sink... in.....

Jordan's rings are the closest thing to a 1-man show in history, which is why he's GOAT

He isn't goat because he won 6 rings with a stacked team - he's goat because he won 6 rings the while defeating maximum defensive attention (carrying the scoring load in playoffs and Finals).. Everyone else has 0-2 rings like this - so he won 3 times as many top-quality rings than anyone else...

Heck, the fraud that everyone says is #2 all-time has zero rings while defeating maximum defensive attention.. 6 to 0.. Yikes.. Lebron lacks the elite jumpshooting skill needed to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals), so he needs equal-scoring partners (1b's) and closers.. Furthermore, his high scoring is too abnormally-ball-dominant for his position (too ball-dominant) to beat good teams, which further necessitates scoring/star help.
