Yeah, action speak louder than words. But it IS something plausible to put out there...

No its not considering how the Bulls took it to Miami and adding Big Ben and whatever else that can be helpful dealing Tyson they could defeat them.


NJ, Chi, Clev made additions to help themselves. Miami hasnt. Miami was never dominant. Easy road? Pffft whatever you and other may say. I dont particulary see it.

Of course you still have to play the game, I mean injuries are always a possibility. But, using Ben as the common denominator I’d say:

The Pistons can beat the Heat with Ben Wallace.

The Bulls can’t beat the Heat with Ben Wallace.

The Pistons definitely can’t beat the Heat without Ben Wallace.

Wow, I can't believe Big Ben got such a huge contract. I suppose he'll definitely improve the Bulls, but I don't see him making them instant title contenders, especially considering how tight the east will likely be next season. Of course, if they run into the Heat in the playoffs again, their odds will be that much better. I just hope they didn't throw so much cash at Ben that they can't address other needs...

Wide margin? What did Tyson NOT do that Ben does do?

gobb, you are two face. quit acting like tyson is not a bust. that's all you used to sing year after year. you can't have it both ways now.

chicago is already in Miami's head. ben wallace puts them over the top now.

What makes you believe Chicago cant beat Miami with Ben Wallace? That series except the last game Miami won which won the series was close.

Wow, nobody will be sleeping on Chicago anymore.

Chicago has no other needs. And with NY's #1 overall Greg Oden draft pick next season, any need that is revealed will be taken care of.

Chicago is perfect right now. They have their big 2 guard in Europe's best defender Thabo from Switzerland. And PJ Brown and Tyrus Thomas can score the rock down low.

1. NY winning the lottery next year is no gurantee
2. Greg Oden coming out next draft is no gurantee
3. Reading your post you seem to think #1 & #2 will happen
4. Belieivng in #3 is like belieivng Jesus will return. Chances are slim

I agree. People are foolish thinking it's a lock that Oden will be in next year's draft, and even MORE foolish to assume the Bulls will get him even if he IS available. Wishful thinking.
