☆☆ 2012 NBA Finals ☆☆ The King has been crowned; Heat win 2012 NBA Finals! Bron Finals MVP.

[T0INE]

Rip is a good pickup for the Bulls, don't know about him being the piece to put the Bulls over the top against the Heat.

And when exactly did the Knicks show teams how to beat the Heat?

Serious, after the way Bynum played last night, and the Brook injury, we should be making calls right now, before Bynum joins Brook. 

This should help lower their demands as well.  They may not push as heavy for Bynum+Pau if we are the only team in the market. 

That's the thing, Bynum will be joining Brook sooner than later

. I gave Kerry Collins 5 games and he went out in like 3, so I'll give Bynum
til game 35 and start going down from there.

Good to hear Chuck Hayes doesn't have a heart condition. Did the first doctor get his test results mixed up with another patient or something. The Kings def could use him since Dalembert held out for the Rockets.

Also this. Same as the Finals: Mavs had the better team, but Heat had three of the four best players.

im not even a Bulls fan, in fact i hate them

see

He a Pistons fan so of course he gonna think Rip is still that dude. Rip mos def helped them last year tho right? Smh. T-Mac was better than Rip on the Pistons.

The Heat also added Battier so the Heat improved as well. If the Heat play Wade, Battier, and James at the same time, James can be on Rose again.

Did I say Rip sucks? Of course not. He is past his prime and have been declining the past couple of seasons. Injuries do that. He, himself, does not put the Bulls over the Heat. Like I said, the Heat already countered with Battier too. It will be interesting nonetheless.

But the Heat beat the Bulls. How are the Bulls a better team?

The Battier pick up was huge for them for the exact reason you stated. HUGE.  Had they not made that pick up and we were able to acquire Rip I would place us above them for the fact that while Bron was effective with Pooh we still only lost by single digits.  The addition of Rip would've allowed us the extra 12 or so points and The Bulls are in the Finals.  But with them bringing in Battier, that allows for Shane to guard Lu, The ({}) to guard Rip all while leaving Bron on Pooh.  So I'm giving them the edge for now.

 

[stillatit]

I guess having your 2nd and 3rd best players still trying to get right from injuries has no effect on a playoff series. Nor does starting Keith Bogans.

I'd love to see D-Wade chase Rip around screens all game in a best of 7 series.

 

[pmatic]

The Suns waived Mickael Pietrus. He could be a serviceable 2/3 on the right team (Celtics?).

 

[casperjr]

I don't think bron can guard a fresh rose from jump. Last min at the end of games? Yes but we seen what jet was doing to bron out there and you can't tell me rose can't do the same.....

 

[seymore cake]

Aye man I'm as big a Bulls fan as there is on this board but I saw what Bron did during the series... Had it not been for his defense on Pooh that series is reversed. So until Pooh shows that he can overcome that all we know is what we saw. But we'll see.

As far as The ({}) chasing Rip for 7 games, he effectively chased Ray for 6. That's all I'm going to say.

 

[nicedudewithnicedreams]

I ain't even a Heat fan so I'll let you Bulls fans have fun. Last thing I want to get into is another pointless argument like last year whenever I brought up T-Mac on the Bulls. Fun times.

Jet is one of the best shooters in the league tho.... 
Bron held DRose to a 7% shooting percentage. It was one of the worst postseason performances by a regular season MVP. 

I can't blame DRose tho, LeBron isn't human. He's definitely 

 

[scott frost]

Why did Deshawn Stevenson sing for what seems so little?

 

[vc3fan]

Nets got Mehmet Okur from Jazz for 2015 2nd round pick

 

[doublejs07]

Bron can't guard Derrick Rose???

Son must have missed the playoffs. Dude put the CLAMPS on him.

Easy. He wanted to pair up with Shawne Williams for the all-goon squad. Plus all the talent is the east now (melo, bron, wade, rose, etc)

Bulls now have a legit SG. youll see this season.

or Thunder, but allegedly it's because of something they saw in his right knee so approach with trepidation.
