Paul Pierce, from the bench.

 

 

[JD617]

I still can't get over the fact that Ulis weighed 149 at the combine.

 

[Based Jesus]

Cant remember the last time I weighed 149. Maybe freshman year of HS.

No way Chriss isn't 16 years old

Thibs stuck with a Rookie PG

Good. Why delay the inevitable? Now the guy they used a top 5 pick on to be their point guard of the future can get thrown into the fire and develop with the rest of the young core.

For BKY to look so bad on paper they've held their own.

Chicago made them look like the bad team they are supposed to be.

Is Chicago for real?
I have them #7 in my predictions (I think)

 

[starboy]

PHX goofed drafting Bender.

Nothing to do with him as a player, but I just think drafting him and Chriss was a bit redundant. I just don't see any long term scenario where they can pair the two.

I would have grabbed Chriss at 4 and moved the #8 pick.

I think people put way too much of an emphasis on three point shooting and forgot that they had 3 talented hi-bball IQ guys. They are meshing very well very quick (which was unexpected). I don't think they shoot at this rate all year, but I do think that they will be better at shooting then people think because they're generating good looks. Also, I think the rebounding is (somewhat) sustainable. They have like 8 guys who can rebound well. That will keep them in games they are not supposed to be in. In conclusion, I think it's too early to tell but there are some great signs with this team such as the moving the ball movement, rebounding, and chemistry. (imo those things are here to stay)

Only person worth their contracts from yesterday is Rudy Robert. He's the future, so far from what i've seen. Steven Adams isn't worth $100 mil. Oladipo isn't worth a $84 mil.

Oladipo certainly ain't worth it. Adams is nice, but I think he's overrated slightly. He's a good player, but he's so hyped up. We'll see how he does in a full season with just Westbrook running the show.

I agree.
People also think it's impossible to have any kind of success eith Rondo because of ball dominance, then combo that with Wade and ball dominance and Butler with ball dominance it didn't look good "on paper".

Three "high IQ" guys but also, two Champions in Wade/Rondo. 3Wade is still one of the coldest out there when he wants to be. Lopez gets no love either.

There is also a lot of emphasis or importance put on outside shooting or just shooting in general here in this thread.

I like what I'm seeing from the Bulls. I liked that game against the Celtics. They have good veterans, which can overcome some deficiencies in the "new" NBA.
