I don't know.  It's getting annoying.

ChiTownRiv, I came in to say the same thing...gotta capitalize on the bunnies in the schedule before the trip...if we can get on the plane 5-3, i gotta good feeling we will go 4-3 at the least on the road.

 

[everysingletime]

By the way, I'm not sure but I believe tonight was the first time we held a team under 100 this season...and also it looks like Thibbs finally decided on a rotation 

Playing 11 players a game was od. 

 

[chitownrivera07]

^^^

Very True...and if im not mistaken JJ aint get no burn tonight right?

 

[everysingletime]

Na...

Looks like Brewer is going to take the rest of JJ's minutes.  Brewer's not looking bad hopefully he keeps it up.

 

[seymore cake]

^ if he ever gets a Jumper he'd be decent as hell.

I was really happy with Bogans play last night as well

 

[antbanks81]

saw this on realgm and wanted to share....

Chris Bosh sat down with LeBron James on Friday night to discuss how Miami's Big Three could better complement each other.

Six games into the season the team's transition wasn't going as easily as Bosh had planned.

"I was just honest," Bosh said of his chat with James. "I get a little lost out there because it's different."

Bosh's numbers are down across the board, but he insists that finding himself on the court among his new teammates cannot be measured by statistics.

He is averaging 14.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

One guy is Taj Gibson and the other is Chris Bosh

I don't expect this at the end at the year, I'm just saying.

 

[seymore cake]

And they gave that man 100+ Million

Lulz at the Taj/Bosh comparison. Bosh will be fine in no time. Has to weird for a big man to play with Wade and LeBron. Heavy usage from those two. 
I know it's early but the  2009 Draft was pretty deep. Lots of quality players right to our selection of Taj (guaranteed rotation player for the rest of his career).

[Bend_The_Knee]

^i dont wanna trade taj in the melo deal if it gets us him

i think taj in 2, 3 years will be a borderline allstar

he need to work on his J tho

 

[seymore cake]

^ or he could remain exactly what he is... Where as you know Melo's going to be a 25-30pt scorer 7-8reb for the next 5 years. If he's what they ask for and its holding up the deal they can have him.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

^oh nah i agree, if hes gota be dealt then fine but i do think hes got a big upside

 

[antbanks81]

Bosh is only playing 4 minutes less than last yr...he gotta really turn it around to make the 14.5 mill justifiable...I know Riley gotta be watching that closely...they coulda kept Beasley (on his rookie contract) and used the money to bring in a better big man or two....haslem leads the team in rebounds with 8...both wade and lebron #s are down so maybe they waiting for bosh to step it up...dtill very early but they r third in their division

 

[crazy dav0]

rose 1-3

... 4th quarter when it mattered

 

[antbanks81]

yeh Rose was shooting garbage but proved himself to be an AllStar with his fourth qtr performance...one of the analysts said that the best players can shake off bad performances and still close. Thing is he was missing shots that he normally makes at a high clip

I looked at the schedule again for the road trip, I'm thinking 5-2

Houston:aaron brooks out W
san antonio:believe we swept them last yr W
dallas:L got us twice in pre-season
lakers:L for Lakers
phx:W
den: W, won a close one last night, might be diff in their bldg
sac:W, no 35 pt letdown this time
