I'd like to live in your world where J.J. Hickson is some sort of revelation from the gods and an aging Jamison (who hasn't played btw), wannabe all-star mo williams ( ), a solid Varejao, and a bunch of role players > Bogut, Jennings, Salmons, Maggette + solid role players You must live in Cleveland...
Well as much as I hate boozer, he is not a complete scrub you are making it out to be. Saying he is the most selfish player is kind of extreme. I don't like the player, but you have to admit, he was one of the main reasons the Jazz was relevent for the past 5-6 years. The bulls are really lacking a interior scorer. Yes boozer is not an elite post threat, but his mid range jumpers along with a pick'n roll with rose is going to be deadly. I feel that the bulls are going to be a lot better with boozer and noah back to his prefered C position.
I agree with you that cleveland is not better than the bucks purely because of bogut and jennings. Is it just me or is it hard to not cheer for cleveland. I would argue right now that cleveland is the only team in the nba without a 'star' player. Its actually quite refreshing to watch a team of role players actually playing team basketball.
What NBA are you watching? The Bucks were a top 4 team in the east last season, they nearly won in the playoffs without arguably their best player.
There's no way Miami gets past Boston in the playoffs this year. Miami has: (a) no decent point guard vs. Rajon Rondo (b) no decent center vs. Kendrick Perkins + Shaq, etc. That right there is enough to make up for the other starters' superiority in their individual positions. Throw in the fact that Boston bench >>>>>>Miami's bench and it becomes no contest.
I thought they would have a spectacular record, I was wrong. Chris Bosh has played like a little girl, nothing new, but still didn't expect the numbers he's putting up as of yet. If he picks it up and Miller comes back, they will be close to being unbeatable.... getting those three big egos to mesh will take some time, but I think they will put it together.
Have you looked at the standings? Cleveland is sitting at the #4 seed as I write this. :grin: Too many people were fooled into thinking Lebron was the Cavs. You don't win 60 games with just 1 player. The Cavs are a very talented team compared to the other East scrubs. They aren't winning any championships but should easily win the Central division.
Lol, I wonder what fantasy world you live in. Cavs are right now #4 in the East. Lol, you fall too much for hype. Lebron had a talented team around him, that's why they won 60 games that year. Lebron leaving isn't going to make them go from 60 wins to 30 wins. Bucks about to lose another game and go 2-5. Don't be a victim of hype.... Bulls suck, Bucks suck. Cleveland isn't great but they don't suck as bad as most East teams.
The problem with Boozer is that he is more concerned about his stats than winning games. Boozer purposely plays off his man when he needs to get some more rebounds. He would rather let his man get an open shot just so he has a chance at more rebounds. All Boozer cares about is his paycheck, he doesn't care about winning or championships. He doesn't battle for rebounds; he grabs the easy ones. I don't know a more selfish/stat-padding player in the NBA other than Boozer. Even in blow-outs, he wants to stay on the court until he gets his stats. Bulls are really going to regret signing Boozer.
Oh yeah, for you Bucks lovers, I predict they're going to get their ass kicked 5 games in a row: Hornets (tonight) Knicks Hawks Warriors Lakers 11 game win/loss total: 2-9 = 22% win percentage
You fail basic division. 2-9 is an 18% win percentage. You divide the number of wins by games played, not by losses.
