124 points in 1st half. why did i think cha would shake its road woes by imposing its defense and measured offensive sets on the hapless warriors?

We won man, thats all that really matters.

did the rest of the board really think Rose isn't an all star?
he did start off the year sucking pretty hard

well his numbers so far this season are pretty good. and he's been hot as fuck post injury so far.

if we decided all stars by who started the season awesome, brandon jennings would be a starter right now.

terrible attempt at devil's advocate.

So yeah, five straight road victories against good Western Conference teams. I'm still in shock.

The Chicago Tribune estimated that our chances of winning five consecutive road games was 0.2%, or 486 to 1. Also, the last time the Bulls won five straight on a single road trip was late Jan/early Feb 1997.

5. Toronto 25-22 (11.5)
6. Miami 24-22 (12)
7. Charlotte 23-22 (12.5)
8. Chicago 23-22 (12.5)

Milwaukee is 3.5 games behind Chicago. Their next three games: Miami, @Miami, @Orlando.

The top 4 spots in the east are untouchable. The bottom 4 will be a dogfight till the end of the season. Should be good but all in vain because i dont see any of the bottom tier teams upsetting the Cavs, Celts, Magic or Hawks.

Agreed.

Lakers are 4-2 on current road trip. I have been hoping for a 6-2 since before the stepped foot off a plane, and it's still possible. I thought that they would go 1-1 against Cleveland and Boston and lose to one of the garbage teams on the trip. Toronto is wack and I would love to have that game back. They were lucky as fuck. Boston is not playing well right now, so I know we should go in there and handle our b.i. Not too concerned about Memphis even though it's the second game of a back-to-back on Monday. Pau Gasol should be hyped to go against his lil bro and the rest of the Grizzlies present a nice challenge, because they are so-called up and coming.

Oh yeah it's always going to be Breeze >

for ever and a day. Thought you thought.

if we just make the playoffs it'd be a great look for Charlotte in general.

I don't know...The Celtics look weak as fuck lately. I think The Hawks and Cavs are 1 & 2. No doubt....Orlando and Boston recently though??? The word untouchable is not something I think of at this moment. The way Chicago and Toronto are playing...I dunno. I think it might *MIGHT* become a little interesting.

We coudnt beat the Celts when they were missing KG and Pierce...twice. They just have the Raps number. We're not mentally tough to beat them. Orlando is probably the best shot at winning since we match up better against them than any of the other top teams.

I think this attitude regarding the Celtics is changing with a lot of teams though. Teams arent' intimidated anymore. I think they see a deteriorated KG. A Ray Allen that can't defend the perimeter worth a lick. And a bench that is inferior. I expect the C's to fall to the middle of the Eastern Conference.

I know the Cs are falling off a little.. But middle of the pack? You are overdoing it just a little. Marquis Daniels is coming back and they still have a extra roster slot left for someone at end of the season.. There is no way they are losing to any teams besides Atlanta, Clev, or Orlando in the East.

I know I probably am, but I just don't like where they are right now. And Marquis Daniels DOES give them a decent perimeter defender...

Celtics are 9-11 the past 20 games. That number should be better but Rasheed and Big baby aren't pulling their loads it's as simple as that.

Bucks still have a chance but they need to get it in gear. I'm glad Jerry Stackhouse came back and shows he can still contribute off the bench. Could probably do more but he been out like 2 years. I'm glad they beat the heat tonight.

Anyone else just watch Andre Miller put up 52

and carry the Blazers past the Mavs for a much needed win?

Sheed been a huge disappointment.. Looks like he is too lazy to box out and still doesnt go down low enough. I am surprised Sheldon Williams isn't getting more minutes the way Sheed has been playing.

Yea.. He was getting everything to drop.

the Heat suck

that is (almost) all

Other than the tax rate, what's to keep Wade there?

PS-his sideways dunk on Bogut was alien

No.. Sorry.

I was at the game.. These refs HATE Peirce. I don't know what he needs to do to get a foul when he drives to the rack, and what a horrible call on the push off.

PP is my dude and there is no question that he gets fucked worse by the refs than any player of his caliber in the league. But Pierce, Garnett, Doc, Perk, and now Sheed are some of the biggest complainers in the league. Even when Pierce keeps his mouth shut after a call, he makes that screwface like somebody just farted. That scumbag Donaghy has come right out and admitted his dislike of Doc and the Cs. I'm sure he's not the only ref with an axe to grind. They do themselves no favors.
