GO BULLS !!!!!

Sorry, i know this will p... some of you, but it's reality. The sixers are no team. And since the Bulls are exactly my style (fight, fight till the end) they can outhustle every superior (at least on paper) opponent.

Actually, the Sixers shouldn't worry too much about the bulls, who I see moving up to the 7th seed anyway (behind the Pacers). It will be a dog fight of Sixers and Bucks for the glorious distinction to get swept by the new NBA champ 2006 in round 1.

How bout...

TANK, RAPTORS, TANK!!


Let's see Alrdrige or Noah in a Raps Uni next year...

I agree.  Go bulls,  most are rooting for the draft pick.



That's a bunch of crap.  The 76ers struggles have nothing to do with offense or team play.  It's piss poor defense by guys who are either two dumb (Dalembert, Hunter), slow (Korver, Webber) or not enough defensive effort (Iverson, Webber).  Not team play.

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

the sixers has to start winning. I want the Magic to get a high lottery :D

Then tell your crazy bunch to STOP winning.

I mean to what avail do they start ripping the league apart now that the seaon is over? Beat the Bulls in Chi-town (thus negating a 7game win streak) was completely useless.  :wink:


It just shows what happens when a team substracts a self-proclaimed franchise player and starts caring. Oh, and that Darko addition was just what the doctor ordered. He would look SOOOOO nice on the Red Cattle ...

yea darko is really a defensive monster
i watched the magic - bulls game and every time he was on the floor the bulls couldn´t get anything inside. not to mention that his offense is coming along also.
can´t believe the bulls didn´t offer their pick and harrington for darko.
that deal was a steal for the magic.

very true. :D damn Magic. They still want to make the bullshit playoffs. ridiculous. They need to get a pick and get Gay :lol:

I don't think the Bulls were interested in him. I believe the Raptors and the Grizzlies did name names but none of them came close into what Joe wanted.

It could have been done as early as January without the pick involved, but Cato got injured again. It almost went down on Darko for Battie, but the Magic didn't want to let go of battie.

Really a steal on Darko. Otis has done a great job. Especially on n00b Isiah.

i hope gay stays in college. he isn´t ready imo. And the magic don´t need a Sf. I think hedo is a nice player. You will need a guy like hedo next to nelson so at least someone is passing the ball  :wink:
At possible a pick around 10 shelden williams would be a nice pickup.
But my biggest concern with this year draft is that all the bigman will stay in college like aldridge, noah and thomas

As much as I hate to say it, I think Shelden Williams might be he best pro in this draft big man wise.  I think Thomas relies on his athleticism too much and doesn't know the game, I think Noah is too confident in what he has now and thinks that will make him great in the NBA and Aldridge is probably too thin, if he puts in 20 pounds in his first 2 years or so in the league then watch out.

Shelden Williams should be available when the Sixers pick.

I feel terrible for Gay. Rudy is definitely NBA-ready, its just that the NBA hype and being handcuffed under Jim Calhoun's system is affecting his play. I think Gay is the perfect fit for the Magic. Rudy, Darko and Dwight would be a damn long frontline :D

Also Rudy's work ethic will just boost his stock higher.  :(

Sheldon would be a steal.

You ever think that it was Rudy Gay who can't play in a system and it's not Jim Calhouns fault :wink: ?  That's the biggest problem with pro athletes today, they can't learn to play in a system but the want the system built around them.  Which is ok if your a top tier player but the coach can't have a system built perfectly for all the egos on his team.

crazy the 76ers play better without webber...
maybe the defense is better with hunter and sammy upfront..
with AI scoring you don´t need webber taking 18ft jumpshots..

Sorry guys. I feel sad you couldn't at least overtake the Bucks (i told you THEY would be the 8th seed competitor) but that complete meltdown from the sixers came as a surprise nevertheless. (but i guess you haven't earned a postseason berth when you lose to Celtc, Magic and Bobcats that late in the season)

But boy is it nice to see my beloved Bulls in, almost grabbing the 5th seed. I can'T wait to see if they learned anything from last seasons Wizards playoff debacle and give the Heat some fits. If Zo doesn't play this series could be primed for some upset, despite the "all-money-can-buy" roster from the south floridans.

So congrats Bulls on turning around a tough season with all that narrow losses early on.
 :cheers:

yea go bulls...

did anyone see noce going right into shaq the last game...
shaq did nothing and noce could only shake his head after his teammates helped him up.
but give noce credit he didn´t hesitate to go after shaq a second time.

yeah..noce was really a great shooter and a terrific defender...he has improved a lot... but my HEAT would sweep them for sure... :lol: bulls got no answer for shaq...chandler and sweetney are crap...and shaqs been hitting his freethrows lately...so i predict it would be a sweep... posey is improving too....j will is terrific..d wade also terrific...if only walker learns how to shoot... :shock:

and there goes the Bulls..... hehe

Yeah, truly sad. I mean losing to a top team convincingly is one thing, but losing to that bunch of overachievers really hurts. The Heat have more talent on like 12 roster spots, but the bulls just showed what a gritty TEAM can achieve. Down by 20, no problem, we'll make it close. Clamp down defensively. Here we go.

So after being one won quarter away from a 3-2 series lead - and after the Heat looked scared and clueless (and hurt) for a couple of games already, especially the former Superman Shaq, this would have been a lot of fun thereafter.

But in the end it didn't happen. Heat escaped and won back enough confidence to dominate the last 5 quarters. Bulls inexperience - and lack of talent - showed in the end, there's only so much you can overcome by playing harder.


Thanks for the season, Bulls, and remember that missed opportunity. No, not beating the Heat but winning one of those countless games lost on a last shot over the course of the season. One more win and we play LeBron and his, cough, cough, onlookers instead - and the Pistons just give us a glimpse how far a one-man team can go against some decent defense ...
