The Raptors blow unless I'm their GM apparently.

Recently, sure, but he was starting for a while at one point.

Have you seen those new Nets commercials? They are hilarious. NEW NETS, NEW ARENA, ....new...lottery..pick.

scottyboy · 03-24-2010, 11:08 PM

shut up forenci! we're proud of our new arena and we're going in with a nice bright future! brighter than the knicks' future!

If you guys start Devin Harris over Wall you deserve to go 8-74.

well, with games like this, Harris deserves to keep his starting spot over a rookie initially, but wall's a question mark because we'll probably finish with 10 wins and get the 4th overall pick. that's mainly why i did it

TitansCJftw · 03-24-2010, 11:29 PM

Phil Jackson to Kobe-"KOBE You're NOT ACTIVATING, YOU NEED TO ACTIVATE THE BALL AND SCORE"... I'm sorry but that is ******* classic I have to say i had a hearty LOL at that

KCJ58 · 03-25-2010, 01:08 AM

i did too that was really funny, i love when they listen in on phil jackson huddles

Exactly. LeBron James has a huge ego.

Or it's because you're delusional and don't realize Devin Harris sucks. Muahaha.

well that's part of it. even though his 24 and 9 were some of the main reasons we won...

but yea, god knows what's gonna happen in the lotto. we all talk of the nets getting wall, but who knows? we could get boned in the draft and get 4...and who knows, get turner, johnson or favors?

To be fair Phil Jackson is a legend and Mike Brown is an idiot.

Brodeur · 03-25-2010, 12:24 PM

If the Nets get Wall, they should try to trade Devin Harris for someone like Paul Millsap (maybe the Jazz could use Devin at SG?) or maybe someone else I can't think of. ******* Harris' inefficient ass is hard to trade.

It's ok, the Bulls will barely miss the playoffs and then get the 2nd pick in the lottery to draft Evan Turner.

Either that, or we'll tank and get a top 10 pick. Screw you Milwaukee, you're not getting our pick!

I actually think the odds of the Bulls making the playoffs is better right now than the odds of them landing a top 10 pick. That said, I'll be pretty disappointed if we end up at 11 like it seems we will.

Also, drafting Evan Turner would be oh so sexy.

tjsunstein · 03-25-2010, 01:26 PM

It's gonna be interesting where the Clippers end up in the draft. I feel like we're in the 9-11 range but a jump up to 8 would be huge if we could land Aminu but I could settle for someone like Xavier Henry.

CC.SD · 03-25-2010, 01:33 PM

Sooo I have been reading Laker blogs, the LA times, even interviews from the players, and literally everyone is talking about how doomsday it is for LA, how the team is playing terribly and will be in trouble for the playoffs. Artest even came out and said Ariza was better than him (not true).

Meanwhile, 7 game winning streak and running away with the #1 seed in the West. Enough gloom and doom!

I want to punch Lakers fans in the face for something like that. Try being in mid lottery hell with cap tied to overpaid bench players leaving no cap room in the future, and being stuck with Joe Dumbass at GM.

I agree, perspective must be maintained.

yo123 · 03-25-2010, 01:50 PM

Try being on pace to win like 20 games for the 3rd straight year and still not having the best chance to get the #1 pick, although even if we did get it our dumbass management would find a way to mess it up and pick Cole Aldrich or something. Our supposed franchise player is terrible defensively, our supposed PG of the future is a glorified Nate Robinson, and Darko Milicic is starting for us right now. By the way Corey Brewer ******* sucks.

Yes but you have Kevin Love, who is awesome.

Yes he is, But Rambis refuses to start him or give him over 30 minutes a game consistently.

Yea, as of right now they have the 11th worst record and are like 6 games better than 10th worst. So falling recordwise into the top 10 is unlikely, but if they miss the playoffs I can always pray for another Derrick Rose miracle lottery.

That said, I'd much rather win the next 12 games and make the playoffs. I don't wanna face the Cavs in the first round, but that's probably the only option left.

ccB · 03-25-2010, 02:31 PM

You all need to take a look at the Washington Wizards over the course of the last two years, and then ****.
