So people are already gonna drum up the sky is falling attitude with Gordon too :kanyesmh:

Gordon will be a Hornet no doubt. Aminu is a project that will hopefully pan out. Kaman is gonna get traded because the Hornets frontcourt is crowded which is why Kaman is on his way out. Hornets are still winners in the deal with the likely prospect of a rigged draft.

Id almost bet money the Hornets win the draft lotto

Seriously the Hornets are David Stern's baby.

The Heat vs Bulls yesterday looked a lot like the ECF. Heat have multiple closers. Rose is still asked to do it all. The last play was hilarious. Boozer missed the wide open back door then the team proceeds to stand around doing nothing while watching Rose. Boozer and Noah either riding the pine or fucking up in crunch time. :yawn: Same ole shit.

Yeah, Boozer missed Hamilton cutting to the basket, but Rose also missed Hamilton wide open on the baseline.

It didn't help that Hamilton and Korver were standing side by side near the arc not moving. Honestly the look Rose had at the bucket after Haslem tried to take the charge was there. I'd rather see him take that than dish to the perimeter where James and Wade were for Hamilton or Korver to shoot.

Hamilton also sucked major ass in the 2nd half too. 5 turnovers, 0 points I believe.

[ralaw]

I thought Rose should have taken the jumper as he came off of the screen, because while he had success at getting to th rim and finishing in the closing minutes the Heat were going to focus entirely on him. Either way, this team is good, but they're going to become the 90's Knicks, Cavs, etc to the Heat's Bulls.

Pretty much. We're the Pacers, Jazz, Cavs, Knicks, Bucks of the 80s-90s.

Awesome team, 55+ wins, loss in conference finals.

Even though Bulls fans don't want to face the facts they need the 2nd option. We're going to have to trade the depth to get someone else that warrants a look on defense. As it stands now it's Derrick and 4 guys standing around at the end of the game.

Weekend off for the Blazers after hammering the Suns. Ready for Utah tonight.

Hey, remember when we could have possibly traded Deng and Noah for Melo?

FML.

Pretty much. The Heat are only going to keep getting deeper too with their ability to use some MLE's and having some quality veterans wanting to come play and chase rings.

The window for the Bulls to beat the Heat is quickly closing and IMO the Knicks are a better coach away from overtaking the Bulls in the nex year or two as well.

That's why people get pissed when I say if we have to trade Brewer, Korver and something else to get Allen I do it. This is a window year. I don't care about 2013.
