    But he's nowhere near Leonard's level. It's not even up for discussion. Trading CJ for Leonard would be like trading IT for Curry.

    The rest of your life you better take elevators. Because if you're near stairs I will get you again.

    Never could figure out why they call that fixed? Kind of seems like purposely breaking if you ask me.

    Game 2 is the key game in each of these series. You don't see any adjustments in that one, you won't make any for game 3.

    Can we forfeit game 4?

    That’s your opinion... you don’t know what CJ brings back in trade... even a slightly lesser talent may be a better fit and improve this team. Doing nothing is not an answer and only CJ has value to bring back a difference maker

    You say that like it's a fact. The Pelicans offered a better crap contract (less money than Meyers would've been) and what everyone thought would be a much higher 1st round pick since Cousins was out. The Bulls still ended up taking the better deal from NoLa. Asik has less time on his deal of guaranteed money and they got the 22nd pick instead of the 24th from us.

    Edit: The real story would've been if we offered the TPE and a 1st for Mirotic so they wouldn't have had to take on a bad contract. However, they would have been under the floor so it wouldn't have really even saved them that much money.

    Someone on BE said a 3rd seeded team hasn't been swept since 1978, how can you justify bringing the coach or gm back if that happens?

    They can beat this team. Not 4 times in a row but they can beat this team. Yes this series is pretty much over but i would like to see a nothing to lose effort and some 3's raining in New Orleans. It would be fun to watch. And yes i will watch the next game.

    I can't remember feeling this demoralized going into game 4 of any playoff series. Stotts has been out coached so thoroughly and I want him fired before game 4. I just can't imagine us winning game 4 the way we have played the last 3 games and it doens't seem like something is just going to "click" and we will look better.

    C'mon Chris, think positive. Time for the Pels to start missing shots.

    That is another thing. They have been absolutely lights out shooting.
    Another things is it has seemed like crazy bounces have just gone their way over and over again. Could be hustle but it's not what it has looked like. Just crazy lucky bounces.

    I feel like this 3rd seed is much different. The difference between the 3rd seed and 8th seed was only a couple games. It was close. Any team from 3-8 could of been the 3rd seed, it was so close

    Asik makes more than Meyers next year. He’s got a team option the following year but still has money guaranteed. Chicago would be better served holding onto him as an expiring contract they could use in a trade.

    And Asik is a lost cause on the court. Meyers could still play, especially on a rebuilding team like Chicago.
