    The Bulls will NOT win the NBA Championship this year.

    It's Derrick Rose or bust in crunch time for that team and I don't think it will be enough.

    Still got Boston winning the conference and meeting up with the Lakers.

    It's going to be Chicago vs the Spurs for another unwatchable Championship series :grin:

    Actually, I think it will probably be Miami against the Lakers, simply because I think Stern wants that matchup.

    So does that mean Derrick Rose's superstar career effectively ends next season?

    No but Noah is going to demand a trade to the Clippers.

    The comparison is only valid with regards to playoff experiance.

    I don't think the situations are very similar otherwise.


    And I don't think the Bulls will win a title this year but they are going to be contenders for the next few years minimum.

    The Bulls can't beat the Lakers in a 7 game series. I doubt they can beat Boston in a 7-game series.

    LeBron is a fool for not going to Chicago. follow in MJ's footsteps, come on?!? One of the biggest basketball cities in the world. Him and Rose would have been $$$ together. Guess hindsight 20/20.

    I'd say the Blazers with G.O. are the next coming of the 1977 Blazers :wink:

    Thanks. Winston provides a whole different look than the usual ESPN columnists consulting with, before conforming to, each other. Nice to see creative rankings.

    12th for the season, 8th in the last 30 days, 7th in the last 15 days.

    McMillan always has a strong season finish, Wallace or not. I call him a great underdog coach. (Except in the playoffs, when you can't surprise anyone.)
