You got it Good Hope. The coach is not, has not been in charge. That is why having Riley step in as coach will right the ship. I hope it does not happen, but it could.
Re: Game #61, Bulls @ Heat - Game Thread ya! agreed And typical of the Bulls play all season, noah and boozer, our bigs beat their bigs down court and are ready for the put back if it's a miss.
Interesting. I think I agree with you but I'm not sure why. The Celtics are less of a momentum team than the Heat, for sure, so that might be part of it. I'm not really all that scared of the Knicks and Philly, though obviously you prefer Philly. I think the Bulls may match up better with the Knicks now that they have 'Melo and Billups, even if the Knicks are now technically a better team. Raymond Felton just destroyed the Bulls in the two previous games. Rose doesn't fair well against quick point guards. I think D.J. Augustin may cause him more issues than any other player. I'm not as worried with Billups and the addition of 'Melo kind of eliminates the Kincks' run-and-gun, inside, and three-point bomber attack.
The heat players talk a lot! Oh boo who! The elite teams that have beaten them talk on the court. 'Nuf said.
Sam Smith read Riley's facial expression to say, "I'm not coaching this team." Don't know if he's right, of course.
I feel the same way. We match up better with this knicks team! Similar to Orlando's new team. Dont look now, but Denver has played very well since the trade.
The things that kills me about the comment is the Heat are a sports team. It's not like politics or Hollywood where you may have an equal split of fans and detractors. In sports, every fanbase wants their team to win more than the other teams. There are fanbases for thirty different teams in the NBA and only one of them wants the Heat to do well. Yes, "This is what everyone wanted." That's how it goes.
Here's a higher quality video of Rose's layup against the big boys. Amayzing! [video=youtube;c4GQKEHMAyY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4GQKEHMAyY&feature=player_embedded[/video]
