Great! My favorite part was when D. Rose was pummeled to the ground in the fourth quarter on that offensive charge. Or how about, when Thibs sent a hobbled Noah back on the court in the fourth. It was totally, utterly and completely different from when D. Rose's career was derailed in the series against the Sixers four years ago. And by that I mean it was the same old shit that cost us at least three years of Rose's prime and possibly his career. But never mind any of that. Yay, we won by fifty. Thibs is the best. Giant fucking foam finger. (This is sarcasm, BTW.)
Michal Jordan Scottie Pippen Those guys didn't rest much. Nobody complained about PJax' rotations. How about a more recent superstar? LeBron. Fire all the coaches! (that's sarcasm, too)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199606120SEA.html Both teams' starters played 41+ minutes in a 21 point blowout.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199806070CHI.html 42 point win Pippen, Kukoc, and Jordan all played more minutes than any bulls player did last night.
Ideally, one game shouldn't tilt the scales. Besides, as I'm sure you'll understand, oftentimes one game...or 10 games...or 100 games won't change agenda-driven posters' POVs.
"54 points" "but... if we played X, we might have..." "might have what? won by 55? won by 10?" "well, I just want Thibs to go away so my favorite player can play, winning be damned."
"Thibs played Noah too many minutes, and we were so far ahead" "Thibs played Noah way less than usual, less than other teams play their players in blowouts" "But playing Noah when it doesn't count is only asking for an injury" "He could get injured in practice, so maybe they shouldn't practice? In fact, he missed 20 games this year on a restricted minutes regimen." "But playing Noah and Gasol together doesn't work!" "54 points." (It obviously does work)
