Nah, it's all good. Much better was an exaggeration, I guess, but I find those Detroit and Toronto teams truly horrible. And I'm a big fan of Varejão.

He's the Brazilian Joakim Noah. I like him, too.

I'm starting to wonder whether Deron Williams will become last year's Carmelo Anthony and get Avery Johnson fired. They guy is a shell of his Utah days, it seems, and is on a direct collision course with his coach. Very reminiscent of the Anthony-D'Antoni dynamic from last year (blaming the system, etc).

Seems to me that Deron Williams already had a carmelo-d'antoni moment, considering as he made Jerry Sloan want to quit basketball.

The Nets simply aren't that good, and Deron is not as good as he thinks he is.

So, apparently Lebron James hasn't been called for a foul in five straight games (and counting).

Edit: I honestly don't want this intended as a criticism of Lebron, who has been fantastic this year, but it's crazy that a guy who is as aggressive as he is on defense has not committed a foul in five games.

 

[Hewson]

It should be intended as a criticism, not of Lebron, but of NBA officials.

 

[gump]

Exactly.

Luke Walton just air-balled two wide-open threes in quick succession.

The Chris Bosh has the raisin balls.

Andrew Bynum is allowed to run. Can't wait till he's allowed to jump! These progress reports are so encouraging, you guys.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The score at halftime here at the United Center is Bulls 48 Hawks 20.

Yes, the Atlanta Hawks scored 20 fucking points in the first half.

Of an NBA game.

 

[Hewson]

5 Points in the 2nd quarter....impressive....most impressive.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This Heat/Lakers game is awesome.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Bulls playing their asses off lately without Luol.

Derrick is close to being cleared for FULL CONTACT.

Can't wait to see what this team becomes when he's back. Young guys like Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson growing up very quickly. Marco Belinelli serving well as the three point specialist off the bench. Really excited.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

JOAKIM!

Yesssssss. So happy for him. Stick stickity.

 

[PhilsFan]

Jrue made the team, so I guess that's cool.

 

[No spoken words]

Meh.
