I will ask again, what have the Heat done this season to prove that they are definitively better than the Bulls? They don't have the better record and they've lost the head to series including a game in Miami w/o Rose. But we are just supposed to believe it and if you don't you are an idiot, a moron and someone who needs to "turn on the TV". Well, I have turned on the TV and I don't see a Heat team that is definitively better than the Bulls.
Bernstein's position (which I agree with) is that the play-offs are much different than the regular season. The Bulls are a very good regular season team because they play hard every game and they are deep - which is all the more evident in this compressed season. In the play-offs every team plays hard & the rotation is shortened - thus negating 2 of the Bulls strengths. The ability to implement a focused defensive game plan during a play-off series puts a premium on scorers - an area where the Bulls lack consistency.

That said, I still see the Bulls as one of the top 3 teams in the league and they should be able to reach the conference finals again. They are well coached, play solid defense and generally out-rebound the opponents. I would love nothing more than for them to beat the Heat...but I wouldn't bet on it.


Zippy, I get that, but the playoffs haven't even begun yet so all we have to go off of is the regular season. And according to BernSTINE the regular season is meaningless, no tries hard to win, you can't tell anything from it etc...so how does he know for a fact that the Heat are the better team this season? The whole point is that BernSTINES assertion that the Heat are the clearly superior team is based on regular season performance and BernSTINE continually tells the unwashed masses that the regular season is meaningless and shows you nothing.

And I agree, the playoffs are a different beast entirely, no argument from me there.

The problem is Bernstein wants it both ways


Bulls win-So what

Bulls lose- Exposed

Heat win- Evidence of their dominance over the human race

Heat lose- They werent trying

Here's the Tuesday game plan with Terry & Dan B.:

*3:30p: "The Second Half"
*TBA: Sun-Times Columnist (Ozzie's Friend?) Joe Cowley


"Scoreboard Updates": Matt Rodewald
Producers: Matt Abbatacola & Jason Goff

Terry's "two favorite words in show business", Laurence "Mr. Multimedia" Holmes, follows the guys at 6p for only 35 minutes once again in advance of Orioles/White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. Chris Rongey's pregame from the ballpark starts at 6:35p on the Chicago White Sox Radio Network. "SCORE Overnight" with Les Grobstein and also featuring Adam Harris follows Ranger's "Xfinity Postgame". When that'll be...Who knows?

BernSTINE telling us that "his guy" says Derrick "looks terrible" while walking...

I hope that "inside info" turns out to be as accurate as the last time he got his "super secret info" from "His Guy" concerning D-Rose.

More Hawk drops!

For what it's worth, K.C. Johnson reported something similar on M&H this morning.

*Gasp* Could BernSTINE not be talking out of his ass this time?

On a serious note, these injuries do have me worried. They seem too be piling up on important body parts for no apparent reason.

God, that guy is terrible

His voice is annoying, he's a terrible reporter, he's not funny or interesting, and he hides big stories.


He should have been fired for not reporting the Vinny-Pax UFC fight

K.C. also indicated that his guy(S) said they wanted Rose to play...had to play. That is the Bulls mindset for Rose.

Oh definitely, without a doubt he should have been axed. He held on to a HUGE story and then got scooped by someone that wasn't even from Chicago. That's embarrassing for not only him but the newspaper as well. He's a jock sniffer.

But whatever.

All of these injuries, not just the Bulls' Derrick Rose, are also happening to other top stars from around the NBA. The Lakers' Kobe Bryant might be out yet again tonight with a shin injury (?) when they host the Spurs this eve in the second game of an NBA/TNT twinbill that starts with Celtics/Knicks. I think these injuries, while they are concerning, are also the direct result of this crammed NBA schedule that can't end fast enough in my opinion. In a regular NBA 82-game sked, I'm not so sure Bryant, Rose and other top stars around the league would be missing as many games as they have.

In Derrick's case, I was a little confused regarding his latest setback. I thought it was his right foot as well, but listening to the Bulls Radio Network broadcast up the dial, Chuck Swirsky & Bill Wennington said it was the right ankle, and on NBA TV's continuous crawl, I noticed DNP (right ankle) as they showed the Wizards' 87-84 final during "GameTime" this morning. Hmmm...

According to everything I've read, the latest injury isn't believed to be serious. That being said, I wouldn't be shocked if Derrick Martell Rose sits out the Charlotte game tomorrow night and if he's good to go, he plays in Miami Thursday night. All of a sudden, that game means something in the race for the #1 seed in the East, which is now no longer a sure thing.

Huh?

So Rodman being out for 2 weeks for kicking a cameraman in the dick is different than being out for 2 weeks with an injury?

Is he on the floor? No? There is no difference.

What was that? I thought Dennis Rodman got suspended for kicking that cameraman in the nuts up in Minnesota over a decade ago...

Blackhawks breaking news is once again making their hockey ignorance glow. I understand, they've never given a rats ass about hockey, but still...c'mon.

Way over their ski's with the hockey talk.

Listen, fellas, if you don't crib your thoughts from ESPN, Eddie O. or some well-written column by a guy that knows what he's talking about.....just don't talk hockey.

They are really missing the point of about depth which is a central reason the Blackhawks won the their most recent Stanley Cup.

Hockey brings that out, they both kind of revert into their bad habits.

The hour after the Shaw announcement was so bad. Get Rozner on for his reaction. Jay. Pulford. Anyone. Please.

Having Rozner on would undermine their control of the narrative.

Lately I've been noting my PTFB moment in their show. I don't always know the exact time and yes, sometimes I inadvertently switch/click back. Today, according to DB, pro basketball expert/guru:
Exhibition season means nothing (except the opportunity to predict a team to be bad).
Regular season means nothing (except confirming a team is bad & won't do well in playoffs).
First round of playoffs mean nothing as the team with the best talent wins.

This is when I PTFB because the leap of logic was too much.

Of course, I got into my car and the radio was on when the discussion got around to hockey and the Shaw suspension. Their ignorance of the ramifications are what first struck me, then:

It isn't an intellectual approach to hockey, but an elitist's approach with a foundation based upon entrenched ignorance. Said elitism also creeps into basketball. As a listener, one can take the same approach to the media in general and sports radio in particular.

I'm an elite, I PTFB.
