The Miami Heat are practically Chicago's second NBA team thanks to this show.

I still chuckle that they took out his calling out of Phil Emery's Long draft pick from the open.

I understand this whole "Must have a 2nd big time scorer" theory. I just don't fully agree. You need guys that can hit shots, play defense and commit to a play called. Deng, Noah, Butler, Dunleavy, Hinrich and Boozer will execute the play and have shown an ability to finish when necessary. None of them can "get their's" on their own, but the quality of the sum of the parts make that point less important than it was in the past.

I think that if the Heat decided they were going to double Rose once he crossed half court, or throw Lebron on him, the Bulls can now move the ball and have the second guard run the plays to attack the Heat's weakest link. The Bulls didn't have that option last year or in 2010. I guess I could be overestimating the team's parts, but I don't think so. A healthy Rose on the court is an incredible game changer even if he doesn't shoot/score.

I wish the Bulls could have afforded Kevin Martin.

I am by no means a basketball sage but this goes to my theory. I'd rather have 5 guys average 20 then 2 go for 35 each and nothing else. Simplistic and not possible sure but I still like team basketball better than this guy get theirs.

Go ahead and let Lebron on Rose and shut him down. Butler and Dunleavy will make that invalid Wade pay. Dallas and San Antonio have proven this. Sure Spurs came up short but trust me Miami got scared.

You said that before, and no...neither scenario is possible. The "two guys who score 35" is another typical exaggeration of anti-NBA people who don't watch the sport. No team has that (or 5 guys who average 20). Most winning teams have one star, one second option, and several talented guys.

EDIT: And having a star who can score doesn't mean that team ball isn't being played. In most cases it is. You think Miami and OKC don't play team ball? Show me an elite NBA team that doesn't.

I see your point. My exaggeration is thinking that it is possible for the Bulls to be very good with distributed scoring. If they had a great 2nd score fine but 4-5 all doing decent is not terrible. IDK I said I am no expert but I was also bugged that Bernsie always cries about not have the #2 making his own shot etc.

I caught the end of the show today when Terry was talking about Joel Osteen being at his house and Dan inquired if Monsieur Osteen was caring for Terry's monkeys. The exchange was light-hearted and amusing and reminded me of when the show was much more enjoyable.

The problem with his thinking is that he argues as if Miami is this juggernaut and the rest of the league is just crap Bulls included. It doesnt jive with reality. It is way too simplistic of an argument and any one who really watches the NBA knows it. It is one of the reason that I believe that the score doesn't resort to actually having real experts. They would tear that flimsy argument to shreds. Miami was one Ray Allen three point shot away from losing last year. San Antonio by all accounts was not a great team. The argument always resorts to they have Lebron James and you don't. If that were the determinant factor then why did he leave Cleveland?

Sunday, I was sitting with a big time hockey guy who was dividing up his Bulls season tickets during the Bears game commercials. Our consensus was that "The great LBJ and indomitable Heat" were a pair of questionable Greg Popvich coaching decisions away from losing to the Spurs in the championship. Why both Tim Duncan or Tony Parker were sitting at crucial junctions of regulation and overtime remains unfathomable.

I caught a few minutes of the showgram Tuesday and noted Bernstein's compulsive Heat lickage and Bulls dismissal, and wondered if Terry gives a shit anymore? Before I could answer I was listening to baseball.
