Miami made it to the NBA Finals and the Bulls pushed them to the limit, maybe the Bulls are not as bad as we think they are, maybe they are not as far away as we think? I think that the Bulls were the biggest challange that the Heat had to face on their way to the Finals, maybe with addition of a big man who is better than Tyson, Sweetney or Malik Allen the Bulls might be able to reach greatness?

I had the same thought OG Fan. The Bulls did push the heat harder then both the Nets and the Pistons. But lets not kid ourselves. I think the heat just improved as the playoffs went on.

Yeah, the Bulls are only a Joe Przbylla away from winning the NBA championship.

Are you guys serious?

As soon as Miami decided it wanted to play, the Bulls went bye-bye. The Bulls are below average at at least three positions--center, power forward, and shooting guard. That's hardly the defining feature of a championship contender. I'm afraid our team is several players away, and God only knows how many years, from returning to the Finals.

Oh, and by the way, taking a team to the 6th game of a best-of-7 game series hardly means you've pushed that opponent to "the limit".

Keep drinking the Bull Kool-Aid, though. And don't worry if it tastes a little like piss.

What are you talking about. I said OG's statement was off base. I'd take the pistons and Nets roster over ours. We did play the Heat well in 4 of the 6 games. Winning 2. But I know the heat didn't take us serious.

Sorry Beardown, my comment was meant more for OG's #1 than you, although your comment confused me a little since you seemed to be both agreeing and disagreeing with him.

Anyway, I am hearing that the Bulls are "close" a lot these days and that opinion drives me crazy. The Bulls are a well-coached team that's long on intangibles and short on talent. They don't have one perimeter guy who can consistently finish at the hoop or one inside guy who can post-up with authority. I like their effort, but you need effort and talent to win big in the NBA.

Not a Joe Przbylla but maybe a LaMarcus Aldrige, I think the Bulls, with the addition of a big man might be able to reach the conference finals next year versus the Cavs. Think about it, the Heat are old and the Pistons can be beaten. Bulls vs. Cavs is the Eastern Conference Finals and Cavs win it in 6 games.

I meant that the Bulls played the Heat harder then the Pistons and the Nets. That does not mean they have more talent then those teams.

O.K., I will think about it....now after having thought about it I can say with some certainty that you are wrong on both counts.

Obviously you didn't because the Pistons were just beaten by the Heat and the Heat are old. Wade is young but Shaq is old, Walker is old, White Chocolate is old, Payton is old, Zo is old and Posey is almost at an old age, if you want I could post there ages for you. The heat do not have enough in the tank for one more season.

Go ahead and post them. At the same time post the ages for the Bulls starters in the 5th year of their 6 championship years.

Oh, and how does the Heat beating the Pistons translate to the Pistons being beatable for the Bulls.

I'll do it for the last Bulls title

Jordan-36

Pippen-34

Rodman-37

Kerr-34

Harper-35

Good point...dolphin.

Longley was about as valuable to that team as I was. Kerr at least hit some big three's. That's why I left out the big Ausi.

Now OG, all you have to do is subtract one from the above. Then post the Heat's ages and do your little comparison. I think you will see that while the may be relatively old, they are certainly not too old to contend for the next few years.

$8000.00 for 2 season tickets in Row 1, Section 234

would like to see more than great hustle this year

Hey OG's #1 Fan:

I'm sure you noticed that the Mavericks won as many games against the Heat as the Bulls did. I guess that means that the Bulls would've finished first or second in the West if they played in that conference, right?
