The Bulls are on a 3 game losing streak.. . now is the time to rebound against a bad team.


Atlanta is likely coasting it to the finish line because no one is catching them.

Just a fyi - ATL rested 3 of their starters entire game and were still up 16 by halftime. Then 76ers held ATL to 30 pts the entire 2nd half and came out with a win.

76ers aren't bad at home either, but i think Bulls have more than enough to overcome them.

Well Bulls are down 3 of their top 4/5 scorers so pretty much the same thing right? Gasol should tear them up for 30 by the half and in theory we should win easily. But...who really knows anymore?

that was an off day for the Hawks as they rested several players

Sixers caught them by surprise who had added motive because the Hawks are the best team in the east and 2 they disrespected them by thinking it would be easy and resting players

So? Isn't Philly trying to lose anyway? Why else would they trade their best player away?

With the lottery the way it is, Philly just has to get in the bottom 4.

Right now they're the 2nd worst team.

True...and we all know the actual worst team never gets the #1 pick. Or rarely does if you want to be technical.

MCW was trash with the Sixers tbh

i'll give him a 2nd chance because after all Sixers had no players on the roster that were NBA caliber

but if you looked at his efficiency with them you pretty much got what you would get if Hinrich was your #1 option

I think Hinrich would actually be more efficient as he can make a higher percentage of FTs and 3s. Of course...he'd have to actually shoot FTs for that part to matter. :elephant:

his TS% was 44 which is awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwful
he also had a 88 otrg which is again awful

but since he has went to the Bucks he has upped his TS percentage to 55 and had a otrg of 104 so hes been much better....although turnovers are still a huge problem for him

It's happened 4 times.. though the first two times the lottery was a very different system.

In 2003 it happened for the first time ever as Cleveland tanked their season away to increase their odds of getting LeBron James, who wished to go to Cleveland fueling more lottery conspiracies. The further conspiracy is the league did it again the next year to help justify it lolol.

There is a case for a lottery conspiracy every season though.

2014-Cleveland really needs to be rebuilt
2013-Cleveland really needs to be rebuilt'
2012-Franchise just got new owners after we the NBA owned it!
2011-We feel bad for Cleveland, but we don't want their own pick to be the #1 so make it the other 1st round pick they own through LAC
2010-We haven't heard a lick of this franchise since Jordan ran it into the ground.
2009-Tired fo the Clippers being so bad
2008-Bulls are a good team and piece away from contending. Keep Derrick Rose at home
2007-I'm David Stern and I'm mad at teams like the Celtics tanking away from Oden and Durant so I'm going to award the #1 and #2 picks to teams who tried all season but just sucked
2006-This draft is pointless, give the #1 pick to Canada.
2005-I really don't have a conspiracy here
2004-Already stated above
2003-LeBron James
2002-Yao Ming must play in Asian friendly community. Houston it is!
2001-Jordan is coming back, we must award his team the #1 pick so his team is good
2000-Another pointless draft, give it to the shithole known as New Jersey
1999-Bulls just lost their championship team, let em rebuild!
1998-So tired of this franchise sucking
1997-Boston tanked the season away; lets award it to a team that will immediate use Duncan to make them contenders since they already have DRob.

I'd keep going but I"m tired.

Well he's not a good shooter at all so that plays a lot into it. It seems like Kidd has him playing more to his strengths in Milwaukee which is helping. That and he has teammates who can actually play. He probably doesn't have to throw up as much crap as he did in Philly.

MCW is awesome, does everything well, except shooting. And it's not like his shot is so bad, that it wont get better. I'm glad he's not in Philly any more. The problem is, he's now playing for our next rival.

Seriously...that is a long armed team with him and the Greek Freak. If Sanders still cared about basketball they'd be a dang good defensive team.
