Celtics going to get PUNKED if they make it past miami. Coach Thibodeau is going to payback Doc Rivers for all that SHIT he's been talking.



Celtics think they are clutch but Chicago Bulls are way more clutch than the Celtics this year. Derrick Rose takes over at the end of games and our defense locks teams offense the fuck down. Its how we've won 62 games. Hell, since the all star break the bulls have only lost 4 games! WE'VE ONLY LOST 4 GAMES SINCE THE ALL STAR BREAK! HOW YOU GOING TO BEAT US 4 IN JUST 7?

you may be full of shit, but i'll be damned if you aren't cute.

But on a serious note, nobody on the Bulls has ever done anything really clutch. Ever.

Pierce, Allen, now Garnett, even Rondo...bask in that clutch and hope some bounces off and hits you

Without talking any shit, I think it will be interesting to see how good of a head coach Thibs really is...Truth be told, I've always really liked him. He's part of the family and he helped bring home a championship. He's definitely a defensive guru. On some level, I have to root for him and his Celtics blood.

ALl that being said, I don't think he's a championship head coach yet. But we'll find out i gess

Rose is second behind kobe. But kobe's time is almost up. Anthony is 9th. Rose > Anthony in the clutch. Rose > anyone on Boston in the clutch.

If you sort it by points. If you sort it by +/- the Bulls have 2 of the top 10 clutch players. If you sort by fg% the bulls have 2 of the top 10 clutch palyers. You get my point. Bulls are the most clutch team in the east. You can argue that dallas is more clutch.



So soon you forget.

One year does not prove clutchness..besides, true clutchness will be shown in the playoffs, so we shall see what D Rose is made of. Though I will agree that spinning lay up he made in game 1 was very clutch. Same goes for Garnett's shot in game 2

[check two]

Maybe some other type of discussion in here would be good? Looks like the Mavs are proving some doubters wrong.

lol @ James Harden's beard

[Olive Oil Goombah]

this is hilarious...ahahahha!


this years bulls are last years cavs.

defensive minded head coach (mike brown) from a successful team (spurs) just solidified it.



Rose has looked like a real sharpshooter from 3 distance this postseason....lemme tell ya...bwahahaha

[RUSHING PLATYPUS]

^^^Reaching much?

[Olive Oil Goombah]

not at all.....its like the exact same thing. At least LeBron led the Cavs to the Finals once and made it out of the first round.


you trying to sell me on Luol Deng.......LOL.

[anthonyallred]

Toronto Raptors!! 2011/2012 going 2 be a good season!

[check two]

? lol

[Sense-A]

I'll sell you on Luol Deng. I don't know why you are hating. Have you seen his game or his numbers?



A true rag to riches story. A humble leader. Luol Deng is THE guy who we use to guard Kobe, Lebron, Paul Peirce, Carmelo, Granger, Igoudala, and every star forward in the league. And he usually does a good fucking job. If he gets us 20pts per game on the offensive end? That's just a plus!

Deng is good for 17pts per game, and he is good for 48 minutes. Luol deng does not feel fatigue. Guys from his part of the world are born to run. He is agile on Defense and defense is the most grueling part of playing basketball and takes up most of a players energy. He is top 10 in the NBA in minutes played.

He shoots a reliable 46% and makes more than one out of every three 3pointers he shoots.

The game is on NBA tv tonight early game starts at 7pm

anyone else think that indiana pacer foster looks like tim curry?

[Olive Oil Goombah]

dude...ive seen deng since duke.

he was overhyped and was a victim of the hype machine.

he is a solid pro...no more than that.

i never said the man sucked.


what i have always contended was that if he was your sidekick, or one of your key parts......than you are in trouble if winning a championship is your goal.



so yes, you stick with Deng, i'll put my money on Pierce, James, and Kobe.

[whitey]

Bulls..again...keeping it close with the pacers. Who have no superstar, only a bunch of hard workers. If they had a finisher they might be dangerous. Bron shoulda went to indiana!
