não o estou a crucificar :lol: só estava a dizer, para quem não está a ver o jogo.

 

eu só comecei a ver no 4th quarter a 2min do fim.

[Trakina]

Este Len dos Suns parece ter muito potencial. Já contra o Wizards esteve muito bem.

[Shai]

ui, porrada

[Grillo]

Este Len dos Suns parece ter muito potencial. Já contra o Wizards esteve muito bem.

E finalmente o Hornacek percebeu que a equipa rende muito melhor com ele do que com o Plumlee

Lakers :lol:

 

Continuam assim e ainda ficam em 8º no Oeste :mrgreen:

[Grillo]

Epá, é incrível, os Lakers até ali aos 2 mins para acabar o jogo estavam a atirar a 58%. Sempre que os Dubs tentavam fazer uma run levavam com uns dois ou três triplos em cima que ficavam logo outra vez f*didos.

 

Claro que hoje que eu apostei contra os Pacers e contra os Lakers é que o Hibbert e os Lakers se decidem lembrar que o desporto que praticam é o basquetebol :lol:

Miami f*deu me bem

Bulls' Derrick Rose seals deal against Wizards with a flourish

 

Derrick Rose is not one to gloat, but he could not contain himself after nailing a jumper Tuesday night that all but clinched the Bulls' stirring 99-91 victory over the Wizards.

 

"I never celebrate," he said. "My emotions just came out."

 

After knocking in a 20-footer that put the Bulls ahead 94-87 with less than two minutes to play, Rose skipped back to the bench, exaggerating each step and arm movement.

 

"He has his swag back," Mike Dunleavy said. "He's doing it in the fourth quarter against really good teams. It's good to see that look on his face and the look in his eyes."

 

After dominating the game's final seven minutes Monday night against the Raptors, Rose doubled up in the nation's capital.

 

But first he bore witness to an impressive show from John Wall, who scored 10 points in the Wizards' 12-0 surge. Wall's heroics drew "MVP!" chants from fans at the Verizon Center, especially when the Kentucky product knocked down a 20-foot jumper to put his team ahead 87-86.

 

Then Rose swung the vote back in his direction.

 

"He's a good player; everyone knows what he is capable of," Rose said of Wall. "You saw two people go at it tonight."

 

Said Thibodeau: "Both are dynamic, hard to guard and unselfish. Both make the right play."

 

Rose and his teammates started slowly before exacting revenge on the team that knocked them out of the playoffs in April.

 

That Bulls team, of course, had no Rose or Pau Gasol. Or, for that matter, Aaron Brooks or Nikola Mirotic. And this was before Jimmy Butler blossomed into a star.

 

In that season-ender at the United Center, the Bulls scored just 69 points.

 

"With Jimmy, it's like having three new players," Dunleavy said, referencing Rose and Gasol. "Maybe (it was revenge) for some of us who played on that team last year. But it was more about taking the challenge, continuing this good play on the road."

 

The Bulls improved to 13-4 away from Chicago, where they returned after the game.

 

"It's real," Joakim Noah said. "The Chicago Bulls are getting healthy. The sky's the limit for this team. It's going to be a special year."

 

Noah had to guard Wall for several plays in the fourth quarter, a big on a small with some of the quickest feet in the league.

 

Wall got his, but he also missed a jumper during the Bulls' game-closing 13-4 stretch.

 

"You're trying to keep the ball out of the paint and you don't want to open up the 3," Thibodeau said of the strategy. "That's the strength of having Joe and Taj (Gibson). They can guard smalls on the perimeter, at least have great body position and great feet."

 

The larger story, though, was Rose, and his brilliant play down the stretch.

 

"It's big," he said, "but at the same time I know where I will be in a couple of months. You all will be surprised by the way I'm going to play."

 

[Wembanyama]

Varejão out for the season.

[Jonas F]

[rozas]

Pelo que consta, o que levou o J. Smith a vir para Houston foi a promessa de um lugar no 5 inicial. Portanto devemos com algo do género: Beverley - Harden - Ariza - Smith - Howard, com o D-Mo a ser o 6th Man.

[Pat Riley]

Não vai resultar.

[pedrituh_9]

Bem feito, é capaz de resultar bem.

[Lip McBoatface]

Eu tenho o D-Mo no fantasy, m*rda.

[Carmelo Anthony]

Eu tenho o D-Mo no fantasy, m*rda.

 

Nunca mais escolho jogadores dos Rockets! Nunca são capazes de dar uma informação precisa em termos de lesões e actualizações está quieto! O Howard era para estar uma semana de fora, acabou por ficar um mês. O Terrence Jones não tem timetable. O Beverly esteve durante semanas day-to-day... Oh crap!

Happy Holidays: Top 5 Bulls' Christmas Day games

 

The Bulls are 11-7 in Christmas Day games in franchise history.

 

Here, in chronological order, are the Tribune’s nominations for the five most memorable games. Proving how difficult this selection process became, the 1993 and 1994 vintages got lumped together, thanks to Scottie Pippen.

 

1966: New York Knicks 133, Chicago Bulls 132

The Bulls played on Christmas Day in their inaugural season, long before the NBA made such games an extravaganza. Bob Boozer’s 40 points included a perfect 10-for-10 from the free-throw line. But even Erwin Mueller’s 27 points and 18 apiece from Jerry Sloan and Guy Rodgers couldn’t save Johnny Kerr’s squad from falling to 14-24 in New York en route to being the only expansion team to make the playoffs. Walt Bellamy’s 29 points led the Knicks.

 

1986: New York Knicks 86, Chicago Bulls 85

 

Patrick Ewing ruined the Bulls’ first Christmas Day game in a decade, rebounding Trent Tucker’s miss and burying a 10-foor jumper at the buzzer. According to Tribune beat writer Bob Sakamoto’s game story, coach Doug Collins “walked onto the (Madison Square Garden) court and stood under the Bulls’ basket, arms folded. He stared straight ahead in a defiant pose, as if refusing to accept defeat, then sat on the bench for about five minutes before retiring to the locker room.” Collins later said, “I’m a competitor and I was really disappointed. We had the game won.” Indeed, Dave Corzine’s three-point play and forcing Tucker’s miss made it almost so. Ewing finished with 28 points and 17 rebounds, outdueling Michael Jordan, who shot 10-for-28 for his 30 points with six turnovers.

 

1990: Chicago Bulls 98, Detroit Pistons 86

 

Behind Michael Jordan’s 37 points and 15 from John Paxson, the Bulls avenged a 21-point road loss from six days earlier against the defending NBA championship. Horace Grant, replaced in the starting lineup by Stacey King, got ejected late for throwing a punch at Joe Dumars, revving an already raucous Chicago Stadium crowd. Jordan fouled Isiah Thomas hard late, aggravating an eye injury and sending Thomas to the bench for good. It was the lone game on the NBA’s schedule.

 

1993: Chicago Bulls 95, Orlando Magic 93

 

 

Setting the tone for the memorable season following Michael Jordan’s stunning retirement, Toni Kukoc sank a running one-hander with two seconds left to cap his 11-point fourth quarter. The victory marked the Bulls’ ninth straight in a 10-game win streak. Scottie Pippen, who played the entire 48 minutes, wowed the Chicago Stadium crowd with 28 points and several highlight-worthy plays. That the victory came just 21/2 months after Jordan’s retirement gives it a slight nod over the wild 1994 Christmas Day home victory. In that crazy 107-104 overtime win, John Starks got ejected, Pete Myers drew a technical for taunting and Pippen scored all seven points in overtime to finish with 36 overall. Playing all 53 minutes, Pippen bailed out Steve Kerr, whose mental error of batting Anthony Mason’s pass to Hubert Davis led to Davis burying a 3-pointer with four-tenths of a second left to force overtime.

 

2011: Chicago Bulls 88, Los Angeles Lakers 87

It’s not often a season-opener also doubles as a Christmas Day showcase. But following the five-month NBA lockout, reigning most valuable player Derrick Rose sank a 9-foot floater in the lane with 4.8 seconds left. That capped a comeback from 11 points down with 3 minutes, 44 seconds remaining at Staples Center, featuring Luol Deng’s steal against Kobe Bryant to set up Rose’s game-winner and Deng’s exclamation point of blocking Bryant at the buzzer after Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson slowed Bryant with defensive help. Rose finished with 22 points after a scoreless first quarter. “We’re always going to play to the end,” Deng said.

Que espirito de equipa reina nessa franchise....um colega de equipa a ser completamente rodeado pelos adversários, e os jogadores dos Knicks a cagarem-se completamente para ele, fosse para o ir defender, fosse para o ir afastar ou acalmar.

 

A (falta) de atitude do Carmelo então é sintomática de como nao tem estaleca nenhuma de liderança. Que noob.

 

Mas gostei de ver. Adoro ver os Knicks nesta situação.

[Carmelo Anthony]

Ho Ho Ho é o espírito natalício! O Mary a fazer um post em que não fala dos Bulls xD
