SIRcumalot:Wade has always done a number on James, stretching back to Heat - Cavs (pre & post James) and now Bulls - Cavs. You know all these already, don't cha? |

what are we going to say when this same Cavs team without J.R goes a 10-2 run ? i sincerely hope when the playoff begins we won't get the same IT and derozan that we saw last post-season. |

| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:36pm On Jan 26, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:Referring to the regular season man. Besides we know the Cavs would tank the bulls in the playoffs, that's if the bulls get in ffs. The 1st comment was just to snitch on the 'better than the rest' Cavs supporters. |

Wade and Butler have to stop the public dissing of teammates. While losses hurt, the leaders of the team are supposed to address these issues in the locker room. Even when you question the dedication of your team mates it should be done in the locker room. Remember, the bulk of the Bulls are young inexperienced players, they need that support from players like Wade and Butler. Both have been terrible by their own standards, Butler's defense has regressed enormously, his offense has not been steady either. Wade's numbers have also declined, you may argue he is not getting young, however, if you are going to call out the whole team in public and on social media then you should do some self appraisal. I think Wade and Butler are indirectly calling out F. Hoiberg and would ultimately force the management to make Fred's seat hot. |

Eruditor:Kay Felder has a promising future ahead of him. In fact, I see him playing like Isaiah Thomas in the future. The question is Can he play as a backup PG in the finals against a team like GSW / SAS? Can he stand in for Kyrie in case of injury as Mo Williams did? The GM himself said the team needs a play-maker, we don't need to question how he's going to do it. Remember that he knows a lot more about the organization's position and finances than we do. Our defense is messy right now but I bet the Coaching staff know about that as well. Data show we've been losing because of our carelessness with the ball. Last night, We turned the ball over 18times which led to 19points for SAC. So, We've got bigger problems than just our defense |

sapiosexual1:[color=#808000]Still take East as a one team conference. Cavs 6 of 8 losses have been to the West. Cavs have a better h2h against the Eastern top teams this season The Celtics and Raptors have lost games they shouldn't too Last night was obvious that Kyrie and Lebron need to work on themselves. Their offense is great but they tend to veer off and lose points. How can a player averaging 90% on free throws for the season miss a clinching FT? How can your best player lose ball in clutch time for 2 straight games? Not even that, his turnovers this month has been really high Kyrie shows up way too late for a game, to do what? Make the L respectful? Would admit his improved defense though. Cavs almost always lose the game in the 1st half. They don't have the versatility of Warriors that can close a 20 point gap within 5mins. And last Ooh Mpa remembered, they were impressive prior to meeting Warriors. Their stats were better than last season without the "backup Playmaker". So what suddenly changed for them? Cavs hardly choke and once they get TB Joshua to shake off that 1st half juju, everything samankue #Salud[/color] |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Muna15: 7:29pm On Jan 26, 2017 |
lolawilliams:I'm not saying we need a PG for defense. We need a PG in order to take some load off LeBron cos he's expending so much energy right now and that could hurt us in the Playoffs/Finals. The team can play defense with or without a PG. As for TT, I think we need to question khloe for his recent inactiveness on the court. ![]() |

Teammate Tristan Thompson was outspoken Thursday in saying that, ultimately, it falls on the players to improve. "I think we all got to be better," Thompson said. "You know, LeBron is the leader on the team. He's going to make his comments. At the end of the day, we all got to play better from the top to bottom. Players got to play better; we got to prepare. Everyone. "Everyone that's part of this journey -- coaches -- we all got to be better. Everyone has got to take a step forward and just be 1 percent better. So LeBron's comments is what it is."

Roland17:“My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn’t pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn’t take days off. My vets didn’t care about their numbers. My vets played for the team. When we lost, they wouldn’t blame us. They took responsibility and got in the gym. They showed the young guys what it meant to work. Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus. They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn’t have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn’t change the plan because it didn’t work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable. It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can’t win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I’m not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don’t deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it’s the leadership.” WORRRRRDDDDD!!!!!!!!! R. Rondo just shared my earlier sentiments about Butler and Wade. The NBA is filled with bad leadership, locker room leaders who are selfish and have a sense of entitlement. |

OohMpa:D.Wade is stupid for this. For him not to reason he's stupid as hell. what is "assist hunt"? Is it a title or what? He and Butler needs to shut the fúck up acting like a leader on media and behave like one in the locker room, same goes to LeBron calling out Felder and Liggins |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 5:05am On Jan 27, 2017 |
SmooshCHN:you need to really watch Rondo to understand. he passes up on really high quality shots,even layups just to get his assist numbers up. this Chicago bulls team dey implode and everybody get hand for the matter. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 5:09am On Jan 27, 2017 |
OohMpa:you never want Rondo on your team,that guy has been on a downward spiral since he left Celtics. all that numbers on the kings was just "good stats bad team type thing" his probably going to China after his time with the bulls. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:02am On Jan 27, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:I am unequivocally refuting your perspective. While Rondo may be a hot head with a questionable style of play in today's NBA, Wade and Butler are trying to deflect issue. Rondo has not been in the line up for a while and when he does make the team he rarely finishes games. So how did this become all about Rondo? Wade was recruited to Chicago for his leadership and experience, how do you call out your team mates on social media and interviews? Rondo was only looking out for the young and inexperienced players on the roster who are bearing the brunt of the disappointment the Bulls have become. After games, these reporters crowd the big boys for interviews, they are not crowding Grant, McDermott, Mitrovic, Valentine, Felicio, MCW or even Bobby Portris. Those are opportunities for the big boys to deflect and stand up for their teams and not throw young kids under the bus!!! If you seriously think Rondo is the problem with the Bulls, then you are not watching the bulls closely. What has butler brought to this team after last season? he became a 2 way player, however, his defense has regressed and he suffered a shooting slump for 2 straight months. Butler is the reason Deng was traded, a reason D. Rose was let go (Even though Rose did not help his cause). The big boys have to stand up for their teams and address issues like adults. look at what Westbrook is doing with the Thunder despite the criticism and a poor roster in the western conference. Yet you never hear him talk crap about his team mates on interviews or social media. Wade and Butler are disappointments and these are leaders young american kids look up to for mentoring. |

Roland17:Am not absolving butler,wade or anybody from the matter. Just that Rondo is no angel. He already had his beef with the team before this issue and two teams already gave up on him. If we agree that Wade calling out the bulls roster out,aside from Butler and himself was Bad,how is Rondo counter Any better ? (Abi is Rondo not also a Vet with championship experience) Seems to me,his just as guilty of the same offence but instead of "effort and performance"he questioned their "leadership" on the same platform. If Wade included Rondo as one of the great performs on the Bulls,Rondo probably won't be playing this "white knight card",he(Wade) probably couldn't sell that to the people with a straight face. |

| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 12:17pm On Jan 27, 2017 |
All parties involved in the Bulls' debacle are guilty as sin. Wade had a bad previous game but I did not see him call himself out. Now he plays one good game and decides to call his teammmates out. That's just bad leadership. On the flipside, he is one player on that team that has had 12 All star years and 3 rings to show for it so he might have a case. Butler on the other hand is overrated. 6 years in the league and 3 All star places- what else? An Olympic medal but it has nothing to do with his NBA team so what is he on? He should STFU and achieve something before thinking he could throw his teammates under the bus. Noah, Rose and Deng have left the team for him and the Bulls still look like a$$. If he sees Wade talking in public he should have taken his own grouse to the dressing room not to come online and be using expletives like an ignoramus. As for Rajon, he too should have been the more mature vet and discussed with the teammates away from the media. Maybe he has forgotten he too is a vet with a ring to his resumé. For someone whose IQ may be the highest in the whole association, he sure does and says some stupid things for glory hunting. Perhaps, they are making their way out. Maybe Lebron wants to reconnect with Wade at Cavs because one never can tell with that crybaby and his posse. But they should all do some self-introspection before calling GMs or other players out. I do recall that LBJ opted out of his contract and was given something really heavy this pre season. I also remember he unfollowed most of the Cleveland and Cavs' media/journalists who weren't kissing his Butt before the playoffs kicked-off. Dude has a history of whining and acting like a diva till he gets what he wants. He has no excuse this time around. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:01pm On Jan 27, 2017 |
We told y'all this will happen with Chicago. Didn't Butler get into the limelight almost the same time has kwahi? Butler game has regressed while kwahi has improved tremendously on both ends of the floor. LeBron also took shots at those rookies the other day, this is what we are teaching kids now, whine till you get your way. Anyways, Na them Sabi. Like mynd44 rightly said, how are you greater or better than Jordn or Kobe and you always need help? I remembered that year Kobe went down, that lakers team stunk, that man worked his ass off just to get that team to the Playoffs. I can't remember any name callings anywhere, it's okay to say you want better players around you, but to go around saying you want more with love, tristan, and Kyrie? Ah why don't they just dash you the NBA ring let's call it a day |
