Oh that's right, you guys didn't try in games 4 & 5, that's why we won...
You lost the series that's all I care about. Do you really want to argue about last years playoffs? You really have nothing to argue about.

He's the typical role player in college that makes it to the NBA as a rookie but eventually drops out.

It was funny, he has a wide open lane to the basket, then just jogged with the ball, and got his junk thrown...

What is there to get..
Umm... To start, you said that you went unchallenged in the playoffs by us, yet the series went six games. Whether the series started out 3-0 or 2-2, the series still was a game away from going seven, so I'm not sure how much of a cake walk you can really make it out to be. Second off, I never said anything like we should have won the series, so I'm not really sure where you are coming from, with me trying to argue about last years playoffs. I never said we should have won, never said anything like that. You need to learn how to take things for what they are, and not twist things.

Well now it's a new season and right now it looks like you may not make the Playoffs.
Again, something that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about... But if you really want to go there, do you know anything about the Bulls? Answer that question and then I'll get back to you on this stupid comment. What are we 20 games into the season? LOL

And at 20 games into a season a team should have it's indenity and they should know how to win games. And if there not winning now then they will have to do something to win like adjust lineups or make a trade and you'll prolly have to make a trade to get something going(just like the Heat).
Put it this way the Heat and the Bulls are the 2 biggest dissapointing teams in the League a lot of people picked the Bulls to be like 3rd in the east but your close to last.

But the Bulls do have a better chance a making the playoffs then the Heat.

There is no point in watching Sacramento without Kevin Martin.

Well, you just proved to me that you really don't follow basketball, because if you did, you'd know the Bulls also start slowly. This is nothing new, they started 0-9 a few years ago, yet were able to come back and make the playoffs. They also have terrible Novembers, get back to me when we are at the end of the year and the Bulls are right where we thought they would be.

Well tell ya what I do follow Basketball.
But I can care less about how the Bulls start.
I want to see them in the playoffs but they need to start clicking there just playing like crap.

43 points, to go along with 9 assists

Rudy Gay in the same game tied his career high with 31 points.

Hornets won 118-116. CP3 hit the game winner with 1.8 left

LOL - You don't get it either... The Bulls are 3-1 in December... Just don't even bother looking at November, because they always play like crap in that month. Right now, this team has won 2 games in a row (4 out of it's last 5) and just beat one of the better teams in the East. I'm not sure how that is playing like crap, but whatever you say...

The players are not clicking the way they should they are pretty much the same team as last year so why start slow?
The Magic added a player and they are rolling the Pistons are pretty much the same as well but we aren't playing like crap on a consitint basis like the Bulls.

All I'm saying is they may not have the best chances at making the Playoffs unless they get on like a steady pace.
