The crazy thing is that he is right with his crazy projections often times, so maybe you'll be the one telling me I told you so 8 months from now. Of course if you are right, I will respectfully take some trash talk from you, being fellow Bulls fans and all . As long as the Bulls make it and DROSE lights up the league again, as I expect him to, then all will be right in my world .
But don't sleep on those Rockets, cause I'm telling you that they are tough as nails, and their D will be as good as ever next year, and if Tmac comes back at even 60% healthy (which I expect he will since he is rehabbing with the best Trainer in the US right now-Tim Grover who was MJ's trainer, and who trained DWADE to come back from his injury troubles, and who also trains Kobe Bryant), they will scare some teams next year.
GO BULLS!

im just a risk taker lol

yes rockets wit tmac can be good but they have no one in the paint, they are missing the big guy to get the rebounds, block shots and just make it difficult to score... witout yao rockets defense mean nothing.. he is a big factor and the main guy. without yao i dont care how good the rockets defense is they aren't going anywhere this year, so that's wat i think.

but yes most importantly GO BUUUUULLS!!!!!!!! and im also happy that raptors could do well this year





I feel bad for rose, we expect too much from him... very interesting article

Allen Iverson Belongs in Miami

We said it month ago, but it's worth saying again. Allen Iverson belongs in Miami.

Yes, he has flirted with the Clippers, Knicks, Grizzlies and even the Bobcats and Larry Brown. He has a big money offer waiting in Greece. Yet there isn't a team that needs him more -- and could help his reputation more -- than the Miami Heat.

It's why Pat Riley, according a recent report in the Miami Herald, has left the door open for him to walk through. It's a perfect match, and both sides know it. They're just doing the mating dance now, both sides waiting to see if the money is right.

The Heat have spent the last couple years juggling contracts and clearing salary cap space in anticipation of the free-agent class of 2010. They are better positioned than anyone to make it a jackpot summer by adding a second star like Chris Bosh and re-signing Dwyane Wade.

Yet it's going to be tough selling a fickle fan base that this season is just a write-off before it even begins. Without adding anyone significant, the Heat won't be any better than the middle-of-the-road, 43-win team they were a year ago when they overworked Wade, which is something they won't do again.

Iverson would be happy with a one-year deal -- leaving them their coveted cap space for next summer -- as long as it's a significant amount, but the Heat must venture into the luxury tax territory to do it.

He won't be a long-term investment. He'd be a short-term shot of adrenalin -- a huge drawing card -- and running mate for Wade, who would help him form the most exciting backcourt in the league this season.

Iverson at 34 can't play every night like he once could, but he's still better than most guards in the league. He certainly would reduce the wear-and-tear on Wade, while providing the kind of thrills that Wade does every night.

Iverson has meant too much to the league – history will remember him as the toughest little big man in the game – to have him finish on a dead-end team like the Grizzlies, Knicks or Clippers. And no one wants to remember him for last season's disaster in Detroit. There is too much pride within him.

With Wade alongside him, he still could average 20 points and half dozen highlights most nights, making him marketable again next summer if he doesn't like the South Beach lifestyle. Yet he also just might decide to stay, to play alongside Bosh and Wade and seriously contend for that championship that always has eluded him.

Too often in this league teams sacrifice victories today for a promise of the future. And too often that future never arrives the way it was planned. With the best backcourt in basketball this season, the Heat might be better than anyone expects, giving fits to the top teams in the East.

Earlier this summer, the Heat spent weeks futilely chasing Lamar Odom, who doesn't have a fraction of the sizzle that Iverson would have. With Iverson, the future would be now in Miami.
