Power went out with about 4:00 minutes left in the Heat/Bulls games.
Came back on a little while ago, I see this thread jump about 8 pages and was like "Welp, the Heat lost.
"
Miami is really gonna let Indiana get by unscathed with their recent losing skid.

That's roughly about MDA's record without a prime Nash
He's had Kobe, Howard, Melo and Gasol during that time too

Lakers fans are DEFENDING D'Antoni? Is the world going to end?
Like I said earlier, guys like Brewer, Lucas, etc. all played better under Thibs. He knows how to get the most out of his team. Where's Ronnie Brewer now? JLIII? Omer Asik? They were better under Thibs because he utilizes his players' strengths...a part of the reason why Noah is beasting this year is because Thibs realizes he has that playmaking ability and that's why he's one of the primary ball handlers on the team at the moment. We've been deprived of offensive talent the past few years and still winning. Near the bottom of the league in offense and we're 3rd in the East without Derrick and Luol. Granted the East is terrible, but is that not impressive?

When the hell is the one seed ever meaningless?
A one seed can absolutely be meaningless if you don't do anything with it. Especially if you're clearly not the best team in the conference when you get it.

The Chicago Bulls, as do other teams, charge more for a ticket to see the likes of Miami, OKC, Pacers, because those are "premium" games, as labeled by those to control ticket prices.
And i hate Miami more than any other team in the NBA.......so why wouldn't I enjoy this win a tad more than any other? However, beationg Miami today doesn't mean crap tomorrow. Miami puts themselves on such a pedastal, like the NBA world revolved around them. Yeah, they're the champs, and theres respect there, but god i hate that team soooooooooo god damn much.

there are at most 5 coaches that i see as a clear upgrade over dantoni (thibs is not one of them).Lakers fans are DEFENDING D'Antoni? Is the world going to end?

list of guys who have all played better under dantoni: nash, felton, steve blake, *insert entire 2014 lakers roster here*, a bunch of suns players
thibs has done a great job this year but its not anything too special

I can't believe they are actually comparing D'Antoni to the coaching genius of Thibodeau

Aren't you 4th in the east? Behind Toronto? I must have forgotten about Toronto's elite roster.
Behind a team whose GM literally wanted to tank this season. Maybe Dwayne Casey is the best coach in the league.

for thinking that's comparable. Let's talk about TO's record last season then. Believe what you want dude. He is one of the best in the league, top 3 definitely. Naive if you think otherwise.

I don't even think its the fans or the team for that matter that makes me dislike the bulls its just noah then when he starts to scream for securing a simple rebound or tip in and the fans start to cheer for him that's when the hate starts.

Because Casey's record is 110-160 over 4 seasons? Whereas Thibs has been coaching the same amount of time and is 192-101?
