How does no team fear the Bulls? They have the previous season's MVP coming back to a team that made it to the semifinals without him. That team is a defensive beast...every team in the league probably hates going against them, the Pacers and the Grizzlies because they know it's gonna be a slugfest all game.

You guys need to understand Oden hasn't played basketball in YEARS. He's played 82 games in 6 years + a handful of embarrassing summer league games + some preseason games. He cannot cruise or rest until the playoffs then come in and expect to make any contribution. He needs to get his timing back and his confidence back. He can't afford to "cruise" til the playoffs, he needs experience ASAP. If he's glued to the bench, he's not going to do anything in the playoffs except be a goofy foul machine - which he was when he was playing really well.

Still have no bench and besides d rose no consistent scorer, defense can only get you so far if you cant put up points

Gibson, Dunleavy and Hinrich (with cameos from Mohammad and Teague) should be solid. Maybe not the strongest of benches, but far from "no bench".

No bench would be last seasons blazers. Bulls got a bench.

My man....repped

 

[dman14]

oden would foul out so quick. i saw a stat where they showed that yao, shaq, ai last played before oden :x

 

[AEA18]

ESPN posted a video about Greg Oden going to the heat and his highlights have Yao Ming in them

Its been that long since he played in a regular season game

 

[akhi]

^I saw Michael Finley in there somewhere too

They would have been better off if they had signed Yao Ming instead

You would think dude would come out and say something all that money being made you would think he'd want some

That's why he came out . Y'all don't remember this ?

I've seen video of a different dude, Anthony McClelland, who looks and even played more like LeBron, was one of the top players in Ohio, is a career criminal. I'd bet money on this dude if it's one of the 2

I remember an article where dude said, " I remember apologizing for my subpar performance when I was done."

Then someone else on this board said, "he's wearing his daddys number too."

 

[Bert.]

people are expecting too much out of Oden.

 

[awwsome]

People are expecting Oden to block shots and rebound off the bench, that's really too much?

Y'all ****** reaching

Expecting this dude to get himself dressed and make it though pregame warmups, and then get on the court to rebound and block shots is too much.

 

[tyonenine]

If y'all feel this way about oden, how do you feel about Bynum?

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Do yall expect Oden to die at an early age too?

 

[Bert.]

If y'all feel this way about oden, how do you feel about Bynum?

at least Bynum HAS played more than 82 games in his career and put up numbers. Oden on the other hand... hasnt..

 

[mjsaver]

If y'all feel this way about oden, how do you feel about Bynum?

Again , he makes Bynum look like Cal Ripken in terms of durability.

Bynum has a legit post game too, check out his post up clinic vids on YouTube. Oden couldn't do half of those moves in his wildest dreams.

 

[awwsome]

Except the Cavs are paying Bynum 6 mil and the Heat are paying Oden the minimum

 

[black migo]

If oden wouldve signed to a different team it wouldve been "i hope he can finally stay healthy and be able to contribute" but since hes going to mia its a bad move/ waste of money/ eddy curry replacement etc smh

Oden>>>> thabeet btw

That dude looks just like Bron just with a Jeri curl

 

[Based Jesus]

It would've been a bad move/waste of money if he had gone to any other team as well.

And at least thabeet isn't a cripple and can actually contribute serious minutes if called upon.

 

[don ramon]

So let me get this straight. Chris Paul was upset with management about word getting out that he had something to do with vinny getting canned but its now known that he directly threatened to leave the clippers and join howard if they didn't get coach rivers.

Uh! News flash bruh; yeah that's getting the coach fired.

Is this dude for real?

He was calling the shots in New Orleans and still is in la but he tries to act brand new soon as it hits the fan. Smh

if that's true he's a weasel both on and off the court
