weak draft or not tanking should always be frowned upon

Only teams that shouldn't frown upon tanking are the Bobcats & Wizards.

So you guys would've bet on the Bulls being the 2 seed at the all star break without Rose?
I know it's easy to say stuff NOW but I doubt even the most optimistic preseason predictions had the Bulls this high.
i never said i had us pegged to be this good without DR1 BUT i also didnt totally lose hope & say we would miss the playoffs & totally suck without him like others SAID nor did I start rooting for insert hype team here because our star was down like others DID

Seriously, a brand new-look Grizzlies aren't going to beat Clippers, Spurs or Thunder in a 7 game series.
Brand-new look...? The past two years it's arguable that they've been better without Rudy. And I'm not saying that they're for sure the front runners to come out the West either, I'm just saying that they might have the best matchups against the Heat of any team from the West after this trade.

Because I personally hate the idea of being a middle of the pack team. Not good enough to win a ring, but not bad enough to get some solid Draft picks. My whole thing was that the bulls had no chance of winning the chip(they still don't) so why not tank and get a Draft pick to either A. Use or B. Trade. You also get to make sure Rose gets an adequate amount of rehabilitation time, it seemed like the best idea to me. *shrugs*

People were picking the Bulls to miss the playoffs in the East even without intentionally tanking.

I for sure was. It's still baffling how good they've been this year.

Meh, I think if you looked at that Dallas team with Dirk, Kidd, Jet, Marion, Chandler - you would've said they had no chance at a chip and weren't bad enough to get solid draft picks. They peaked at the right time, clicked on offense and defense, played perfect basketball and ended up winning a chip. To say they still have no chance at a chip is being very pessimistic.

Who is going to score for the Grizzlies when the paint is clogged?
Thibodeau has gotta be coach of the year IMO, the job he's doing is crazy
" She know I specialize in D, Tom Thibodeau "
Tom Jackson.
He's doing with with a young core, missing a very good center and in the west.
Dot get me wrong, thibs is doing a great job but it's not like we have seen this bulls squad before.

I don't agree with this. I think they definitely had a chance to win it all until the moment Rose went down.

You really think they have a chance this season?
I probably said it before that chance only happens if all the other star players on the other top teams get injured.

Great Coaching yes, but more aptly they are playing in the east. They wouldn't be the 2nd best team in the conference playing out west. Probably 7-9.
