Most of those players were made by Thibs dude. Asik I agree was a big loss, but it's the system of Thibs that will have this team winning a lot of games. Bulls proved last year they can will a lot of regular season games without Rose. It's when it came to the playoffs they couldn't do shyt. Thibs will once show again why he's one of the goat coaches already. Besides it's not like Rose ain't gonna come back.

This Could Be True, But That Unit Was A Good Solid Core That Complemented Each Other And It Was Just Completely Obliterated

It's Hard To GUT The Roster Like That And Stay That Good

I DO Think Thibs Is The Best Coach In The East Right Now Though

This new group has better potential. :yeshrug: Korver, Brewer, Asik were too one dimensional, and CJ just didn't have the consistent capabilities to run point. As much as we complain about Boozer he plays well against a lot of subpar teams, and there's a ton of them in the East.

That's A Joke, Numbers Dont Lie

Josh Should Get The Ball ALOT More This Season, If He Dont Average 25ppg I Never Wanna Hear You Speak His Name Again

As A Matter Of Fact, A Guys Who Post Season Average Is 15 Points Shouldn't Be Put On Melos Level

Josh Smith Isnt Better Then A "In His Prime" Allan Houston

Atlanta won a lot of games without Joe and Al at times. That doesn't mean they are a good team. They just played 100% every game. That won't happen now that they know Rose will be out for awhile and it's no bet if he will be back to old Rose after the :deadrose:

Naw, I watched all the games. Joe was chucking us out of games and his usage and mins was something only Lebron or Wilt should attempt. We weren't winning that many games either from 05-08.

Josh Smith isn't better than Melo nor is he going to average 25ppg. Heck, he was 6th in the NBA last year in FG attempts and only averaged 18 ppg.

I Like Woody But I Feel Like He's One Of Those Guys Whos Rhetoric Can Get Old Real Fast, Like Guys Will Go Hard For Him At 1st But The More They Hear The Same shyt The Less They Pay Attention. The Only Thing That's Gonna Change That Is Some Results.

I Think Kidd Will Actually Be Good This Season, But I Dont Like Seeing Him Shoot The Ball.

Woody always brings his teams to play at a high level, his team at times go missing on offense because Woody don't care about offense. :russ:

The problem is Josh does things that hurt a team and Melo doesn't. Melo just isn't all the great which is the issue. But you can win a title around Melo but you need the perfect storm. Smith is more of a contributor and one that needs to be a 6th man off the bench for a contender.

Thunder/TSC
:childplease: you said he's a great defender. No coach would start an inferior player just because the other guy scores too good. Harden just don't fit like that. You watch them play and he gets in the way too much. Harden really ain't all that good. He's good and he's very talented and I don't doubt his potential but he looks like a young Mitch Richmond to me. I wasn't a fan a Richmond as well. You can't win a title with him as your superstar or even #2 option.

Harden is an average defender. Harden comes off the bench because without him coming in with the second unit, who is scoring? Maynor, Collison, Cook? Everyone knows he should be starting but it's better for the team that he is the 6th man. I don't get what your saying by he gets in the way too much. With the second unit he is basically the offense & when he plays with the starters he is the 3rd option but more importantly is a playmaker for Westbrook & Durant.
