I'm so glad Legler called out Bam the other day for his no-show against Philly. Him, Draymond and Gobert are three players who never get criticized, regardless of their performance.

Bam's on a max contract, makes the All-Star team regularly and is on the Olympic team. But when he scores ten points it's always "well, he does other things." :camby:

When it comes to t-wolves talk, Gobert never gets criticized because KAT gets all the smoke.

As Wilbon just said, the Celtics would rather play Chicago than Miami if it came down to it.

Miami even without Jimmy is still a competitive team due to Spo keeping his guys so that means every game win or lose would be more of a fight compared to playing against the Bulls and Billy Donovan.

Agree. And he's not on that Ben Wallace elite level defender where his offensive output isn't a concern

If the Bulls don't go on at least 1 run in this 2nd half...

They're the #1 seed in the league. They shouldn't be afraid of playing anybody and it's corny that people keep bringing up these types of talks.
It's not so much about being afraid.

It's more about playing the team with the least resistance and conserving energy for the next opponent. From a competitive perspective, Chicago is lesser of a fight than Miami.

Most players (and fans) won't admit it but would rather play the team that's less likely to give them much of a fight.

Billy sucks at making in game adjustments. If his guys aren't cooking his team's offenses look like trash.

Bulls going to come out of the half with their adjustments and Miami going to start playing more zone and they'll look like shyt long enough for Miami to hold on to this lead.

Going by that logic, you’ll have people including posters on this site and the media diminishing accomplishments by pointing out the path that said team took.
