On
with that story who cooked Kyle was Snell... Mcbucketts was Manu's man, who I don't think can guard him well either.. lol

They ALWAYS win a close game w/ someone making a fluky dagger shot i.e. Wade's 3 vs. Celtics.

For the most part, the refs let them play physical at the United Center & their fans are top 5 in the league.

RIP Perfect Road Record

D. Green enters the game for M. Ginobili

We
have argued this one already, and it gets old. I grow weary of pointless discussions. As Kyle barely registered less than 5 minutes... it was Ginobili who got cooked.

[All Mighty Janitor]

Butler knows Pau isn't going to present any resistance at the rim so he's going to drive to the bucket on every play.

Lopez is also one of the best offensive rebounders in the league so he should have a field day like Gortat & Softridge is going to be in for a long day against Taj.

If he can.

[SAGirl]

Anyways Mcbuckets may be out of rhythm hopefully.

Who guesses that the road record is lost tonight?

I thought we did with the Bulls losing 3 straight coming into it. Nothing the do with TP playing. I actually feel a bit better with TP playing on a nationally televised game

It's not that..

I have my reservations that he's 100%. He's very prone to doing this thing when he comes back b4 he's really ready... doesn't play well and Pop has to sit him. I hope to be wrong, but I don't think he has a good record lately with his alleged quick returns from injuries.

ok dude if you call one drawn foul getting cooked...

[Kawhitstorm]

If he can.

There is this thing called a pick to unglue the primary defender & you can't go under the screen on Butler b/c he isn't Rondo.

[Kawhitstorm]

McBuckets had 5 baskets in the game & he scored 3 of them against Kyle in less than 2 minutes for a total of 8 points.

Manu wasn't even on the floor so I don't know where you got the "Manu got torched by McBuckets" theory.

Son of a . T-Wolves are going to draw this game out with 1:32 left and down 12.

[Robz4000]

Towns is an awful defender tbh.

Towns is an awful defender tbh.

He reminds me of a young Softridge.

RIP Rubio

Blatant goaltending there

Thibs is probably the most hated coach by beat writers.

[Robz4000]

He reminds me of a young Softridge.

Softridge isn't a bad defender though.

[Dex]

Thibs needs to stop taking timeouts. You are down 10+ with like a minute left. Just take the loss and stop acting like a .

Jesus ing Christ. Show the game already hoe
