3. Jimmy Butler played 60 minutes Wednesday. Is that a big deal?

Elhassan: Yes. It is indicative of the Bulls' lack of depth and Tom Thibodeau's disregard for keeping his guys fresh. His penchant for running players into the ground has to be a topic of concern for Bulls head honcho John Paxson, who once allegedly physically confronted Vinny Del Negro for playing Joakim Noah 2 minutes and 5 seconds over a playing-time limit.

the raptors are 7th and the heat 9th in today's hollinger power rankings

heat got to get their shit together

eh not yet

save it for the last 20 games

theyre letting it ebb too low imo, nagl

like bron even said he was gonna come out and own they wizards and then he did not

its not like they have shaq

true true, I hope they dont figure it out obv

i'd really like to see a great heat-pacers series tho

yeah we really should not be denied that

lol what are the chances you won't get a pacers -- heat eastern finals?

relatedly, what are the chances that the heat can actually make a series of it? meh.

it will be a good series u crazy

4 -- 2 pacers.

I would way rather watch a game 7 in Indy than in Miami

otm both of you

but 4-2 could still be a good series

WHY THE WEATHER IS BETTER HERE AND THE WIFE OF OUR FOOTBALL TEAM'S QB HAPHAZARDLY LEAVES A HUGE AUTOMATIC WEAPON ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF A RENTAL CAR.

true story

m/l if heat/pacers doesnt go 7 game there is no god

what id like is heat in seven then lose to the thunder in five

finals mvp Kendrick Perkins/Derek Fisher (tie)

i would die

if i have to watch d fish in the finals, I may boycott

sorry, finals mvp is already decided (oden)

greatest pick and roll player of our generation

the west has so many fun teams we really don't need the thunder do we

haha otm

i really think yr alls thunder hatred is unfounded, there are def teams that are funner but you srsly dont like watching durant gtfo, also theyre just the best team this year, really the only one i cld imagine running away w the title

i mean right now we have

spurs-dallas
blazers-suns
OKC-dubs
clips-houston

with denver, memphis, and minny in the running for the 8th spot

oh the thunder are fine they just have too many people/players i hate, obvs love KD and russ forever

2014 durant against 2014 lebron would be pretty incredible

kinda not into dallas unless dirk really gets to dirkin. voting for denver to get in

#freedirk

imagine if dallas traded dirk to a contender what could happen

lol xp

dallas is pretty watchable. you could make the case that the jazz, lakers, and grizz are the only unwatchable teams in the whole conference. and the lakers play fast and the grizz at least have a couple fun players

i don't know, the only first-round western conference matchup that feels potentially compelling from that list is OKC-dubs.

i guess i'd like to see the clippers smash the rockets into complete, utter oblivion. eh.

rockets would probably win that series, and i'd want to slam a sharpened lead-pencil into my earlobe.

all of those series would be bonkers, tho yeah would much prefer nugs play the spurs than the mavs

Has Doc Rivers accomplished anything this year

They're actually allowing 5ppg more than they did last year.
