Seriously? He's had a few subpar/average games. I'm not sure I believe that report.
 
Brandon Roy was the Lesstern Conference Player of the Week and Ben Gordon was the Beastern Conference Player of the Week.

I already saw the news release. It's on Bulls.com, among other places.

Call me when the East finally has a playoffs lineup of all 8 teams with a winning record.
 
It shows parity doesn't really matter all that much.

Since the lat Lakers Championship, we have:

2003- San Antonio Spurs
2004- Detroit Pistons
2005- San Antonio Spurs
2006- Miami Heat
2007- San Antonio Spurs
2008- Boston Celtics

The East has been able to produce three championship teams, while the West was only being able to produce one.

That puts the Bulls in a more favorable position then the Cavs really. The Cavs are the only team that I see with a longterm sustainability of the current Eastern Elite. Magic won't sustain with Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu being on the wrongside of 30 next year, and Jameer Nelson being injury prone. Celtics obviously have a limited window. While the Magic will surely reload and the Heat look to have a bright future, a window where the Bulls can seriously compete for a championship will be opened up.

The Blazers, obviously can compete, as they have a lot of talent, but Kobe is a talent that can sustain greatness later then most, same with Duncan. You have Chris Paul and Deron Williams' with some pretty young teams in there.

The Bulls have an easier path to the finals, and being in a tougher conference hasn't proven much in the Finals since the Lakers last won.
 
The third-year Trail Blazer and two-time NBA All-Star averaged 22.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.50 steals while shooting 47.5% (29-61) from the floor in four starts. He led Portland in scoring three times and assists twice in four games last week.

Not too shabby. The team went undefeated, including wins over two top quality Western Conference Playoff teams. And Roy is seen as the leader of this team.

Mozel tov, Roy, I hope that soon this award will get downright boring.:cheers:

Orrrr, the west is just so good, that they beat up on eachother, and the Spurs just happen to be the best team out here. The East is so BAD that any team can have a decent season and rise to the top. The closest thing to consistency you had out there was Detroit, and now they're close to not even making the playoffs. Your logic is flawed BG.

Interesting that you think Noah and Tyrus are going to make a big enough impact to change that score if we played again.

It's a structural issue that has existed for two decades and won't go away anytime soon. There are simply a larger collection of good owners/front office personnel in the WC. If we were the Portland, ME TrailBlazers our record would have been closer to 60 wins.

The WC team that survives the gauntlet ends up in the Finals beaten up. The first round for the good teams in the EC is a cakewalk. Even the second round is comparatively easy. The result is a rested EC team and a worn out WC team.

I don't see Kirk Hinrich, Brad Miller, or John Salmons in that box score.

And Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah were no where close to as good as they are now at the beginning of the season.

Fail. You lost in Chicago with Deng and Cpt. Kirk - and we now got Ruffin!

For the record - this year against Chicago's roster, or Brad Miller and John Salmons (at the Kings) the Blazers are 5-0

Nothing says scary like the prospect of playing Brad Miller and Salmons.

Face it buddy, the much improved Tyrus Thomas would be struggling getting backup PF minutes in Portland... That sequence in Portland where a huffing and puffing Oden just back from injury blocked TT 3 times in a row was funny.

Hey, Homer... so, how are the Power Rankings comin' along?

I'm a little surprised BG is wasting his time over here when he should be crowing about Ben Gordon winning EC player of the week.

Truly beyond words and only surpassed in stupidity by your thesis "The young Blazers are going to fail because they young Bulls did" logic from earlier this season.

You have no idea how to process information in a logical manner. I suggest you invest in a typewriter as to not embarrass yourself any further.

So does that mean the Eastern Conference was weaker from 1992-2000 because they had one champion (Chicago) while the Western Conference had three (Houston, San Antonio, Lakers)?

Nonsense. The strength of a conference isn't determined by the NBA champion. The strength of a conference is determined by the cumulative wins and losses of the teams in that conference outside of their conference.
That puts the Bulls in a more favorable position then the Cavs really. The Cavs are the only team that I see with a longterm sustainability of the current Eastern Elite.

The Magic have the most dominant big man in the game (and he's only 23).

Chicago, after 80 games, is a .500 team.

Just think about those two facts for a minute.

Hedo and Rashard are getting older, but Howard and Orlando are exactly the kind of things high quality free agents gravitate to. Unlike, say, Chicago.

Orlando is going to be a contender for years to come. Chicago might be one day.
 
The Bulls are a playoff team by default. They clinched a spot with a losing record in the EASTERN conference. You have nothing to be proud of. You also are in no place to talk down to a MUCH superior team.

Aren't they at 40-40 right now?
