Boston is over rated, The Hawks might be a top 4 in the east if healthy, and the Raptors (when both guards play well) can be top 4 as well, but I think they can all beat the Bulls, but its still too early to make those predictions. Maybe by Xmas will will see if it still holds true.
Bostons and hawks only have role players isn't disrespectful to wade(who turned the clock back again) saying he isn't a championship contender? And look butler a SCORING machine teague is just a average pg, their is a reason atlanta got rid of him. And actually rondo seems motiviated plus bulls are gonna be top teams in the east.

Look at their roster and they got lopez as center who is playing excellent!

wade is STILL a super star,he carried the heat to playoffs last year and if he has bosh and whiteside they would have faced miamia.

As for rondo he is a super star and won a ring before!
Butler is a scoring machine while boston and hawks have role players,and no super stars.

The season is barely a week old!!! If the Bulls are still playing like this at New Years AND nobody's gotten hurt yet, than we can talk about how they maybe a threat to the Cavs & Raptors.

Wade hasn't been a superstar in years. He's above average and gets props on name recognition alone.
Rondo has NEVER been a superstar, he got a ring as 4th fiddle to the Boston big 3. Since they broke up he's been nothing but a locker room cancer. Period.

Butlers day may come but he's not there yet.

If Rondo could shoot, he would have been a beast.

Even his FT% is atrocious.

his shot is terrible.

espn is doing their top 200, he is ranked 105between robin lopez and marcin gortat.
only 2 spots ahead of spurs jonathon simmons who was a walkon who paid his own way to Dleague try outs a couple of years ago.

agree but you got look at the east,the east is weak boston and hawks have NO super stars only role players. As for toronto,wade and miami took them to 7 games and wade didnt have bosh or white side now this time his got butler scoring machine and rondo,do you really think raptors stand a chance against bulls?? Heck raptors really aint got super stars. Again the east is gonna come down to cavs or bulls but all players have to be healthy!

Great Laker win last night.

Finally buckled down and pulled ahead at the end.

Korver had a horrible game, don't really know it was just him or if the Lakers really locked him down.

Also Lakers were shooting a lot a midrange last night to get around Dwight; which was a pretty decent strategy.

Lol we have the Warriors on Friday night. Wish us luck.

Well....you went 1-4* against them last year which is better than what most of the league could say.


*Granted, that 1 win was the Sunday early afternoon classic trap game when the Dubs were probably out partying all Saturday night in LA, but the result is the same.
