Spurs bench one of the greatest in history bra

Dam one of the worst posts I have seen in awhile

Spurs bench one of the best in history?

No explanation behind that?

You're talking out of your ass.


That's my opinion. I think the Bulls have a stronger bench. They have 2 or 3 legit starters on their bench, where the spurs have 1, maybe 2.

You are such a f*cking homer. Just stop.

the bigs are intriguing, i agree, but I haven't seen them play together and pau is best suited near the basket not shooting, as is noah. You usually play high-low with passing bigs like spain in this wc, but one of them has to have a realiable jumper (marc gasol/ibaka are excellent midrange shooters). SO spacing might be an issue here.

and you best be kidding with the bolded as starter level offense creators. I'm talking about guys that can create while guarded in a playoffs athmosphere, not guys for the regular season against philly and minnesota. Do you have faith that dunleavy or aaron brooks can initiate an offense against a solid defense?? I don't. Also none of the bulls guards are known for their post passing.

You are talking about guards. You are completely ignoring the possibilities of offense generated through our passing big men as well as rose.

While we may lack creative guards who break guys off the dribble, we have two bigmen to dump the ball into and do work. We also have much more capable shooters to punish the defenses either collapsing on rose or the big men.

You can't just assume that we are the same team from 2011 which;

1. had no reliable shooters outside of korver

2. had no inside post play to draw in defenses

3. lack of chemistry

Posting in a bulls thread.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Having Thibs on the sidelines doesn't hurt. If the Spurs showed you one thing last season, it is that talent isn't the only thing that matters. Chicago has a lot of new parts, so we'll have to see how they fit along with Rose's status. But, it doesn't hurt when you have a proven commodity like Thibs running practices and sitting on the sidelines.

Having the best coach in the league in Greg Popovich doesn't hurt either.

Spurs bench stats last season

Points: 44.5ppg (1st)
FG%: 47.8 (1st)
Assists: 10.9 (1st)
Rebounds: 16.8 (2nd)
3pt%: 39.1% (2nd)
Steals: 3.3 (3rd)


Now if you don't think the spurs have a legit top 10 ever bench please go find 10 better.. Not gonna happen..

Bulls have a decent bench but they are far behind the spurs.. It ain't even close

When rose sucks this season and bulls are meh.. What you going to say then ha?


Bulls bench>spurs bench

[jaybee682]

I'm a bulls fan and I don't get the hype. Rose will not be the 2011 Rose, not even close. Pau Gasol is not that much better than Boozer, he is also 34 on the downside of his career. Mirotic and McDermott are rookies so you have NO idea what to really expect from them. The Bulls strength is Tibbs his coaching and preparedness gives them an edge over most NBA teams. If the team is 100% healthy and Rose is at least at 80% of his MVP self we will win 55 games.

Bulls bench>spurs bench

Top 10 ever bench? That is plausible. The best ever is quite a statement though. Some of the 80's celtics teams had hall of famers on the bench.

Very impressive stats there and hard to argue that.

As we haven't seen the current Bulls bench operate together, I can only say that the Bulls have 2 to 3 legit starters coming off the bench. Spurs stats are very impressive there, but I would guess this bench is capable of those stats too.

Manu, Diaw, Belinelli,Mills dont ring a bell?

Spurs bench>> Bulls bench

I know what their bench is.

Manu is getting old, Diaw is interchangeable as a starter with Splitter, Bellinelli was a non-factor, and Mills had a good season and finals series but let's not overate him.

do what i do.

Wait for a month, drose gets injured, talk dies down.

what do you mean by non factor?

How are you only gonna count finals performances for these guys when the bulls bench havent played in the finals either. Belinelli and Mills definitely played like starter material last season. Btw Manu was a year older last year and played even better than the 2012-2013 season

About the only thing the spurs and bulls really have in common is people tend to sleep on them...

Bulls will make some noise this season.. the 29 other teams won't be dismissing them like the haters are.. If Rose is healthy (BIG IF) this team is going to be scary good by the time all star break rolls around.. this is a solid roster in a weak conference with a good coach

[BIZARRO]

Not that it's all that pertinent to this thread. But don't sleep on Tony Snell. He's really improved his game dramatically by all accounts (and the eye test in summer league), and will definitely help them more than expected off the bench.
