Bulls are going to struggle next year, with no accomplished 3 point shooter

Jimmy Butler

3 pt % 2014-15 : 38%
3 pt % 2015-16: 31 % ??

Wtf?? Does he just attempt a lot less 3's or something?

None of these teams are elite. If they were elite they would be able to contend with the Cavs. They can't.

I think I just about understood what you wrote, I was 10 months at the time of the 95 finals so yeah I did end up watching it later *shock* Shaq peaked way earlier than you probably realise. He was dropping almost 30 in the 95 season. He pretty much came into the league maxed out. Do you think 95 Shaq was underdeveloped or something?

Again, look up the phrase false modesty and realise the difference.

depend on what u mean by elite.
LAC,SAS,OKC are elite in the West because they can contend with GSW? please...


i did say SHAQ was a rookie (almost). and you cannot conclude that because he dominated Shaq in the Finals that is why he is better than him. and again, i believe u are not thinking because someone won the finals that why he is the best.

if you don't understand say u don't, do not attack my english im not a native speaker. im French. if u can write in french go ahead.
i hope ur mind is refreshed.

But they can contend with GS... if they couldn't OKC wouldn't have held a 3-1 series lead. And their regular season games with the Clipper and Spurs wouldn't have been so close nor so highly anticipated.

I'm CALLING YOU OUT on your poor English because you're attempting to give witty replies to people WITHOUT fully understanding what they mean. Which is annoying me.

No Shaq wasn't a rookie, it was his 3rd year in the league and like I said he was dominating early on. A finals series is plenty of proof in determining the calibre of a player, especially in the post. They don't have off games and neither did Shaq, he still averaged 28 PPG over the series. It wasn't a 'bad series' but he was still outmatched.

Shaq has a greater legacy than Hakeem of course, 3 consecutive FMVP is crazy but it doesn't suggest he was a better player either, breaking down opposition. Also worth noting Shaq was never as good defensively, which is another large reason why Hakeem did well against him.

Yes they are elite teams.

Keep talking about my English then, if you think your own is wonderful.
it will annoy you until you dig a hole and bury yourself.
if that was his third year in the League, thats why i said "almost". and if i reply to others and not mentioning you,please shut up.
you give ur opinion and i give my own, and that's it.

define an elite team

Title contenders.

If you're wrong why would I? But if you're offended or irritated by my responses that's fine I won't reply.

that's not a definition. every teams are title contenders.

that's not a definition. every teams are title contenders.



you said you were annoyed, not me.
stop replying me then from now and teach english to others.

that's not a definition. every teams are title contenders.

So the 76ers are title contenders? The Lakers are title contenders?

There are a handful of teams that definitely are not title contenders. What is your definition of an elite team?

As a Warrior fan, did you qualify your team as an Elite two years ago? Why

Any team that wins many games, less defeats during the regular season and is qualified for the playoffs is an elite team.
