Oh shit (Part 9)

The scene: Game 6, in ChiTown.  Bulls improbably lead the series 3-2, missing half of their team, facing a Brooklyn Nets team desparate to prove they're worth all the money that crazy Ruski is paying them.  And nobody has put forth more effort than Nate Robinson, who has to secretly be happy the team is so injury-ridden.  Nothing like a shooter getting an excuse to put up 25 shots/game. 

So when little Nate sees the big goon Kris Humphries switched on to him, you can see his eyes light up.  Time to bust out the And-1 shit.



As expected, Nate leaves Humphries in the dust with ease, making a fool of the mouthbreather.  Awesome hesitation move, completely burns the cool guy, and scores.  But no fall, and the Bulls go on to lose the game.  Nate Robinson, I award you 4/5 Paul Pierce Wheelchairs.



Sorry, Kris. 

Bulls Beat Down High School Team

Wait a second, that was actually the Hawks!  When I first saw this story, I thought the Bulls were the team on the receiving end of the beat down and this story was going to be all about how bad the Bulls need Poohdini back on the court.  Man, was I wrong.  Josh Smith, Al Horford, Lou Williams, Jeff Teague; all respectable basketball players, should be completely embarrassed.  I'm not talking just embarrassment over the final score, but with the fact that some guy named Mike Scott, who only played 16 minutes and whose name sounds like one you would tell a cop in response to the "what's your name" question when you were caught drinking at age 16, led the Hawks in scoring with just 10 points.

I'll tell you what... if the Bulls can stay on this pace and make the playoffs and if Pooh comes back even close to his former self, their second round series with Miami is going to be a war.  It's already pretty well documented that D. Rose hates Lebron and the Heat are going to have no answer for Noah on the boards so the Bulls will average more than one shot per offensive possession. 

I am saying right now IF Pooh comes back strong, Chicago wins that series.

Nate Robinson's Biggest News Since Jumping Over Dwight

Nate Robinson is back in the news for doing something only a little person (we're super PC here in da club) could do.

Side note: The dunk contests that he won in '09 and '10 did absolutely nothing for me.  I know for a guy that is 5' nothing, the dunks were impressive, but I would rather see Jason Richardson dunking all seven days of the week and twice on Sunday.
