Get Me This Taj Gibson Poster

WOW!!!  Somebody get me this Taj Gibson poster with the quickness.  I did not know that Taj had that in him, let alone to do it twice.  It's like Taj Gibson turned into Blake Griffin and just decided to throw down two of the most epic dunks I have ever seen.  Those dunk were so ridiculous that people aren't even talking about Ronnie Brewer's dunk on Chris Bosh, and that was serious dunk.

ChicagBro Sports NBA Awards for 2010-2011 Season

The NBA regular season is over and the playoffs start Saturday, but before we get to the playoffs, we have regular season awards to hand out.  Now I could wait for the actual awards to get handed out by the league, but that is no fun, and they will probably screw up something.  So let's get at it.

Getting dunked on...like a Bosh

I did not know that Rodney Stuckey had that in him, but what the fuck is Bosh doing there?  You have three options when you are about to get dunked on.  You can either block the dunk (which Bosh failed to do), foul the dude hard, or get the fuck out the way.  I personally would have gone with option three here but Bosh decided to take option number four, get dunked on, like a Bosh.

Ok, I won't delay the inevitable anymore...PLAY THE MUSIC!

El Heat cried after losing to Los Bulls

Huffington Post All of these tough losses are apparently getting to some of the Miami Heat players.

After the Heat lost their fourth straight game on Sunday, some of the players were reportedly very emotional in the locker room.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Spoelstra said: "There are a couple of guys crying there in the locker room." Brian Windhorst of ESPN also confirmed the report.

It has been a rough stretch for Miami. The Chicago Bulls beat the Heat by one point after both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade missed shots in the final seconds.

On Friday, the San Antonio Spurs gave the Heat their worst loss of the season, crushing them 125-95.

Miami gave up a 24-point lead in the third quarter the previous night against Orlando. The Magic pulled off an amazing comeback to win 99-96 after Chris Bosh and LeBron missed 3-point attempts in the final seconds. 

I can't even comprehend grown ass men crying after losing a regular season basketball game.  I kind of get it when it is a college kid who just lost his last game as a senior and is never going to play basketball again, but these guys are pros, and need to act like it.  

My big question here is, who are the "couple of guys crying"? I think we can safely say that one of them is Bosh, since he cried after the Orlando game.  The other guy is trickier.  It has to be someone who has a lot at stake, since it made him cry, so that rules out the role players.  I don't think a guy like Dwyane Wade, who has already won a championship, is going to cry after any regular season game.  So it has to be Lebron.  He has proven himself as a sore loser in the past and this goes along with that image perfectly. 

I would love to know what guys around the league think about this. I know what I think.  Next time it is Noche Latina, the NBA should issue La Heat jerseys to the team from Miami.

Lebron hits Bosh in the face...Heat blow 24 point lead...Bosh cries

Chris Bosh cried like a bitch after the Heat-Magic game last night.  Why did he cry? It probably had something to do with playing a crappy game, his team blowing a 24 point lead, realizing the Heat can't beat good teams and Lebron hitting him in the face.

Whatever the reason, it wasn't a good enough reason for a grown man to cry.  I know if I was him, I would claim that pass from Lebron hit me right in the nose and my eyes were just watering.  Nobody would believe him, but they may at least say, "Oh, I understand", before they turn around and make fun of him.

Well, after a performance like this, you know what time it is... PLAY THE MUSIC!

ChicagBro of the Week: Chris Bosh

TBJ exclusive: Like A Bosh from The Basketball Jones on Vimeo.

It would be really easy to make Derrick Rose the ChicagBro of the Week almost every week during this basketball season, and Rahm Emanuel also received a few votes too. But in what was really the biggest Bulls game of the year last night, Chris Bosh was the Chicago Bulls MVP.  1 for 18 shooting from the field and just getting dominated defensively by Noah and Omer Asik. The only way to describe his play last night...Like a Bosh.

Yesterday could not have turned out better for the Bulls

Bulls beat Heat, Celtics trade away Kendrick Perkins and Celtics lose to the Nuggets.  All they did was win, win, win.

First off the game last night. The Bulls beat the Heat last night 93-89. Great game played by the whole team (except Keith Bogans, but that is expected), especially Omer Asik who had 11 rebounds and played great defense coming off the bench. Wade and Lebron had big games, well until Lebron tossed up that brick at the end of the game, but the Bulls defense shut down the rest of the team. That is exactly the type of game the Bulls needed to show the league they are for real  after everybody started slobbering all over the Knicks after the Carmelo trade.

On top of the win, the Bulls also won because the Celtics inexplicably traded their best big man, Kendrick Perkins, to the Thunder for Jeff Green. The Celtics strength is their size and getting rid of size, just makes no sense for them. So inevitably the Celtics lost last night and the Bulls are now 2 games out of first place, which is definitely with in reach.

PS - Chris Bosh, get your punk ass off the ground.  That was the worst flop ever.
