Many predict that the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers and Miami will be amongst the top teams in the NBA's Eastern Conference at season's end. While in Rio De Janeiro for an exhibition, Bulls F Taj Gibson spoke of the other 2 contenders.
“It starts with Indiana, of course, just because they’re in the division,’’ Gibson said. “Every time we play, they don’t like us, we don’t like them. A lot of talking, a whole lot of trash-talking. You see what’s going on with Joakim [Noah] and Roy Hibbert already.....[The Pacers] have the same kind of style as us.....They have a hard-nosed mentality like us, and the one thing about them is they like to feel like we overshadow them. You can see that when we clash, a lot of bodies are banging, and there’s a lot of trash-talking because they take the mind-set that we somehow put them below us.’’
“When we play Miami, it’s just a dogfight,’’ Gibson said. “Neither team shakes hands much before or after the game when we play Miami and Indiana. That’s when you really know it’s a dogfight. How much trash-talking is going on in those games that people don’t hear or see? We just don’t like either one of those teams....Miami is still the team to beat.....They still have [Dwyane Wade], Chris Bosh, a lot of size now, so I think they’re still the team to beat. They’re the champs.’’
