Too much inconsistent play, the cap dump and the grind of winning the Cup also had profound effects on this season. I don't know if not making the playoffs this season is such a terrible thing, it'll give them time to rest and get pissed off about this shitty season. Moreover I saw some where that the Hawks came away with a combination of 17 players and draft picks in those deals over last summer - we've yet to see what'll come of these aquistions. I know Bowman sold on high on Versteeg and few others, I gotta think he didn't come away empty handed. Hell, Morin and Leddy are only 19 and 20, I look upon this season as a small bump in the road, they'll back on top of the Central in the near future.

Another f***ing gb single!

Would Garrett Jones be in baseball if it wasn't for the Cubs?

Many are speaking of the Reds as some young team dynasty in the making, in looking at their 2010 lineup am I missing something? http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CIN/2010.shtml Hernandez and Gomes played above their means, Rolen was injury free, yes Bruce and Votto are young and very good but, let's not kid our selfs the Reds had quite of bit things break right for them in 2010.

Finally the Cubs realized the how useless Silva was and cut their losses by dumping him. Better to lose just money than development time for Cashner, etc by letting that POS pitch. I'm not certain a Baker or even Piniella led Cubs would have endorsed or espoused cutting Sliva. I could easliy see a situation where he would have made the roster and claimed the 5th spot. Would have started and sucked with Baker and Piniella makng excuses and giving him start after start.

They'll fill those holes. With what? Aren't they up against the cap? That leaves the draft and trades besides James, Wade and Bosh what do they have to trade? They have the mid-level and bi-annual exceptions they can use to sign more players even if they're up against the cap. They can't sign any stars, but they don't need stars. Thanks I was unware of the cap exceptions nevertheless, I'll take the Bulls.

If I'm not mistaken the Bulls hold multiple 1st round picks over the next two years given this and the aging Celtics, Spurs and Lakers, the Bulls could be poised to dominate the NBA over the next few seasons. I didn't include the Heat above, while they won't be getting old, I believe the Bulls are simply the better team. The Heat, despite the triumvirate, also have some glaring holes no bench or inside game and weak rebounding compared to the Bulls at least.
-
I like the Bulls chances tommorrow night, if I'm not mistaken the Bulls have been pretty deadly in "make up games" this season. I know the Bulls kicked their asses shortly after they blew the 20 pt lead in Atlanta but, that was in Chicago. Tommorow night qualifies as the "make up" game.

I hope they stick with kid, Berstein & Boers were, after saying what a turd he is about 10,000 times, suggesting they let him walk. That has disaster written all over it, someone, like [expletive] Kansas or Kentucky is waiting in the wings to pounce all over the situation. They'll take him on, help him mature and he'll develop into the player everyone thought he could be throwing yet more crap on Weber and Illinois. Don't give up on the kid Bruce.
-
Hell yeah, remember the Illinois - Arizona brackets?

When you've go PG who refuses to take the ball to the hoop and two other starting seniors who want anything else but the ball in pressure time easily. I wouldn't be so quick to write off next season as more of the same, you've got a whole different mentally with Richmond, Paul, etc. They actually appear to have some balls, I don't know if it was drawn up that way but, I thought it was fitting Paul took the last shot. He missed but, at least he drove to the hoop. Once again, I too am pissed off, frustrated with Weber but, he cannot make McCamey, Davis or Tisdale grow some - nobody can.
-
Despite it being good, there was something cheap and cheesy about that goal.
-
Everyone of the goals resulting from turnovers and terrible play by the Hawks, nothing special or noteable done by the Panthers - that's frustrating.
-
I don't know where a bench and an inside game is going to materialize for the Heat, without these, despite James and Wade, they haven't much of a chance.
-
I don't believe the Heat can handle a team with an inside game, the Bulls, in their 3 wins have outrebounded the Heat 43-30, 53-29 and 38-30 including a big edge on the offensive glass. Should they meet in the playoffs I like the Bulls chances.
-
Are the Bulls holding 4 1st picks in the next draft? Thought I read about this in their attempt to use some of them in a deal for Mayo.
-
first pitch was a ball according to pat Game Day has him with 7 pitches, none of which were a ball.
-
Did Carlos Zambrano actually complete an inning with only 7 pitches? Along with not throwng one ball?
-
If only we had more than 5 guys on the team. That would help as well, I'd definitely start Leonard over Tisdale and regardless of what Richmond says about coming off the bench I'd go with him over Cole. Neither of them are soft, they're agressive and willing shove in someone' face, not cower away and hide in the corner. How awesome was that spin move and dunk from Leonard? Let him play. Agreed, do think NU, UIC, PSU, IU, etc. would have had any answer for Leonard? Tisdale' easy to defend, he doesn't want to mix up in the first place and you can just push him away, don't believe Leonard can just be push away.

We can blame Weber for quite a bit however, when you have talent with no desire, it's worthless. McCamey, Davis, Tisdale simply don't want to win and there's nothing Weber can do to change this. If you don't want it, you don't want, Weber' told, pleaded with, screamed at and probably begged McCamey to take the ball to the hoop - he's not going to do it. Davis and Tisdale are soft, no matter what Weber does thery're not going to become competitive.
-
Think Angelo can manage two starting caliber O-lineman with his trade 1st and 2nd round picks for mutliple 3rd rounders MO?
-
For what's it's worth Richmond does seem to have the makeup and balls to take over, he alone could rip up Penn State. I hope he does.
-
I gotta agree, I'd take my chances with Richmond vs any of Indiana players - the couldn't and can't stop him, still don't know why he didn't get the ball every time down the court.
