  1. Embarrassing.
  2. They won't finish within 10 games of the Bulls. Of course this team is going to win 65 games so it wouldn't be the end of the world.
  3. Brooklyn? Lol
  4. Richt and Muschamp gonna get canned?
  5. Fun day in the SEC East Also lol spurrier
  6. Funk mixed up Paul George and David West about 5 times. Rose made it look easy.
  7. Following online sounds like the knee is OK.
  8. So we saved Mexicos asses yes?
  9. I'm lazy someone fill me in on what's at stake
  10. Optimistic me takes this view and makes me frustrated that he didn't work out these inevitable bumps in the road this out last season. Pessimistic me sees this announcement as the first in a series of announcements leading towards Rose being diagnosed with a degenerative knee condition.
  11. Just take it up the middle
  12. Why is Cutler looking to the sidelines for plays in the 2 minute drill at this point in his career?
  13. So I call up my buddy Joe House to say that Magic leaving ESPN is like your hot college girlfriend who thought she ruled campus until she put on a few pounds and a new crop of freshmen chicks knocked her from her perch and that's why Kevin Garnett is the 27th greatest basketball player of all time.
  14. Wondering if Taj continues to play well in the preseason Thibs will throw him into the starting lineup and make Boozer the de facto go to option for the 2nd unit. Rose, Butler, Deng, Gibson, Noah would be sick defensively, could be good enough offensively if Rose is right and Gibson's offense is for real and would allow us to hide Boozer's D on (presumably) lesser offensive players. Biggest concern for this team outside of health is probably scoring punch off the bench.
  15. Can that team beat the Heat, Thunder, Spurs, or Rockets? If so, then don't trade for Aldridge. I just don't think they can be that good, but I'm willing to wait 5 months to find out. In playoff crunch time, Deng and Noah can't be relied upon to score regularly. Jimmy maybe, but I want to see his development. The Bulls are 64-18 the last 82 games Derrick Rose has played in, IIRC. That's basically the epitome of a team that has a core that should be going for it. Of course things can change and they could be proactive about making changes on the margins. This team will be really, really good if Rose is Rose. 60+ wins, top 3 defense, and top 8ish (potentially better) offense. No doubt, but they really aren't close to winning a championship. They aren't better than the other teams I mentioned because they can't score with other top 5 teams in the playoffs in half court offenses. This narrative is based on one playoff series from 3 seasons ago. And hell, that might have been nothing more than a young team entering the upper echelon for the first time and taking its lumps just like every other championship caliber team does.

  17. At some point you have to stop them from getting 6+ yards on every 1st and 10
  18. This defense can't win first down
  19. Review every play you [expletive] wits
  20. Looks like a season ender for Manuel.
  21. Probably not because nobody cares about Rondo and the Celtics play better without him.
