Bunting's latest mock has the Bears taking Stephen Hill at 19

I like how you make "third best team" seem all facty. It's actually wildly optimistic considering our best player has an injury that no one knows the extent of and saps him of his greatest strengths and our second best player has one working hand. Seriously guys, do you think the Heat are worse than last year and the Bulls are better? I don't get it. Were only some of us watching the clinical approach to defending Rose that allowed to us to keep it close but shut him down when it mattered? If you wanna crown their asses... But seriously, if the Heat are this powerhouse it would've manifested itself by now. They've played 59 win ball (over an 82 game season) since the Big 3 got together. Very good but not invincible.

Lebron's suck pigs getting geared up for the playoffs

Much like NBA scouts.

Least dramatic tourney ever

Haw, OJ did the guns after making a near dagger three against OKC

It took him until Houston was up double digits (after being down 15) for him to say they'd come alive

welp, first back to back regular season losses in over a year

Earl Boykins ball pressure murdering our PGs

"Ahhh [expletive]!"

If you consider regular season performance equivalent to postseason performance. Every all time great team throws up a kickass regular season or two during their run before "savvy vets throttling it back and saving it for the playoffs" mode. Besides, they didn't even win the championship last year.

Don't we have ~150 games of fairly solid evidence that the Heat are a very good but not overwhelming team?
-
That wasn't traveling

Meanwhile I close my eyes and think about that overflowing pipeline full of NBA talent that is the Big 10

I can't believe a sports talk radio host wrote that. Pretty impressive. Anyhow: http://i.imgur.com/9nxZV.gif

Naturally he buries a three in Jarrett Jack's face to grab the lead with 20 seconds left. 3/21

Kobe is 2-20 from the field

what are you asking? How you can say "obviously this job isn't that great when you were rejected by your 1st 2 options, and wound up with a meh candidate." Was UNC 2000 obviously not a great job? Was UK 2007 obviously not a great job? I thought Matt Doherty was considered a home run and Gillispie a pretty damn good hire? Doherty was like their 6th choice. buh, I guess you're right. I remember ND being better than they were when Doherty was coaching them. They had a very high profile bubble bursting IIRC.

I never weighed in one way or another. IL definitely has a better recruiting base, but my amended list would seem to pretty clearly put Louisville ahead. Louisville had the good fortune of being able to hire a Hall of Fame coach who wanted to stick it his former blue blood program. Outside of that, Illinois is a better job, IMO.
-
How? I think its a top 15 program. Even if all of the teams on abucks list were better than us. That still puts us at 15. I mean sure his list is awful, he didn't include Indiana in it, but even using it we are right at 15. Clearly the job isn't that great otherwise they wouldn't have crapped the bed on the coaching search, but you keep changing conversations between historical rankings, current ratings and how good the job is. By getting our third choice? Did Gunether crap the bed when he got Self? Because he wasn't his first choice. We still got a young coach that was in demand and would have been in more demand in one year. Self and Weber were definitely hotter candidates than Groce is at the time they were hired by Illinois weren't they?
