ZBo looks like the best power forward in the world right now

ZBo's a god damned man

Well you can never have too many good linemen but the Bears need to find a WR who can run a route correctly and isn't a midget.

Paea is a real Lovie type of guy.

I thought the Gruden predraft QB stuff was pretty damn good.

Love Hankerson. Dude's a technician.

congrats to Eric "E" Murphy for leading his team to its first series win

Durant made every damn shot

haha, Durant and Westbrook are gonna get mad at each other again

35 to 10 on FTAs huh

dang gary neal

Lol bogans

Block party

That blonde sideline chick is outstanding.

Sure is.

It's a relatively recent development. He's always been the most emotional of the group, but in the last 20-30 games (RIGHT AFTER THE ALL STAR GAME, HMM) it's kind of become overbearing. Something will give eventually, and probably will after last night. He got roasted on TNT and twitter/public perception. I heard KD ripped him on Twitter too but no one caught it because they thought it was Klingon

And you wanted to be my latex salesman.

hook it up with some good Canucks message boards

Until Rose hurt his ankle the Bulls had a decided advantage in terms of being rested and healthy relative to the rest of the contenders. That was the silver lining of Booz and Noah missing so much time. Plus SA, Boston, and LA are just old as [expletive]. Miami's older too.

What's up with Z's velocity? 87 MPH no action belt high fasballs?

Yeah there is. Don't take them. He's not a good three point shooter. Pretty simple. I went over this a few weeks ago. If the defense is going to go sag off, go underneath screens, etc. then the right play is for Rose to take the open 3. Of course he has to make them at a reasonable clip for them to be the right play. But he's obviously a better shooter than he's shown this series. Fact is, when he's playing off of Bogans, Brewer, and Deng (to a lesser extent) the defender is always going to take the option of collapsing into the lane (or he's already camping in it) to take away the dribble drive. The Bulls have blown the doors off of teams in the 4th all season because we stick Korver in and he either gets wide open looks or the lane is available for Rose all the way to the hoop. What I don't get is why we don't run the same offense for stretches of the game before the last few minutes. It works! I do agree that Rose forced some looks that weren't there this series. No doubt. But over the course of the year he's really taken about the same amount of 3s as any other legit superstar perimeter scorer and made them at a similar clip Who? list them. LeBron takes about 2 fewer than rose. wade too. kobe is the only one thats close, but he's a chucker and that's not helping him either. rose is shooting like 30% since december. that's atrocious. it would be one thing if he was tkaing like 2-3 a game, but he's not. he's taking like 5-6 every night, and putting up like 8-9 is happening now too. Lebron in Cleveland, Kobe, Durant, DWill, Ellis, Eric Gordon, Manu

he's. not. making. them. you've been saying the same thing for months, and he continues to NOT make them. there are better options than doing something that is proven to fail consistently. there always are. If he's not making them we're not going anywhere. You're just vaguely hand waving about better options. What are they specifically? The play doesn't end when Rose decides to pass up what you consider an ill advised three. You just need to separate out bad shooting from a bad basketball decision. He can make them. He needs to if he's ever going to be the #1 option.

But over the course of the year he's really taken about the same amount of 3s as any other legit superstar perimeter scorer and made them at a similar clip and those guys generally have more legit 2nd options (Wade/Lebron, Gasol, Westbrook, etc). In today's NBA, your best perimeter scorer takes lots of threes.

It's hilarious watching some of you guys rage about Keith. I know nothing about hockey but you were saying the same damn things last year when he won the Norris, gold medal, and the Cup. "Looks disinterested, WAY WORSE THAN LAST SEASON, etc"

Yes, Rose needs to take (and make) wide open threes. There's no other option. He did take some bad ones today I agree. If you didn't notice, Rose trying to force his way into collapsed passing/driving lanes wasn't especially productive either.
