Funk needs to reel him in.

It's a simple game
-
Maybe if we'll lose we'll make a move
-
Yeah, it's pretty bad. I almost feel like you've got to build up a lead with Boozer while the opposing offense figures it out and then take out Boozer before they start stringing together a bunch of baskets around the rim.

what the [expletive]

Go away Cleveland

Is this version of the Cavs the worst team ever?
-
This is pretty terrible basketball.
-
Yeah, I'm polyannaish on Webb. He's pretty talented and he's athletic enough to hold up in a 7 step drop. Seems like most of his problems are brain farts with blown assignments and getting owned on occasion by the straight up bull rush.

I can't imagine Melo turning down an extension to play with Rose, Noah, and Boozer. Of course I can't imagine how we'd get him without giving up at least Noah in the first place. Thibs can turn anyone into a decent defender (except Boozer maybe). We're #1 in defensive efficiency with guys that were considered black holes on defense playing big minutes (Rose and Boozer). Deng is a phenomenal defender--few can guard a guy like Kobe one night and Dirk another night and do a good job of it--but Melo is an extraordinary scorer that the Bulls would kill for. I do consider the possibility that the Bulls could be better than losing a lot of talent (esp. Noah) for Melo by just getting a serviceable 2 guard that can guard and shoot (e.g. Mayo) for far cheaper. But standing pat? No, no way.

You don't think we're a championship team with Rose, Melo, Boozer, and Noah? What more could you want?
-
Don't agree with his comment on Melo at all. You have to do basically any non-Rose, non-Noah deal (and you have to at least consider some Melo packages that include Noah, IMO) for him. I'm pretty convinced that Thibs could turn someone of Melo's athleticism into a passable defender, not as good as Deng, but good enough. Rose's FG attempts do need to come down a bit anyway. They'd be a more balanced version of Miami with one of the best glue/energy guys at C and a semi-deep bench instead of the pu pu platter that Miami has to trot out there.
-
He's going to have to be Iversonian for us to win without Boozer and Noah and what amounts to 2 on 5 on offense with Gibson, Thomas, and Bogans in the lineup. 9/28 looks bad but there's no way anyone else on the floor besides Deng can even get a look if Rose doesn't create for them, especially against a smart, veteran defensive team like Dallas that knows how to key in on guys. Although I'd explore Gibson in the post a little more...it's kind of weird that he settles for those jumpers when he was doing decent work on the block in the first month or so when Boozer was out. I noticed Watson was playing more with Rose in the 4th quarter last night which is something we should look at for scoring. The defense is sick though.
-
You guys don't actually believe that TS% is some universal law hokum do you? If Rose doesn't shoot a lot this team has no chance at all to win. The idea that this team could be competitive without Rose taking a lot of shots while Noah and Boozer are out is utterly laughable.

The Bears are nondescript nationally. You know how certain teams in the NFL have their own dedicated reporter from ESPN (i.e. Werder and Sal for Dallas and Philly)? The Bears would never ever have that. I've always said the Bears national imprint is not commensurate with having the largest unshared market in the country.

Wasn't Bayless something of a Cutler fan boy even last year? Of course now that people are starting to come around on him Bayless has to phase shift to claiming he stinks.

Those numbers don't take into account all the Seahawks fans gathering to watch the game at their local independent cappuccino bar

Mandel's explanation: "Scholarships are based on the academic calendar, not the football calendar. Because USC only signed 18 players last year, 14 of whom enrolled last fall, it can count its nine early enrollees in the current class toward the 2010-11 school year. Should the original ruling stand, the 15-player limit goes into effect in 2011-12 and will include all players that enroll this fall (which may include some recruited walk-ons). It still can't go over the NCAA-imposed 75-scholarship limit for its overall roster."

Bears vs. Seahawks, Sunday Jan 16 at noon

Forte and Olsen are gonna have to be huge again. I just don't see Knox and Hester getting open all that much against those DBs. At least we'll have Bennett this time.
