Urlacher should have some good years left. He'll be a big help this year.
-
They were definitely one of the more athletic teams I'd ever seen at the time. I've never seen special teams like that. It was ridiculous.
-
OMG OMG John Clayton said the Bears offense is the best thing he's seen in training camp so far! (2007) Jay Cutler is throwing bullets all over the field, he's making Devin Hester look like an all pro receiver (2009) Yeah, I bought that pretty hard. Here are some choice quotes of Bears training camp 2007. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp07/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2956884 That whole John Clayon article would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

The fluffier the off season fluff pieces are the worse the Bears play. I'll never forget how the media made Rex and the offense look All-World going into 2007.

YES!

I would lock New Jersey at #2 if I could.

Go anyone but New Jersey!

The Angels are not an LA team. They're an Orange County team. There's a huge difference demographically and OC is so big that they didn't have to siphon off one potential Dodgers fan to become a big market franchise.
-
I really don't see Tennessee or Chicago being in the bottom of the league like King suggests. Tennessee is going with Young from day 1 and the Bears should almost be better by default no? Of course it's the NFL and they could end up being horrible.
-
Harris has been an average point guard for most of his career, really. He couldn't get past Jason Terry in the rotation in Dallas and he had one legitimately great year in NJ. He's had two years where he's played in more than 70 games. Plus there's been an influx of really good point guards in the league the last few years. He's a top 10-15 PG, not a championship piece.
-
Well I'll definitely be rooting for the Nets to get the #3 pick. It worked out for Rod Thorn once so why not give it to them again.
-
That's where I point to their near-record awfulness this year and question whether Wall/Turner alone puts them even in the top 10 in the East. You'd really take the Nets roster with Wall/Turner over Chicago's? I wouldn't.
-
Because there's a 25% chance they'll have John Wall? Yes, if the Nets sign Lebron James they'll have a better roster than the Bulls.
-
These last few posts just got me thinking that there the media market factor for NJ is completely overblown. I think the Clippers, Nets, and even the White Sox have proven you can be in a major media market and be utterly irrelevant nationally.
-
Rose has to go to the Berto Center to take calls from Lebron?

Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks Thread!!!!!!
SpongeWorthy replied to chuckywang's topic in Other Sports
I thought the Hawks were pretty lucky. Niemi was unbelieveable. Nabokov was ok but the Sharks had way more juicy chances. Chicago also lost too many draws in its own zone. A few power plays would be nice too. How unusual is it for a team not to get one power play for a whole game? -
Eh, they were clearly rusty. They'll be fine.

Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks Thread!!!!!!

Those stats tell me that you guys are too hard on Duncan Keith. -
I guess the most immediate thing to root for is for the Nets to get jobbed in the lottery. What's the lowest they can pick? 3rd?

I'm just not sure what cap space does to help a LeBron-less Cleveland. Yeah they might get someone in a trade but they don't necessarily need cap space to make the trade. Either way, if LeBron left Cleveland, the pressure is on to do something with that team immediately. My theory is, even without LeBron the Cavs can still be relevant for 1-2 years just because of how in the spotlight they were during the LeBron years. If they can't make something of that team in that time frame the Cavs will quickly become Cleveland, wasteland of the NBA again (providing they don't strike it rich in the lottery). Grim assessment but that's what the Cavs would be looking at without LeBron IMO. That said despite everything that's been said and everything that's happened, I still think theres a good chance he stays after some reflection. His postgame quotes talked about discussing his situation with his teammates to help him make the right choice. I could be wrong about this, but I thought when he was talking about his "team," he was referring to his group of advisers, his agents/friends/family/etc. Maybe that's just the Bulls fan in me talking, but that's the impression I got.... That's definitely what he meant.
-
Unless they know he's not coming back no matter what. Even so...unless you're getting back something great you just let him walk I think. The PR is more important than getting Luol Deng back. I'd rather just have the cap space anyway since they're back at square one.
-
I can't see why Cleveland would accept any S&T deal for Lebron. Unless it's just an overwhelming offer (re: not Luol Deng) you make James turn his back on the city and sign somewhere else outright.
-
they easily cleared 60 wins this year? they won 61 and their pythagorean wins were 59. and they were only 2-2 against boston and orlando during the regular season. lebron and mediocre cast can beat up on bad teams but teams with more depth can play with the cavs during the regular season and then game plan to force guys like mo williams and varejao to beat the during a long playoff series. They lost their last 4 when Lebron was sitting so I'd say so.
-
A team with a truly wretched supporting cast and totally relying on one player is like Kobe in 2006. The Cavs have good players. They just choke.
