The absence of Ron Rivera in that statement is pretty glaring.
-
Raisin knows what I'm talking about.
-
And if any Magic fans get uppity about some goonery I'll point and shout about them gainfully employing Matt Barnes.
-
I wouldn't mind sending someone out there to goon it up against Howard. It's almost entirely dead weight out there anyway so you've got a bevy of options.
-
Sweet, Rose went down hard after being fouled by Howard (again) and now he's getting his left wrist X-Rayed.
-
So Deng's going to be out "a while" and Gibson is gimping around with plantar fasciitis as well and may not play tonight. JOY
-
Cutting Anderson and Quinn loose to replace them with Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme doesn't seem to be the answer. That's a lateral move (at best) if I've ever seen one.
-
This is a weird story: http://www.sportsfanlive.com/sflreports/ Fast rising offensive line prospect from Bears mini-pipeline (Abilene Christian aka the schools that produced D. Manning and Johnny Knox) has to answer some um...uncomfortable questions.
-
I think Brandon Jennings is basically awesome.
-
I strongly contend that anyone who thinks losing Salmons/Tyrus for Flip/Warrick hasn't been a significant downgrade isn't watching the games. The perimeter defense has been terrible since Fish left and there's no Tyrus to help clean it up in the paint. No doubt losing Noah has shredded our team D but so has trading Salmons and Tyrus. It's blindingly obvious. It's not that they're so great...it's that the alternatives are so much worse--arguably among the very worst players in the entire league that get significant minutes.
-
Bloops, Deron just dunked on Rose's head.
-
This is a pretty sick PG match up right here.
-
He did host SNL.
-
I think Lebron is a pretty engaging guy as far as superstar athletes go. He's not quite as buttoned up as Brady or Tiger (or at least Tiger was). Mainly, he's just comfortable in his skin in a Manning kind of way. I mean if Derrick Rose were the best player in the NBA the poor guy would probably shrink away into a corner and only come out for games.
-
The most marketable thing about Chris Bosh is that he actually looks like a Raptor. http://lookliker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/chris-bosh-velociraptor.jpg
-
For someone like Lebron I agree that it wouldn't make much of a difference. If he's healthy he has pretty good reason to believe he'll make it up on the back end. But I do think that that extra year of guaranteed money means a lot more to someone like Chris Bosh who doesn't have the wattage of Lebron.
-
$30 million in hand is worth two in the bush.
-
It's not very Marxist of sulley to denigrate those salt of the Earth Oklahoma types.
-
Didn't the Red Wings win a bunch of Stanley Cups with Chris Osgood who was considered pretty mediocre?
-
Well my fear is that the Bulls will flat out suck. Maybe not in an absolute sense because they've put some wins in the bank but from here on out, with a tough upcoming schedule, things could get ugly if they don't start playing better. And I think you might be overestimating how much players actually know about the leagues they play in. They know basketball, not necessarily personnel, injuries, the salary cap, etc. They'll get some schooling from their advisers but who knows how much that really sinks in. When you follow the team on a day to day basis you're much more aware of how things like injuries and salary dumping affects the team. Now if the Bulls can keep their head above water they should be fine. I'm concerned about the scenario of a long, downward slide for the rest of the year.
-
Utah gets the Knicks pick. The Bucks can swap first rounders with the Bulls if they end up with a better record, which I am expecting at this point.
-
If how good the team is doesn't make a difference then I don't see how money does either. The Bulls can differentiate themselves on record, negatively or positively, not on dollars. Well they can differentiate themselves on dollars if they want to give David Lee a max deal. I suppose there's that. So excepting that the biggest selling point is Rose, which is fine. But even Rose doesn't exist in some universe where how good he is perceived is totally divorced from how well the team plays. He's the point guard after all.
-
Also why is N&G still peddling the theory that the Bulls have some money advantage. I mean they have a money advantage over other teams that can't offer a max deal. Big deal. There is no money advantage. There is a fairly hard salary cap and to the extent that the salary cap can be exceeded it doesn't favor the Bulls. It favors the FA's current team.

The Nets won't be in Brooklyn for a while, and nobody really knows how great that market is going to be if/when it opens. The Nets are playing in the Prudential Center next year, a nice hockey arena, but a hockey arena first and foremost in a completely dead Newark. There's a dream of some idyllic Brooklyn situation, but that's a long way off, and it could be a big risk to sign with a team with zero fans, zero media interest that is going to play in a hockey arena in Newark, NJ. They are a lesser "little brother" than the Clippers. There's no way that's accurate. The Clippers don't have any fans. The Nets have a Russian oligarch worth $17 billion willing to throw tons of money around without any consideration for profits. The Clips have Donald Sterling. And my understanding is that the Prudential Center agreement is only until the arena in Brooklyn opens up.

That appears to be some squiggly brown people language. Ron Artest should be investigated by Homeland Security.
