  1. 80% of NBA coaches are recycled more often than cardboard. I'm not worried about not being able to fire him. Coaches with good records are canend all the time.
  2. The Wizards looking like the [expletive] Globetrotters out there.
  3. He's actually pretty good. Around 78% or something. But yeah those misses sucked.
  4. Haha. I dont have CSN so i'm just following on bulls.com. Was this one as epic as the one saturday night? Basically the same except it was a one hander. Directly off the back rim and popped way up.
  5. I can't even begin to explain this. Washington's throwing up a bunch of crap. ONLY MY TEAMS
  6. Noah blows another wide open dunk.
  7. Fail mode in full progress to start the 2nd half.
  8. We already have an unproductive RB who doesn't break tackles, can't make guys miss, and is a good pass catcher. Hopefully ours can blame it on injuries.
  9. Flip just dunked on Javale McGee. Did not see that coming.
  10. Noah's still playing his way back but is looking pretty spry. Gibson is awesome. JJ is finally showing some confidence.
  11. Yeah, he stopped playing in 2008 after the epic win in the US Open.
  12. I agree. He can miss The Masters and not worry too much about slowing down his pursuit of the all time record. He'll have many more shots at Augusta. But the US Open and British are at Pebble and St. Andrews, where he has dominated. He won't get another crack at either until 2015.
  13. Pelton also said it was important that the Bulls got viable rotation players in Flip and Warrick rather than pure expirings like Elson and K. Thomas. I'm skeptical on Flip because he has sucked badly this year and intrigued by Warrick. Plus we STILL have Hinrich instead of pure expirings which was part of the calculus (the biggest part considering the Bulls record since Kirk was inserted in the startign lineup) about how this team could fall off a cliff if we moved everyone for cap space.
  14. Boston isn't even in the top 3. Atlanta's better.
  15. That sounds like it was written by someone who got caught cheating on his high school girlfriend. I don't buy it.
  16. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4924836 Looks like the Tmac deal is finally done as a 3 way.
  17. I don't think anyone outside of Chicago would've called the NFC championship game a classic. It wasn't that competitive save for a stretch in the 3rd quarter and Rex was pretty awful. I'm probably short changing the Seattle game a bit. That was a good one. But the games I was talking about were utter insanity. The MNF game is still one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen in sports. Edit: Coming back to win from a 20 point half time deficit without scoring an offensive touchdown plus Denny's classic meltdown. For a regular season game, it had it all.
  18. Then maybe you need to expand your sports watching, because that's pathetic. They lost in the first round against an aging team that lost in the 2nd round. All in all a mediocre result, at best. There's nothing pathetic about it. I'll have more vivid images from that series 20 years from now than I will from anything the Bears did in the playoffs in 2006 save Hester's KO return. That's absolutely ridiculous. You aren't a Bears fan then if you will have more vivid images of a first round playoff loss to a fading team than of a top seeded Bears team going to the Super Bowl. Oh ok I'm not a Bears fan. Glad we got that straightend out. Honestly, my most vivid memories from the Bears the last decade weren't from the 2006 playoffs. They were the Monday Night game against Arizona and the back to back weeks Brown took pick 6s to the house in overtime in 01. Sometimes the magnitude of the game isn't everything.

  20. I think so as well but, could that be another max FA? Wade and Bosh for example? Unless Hinrich is dealt there's not gonna be room for 2 max FAs. There might not even be room if we do deal him. Besides, we're looking at a bench of Alexander, Warrick, Pargo, Johnson, Flip "Ronald" Murray, and Acie Law. None of those guys are viable rotation players on a good team except maybe Warrick and most of them won't be back anyway. We're probably losing Miller too. If the Bulls are fortunate enough to get 1 stud they'll need to find a few solid rotation guys. The draft would be key.
  21. The difference is that there is much more detail about Tiger's "daliances" is out than there was with Kobe though. The number of women, the possible porn star pregnancies, and other lurid details that have come out are going to have an affect. It's not that it's worse...it's just that there more stuff out there...it just doesn't seem to end. Wait till people start yelling stuff at him on the course. Tiger's gonna lose his cool for sure. The Kobe Bryant police report on Smoking Gun is always a good read if yoo want more detail.
  22. Those Pacers and Bucks teams best players were what, Reggie Miller and Sidney Moncrief? Very good Hall of Fame players but Wade is a true superstar. Of course the ascendancy of Lebron could just render what everyone else does moot. But yeah, I'd feel comfortable going forward.
  23. my logic is perfectly sound. If the Bulls played like crap the rest of the way, which is what would happen if they lost Kirk, fish, and tyrus for nothing, Noah and rose would look a lot worse as franchise building blocks. Talent doesn't exist in some vacuum separate from a team's record. This is ridiculously shortsighted. If you threw records out the window a core of Brook Lopez and Devin Harris would be a reasonable equivalent to Noah and Rose. It helps the Bulls that the Nets are historically awful. That edge would be diminished if the Bulls went in the tank the rest of the way. You guys say that a free agent would look at Rose and Noah and say, "Hey, those are pretty good pieces" while I fear that a free agent would look at them and at least think, "How good are they really if they needed average players like Hinrich, Tyrus Thomas, and Salmons to be competitive?"
