The top 4 in the East is weird. Cleveland clearly looks like the best team right now but I don't think anyone is sold on them coming out of the East. Orlando is a nightmare for Cleveland, Boston could probably beat Orlando and Cleveland yet Atlanta handles them but can't beat the Magic.
-
Man, at least get a shot off. Collins for some dumb reason starts dribbling to break down his defender in his own backcourt.
-
I don't believe that.
-
^That is soft as hell. Gotta rack up a lot of Ws in that stretch to compete for a 5th seed.
-
Don't know, but Sam Smith Tweeted that this 5-2 trip is the best Bulls road trip since 1996-97, when that team went 5-1 on a West Coast trip. That's incredible. And now the Bulls have a nice homestand coming up. This is a real opportunity for the Bulls to make a move. It would be pretty apropos for the team to crap the bed when they should be making a move up the standings too.
-
I know. That was ridiculous. He got pushed in the back by Collison and hacked by Peja.
-
Ugly win but I'll take it. Five in a row on the road!
-
That'll do, Brad.
-
Miller loves to fancy pass sadly. He had Kirk wide open for a 3.
-
Paul is gimping around too. That was just a disastrous pass by NOH.
-
Hahahahha YES!!!!
-
And Noah screws up on defense again. Come on man. You didn't have to leave West there, Kirk had him.
-
Noah has to do better than that on defense. Just let him drift for an open 3.
-
That lead evaporated quickly.
-
I think it's fair to point out that Manning dismantled the Jets very good defense while the Saints basically were outplayed but managed to stick around and win it in the end. It's just one game so of course you can't draw sweeping conclusions from it. If the roles had been flipped people would be saying this would be closer to a toss up.
-
I'm really not getting why some people think the Colts are just that much better than the Saints. Like I've said before, I really think it has something to do with the fact that they are the Saints. It's etched in our collective minds that the Saints = bad football. It's like if the Royals were suddenly winning 100 games a year, I'd have a hard time taking them seriously even in the face of the stats. The spread is 5.5. Pretty large, but not overwhelming. The Colts dismantled a team in the AFC title game while the Saints were very fortunate to win. I wouldn't be surprised or anything if the Saints won. Personally, you're just overblowing the extent to which people think Indy will blow 'em out. As far as how close people think the game will be it's definitely the closest matchup in the last few years I think.
-
Ah yes, the no respect card. Like clockwork it shows up every year before the Super Bowl.
-
Yep.

This is the funniest NBA column I've read in a long, long time. I can't tell if this is real or satire or what. http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/Whitlock-Oden-pics-make-it-hard-to-measure-up-12810 Jason Whitlock spends an entire column about how Oden and other NBA players makes NBA beat writers insecure about the size of their dicks.

http://www.csnne.com/pages/landing?Pierce-Rondo-expected-to-be-named-as-All=1&blockID=170983&feedID=3945 Rose in the ASG...maybe. The reserves are announced on TNT tonight.
-
Zach Randolph has been indisputably good this year. He's a monster on the offensive glass, has a legit post game, and he isn't jacking up lots of bad 3s any more. His defense is pretty bad though. Memphis is pretty damn good if you haven't noticed this year. They're solid everywhere except at point guard...too bad they drafted Thabeet over Evans, Flynn, Curry, Jennings, etc.
-
Kevin Rogers? Ex ND guy right? I remember he was an up and comer under Bob Davie but then Notre Dame actually had to play football.
-
Thanks for the breakdown. Under the scenario you're probably better off getting one max guy and filling in the rest of the roster anyway. With Thomas (as maddening as he is), Kirk, and Salmons gone that's a pretty dry cupboard left even if you could somehow add a Bosh and Johnson type. Get Dino-Bosh and add another effective piece (or keep Kirk if need be) and I'll have considered it a good offseason. Maybe our own JJ can develop into something as well.
-
Because he makes more money for more years. Salmons can opt out after this season. My hope is that moving Kirk into the starting lineup has made him appealing to a contender and we can trade him for expirings. Then Salmons can move back into the starting lineup and play well enough to convince himself to opt out. And then we can strikeout on two big FA fish.
-
One can only hope this means Kirk is being moved...I think he's built up his value a bit after that abysmal start.
