    I don't think AST-TO ratio is very relevant for shooting guards, especially when their primary duty is to score. I think Gordon is a really valuable player, but I understand his limited appeal. I'm kind of intrigued by a bigger lineup with Salmons at SG and Deng at SF, but does anyone trust Deng to stay healthy? If Gordon isn't resigned, the SG-SF depth is really thin. On a totally different note, given how the Bulls got hammered on the boards by the Celtics, I'd love to see the Bulls find a way to draft Dejuan Blair. I don't trust Deng to be any good even if he is healthy. If you can convince 06-07 Deng to come back then I'm all on board with letting Gordon walk and moving Salmons to SG. Blair would be a nice addition.

    Tebow was robbed.

    Not with its decided schematic advantage.

    Russell might have a stronger arm from one arm slot and with his feet properly set. He still takes longer to get rid of the ball than Cutler. I'll take Cutler's arm when moving up in the pocket, on the run, or without having his feet set over anyone's.

    Let him walk and use the money you save to trade for a big. John Salmons can replace 85% of what Gordon did offensively and is much better defensively. You need to allocate your resources, and with Salmons signed to a good deal, Gordon is a tab bit redundant. Don't get me wrong, I really like Gordon, his is the only current Bulls jersey I know, and I know hes a terrific offensive player. But we have to be smart here, and being smart is using our money to trade for a low post player like Bosh if available. If no good post players are available, I'd hold onto that money for 2010. That's kind of my feeling as well. If they let Gordon walk, though, it's probably going to be VERY ugly in the beginning of the season until they learn to adjust without him.

    Pacquaio actually ended up drawing against Juan Manuel Marquez in a fight where he won the first round 10-6. A lot of people thought Marquez won that fight although it wouldn't have been a draw if one of the judges didn't mistakenly score the round 10-7 instead of 10-6. Interestingly, Marquez is Floyd Mayweather's next opponent.

    So what do you guys think about Ben being a free agent? Off the top of my head, this is the biggest decision Pax will have to make since he's been the GM. There's valid arguments both ways. It's a risk to let him walk but there's a risk in keeping him as well. Does it hamstring the development of the team as a whole to keep him? Will Tyrus and Luol ever step up without him? I keep going back and forth on this one.

    So long, Ben. You're going to be deadly when you can find a team with a post presence or who knows how to get you semi open looks.

    Fight is tomorrow night! http://www.nowboxing.com/wp-content/uploads/pacmanweighin2.jpg http://www.nowboxing.com/wp-content/uploads/hattonweighin2.jpg http://www.nowboxing.com/wp-content/uploads/pacquiaovshattonweighinpic.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdH-Ot87rsE&feature=PlayList&p=919C25114112BC9A&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=3 That's the first episode of the always entertaining 24/7 prefight documentary series. You can find the rest of them on YouTube as well. Anyone else watching? Anyone else even care? This will probably be better than the biggest hyped fights of the last few years--mainly because Oscar De La Hoya isn't fighting. Prediction: Pacquiao by UD. I think he'd win anyway but because it's boxing I'm going to assume the fix is in so a potential Pacman/Mayweather fight isn't derailed. That's the biggest potential fight out there by a mile.

    All this legendary series talk is dumb. It's exciting, but you hit it on the head. It's two mediocre teams who happen to match up well. If these were two teams with ambition to play for, then maybe, in their current states it's a joke. Are you still peddling that ridiculous "lol the Bulls are so bad they are better off in the lottery!" meme? Maybe that held water a few months ago and I'm not saying the Bulls are by any means a great team--or a very good one. But you put the team out there now and have them play a full season and it's a 50+ win caliber team. Nothing to write home about but they shouldn't be ashamed about sneaking into the playoffs any more.

    Reading this thread after the fact is a joy.

    A technical for kicking away towels and not even facing the court? Kill me.

    This looks familiar.

    Rondo had his arm hooked. He didn't protest at all.

    Kirk and Brad have been huge. The best thing Tyrus has done is make Pierce bleed.
  20. SpongeWorthy
    Sit Gordon until crunch time or until he can get a better defensive assignment. Kirk's defense on Allen is night and day.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    GET GORDON OFF OF ALLEN CHRIST.

    Gordon can't guard Allen in the 2nd half. He's laying on every screen.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    Gordon/Hinrich in foul trouble for the Bulls and Baby/Perk in foul trouble for the Celtics. Allen is killing them with the off the ball movement.
