Yeah, he's a pretty white guy sprouting dongs; nobody cares about his [expletive] throws. They can plant him there forever and nobody will say anything.

5/14 NY Mets (Niese) @ CUBS (Wood) 1:20, CSN
Sammy Sofa replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
is that who does it? I do no understand the need for formatted titles I guess having the date and the opposing team in the title, as well as the thread being in the Game Thread section, simply isn't enough to guide people. -
I agree; hopefully he gets traded. if you're hopeful about something, why wouldn't you be hopeful that he realizes his monstrous potential as a power hitting MIF with an incredibly exciting hitting style you monster? THAT'S what you hope for. not trading for some dumb ass pitcher. Where in that I post did I say trade him for a pitcher? I'd much rather he be in a trade for a monster bat. I hope he and Starlin improve; package them for Stanton.

It looks like the conversation might've passed this by, but I went through the effort so here it is for reference. Players that averaged 20+ MPG this year, by order of MPG Cavs: 30, 29, 28, 26, 24, 24, 23 Bulls: 34, 34, 30, 29, 26, 25 Sure, if we're assuming Rose is going to be crippled most of each season and Mirotic is never going to expand his role then that's a problem.

Plus there's always the chance he ends up leaving Cleveland again and goes to another team people can complain about.

MAGIC.

I rest my psychopants case. Yea, well, when we win a World Series we'll all be going psychotic. http://concreteplayground.com//v3/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/don-draper-gif.gif

Staggering. Plus the Bulls are a group of aging players and the Cavs...aren't? That seems unfair.
-
This doesn't make a ton of sense; the Cavs aren't a particularly young team. Here's the Bulls' ages this year: 37, 35, 35, 34, 32, 30, 30, 29, 28, 26, 24, 24, 24, 23 Here's the Cavs' ages this year: 37, 34, 34, 34, 30, 30, 29, 26, 26, 25, 24, 24, 23, 23 The Cavs aren't immune to injuries and aging, and they're not significantly younger than the Bulls, so it seems odd to present the Bulls as if they're a bunch of hobbled old men and this was their best chance to beat the Cavs for the forseeable future. Sure, Kyrie is only 23, but Rose is just 26, Butler is 25 and Mirotic is 24; we're not talking a team of creaky vets vs. a bunch of young turks.

Speak for yourself, psychopants.

DeAndre Jordan. Then he got bad again.

Some people just like watching playoff basketball and can handle their team losing without bemoaning it like this is their only shot at being competitive. Contrary to some people's meatball rantings, this isn't some kind of end to their ability to be competitive in the playoffs for the foreseeable future. It just comes back to how Chicago fans are so [expletive] terrified of their teams failing that any kind of defeat in a key game or series has to signal some kind of dramatic failure that's going to haunt them for years. The Bulls have an excellent core to build around going forward and very likely will be right back in it with just as good, if not better, shot at making it to the Finals.
-
Ugh, no, please no. This team is (or should be) too good for 'well, it takes a little of the sting away' or 'what a great series'. This team had a trip to the Finals in their sights and barring 2 straight wins over LeBron (which we've never done in the playoffs), they let it slip away. There's nothing that takes the sting away from that. I have no idea why you keep talking about this team like they were destined to make it to the Finals. They were going to have to battle to get there, and this series has been a hell of a fight, and most people get enjoyment out of seeing something like that. You've been talking like you've just assumed they were going to lose it all after losing game 2, so I don't know why you're chastising other people for not being as miserable as you, or even still following in the first place.
-
Or does this mean they're actually one of the terrible teams that fans of good teams complain that they can't beat? http://bloguin.com/thepensblog/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2014/04/kramer_screaming.gif

Like I said, I don't want to come across like a Noah superfan; his injuries have clearly caught up to him and he's not any kind of a long term answer (I seriously doubt anyone is thinking he'll still be here after his deal is up). That said, even as his offensive abilities have noticeably diminished, he's still out there playing as a valuable defensive asset, so he hasn't fallen off the cliff so many seem to think he has. The main change has been that he can't dunk like he used to and he's inexplicably forgotten how to tip in/lay up a ball sometimes. He is still, however, a plus player out there far more often than not.
-
Hell, looking at the stats, what really killed the Bulls last night was how completely terrible the bench was last night. Hinrich, Mirotic, Snell and Brooks were all brutally bad, and Mirotic and Hinrich had to see WAY too much time because of foul trouble across the board.
-
I'm really not trying to be some kind of Noah superfan, but I am baffled by how often people here react like he had a nightmare game, figured I blocked out how bad he was the night before and then go and look at the stats and see that nothing of the kind happened. Meanwhile you have people pining for Mirotic, who HAS been garbage except for, like, one game (holy God, he was horrendous last night) and Taj like they're producing so much more. They're not. Taj and Noah are basically neck and neck in terms of productive floor time and Mirotic has been the blurst.
-
Or Butler hits that 3 or the Bulls grab that rebound and the outcome is different. This has nothing to do with LeBron feeling like taking a game by the horns or whatever the [expletive] and has everything to do with the Cavs pulling out two close games. Yeah, the ridiculous narratives people convince themselves are, well, ridiculous. Do people need him to be a villain so badly that they need to make up nonsense things like "he didn't feel like playing in a playoff game oh now he feels like playing?"
-
If Gasol can come back and be any kind of a factor I think this definitely goes to 7 games. I'm still flabbergasted over the call against Taj tonight. What the hell is the point of video review if they're going to ignore something obvious?
-
Start looking better, Baez; this is the role you were born to play, baby.
-
beersoakedivy, seriously, what pissed you off so much about people posting stolen base stats and why did you never reply to those posts?
-
The weird thing about DeAndre Jordan is that he DID get better at shooting from the line. His first two season he was a little worse than he is now, but then stepped up as a .452 shooter in '10-'11 and then up to .525 the next season.
