  1. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6g0io4QKH1qcqv7c.gif They were punting on first down basically for the whole fourth quarter. They are lucky Von Miller and their defense bailed them out. Haven't seen a team win a super bowl without attempting to play offense.
  2. Brock Osweiler has to be disappointed.
  3. Where is the Archie Manning cam?
  4. yeah i don't think so Is Von miller having the greatest game in NFL history? He's won this game by himself.
  5. Denver is pathetic. They will lose this game.
  6. This is a horrible game. I can't believe these are the two best teams. Denvers offense is really bad.
  7. They keep building solid late game leads and then [expletive] themselves. How can the same thing happen every night.
  8. It's not possible how bad they are at the end of games.
  9. This is a game we need to somehow close out. Defense quality all night (both sides) has been all star gamesque. Only 3 solid scorers on the floor tonight and everybody is scoring at will.
  10. A much more talented Scott skiles is a tremendous coach.
  11. Are the advanced stats still saying rose sucks? To me (despite some horrendous play in key possessions and the Utah game) he's been playing quite well recently. Pau has been playing great, Taj is ok, Butler has been an elite player. The team has some talent. Look at the other rosters in the east. We should be right behind Toronto and Cleveland. We are on a nosedive trajectory. We are gonna get slaughtered tonight by Minnesota. This road trip has been a boon for the lower half of the western conference. When these jerks get back to Chicago I doubt anybody is still caring about this season.
  12. Kerr has coached one year with an amazing amount of talent. Luke Walton is going as well or better. Jury out on Kerr vs thibs. Difficult to compare. Rivers has had the most talented team in the NBA about a half dozen times over the last 10 seasons. He also had Thinbs next to him when he was making finals appearances. I consider him way overrated. Carlisle is good I guess. Not sure how to rate him vs thibs because he's basically thibs with 10 more years of chances to win. Also he's enjoyed more talent than thibs has had as a head coach. Bottom line I think thibs is arguable the second name of pick to coach my team. He instantly brings credibility to your team. He makes 3 journeymen on your team into 3-year contract caliber players. He instills a defensive philosophy that results in half of his heavy minute players being considered too defenders in the league (out of nowhere) and his offense results in pretty solid guard play. Everybody rebounds better than they had historically. Hahahahahahaha ... if he was the second best coach he wouldn't be unemployed He will be the lakers coach next year. Hell have a young talented core and they will be better then the Bulls for the next decade and he wil get to live in LA instead of Deerfield and he will never need to look at Gars face or Paxsons enormous bald head again.
  13. Last years team was a few plays away from probably getting to the ECF with a shot at a finals appearance. This years team will get its doors blown off in the first playoff series (if they get one). It's a huge regression with a more talented and seasoned group. You can deny it but I'm not sure. Watching these games it's obvious they lack a solid coach. Hoiberg was certainly not deserving of getting a 5 year deal to coach a premier NBA team with a number of talented veteran players. It was a horrible reach of a hire. The front office has gotten very lucky 4 times. 1.7%, Noah creating himself into an all-world energy player, they needed a coach at a time Thibs was the unanimous best available prospect, and then Butler developing into an all star. And remember they had to pressure themselves out of taking Beasley. Basically those 4 things have enabled a terrible front office to have a 15 year run. They had so many opportunities to make this team a championship team and they continuously either were too conservative to make deals (too many to mention), too dumb to do the obvious (afflalo over Doug) or they just whiffed and settled (boozer). They have done so little with so many opportunities for so long. On the coaching side their myopic view of basketball finally has destroyed them. They grab a young ex bull player who they felt would do as instructed and everything would go great. Fire Paxson right now. Fire Gar. Let the new guy come in and fire Hoiberg.
  14. Thibs is a decent coach but top 2-3 in the league he certainly isn't. Pop, Kerr, Rivers, Carlisle ... then a group that Thibs is probably in. Kerr has coached one year with an amazing amount of talent. Luke Walton is going as well or better. Jury out on Kerr vs thibs. Difficult to compare. Rivers has had the most talented team in the NBA about a half dozen times over the last 10 seasons. He also had Thinbs next to him when he was making finals appearances. I consider him way overrated. Carlisle is good I guess. Not sure how to rate him vs thibs because he's basically thibs with 10 more years of chances to win. Also he's enjoyed more talent than thibs has had as a head coach. Bottom line I think thibs is arguable the second name of pick to coach my team. He instantly brings credibility to your team. He makes 3 journeymen on your team into 3-year contract caliber players. He instills a defensive philosophy that results in half of his heavy minute players being considered too defenders in the league (out of nowhere) and his offense results in pretty solid guard play. Everybody rebounds better than they had historically.
  15. I don't believe that narrative. I believe that Gar was undermining him with the players and it may have had some effect of them tuning him out. But they played hard all year, played much better than this year. Butlers comments earlier this year were basically "I want you to be more like thibs" Thibs developed Butler Taj and Noah. I believe those guys would understand how important he was to their development. I don't buy the players turning on Thibs. Plus who gives a horsefeathers. Players always hated Sloan. I'm sure players hate Popavich. Who cares. Thibs is a top 2-3 coach in the NBA and we fired him for no reasons. He will get whatever job he wants next year and he will succeed in it.
  16. I don't know what to say about this team anymore. I recognize they were down a number of key guys, but they built a 20 pt lead in the 3rd quarter. Hoiberg is so bad it's totally unlike anything I've ever seen in my life. He's like Trestman but without the offensive guru narrative. They have a 20pt lead and he literally just stands there as they cough the game up. It makes absolutely no sense how bad he is. I'm at a loss. I didn't know a coach could be this horrible. They did not, and I specifically paid attention to this , run a single offensive play in the last 6 minutes of the game. the team defense is hilariously bad. They don't help and defend. They just foul. They just foul or give up good looks. It's one or the other. The whole lot of this group the whole cabal of them needs to be fired immediately. They took a perennially tough out, top of the conference team team and turned it into a laughingstock joke that can't beat bad teams even when they are having a bad night. They fired Thibs because he didn't respect the front office trying to coach from a skybox. They replaced him with an overmatched incompetent, intimidated child. And the results are predictable. Fire Reinsdorfs kid, fire gar and pax and fire Hoiberg. Hoiberg is and will always be a failure. If you don't see that now then it's just prolonging the pain. He sucks. We had a great coach. We fired him because he was too good for us. We replaced him with a clown. The results are predictable.
  17. Are we gonna keep Pau for a run? I hope so but as an expiring that's still a premier big he could probably get us something decent. Like Payne and a 1st from OKC.
  18. I should have. This isn't even basketball they are playing tonight. This game is like an all star game with all bad players.
  19. We need to give Rose a break. After all the surgeries and then his vision early in the year I'll give him 60 games to get back to being a great player. Finally a good game. More Portis.
  20. I'm never watching this team play again.
  21. OKC cut 10 pts off the lead in 45 seconds because our team is dumb.
  22. Niko is just a stupid basketball player. He has absolutely no idea what's going on. He's got size athleticism and skill and he is still a bad player.
  23. Cousins would have to murder one of George Karl's kids for this to happen.
  24. I really hope they can somehow pull together and make this season interesting. Because after this year it's all going to completely unravel. Is that Jimmy for Cousins and Gay thing possible? Or is it possible to fire a coach 25 games into a 5 year deal? This is sad but who is unrestricted FA in two years? Is that when we can make a play for Jabari Parker?
  25. Yes. I can't stand CP3. He should get fined for that [expletive].
