  1. And it's a good thing, what with him being such a marksman from the line. If the entire NBA wasn't so busy inadvertantly attacking him, maybe he'd be healthy enough to hit his free throws. Rondo takes half as many shots as Rose, and is not even the 3rd scoring option that defenses key in on stopping. Rose is cutting through double teams and driving to the hole constantly. And Rose takes more than twice as many free throws. What do # of shot attempts have to do with anything? Where do you think Rondo's assists are coming from? Just standing at the top of the key handing the ball off to Ray Allen? He creates through dribble penetration and opens up teammates by drawing defenders to him. Despite drawing these secondary defenders, he does not get to the free throw line.
  2. This is the extent of your "argument": 1. The Magic were better in the past. 2. The Magic dominated the Bulls in one game. 3. I refuse to listen to anything that suggests anything other than what I think. All I'm saying is as of right now, in the NBA, there appears to be a clear top two tiers: Tier 1: Boston, Miami, San Antonio Tier 2: Dallas, LA Lakers, Utah, Orlando, Chicago Of those teams, Chicago has played, by far, the toughest schedule in the first 25 games. With the division down this year, their best case scenario is to finish 3rd in the East, ahead of Orlando. This is actually possible. I'm assuming your tiers are based on Sagarin, or something similar? I'd bump LA to tier 1, and put OKC and ATL in tier 2.
  3. Oh damn, I was thinking they beat the Nuggets that game.
  4. These are all best picture award winners. Take it up with the liberal elite in Hollywood
  5. And this year has pretty clearly proven that it runs just as well with CJ Watson starting
  6. As much as it pains me to say, Boozer isn't the Bulls 2nd best player.

  8. Rajon Rondo gets to the free throw line less per shot attempt than Derrick Rose does.
  9. DANTONIO MUST BE STOPPED
  10. 8-10 won't get it done for Northwestern. Assuming they beat up the bottom 4, that gives 0 wins over tourney teams. What does help them, is that none of those bottom 4 look quite as bad as expected when the year started, so a loss to one of them won't be a resume killer.
  11. I don't think he wanted to be "the man" in Texas. I don't think he was ever comfortable with all the hero worship they placed on him. What are you basing this on? Thats been all of the talk here in Dallas this morning, but I think its mostly an excuse. They are also saying now they were not comfortable giving him all of that money too. He seemed to enjoy being the spotlight on the mound during the playoffs. We didn't want him anyway! Besides, he wasn't Texas tough!!
  12. Orlando's only a game back of the Heat, and Boston is likely to take their foot off the gas in the 2nd half. a 1-4 matchup isn't out of the question.
  13. Well yeah. I wouldn't be stunned to see the Bulls finish ahead of the Magic, but they really need to avoid them in the playoffs. They're too big.

  15. How do you inadvertently attack someone?
  16. 107-78. In Chicago. On Boozer's first game back. But yes, I'm sure Orlando is 30 points a game better than Chicago at all times, and there is no chance the Bulls could finish higher in the East. I'm sure a full game of Carlos Boozer makes a 30 point difference.
  17. ITT: People undervalue Ryan Dempster
  18. OMG PAUL PIERCE IS BACK ON THE COURT
  19. They're a fun talented team. so what is your revised prediction for their final record this season? ~50 wins, 4th in East
  20. They're a fun talented team.
  21. http://blog.shamsports.com/2010/04/derrick-rose-isn-very-good-at-drawing.html The conspiracy extends overseas!
  22. Yep, the game was at Iowa. Juice got hurt and McGee played all kinds of awful in relief. This was also when Zook late in the 4th quarter (I think) accepted a holding penalty giving Iowa 3rd and long as opposed to 4th and mid-range. Iowa of course converted.
  23. yeah, he's holding out for a better job. If he doesn't get the head coaching offer he wants this offseason, then Auburn will be willing to give him 1.3-1.5 million/season to remain the offensive coordinator. I'd prefer Malzahn over Chizik as AU's head coach. He's staying at Auburn. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5915527&campaign=rss&source=ESPNUHeadlines yeah, i'm hearing Auburn will pay him 1.3 million a year, and he will sign an extension. If true, this would probably just delay his move to head coaching by one year. However, this doesn't sound like a move an intelligent guy would make if he thought new evidence was going to surface that would lead to Auburn being penalized in some fashion. He's not exactly passing up a plum job here.
  24. When they make a trophy commemorating the most inexplicable loss of the Big Ten season. What did Zook have to do with Iowa losing to Minnesota? Our losing to them gave them the confidence to beat a team full of cokeheads.
