    Nice highlight video. Just wondering why he only averaged 5 PPG last year. Also he tore a knee ligament in 2014. Denzel Valentine has knee issues. You'd think we've been burned by bum knees enough in our recent history.

    I had a lot of fun too, but it was always with the hope that they were going to take the next step, and it was always based on the hope that next year Derrick was going to turn into some semblance of his former self again and we could be a legitimate contender in the East.

    Trust me, I've thought about why I'm a fan of a specific NBA team for awhile. 90% of the time the teams competing for the title have top 3 players on them. How do you get a top 3 player? You either draft one, or you are a desirable FA destination with some semblence of a contender that the superstar can step into. So your options are: 1) Quit following the NBA or follow the NBA but not a specific team and enjoy it from a macro level 2) Root for your team to do everything they can to acquire a top 3 player, even if it includes tanking and drafting lottery tickets. You can also build a solid team like the 2010 Bulls that is ready made for a star to step in and start winning titles, but even in that scenario you can have the most desirable option and not get your guy 3) Do what David wants and be happy with NBA hell, hope you luck into a superstar down in the draft, or build one of those teams with several smaller stars and hope they all gel into a gritty team that wins 55 games and gets a surprise finals appearance (2003-2004 Pistons style)

    David I guess I'm not sure how to change your mind from your opinion, I just can't imagine wanting to root for a team that is not trying to win a title. That's the whole point but to each their own.

    Yeah you have to go all the way back to an entire day before the Washington game you referenced to find a big hit late (Almora RBI double)

    I don't understand the thought process of "winning an NBA title is too hard lets just be satisfied with winning 50 games and going to the second round"

    Record in June: Cubs 12-9 Reds 11-9 Omg were almost as bad as the Reds

    We are a super team. Just one that is completely banged up. This will keep us from true greatness in the regular season but assuming we get healthy will keep us well positioned to win in October
  9. UMFan83
    We sucks
  10. UMFan83
    Is Rizzo not available at all tonight? Ross against a righty is not the ideal matchup..guess Miggy not available either
  11. UMFan83
    23-18 after the loss tonight. Most teams have a stretch like this for 25% of the season. With all the injuries were not a super team right now so you would expect to have some mediocre runs. We all know the Cubs at full strength are a 100+ win team. You don't get the RD the Cubs had in April and May by accident
  12. UMFan83
    Crap Sunday's matchup is Hammel vs Jose Fernandez. Gulp
  13. UMFan83
    Feels like nothing is working for the Cubs during this slump. Starting pitching has gone from untouchable to very good, offense has stopped walking and scoring, middle relief has been a dumpster fire and now 8th inning guy getting scored on twice in a tie game. Get out of this soon please
  14. UMFan83
    Welp 3 outs from a loss. Welcome back from the dead Stanton

    Smells like a Pax pick not a Gar pick. Pax loves those guys who played for big programs whose team had a lot of success.

    Rosssy
  19. UMFan83
    I mostly do too but the first thing you need to win a title is a super duper star. The Bulls don't have one. If they believe Dunn has a chance to be one you have a lottery ticket and with the trade you probably suck enough to have a second one. That said you can get more value than this, likely at the deadline. But you have to get a superstar. Until then the Bulls are just treading water. None of them are going to sign here and you don't have the assets to trade for one so its gotta be in the draft.
  20. UMFan83
    Good if so it might actually get GarPax fired
  21. UMFan83
    terrible opinion that you should feel terrible for having lol
  22. UMFan83
    Whatever just do it and start over.
  23. UMFan83
    Come back offense
  24. UMFan83
    Can't believe Zobrist is almost hitting under .300. Wasn't he hitting .360 coming into june
  25. UMFan83
    Remember when we like walked and stuff and racked up opposing pitch counts?
