You know $12 million is a lot of money but at the same time its not that much. You spread that out over 60 years, thats 200k a year. Now that's still a lot but if most people made 200k a year, they'd think about how they can make 300K, etc. So its not like Prior is so damn rich that the money he can make even as a major league reliever isn't appealing to him -
Yeah that's pretty silly. You have to bite the bullet and get him healthy so he's not shooting 40% next year and is able to actually drive to the basket.

They played pretty good without Amare and Lin too
-
what the hell? When he played, Chris Williams was the only O-lineman that was better that league average on the Bears. I wish I could go back to individual weeks on Football Outsiders to show the numbers up to the week he got hurt. He was actually one of the better players at his position last year. Simply put, he was having a breakout season before he got hurt.
-
Why wouldnt you have felt confident? The dude was getting his timing and rhythm back. Every game he played since coming back from that ankle injury he looked better and better. He showed flashes of explosiveness on Saturday that I didnt see in the prior two games. There is no doubt in my mind, barring injury (which obviously occured), he would be been at least 90-95% of last years Rose by the time we played Miami. Also, Rose makes a huge difference when he's on the court even if he's not doing much. It all comes down to how the opponents defend the Bulls. Rose is the only player on the Bulls that can create his own shot and is the only elite scorer on the team. Because of this, even if Rose is struggling, teams focus a lot of their defensive game plan on Rose and have to gamble a bit on other players like Korver, Rip, Deng etc. It opens up the whole offense to have him on the court.
-
Well it certainly helps that the 94 Bulls still had a superstar on their team. There's no one that comes close to peak Scottie Pippen on this Bulls team. Comparing the teams just for fun (w/o Rose and MJ) Armstrong > Watson Meyers < Hamilton Pippen > Deng Grant > Boozer Cartwright < Noah Bench: Kukoc = Gibson (debatable of course, Kukoc was a scorer but mediocre to poor defender at this point and Gibson is the opposite) Longley > Asik Kerr = Korver (at least that season) Blount = Butler (not enough PT to say Butler is better) Scott Williams > Scalabrine Paxson > Lucas Hard to compare Brewer and James with Wennington and Perdue since they obviously play much different positions.

LOL Amare.....

Is anyone else slightly disappointed that Starlin has gone homerless in April after all the talk about him hitting for more power this year? His SLG is the exact same as last year (.433), he is on pace for the same number of doubles as last year (36), slightly more triples (14 instead of 9) and of course 10 less homers. It's only a month, and of course he's been our 2nd best hitter this year so far, but I was hoping for a little more to start the year. -
Awesome! I've long hated this. The excitement for the series is ruined by playing 2 seperate series each year when you play the White Sox as many times as most NL teams not in the Central. Also part of the fun of these series are bragging rights, and its kind of hard to do that when the teams finish 3-3, which is likely in a H/H series (2-1 at home, 1-2 on road). The BP Cup is pretty stupid, but awarding the trophy to a team that goes 3-3 is even more stupid. I love this!

Haha what? Almost everything I've read/heard/seen in the media has been about how the Bulls are probably still going to beat Philly. Not sure what a blowout will do to change their opinions about the Bulls long term (aka rest of playoffs). Btw the Bulls were 5-2 against the Sixers, Celtics and Heat without Rose (ok really 4-2 I'm counting the 1-13 game from Rose) and 4-1 against Sixers, Hawks and Heat wo Rose. I know regular season and playoffs are different but it's nice to know that we've beaten each team before without rose. They will get killed without Rose vs the heat. Thank you captain obvious

Rondo lost his balance just like Suh.
-
And don't forget Chris Paul who came back to dominate at the same position Yes but Chris Paul isnt as explosive as he was before the surgery. He is still a great player but he needed to adjust his game a little when he came back. It's more than likely Rose will have to do the same. He can still be a superstar by its gonna take work to his game if previous results are any indication.
-
I feel like [expletive] but I cant even imagine how Rose feels. His whole life is basketball. When he lost to Miami last year he pretty much locked himself in his house for 2 weeks and wouldnt see anyone. I remember reading something about how Rose was really depressed about all the injuries this year and how friends say he hasnt been himself for awhile now because he cant handle sitting these games out. So what happens now? Basketball is taken away from Rose for the next year. I really really feel bad for him right now.

When the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup

I can't believe this news plus the Knicks getting destroyed had basically destroyed RealGM for the last 2 hours.

Matt Spiegel (from the score) is saying no one else is confirming that report at the moment, so either this Miami dude has sources that no one else in the world has, or it might not be true
-
I'd be rather surprised that NBC 4 Miami has better inside sources at a Chicago hospital or the Bulls themselves... Maybe, but not impossible. If it was some podunk news station maybe. But the fact that it's NBC in a major city with interest in the status of Rose, it makes me feel like it probably is legit, but im still skeptical until i see it from more
-
Twitter is acting like its fact now, but I still think its all coming from that NBC Miami tweet and I'm still a bit skeptical about it
-
Yeah because I misunderstood how twitter works, I thought I saw a similar post from ESPNchicago's twitter but it was just someone tweeting that TO EspnChicago
-
Not the only Twitter account that is posting that. I don't think anything will be known for sure until the MRI is done, though. I'm 90% sure its all based on the original tweet i just posted. The other ones are the same post just reposted
