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

THIS COULD BE FAKE SITE but I just pulled this from twitter:

Putting his weight on it doesn't really mean anything, but I figured I'd pass along what KC Johnson is saying.

Yep, I'm going with cramp and/or calf strain Thibs already confirmed in his interview that it was a knee injury

Jason Goff says Rose looks "good to go" after putting weight on his knee but still needs the MRI Of course every other piece of info out there is negative, and all the bulls players and coaches interviewed seem suicidal, and Jason Goff once tweeted that Wade to the Bulls was imminent, but I'll cling to any positivity I can.

This is why the Bears have such great special teams every year. They use 3rd round picks on them.

So since the ump originally called Castro safe, is it a SB?

Really? I liked Mayers. I think there's a spot on the team even with Carcillo back and Shaw part of the mix. Doesn't mean he'll dress every night but I think he could be useful.

I'll go with CHI over PHI in 5 MIA over NYK in 4 IND over ORL in 5 ATL over BOS in 7 SAS over UTA in 6 OKC over DAL in 5 LAL over DEN in 5 MEM over LAC in 6 CHI over ATL in 5 MIA over IND in 6 MEM over SAS in 6 OKC over LAL in 7 MIA over CHI in 6 ( :( ) OKC over MEM in 7 OKC over MIA in 6 Did I just pick OKC to win the title?

Turner backtracked:

Philly it is. I predict 5 games

Makes me feel better that we couldnt have traded down and still got him.

couldnt we have traded down and make this pick? I'm perplexed and slightly disappointed

wtf? Couldnt have traded down for that??

Has anyone else discovered this iPhone app yet? It's pretty cool and free. Here's how they describe it: It's basically a free MLB Network on your iPhone. I've been watching it on and off today and think its awesome for a free app.

Not that this has much to do with his potential in the NFL but everytime I hear an interview with RG3, I am impressed with his charisma. Very confident but not in a stuck-up way. He seems like a geniunely nice guy but assertive at the same time.

Figured it was time to start this up....last couple of posts from the playoff thread to start off with: You are probably right. Goalies are like late relievers, they often go from bad to awesome (Smith) or really good to terrible (Mason). People point out Howard from the Wings who became an all star after having a bad sophmore season. That being said, I doubt they'll have a lot of patience with Crawford once the season starts. I still don't get why they extended Emery though if that (staying with Crawford) is the plan. Did people just ignore the freaking rest of the team? It wasn't the goalie. This team suffered from a severe downgrade of productivity and effectiveness at every single position, with the exception of Hossa, and he missed the playoffs. The obsession with goalie is not addressing the real issues. Is Crawford a stanley cup goalie? If Niemi can be, so can he. Is Marc Andre Fleury a stanley cup goalie? He just got his ass handed to him. And that's happened a lot. The Blackhawks didn't lose to Phoenix because of their goalie, they lost because they couldn't score goals. They lost because their best offensive player ended the playoffs with 4 GD points. They lost because they are completely incompetent on the PP. Goalies come and go. As soon as one plays well enough to get recognition and a contract he's no longer a standout. The Blackhawks need to shake up their core, which is either incredibly overrated or is still living off the accolades of 2 years ago. If they can get somebody to trade for Sharp, I'd like that. If they can get Buffalo to overpay for their hometown boy Kane, fine by me. If they can upgrade over Crawford, but don't do something stupid and acquire Luongo or some other reputation goalie with a big price tag. I'd rather go the gambling route on that position and go with cheap retreads or a kid out there. I'd be fine if they opened the season with Crawford, assuming they spend the offseason addressing the real needs. The rest of the entire team. The 'Hawks have the personnel to run a PP. Just last season their PP was top 10 if not higher (iirc they were 4th but not sure) That's a coaching issue and should be easy to fix. I'm ok with trading Sharp though I'm not sure how that helps now. The "Hawks have good players in the pipeline (Saad, McNeil, Denault, Morin, Pirri) so if they could get a good defenseman or if they use Sharp's salary toward Suter then maybe. Buffalo doesn't have anybody that's worth Kane.

They asked Tim Legler and some other NBA dude I've never seen before who the Knicks should prefer to play in the 1st round, and both of them said the Heat.

lol...

Why did they have to win so badly? I get avoiding the Heat but how much do their odds really increase by playing Indiana? Does anyone really expect them to compete in their series? I guess they have some decent role players so this isn't like that season where Washington went from best record in the East at the ASB to a .500 team in the 7th seed after losing arenas (when that meant something) and butler (all star year). But it's not that much better either. Indiana couldn't be more thrilled with the draw they are getting, except maybe having to face Miami instead of Chicago in the 2nd round.

Maybe he didn't want to sign a 1 year deal with a team that probably wasn't going to the playoffs? Yeah and I think people might sometimes forget that its possible some of these FAs didnt want to waste 1-3 years playing for a rebuilding team. If the money was right most would, but I dont see the Cubs overpaying to make a 60 win team a 65 win team.

Or is it like that one week where Theriot hit like 5 HRs and then hit 1-2 the rest of the year?

lol the 76ers are 14-21 in their last 35 games, over half the season, and they feel the need to be talking trash? Whatever, I don't mind the slighting of the Bulls when compared to the Heat. If I was a playoff team I'd probably prefer to play the Bulls too just because the Heat's star power is daunting, and the Bulls have been banged up all season, especially Rose. Plus from Philly's perspective, they got mostly blown away by Miami in last year's first round and have had success against the Bulls the last 2 seasons. So yeah despite understanding their preference, I guess I don't get why Turner felt the need to publically diss the Bulls.
