    I'm trying to think of a good comparison to Vancouver in another sport. Just off the top of my head, it would be the Vikings. Always seem to be pretty good, occasionally they have a scary good season and seem to be locks to win it all then falter hilariously in the playoffs. And to top it off they always seem to have a few douchebags in big roles for them. The Braves wouldnt be a good comparison because they've actually won, and they were annually at the top of the standings for over a decade whereas Vancouver was middle of the West good until the last 2 years. The Cubs wouldnt be good because we suck most years. The Mavericks would have been good until last year.

    Cant say I know how you are Derrick, you've missed 40% of the season with injuries. Sorry that was just frustration talking. I know if this was an important game he'd be in there. So glad I bought a 6 game Bulls ticket package this year, and Rose has been injured for 4 of them now, with the Bulls record going into tonight 1-4. Garwilly will back me up that those are the games I got. Win: That ugly game against Atlanta the 1st week of the season when the Bulls scored 28 points in the 1st half, trailed by 20 in the 2nd half and somehow won something like 74-72. Losses: Indiana Portland Houston Denver

    I'd much rather face the Bucks than the Knicks or 76ers. Bucks, Sixers, Knicks, in that order from the team I'd like to face the most to the team I'd like to face the least. At this point, the Sixers might not even make the playoffs. I know the 76ers have fizzled quite a bit of late but I think they're the team I want to face the least in the 1st round. Not sure how I feel about facing Philly. You know Doug Collins will have them revved up again so they would certainly be a tough out for the Bulls. At the same time the Bulls looked pretty good against them the last time without Rose and they have been playing downright awful since a hot start. Id like to play the Bucks but they are probably the hottest team of the 3. The Knicks probably have the most potential of the 3 and have the best player of them. I guess I'm just willing to let the chips fall where they may whether we end up in the 1 seed or 2

    I hope he doesn't get booed. Just because meatballs like Kaplan irrationally hated him because he didn't "hustle" enough doesn't mean everyone hates him. The dude gave me several of my happiest Cub related moments in the last decade, it would be a slap in the face to boo him. Hell Game 4 of the 2003 NLCS should be worth a lifetime of cheers by itself.

    didn't the blackhawks win Shh...he's on a roll. See now he can say: -Cubs win -Blackhawks beat the stupid Wings but don't have to play Nashville -Rose is healthy Great weekend!

    This game is going to end before the Bulls game despite this one starting 80 minutes later and baseball games generally lasting long than basketball games.

    8 minutes into the game Knicks: 71% FG% Bulls: 8% FG%

    Game 1 of the series is Thursday at 9PM CST

    Hah, the Coyotes were one of 4 teams that actually had a worst PP% than the Hawks. That said, the Hawks were 27th in the league in PK%, while Phoenix was 8th
  13. UMFan83
    Not at all. Mike Smith has been pretty much the hottest goaltender in the NHL, and the Hawks historically struggle against Phoenix I believe. My early prediction is Yotes in 7, only because I can't see them closing out the Hawks at the UC. Edit: Last 3 seasons against Phoenix 2012 1-3-0 2011 2-2-0 2010 1-2-1 Total 4-7-1

    Think about how much more fun the last 2 games would have been with Cespedes belting HRs into the wind. We might still be 0-2 but we'd have something exciting to talk about
  15. UMFan83
    And its official. 3 Phoenix Coyotes vs. 6 Chicago Blackhawks 4 Nashville Predators vs. 5 Detroit Red Wings We know those 2 series for sure. The 1,2,7,8 seeds can still change
  16. UMFan83
    4-1 Phoenix 3 minutes into the 3rd....
  17. UMFan83
    The thing that disappoints me about Cespedes is that it wasn't like he just signed with the Marlins because Miami's large Cuban population provided a comfort zone. Supposedly he actually wanted to join the Cubs and gave us every chance to sign him but we couldnt match Oaklands (admittely high) offer. I can understand the reasoning, but we spent so much time scouting the guy and obviously wanted him. If he does turn into a star, its gonna be quite frustrating for Cubs fans.

    Yotes up 2-0 after 1 period. Better start reading up on Phoenix. They are a good team that gives us problems but I think we have a shot at beating them.
  19. UMFan83
    Pacers pretty much owned that game start to finish. :hello: I really like Paul George a lot. Agreed.
  20. UMFan83
    Remember that month that Hee Seop Choi had after we traded him away for Lee? Or that one month where Chris Shelton had that made it so I could easily recall his name 6 years later?
  21. UMFan83
    Remember how unbelievably unhittable Marmol was in 2007 and 2008? His pitches did things that baseballs aren't supposed to do. It was so enjoyable to watch him pitch his inning with complete confidence that not only was he going to get 3 straight outs but he was going to make all 3 batters look silly in the process.
  22. UMFan83
    Probably premature but who would be our next best closing option?
  23. UMFan83
    So our 1st round opponent is still up on the air. Making things confusing, LA and SJ are playing each other tonight. If Phoenix wins in any way, it's simple. Hawks vs. Yotes I. round 1. If the Coyotes lose, it gets confusing. PHX regulation loss: winner of SJ/LA is division winner and plays Hawks. PHX OT/SO loss: If LA beats SJ, LA is the 3 seed. If SJ beats LA, I believe PHX wins division. I'm probably missing something
  24. UMFan83
    Perfect. Hawks get the win but don't have to play Nashville.
  25. UMFan83
    Did the Hawks "concede" that? I started panicking when I saw they were up with 90 secs left.
