  1. The SoSH site is getting absolutely hilarious again. They are so dilusional over there its actually a bit sad. One even said that the Cubs announced an agreement with Theo while he was still under contract from the Red Sox without the Red Sox even having a chance to retain him. How the hell can you possibly believe that? Another guy says that the Red Sox as a measure of trust and integrity, allowed Theo to go to the Cubs without agreeing on compensation and Theo along with the Cubs proved to be dishonest and lacking integrity. Basically in their eyes, Lucchino said "sure buddy you can go to the Cubs, I'm sure the cubs will bend over backwards to compensate us as we see fit" as if there weren't already weeks of disagreements over the value of compensation. Haha I love this forum. Probably the dumbest and most irrationally biased forum I've ever seen.
  2. Bulls went down 19-3 in the first 5 minutes. That's pretty much it. Nah. The Bulls at 2 separate points in the first half cut the lead to 7 and seemed to have all the momentum only to have the Nets hit some garbage 3 or for Lucas to make a dumb turnover leading to a fast break and before you know it the lead is 14 again. While I won't argue the 19-3 (I think the worst was 22-4) was a major backbreaker, the Bulls got themselves back in the game only to again be outplayed. The biggest thing, and Thibs had quite a tantrum in his postgame conference because of this, was that the Bulls did not come to play yesterday. I know that's a big cliche (like a losing team having no heart and a winning team having tons), but the Nets were constantly getting loose balls and had a ton of offensive rebounds, especially in the 2nd half. I'm aware the Bulls too had a good number of ORebs but when you shoot something like 35% you will have a lot of opportunities. Face it, the Bulls thought this was a gimme, even Thibs did by not playing Rose despite him saying 2 days in a row that he's not in pain anymore. It just bit him in the ass this time. I expect a fired up Bulls team tomorrow afternoon and its looking optimistic that Rose will be back.
  3. He threw a fit on Twitter because he wasn't called up in September with the other call ups. Edit: This was his tantrum
  4. We win. Hope the Hawks enjoyed their 2 week winter break. They have a lot of work to do to make up for that BS road trip. If the last 96 hours, the Hawks have won 3 games in regulation, including 2 of them being against top 4 NHL teams (in terms of points).
  5. Northwestern is the last team in on Lunardi's latest bracket tomorrow. Illinois is the 8th team out
  6. 0 for their last 27 power plays. Whats the record for most failed PP's in a row?
  7. Hawks got dominated pretty badly in the 1st. 15 SOG to 4, 7 chances to 1. Welcome home guys!
  8. You wanna talk symmetrical? Look at where the scoreboard is relative to center field. Most people think its supposed to align with dead Center but that's not the case.
  9. Can't believe the kid is a freshman. You can have your pasty white Cody Zeller for FOTY, but I'll take Burke thank you very much.
  10. I'd say Burke made up for missing the front end of a 1 and 1 with 90 seconds left. 15-0 at home. Damn. Too bad 3 of the last 4 are on the road, but whatever, its against NW, Illinois and Penn State.
  11. Thank God Ohio State randomly forgot they had Sullinger for the first 30 minutes of the game. He's killing us right now though.
  12. Michigan twice gets fouled shooting a 3, and only hit 3 of the 6 FTs dammit
  13. Why do people feel bad for Leonard and openly mock Adam Morrison? I'm guessing it has to do with Weber being Leonard's coach.
  14. Does Novak ever attempt a 3 closer than 2 feet behind the line?
  15. Michigan is ice cold (shooting 35% and 20% from 3)...I'm shocked.
  16. Rush back? He could have played today based on his quotes before the game. Thibs went from being the most aggressive coach in terms of players playing through injuries to one of the most conservative in the blink of an eye. What happened? Does anyone remember why Paxson and Del Negro had a physical confrontation? Because VDN played Noah more minutes than the limit that Pax had set for him coming back from an injury. He obviously takes the extremely cautious route when it comes to injuries. I really believe that GarPax had a chat with him and told him that to treat the franchise carefully. So now Thibs is being overcautious with Rose. Maybe they even had a fist fight.
  17. Chris Boshin on the sideline....at least 1 player hasn't quit.
  18. this is exactly what people talk about when they say that the players have given up. There's no arguing that at this point. At this point I just hope they let him coach the next 2 games. They're at OSU then Iowa at home. At this point you would expect them to get destroyed at OSU. Iowa might have a shot at their first win in Champaign in like 30 years. Nah, keep him on board until after the Michigan game please.
  19. 1, but he also wasn't usually the smallest guy on the court and able to be neutralized by a bigger, better athlete during crunch time. Right. You can't win a championship with a stud point guard and a bunch of role players. The only way we get pass the Heat is Lebron doesn't play and Wade plays like crap. Or our role players play out of their minds. C'mon guys you all know this. Rose doesn't even come close to match up with Lebron or Wade. All we need is health and a little bit of luck. No one even really knows how good the Bulls will be with a healthy roster because they've only played 5 games with it. I say a little bit of luck because the Heat would be favored in the series, maybe 55-45%, so if we get a little luck we turn the tables in our favor. But by no means is it impossible.
  20. I mean the Bulls played bad but the Nets, who are 28th in the NBA in FG% were unrealistically hot, especially from 3. I think they were like 9-16 from 3. Also Deron Williams is raping the Bulls with 21 points and 7 assists with 5 three pointers. Normally we'd have Derrick out there motivated to embarrass another rival PG but he's stuck with the longest case of back spasms in NBA history.
  21. Can we please stop with this. you have the power to make it stop permanently. (and to fdb)
  22. So this would make the road trip 2-6-1. Fairly disastrous but obviously a good end. Still not sure what to think overall.
  23. hey depaul loses whaddya know?
  24. Thank God, I don't have to bother watching the rest of the season. Thanks CC.
