    I think off the court Rose is a wuss, but he's been a beast on the court. Showing a lot more emotion and leadership on the court than last year. No he's not a cocky jackass or anything, or a player who thinks every foul against him is a crime against humanity, but he's got court swagger. Not enough. He's got as much as LeBron did after his second year

    BTW, anyone notice how far Rose fell off shooting wise in the 2nd half last night? He started out the game 10-15 shooting for 20 points, and from that point on shot 2-12. Overall in the 2nd half he was productive (4-14 shooting, 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 TO, 6-6 FT), but you gotta wonder if the Bulls would still be alive if Rose shot as well to end the game as he did to start it. They were mostly the same shots he was taking earlier in the game too, just misses.

    So much for that....they were sold out for all 8 games (4 games each series) by 10:05. Except for Game D of Round 3, which I was able to pull up 2 $105 seats for. But it wasn't worth to me to buy tickets to a game that would only occur if the Red Wings beat the Sharks, Blackhawks beat the Canucks, and the Wings and Hawks went to 7 games. If that did happen I'll cry that I didnt buy tickets but the chances of it happening aren't huge.

    kg is such a douchebag. And not because of that at all. Just felt like it needed to be said.

    In case you didn't hear, tickets for the WCF and Stanley Cup Finals are going on sale today at 10AM.

    should be an insane atmosphere. the phoenix crowds have been pretty good Blah, the Bulls game was the only competitive game between the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight. I don't think the Sharks will be able to beat the Wings. I think this series goes 6 at most.

    I love how everyone thinks the officials suck, but fans of every team only see it as sucking against them. On RealGM, the Bulls posters were comparing the officiating to Kings-Lakers. So I go over to realcavsfans to see if they see the same stuff I am seeing, and they are talking about how horrible the officials were for them. Something has to be done about the officiating, or at least the perception about the officiating. Discussions about the refs seemingly dominate the discussion of games. Everyone thinks refs are biased against certain teams/players, or just the home team in general. And way too many people really believe that games are fixed on a regular basis. I realize that officiating basketball is tough, and no matter how good they are, they are going to miss calls. But I really wish the NBA would work to change that perception so everyone would shut up about the refs.* *said by a poster who was constantly bitching about the officiating on RealGM tonight (although not nearly as bad as the majority of posters)

    I think the Bears passed on Faneca, because of what happen with Orlando Pace. I know it's apples to oranges, but I read it somewhere as that is the reason. Maybe, but it hasn't been that long since Rueben Brown was around. He worked out. So they are 1 for 2.
  10. UMFan83
    Fair enough. Maybe I should know what I'm talking about before I get on my soapbox. I just saw a former Pro Bowl OLineman who is old but not finished (so I thought) signing for just 2.5 million and knowing how desperately the Bears need O-line help, whether they admit it or not.
  11. UMFan83
    We couldn't have given him 5 million for a year to pry him away from Arizona? I would have felt a lot better about the upcoming season had we signed him. Have we any reason to believe the O-line will be any better than last year? I hate when we have glaring holes and just completely ignore them in the offseason. I realize the Bears had many glaring holes last year, but O-line was one of the biggest if not the biggest.
  12. UMFan83
    I cannot wait for this game tonight.
  13. UMFan83
    Does it feel like mid September in a lost season or what?
  14. UMFan83
    And that call was rather dubious. It's almost like they felt like they had to call at least 1 foul in the quarter.
  15. UMFan83
    Remember, Z could have been starting tonight. great play generic Nats third baseman that's not Zimmerman.
  16. UMFan83
    I'm trying to recall correctly. I know Chris Harris caught an interception on the Colts first possession of the SB, but was he also the guy who everyone at first blamed for the missed coverage that led to Wayne's wide open TD? Or was that Daniel Manning? As I type this out I'm thinking more and more it was Manning.
  17. UMFan83
    I tried to drop Pujols on my fantasy team today, and it wouldn't let me. Apparently he's a can't cut player. SOB! I threw his name out there in trade offers before his value completely plummets, and the only offer I'm getting back is Greg Zaun and a pick of Orioles starting pitchers. Son of a bitch.
  18. UMFan83
    Really? Harris was a quality (though not great by any means) safety for the Bears during the Super Bowl season. When he was traded, people didn't hate it because we still trusted Lovie at that point, and were kind of rolling with the Adam Archuleta idea. It was pretty clearly a mistake in hindsight. Pretty much. It's really selling him short to say that he showed nothing. Yeah seriously, that was a weird comment. I was a bit disapointed that they chose Harris as the odd man out, and thought he was fairly productive for us. And then he went to Carolina and got the reputation as a ball hawk. He wasn't a star, but he would have helped the last 3 editions of the Chicago Bears, that's for sure.
  19. UMFan83
    Wha?? The Hawks finished with 112 points and the Canucks finished with 103 points...or do you mean that they had the same number of points when you take out shootout wins? Which is a really weird stat.

  21. UMFan83
    That's odd. He had a surprisingly good rookie year with the Bears, then they trade him for what a 5th rounder, and the Bears preceed to have 3 years of glaring weakness at safety, then we trade back for him after he starts the later half of his most productive years. I thought the trade was odd to begin with.
  22. UMFan83
    I'm definitely concerned, but I think we have to remember that the Hawks team we just saw for the last six games is not the team we are going to see on Friday night. Completely different styles, and they will (hopefully) be flying high. The only thing is everything needs to make sure they get back on defense because the Sedins will eat Niemi alive if given the chance. Same here. For the most part Nashville had to play over their heads to keep up with the Hawks, and to give them credit they did, but the Hawks did underachieved abit in the first rd series. Now that they get to face a real solid team, I think we will see the REAL Hawks team and IMO they will performed to their abilities. If they do, Vancouver has no shot. Yeah I agree about being concerned, but I'm also thinking that the Hawks will be a different team because they will be able to likely play a style that is more suited to benefit their abilities. This will be an extremely tough series though. Right now I'm thinking it's going to go 7 games, and I don't know who I am predicting to win yet. My head seems to lean towards Vancouver, but my heart obviously leans towards the Hawks. The Hawks are certainly good enough to win this series, but Vancouver is a better team than last year, and even last year we were fortunate to escape with a series win (although again last year we were good enough to win the series as well).
  23. UMFan83
    The Nashville fan was being really annoying and stupid, but that's kind of a dick move ha.
  24. UMFan83
    I still can't believe that Livan Hernandez beat us in a playoff game 3 years ago. Unbelievable.
  25. UMFan83
    I joke about Luongo because we seem to own him (or did in the playoffs last year at least), but he's coming into this upcoming series red hot. It will be interesting to see how game 1 unfolds.
