  1. Still can't believe they didn't fire Tucker. Still so worried about the defense getting the lowest possible production from potential talent, rather than the opposite. I'm convinced he's a clown and I'm desperate to be proven wrong. Because if not, it's another 8-8 season maybe 9-7. At some point you've got to be able to stop someone in the 4th quarter.
  2. Not getting the negativity over this Bulls offseason. Unless we landed Melo, getting Gasol and (finally) Mirotic coming over was probably the best scenario. None of the other big FA's were going to come here, and given the deal Melo signed, it's probably surprising he was even considering the Bulls. If McDermott can provide an outside shot, I don't understand why this isn't a much better scoring team assuming healthy Rose. But then again, I'm not very knowledgable about basketball and I don't really follow these guys all the time. I have more hope this year than I did last year. Obviously I'll be cringing every time Rose tries to make a cut to get by someone.
  3. Any word on numbers? I'm deathly afraid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not to nit-pick, but I seriously thought he meant that Kirk had retired or something.
  4. Herein lies the problem. By the time Germany finally scored, I was napping on it.
  5. I don't see it either, but it would be in the best interests of Melo to sign in Chicago. Even though the Bulls wouldn't be favorites IMO, there's always injuries that can happen to change the mix a little. It's still a long road ahead, and you would want to be in the best position to capitalize.
  6. Actually I'm not sure who you are responding to here. For myself, I wasn't responding to anyone else's post.
  7. i doubt they would bother with it if they didn't think it would work ultimately, they need to fix his mechanics. he's got that kerry wood elbow thing going in his rotation Hmmm. Does that really happen with a guy who has 7 years of pro baseball under his belt, working on #8? I guess he is only 25.
  8. Why the hate for Riley? You actually typed out these words. Incredible.
  9. He goes from The Decision to firing an essay from Brazil. It's OK LeBron. Everyone makes mistakes. Congrats Cleveland. I really didn't see this day coming back when LeBron left for Miami. Mostly I'm just overjoyed that Miami's terrible fans don't get to see championship basketball that they don't deserve. But I'm also happy for a downtrodden city that could really use some upside right now.
  10. Yes. Seems like usually, once there's a tear, TJS eventually happens. Sooner or later.
  11. "league executives" "many" He probably spoke with one guy.
  12. Interesting WI map. People get progressively more stupid as they get closer to Milwaukee.
  13. Probably Hundley for me, except that he took it so far it started to become funny.
  14. http://pmcmovieline.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/austinpowers300.jpg
  15. Keep him up. Keep him up. Keep him up. Keep him up.
  16. Suck it, Canada.
  17. Agreed. Now not only will the fans be clamoring for Alcantara to stay up, but they will increase their demanding for Bryant and Baez as well. I sure hope so.
  18. To protect an empty house?
  19. Just valued differently. Especially by the fan base of a team like the Cubs (remember, Wood & Prior meltdown happened here). And especially in an era when elite hitting seems to be in short supply, and solid pitching seems to be easier to acquire by comparison.
  20. Like a lightning bolt directly to the heart of Yankeedom if he needs TJS.
  21. Wouldn't Wiggins have to go to get Love? Yeah, rumor is Wiggins + for Love. Also, there are rumors that LeBron has reached out to Ray Allen and Mike Miller to join him wherever he goes if he leaves Miami. Not sure how that works money wise in Cleveland though. GM in Cleveland doesn't even need to make calls anymore. LeBron's got it covered.
  22. Nobody's making any meaningful moves until these guys make their decision. Unless you really wanted Josh McRoberts. But some of this stuff has to be settled soon, with qualifying offers out there, etc. Just need the first domino to fall Wouldn't that mean a guy like Stephenson is limiting his own options by only considering teams who move on it early? My impression was we are talking 2 or 3 days here, until LeBron makes his decision and the dominos start to fall. No need to panic yourself into a mistake that closes the coffin on Melo.
  23. Wait. Wouldn't that kill Melo -> Bulls completely? I thought that was still a possibility (sort of). Got to wait on this until the bigger dogs decide.
