You seem like you would have commanded a lot of respect from the players. I don't think respect won them any games either. Plus all managers should have respect from the players. It shouldn't be that hard. Now you're getting a bit absurd. If you honestly think players would respect some fan off the streets as their manager, you're delusional. -
Assuming we don't make a deal involving the rotation, how is the 2009 rotation worse than the 2008 rotation that won the NL Central? Zambrano, Harden (part time), Dempster, Lilly, Marquis, + Marshall >>>>>>> Zambrano, Dempster, Lilly, Marquis, Gallagher/Marshall Why is Harden not a part of the 2008 rotation that won the NL Central?

Wrong. Absolutely wrong. You think we won all those games cuz of Lou being a great manager? The only thing he had to do was that whenever we had a lead, just put Marmol in to hold them. We won because we had great players. Lou didn't have much to do with it. I could have managed that team and gotten the same amount of victories. All managers make dumb moves. Lou has his quirks (the all righty lineups vs lefties, the overuse of certain pitchers and just overall odd usage of the bullpen, etc.), but be happy we don't have one of the really bad ones and leave it at that. Having Dusty Baker fresh on the mind, this shouldn't be so hard.

His overall point is kinda right, though. Lou's fixation with matchups gets a bit absurd at times. In general, I like what Lou does, but, for instance, I'm not at all a fan of the all righty lineups vs lefty starters.

Thing is, some people thought Beasley was the best player, regardless of position. Anyway, I, like most, was on the Rose bandwagon all the way. Thank jeebus for that 1.7% shot.
-
Amare, Bosh, or Boozer for me... ...btw Ginobili returned for San Antonio tonight, but Parker is likely out a while longer. It'll be a tough game but might be winnable.
-
that's what i was thinking. i was all hyped up for rose banging down the winner at the buzzer and then when he missed and hughes drained it i was like "umm... oh yeah... we won. sweet" was still a pretty epic last few minutes by Rose... just would've been so cool storybook-wise if he had drained the last shot.. of course, if he hits that, jazz probably go down the court for an uncontested dunk in 3 seconds for the win.
-
I wish Rose would've made it instead, but whatever... and allowing that offensive board with 15 seconds left... ugh
-
looooooooooooooooooooooool
-
And he continues to shoot the hell out of the ball. That jumpshot feels like a strength at this point.
-
Rose is absolutely incredible.
-
Nice start vs. the Deron and Boozer (and Korver)-less Jazz...
-
Not really worth it with this team =\ If you say so.
-
Is nobody watching this game? wtf?
-
I used to love that board, but there are just so many intolerable posters on there now. And I absolutely agree with you. I'm very pleased with the start of the season. If we can find a way to win a couple more games on the circus trip, I'll be feeling pretty confident about the direction this team is in. I'm not at all a believer in using ignore on forums. I have nobody on NSBB on ignore. If that forum had it, though, I'd use it. If I could just weed out all the morons, there would only be great stuff from about 5-10 posters.
-
I agree... except the difference between the last two years and the 06-07 team is that in 06-07 Wallace was somewhat productive... we did have somewhat of a defensive presence inside, at least. But I agree.
-
Anyway, I know that's not gonna quiet the "omg we just shoot jumpshots (which isn't so much the case anymore, although it's still true to an extent) and have no interior presence (we don't)" people... this team has overall performed very well for what it is. A good part of that is the sensational rookie, obviously.

http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=851715&st=0&sk=t&sd=a If you like to complain and bitch about this team so far this year (which amazes me, because their start has been a very pleasant surprise, the schedule has been BRUTAL), take a look at that thread. Mostly look at what coldfish and doug are saying, though. They're a couple of the best posters there. Duck is a great poster too.

Now that I think about it... that reminded me a lot of ARam in Atlanta.
-
it didnt look like a joint or anything like that... so that's good... hopefully he just got kicked in the nuts
-
:cry: :cry: :cry: guys, im scared
-
Rose is legitimately unguardable if he is going to hit that midrange jumper with any kind of consistency. It sure looks good right now.
-
I love that Stacey King says exactly what I'm saying... Get the ball to Derrick Rose now... Thank you...
-
I spoke too soon.
