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.

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.

Hughes is having a very good game. I actually don't mind him when he doesn't waste possessions and shoot dumb shots... and I'm not just saying that because he's been hot tonight.

Rose!!!!

Yea. Hunter is the first of these "veteran guy" pickups that hasn't annoyed me incredibly.

Rose's jumper is on fire right now

nah.. it was cubette or something

As much as I would love to add Peavy, we now have posters suggesting we trade Lee, DeRosa, Wuertz, and Cotts which would open at least 3 new holes on the team. Assuming Marshall is part of a deal, the Cubs would have no lefties in the bullpen with the trade of Cotts. Hoffpauir has a possible future as a pinch hitter/DH, but not as a starter. As for DeRosa, he quite possibly was our 3rd MVP on the team. Let's not forget that the rotation goes into 2009 better than the 2008 rotation which lead the Cubs to over 90 wins. If we can acquire Peavy using spare parts and prospects, fine. If not, move on and fill the other holes on the team. uh oh...you just did it i say we trade Z to the yanks and get back hughes then get peavy i love the Z, but he is frustrating... naw...i really don't know about that...he has actually been our only good pitcher in the playoffs two years running now I guess I didn't realize just how good Peavy is since now we're up to trading Zambrano, Lee, DeRosa, Wuertz, and Cotts to acquire him. Peavy-Mania is unbelievable. Obviously that is just some fantasyland deal, but Peavy > Z, Lee would be addition by subtraction because of the contract. The only loss that sort of hurts there is DeRosa. I'm pretty sure Z makes more than Peavy, so you could even say the Lee and Z money saved would go a long way toward paying Tex.

I'd prefer Amare but would be ecstatic with Bosh, too.
