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.

I don't really think it is when it's a trip that is likely to make most teams look worse than they really are. How is that a good indicator of anything at any time?
-
Actually, it is at Allstate for 2 weeks prior to moving to the UC for 2 weeks. I understand why it is done. I just think it's a pretty good initial indicator of where we're at. Right now, we're being exposed. I'm not saying improvements won't be made -- although it doesn't look like a solid big man will materialize any time soon. Is it really when, as UM noted, even the good Bulls teams struggled through it? Don't forget the 0-9 team of 04-05 which, IMO, was the best of that whole bunch until Curry's heart thing. After that start they played great basketball for a long time.
-
Yea, no way I change what happened now in hindsight. Rose over any of them.
-
Wasn't RedIvy insistent that Canning would get the team? I could be mistaken.
-
Nope not at all, but you'd expect a little better effort than this. The Blazers are good but we should be able to stay on the floor with them. Portland was one of two teams the Bulls could have beaten on this roadtrip. Now all that's left is Golden State. Portland scared me a lot more than the current incarnation of the Spurs.

Be happy with a possible 8th seed and first round knockout this year and a great rookie season from Rose, a little more development next year and then hope for Amare or Bosh. How poorly Drew Gooden plays interior defense at C for us this year has little to do with our longterm prospects. Tyrus needs to figure something out this year, though.
-
Yes, they're on their way to a 5-7 record with a rookie coach and rookie point guard vs the 3rd hardest schedule in the NBA. Fold them! this team has NO offensive game plan at all. NONE. when they win, it's because their crappy mid-range jump shots happen to fall. it's embarrassing. i'm tired of this team being "young" and "inexperienced". every time it seems the team is going somewhere, it takes 2 steps back. The game plan is have Rose dribble penetrate and dish to the open man or attack the basket. This is the best spacing the Bulls have had on offense in years and they are attempting more free throws and attacking the basket more than they have (yes, a lot of that is due to Rose) in a long time. Of course, Larry and Ben doing whatever they want at times doesn't help things. The real problem with this team is its front court on offense and defense. No amount of effort is going to turn Drew Gooden into a good defender. Noah is clueless. Tyrus gives the effort but plays totally out of control.
-

-
These threads are almost as bad as the Cubs game threads. You would think this team was expected to win 50 games.
-
Did Jalen Rose just say Oden is "a guy who can score off intangibles?" Wat?
-
You obviously weren't around for the Corey Benjamin, Calvin Booth, and Rusty LaRue years. Yeah, perhaps you forgot the game where WE SET THE RECORD FOR LEAST POINTS EVER IN AN NBA GAME (49). That wasn't even the worst game. The worst game was MJ's first game back in Chicago for the Wizards. The score ended up being like 75-61 or something like that. I was just an embarassing atrocious game. I remember both of those.

Seriously? Jason Caffey? Dickey Simpkins? Corey Benjamin? Dalibor Bagaric? Considering who were still on the board during each yr those players were drafted, I wouldn't lose sleep over those crappy players. The only one that hurt was Jason Caffey, and that is only because of who was drafted right behind him, Michael Finley. But considering where those guys who were pick it's no surprise that they stunk. Right now Noah could be worse then those guys (how was this guy ever considered a #1 pick overal, I'll never understand) simply based on where he was drafted; lottery .v. early to late 20's pick. by who?

Pretty decent first half overall. We need to get them in transition more and Rose needs to continue the aggressiveness he showed late in the 2nd quarter.
-
he's a sensationalist hack too late
-
What it means is unless something unexpected happens, the Cubs won't be pursuing Peavy any longer. Completely different meaning than "due to." Now it's just a matter of how much you think Dave Kaplan knows.
-
Seriously, though, how much would it suck if Cuban was all set as owner and this SEC bs cost us. It would be like 5 outs to go....
