  1. brett jackson would probably strike out like 180 times if he started with the major league team this season
  2. i'm not necessarily saying that made the wrong decision, but i just watched that press conference and that's a cold-blooded move by the colts
  3. i don't believe this team has the personnel to turn any kind of corner. for this season,i think they are what they are: a low seed team that doesn't have the defense or goaltending to go deep in the playoffs.
  4. what exactly is the situation with mirotic? when can/will he come here? does he have to stay there through the full contract extension he signed?
  5. did you guys hear noah screaming at hibbert for like 10 straight seconds near the ft line? then you could hear a section of fans laughing and cheering
  6. not a great time for a rose catch phrase, stacey
  7. yea a move at sg is a must now
  8. man i'm more concerned with his career than this season. the crosby thing scared the hell out of me.
  9. i do not understand lebron james. he has one of the most absurd halves of basketball i've ever seen, he just made one of the most ridiulous three pointers ive ever seen, and then for the last shot at the buzzer he passes it to udonis haslem. wtf, lebron?
  10. This. Plus looking at how many games Rip has missed over the last 3 seasons (36, 27 and 23 this year), how can you ever expect to count on Rip to be healthy when you need him most? If I were the Bulls id at least consider any potential SG acquisitions that would be an upgrade over Rip even if he was healthy. also sg is really the only position we can upgrade at. we know deng is going to be playing like 42 minutes a game at sf, and even though boozer sucks we have no choice but to ride it out and play him. the only real thing the bulls can do to get better is add another offensive guard and figure out who plays later. i'd do the bobcats pick + brewer for ray allen. i don't value the charlotte pick as much as others might, though.
  11. well keith bogans is horrible so i hope so. i'm not hating on rip or anything, if he can be decent and knock down the good looks that he's bound to get, he represents a massive upgrade. i just think he's way too much of a question mark to turn down a possible upgrade at sg. brewer kind of sucks these days too, so i wouldn't mind too much if he didn't see much time in the postseason. his defense doesn't make up for his complete lack of any offensive game whatsoever, and i think we need offense at the 2 more than we need another d-guy. we're going to play awesome defense regardless. it would be nice to always have a guy in the game at the 2 who can shoot. we'll need it if we want a chance at beating miami.
  12. Because he was doing well before he got hurt? He's tough to guard, since his defender has to chase him all over the court. The last couple of games his shot has been pretty rusty though. Hard to get on him too much about it since nobody else has had their jumpshot working either (4th quarter vs Spurs notwithstanding). he shot .429 from the field last season and .409 the year before. the 11 game sample size before he got hurt doesn't mean much to me. i'm not saying i expect him to suck, but if there's an upgrade available, then "but we have rip" shouldn't be a factor whatsoever.
  13. why are we assuming hamilton will even be good if he's healthy? anyways, by the time we get that pick, lebron may not even be on the heat anymore, and dwyane wade will probably be in a wheelchair
  14. too high pitched
  15. i don't get it. isn't that literally the only guy you'd want to keep around for the future? they should punt this season and trade all of allen/pierce/kg at the deadline. they'd be able to get a lot for all 3 of those guys.
  16. my mind was blown when i found out that westbrook was shooting 47% this season. i knew he had been better, but i figured he was still around 45%
  17. the fact that they were the ones that inititated the brawl with the fans? you can blame whoever you want for what led up to it, but the bottom line is that artest was the one who went into the stands and started it and if artest and jackson don't go into the stands to begin with, it never happens at all. the pacers had some scumbags on their team that lost it and went berserk. thats the pacers fault.
  18. sorry garza, you aren't good enough for a ntc.
  19. the pistons got off easy and the pacers got destroyed because the pacers are the ones that went into the stands and started brawling with fans. and jermaine o'neal could have protected artest without throwing a monster punch yhat probably would have knocked that guys head off if he didn't slip. the punishments were fair.
  20. i have a signed ball from quinton mccracken
  21. i love how they handled this. they dangled him in the offseason to see if someone give up too much for him, and when they didn't get it they started thinking extension.
  22. derrick williams is destroying the clippers
  23. why would you build for 2-3 years from now? the window is right now. when campbell was traded, the expectation was definitely that he'd make a significant move either at the time, or at the trade deadline.
  24. i don't agree with punting this season in almost any circumstance. when we traded campbell, wasnt the whole point to use the gained resources to improve elsewhere? when our offseason additions consisted of mostly one year deals off the scrap heap, wasn't the idea to have resources to improve at the deadline? really disappointing stuff from bowman since the cup.
