  1. i pretty much feel this way about the hall of fame also, to be honest
  2. I think it has to do with signifying how something will be remembered in 10, 20, 50 years, etc. when many people were not around to watch the season first hand. Winning an MVP award really bumps up the value of how a player is remembered. i think it's mostly championships and numbers that players are remembered for when i think of the best athletes of all time, i really have no idea how many MVPs were won by the guys who were before my time.
  3. or shootout win
  4. why did he use quotation marks on "every"?
  5. New York and Philly played each other last season in game 82, winner got into the playoffs, loser didn't. It went to SO. i know, but that game was still just for the 8 seed. the blackhawks can get the 5 seed or miss the playoffs based on the outcome of one game. if we win and get anaheim in the first round, we'll be favorites. or we could miss the playoffs completely. that's crazy
  6. being out of the playoffs or in the 5th seed determined in one game, against your rival. NO PRESSURE i cant imagine a single regular season game ever having that much importance
  7. He was predicting that a while ago when he went on a twitter tirade about the Celtics blowing the 1 seed. So he was probably thinking that (if not writing it) long before last night. simmons was pimping the bulls before the season started
  8. Why? This has taken a big rebound from Deng and a huge leap from Rose plus ridiculously good bench play to achieve. Rose is making the third-year leap, that was expected. Deng is actually shooting worse from the field, from three, from the FT line and rebounding less than a year ago. But he defends, which is the real thing. Everyone knew he would defend and that Noah would defend. Couple that with getting away from Del Negro ball and getting a defensive genius as a head coach, coupled with a great defensive assistant, combined with the expected Rose jump and however many games of Boozer you're gonna get. I'm just saying it's something that didn't take imagination to see coming. Realistically all you had to do was go "wow, if their bench defends, they're going to be really good." But maybe everyone was so caught up in the Miami spectacle that they missed it. the main thing was that people still thought the bulls were missing a 2 that could make plays behind rose.
  9. how do you guys rank this team compared to the 2008 cubs in terms of dreamiest regular season ever
  10. most surprising thing in the article to me- they held a meeting to ask him to post the lineups sooner?
  11. What's the math regarding that after this game? i don't know exactly, but i know we clinch a higher seed than miami by going 3-3, and a higher seed than boston by going 4-2 (unless we beat boston). that's assuming those teams win all their remaining games
  12. 1 seed is close to locked up at this point
  13. according to espn.com, the first tiebreaker (after points) is total NON-shootout wins. i looked and the blackhawks have 3 more non-shootout wins than dallas i guess they could still catch us in total wins but if that happens we're probably behind them anyways
  14. james franco in pineapple express
  15. the pistons try to foul rose and the refs don't call it. awesome
  16. go away pistons you idiots
  17. i'm still undecided on whether or not i find stacey's "give it to me sexy" catch phrase for kt creepy or not
  18. i want a screenshot of noah tonight
  19. the d has fallen apart in the last few minutes. they're getting to the basket at will
  20. wow rose has been atrocious this half
  21. i've always thought they should just make it so it's an assist if the guy makes both free throws.
  22. and dallas is now on life support. we're up 5 points on them (they do have one game in hand) and we own the tiebreaker
  23. guys can lose their rhythm when playing day/night doubleheaders
