Stinky Stanky

Denver was sorta playing with half a squad themselves. Bulls were simply too athletic for them. Ayo's a dynamo.

DeMar evoking mid range memories of Chet the Jet as well as MJ. But Chet was more of a post up PF. If you're too young to remember, you missed some fun teams. I'm on Cloud Nine, keep it up Bullies.

Correctamundo. He had to go elsewhere to become what he became after wasted years here. Got us a nice draft choice which was promptly wasted.

If anyone watched NYK vs. BKN you saw a great NBA classic. Takeaways: Couple bigs doing pine duty that could help the Bulls out right now. Go get 'em. Lots of familiar faces on both sides. Our old JJ that Thibs misused and then doghoused and demoted before he was traded away with the winning free throws. Good for him, closing over the benched Blake Griffin. About those last free throws: They were up by 1 with 2.2 seconds to go after he made the first. Coach Nash should have told him to miss the second. NYK with no timeouts (Thibs hasn't changed there) would have to throw the rebound 70 feet to get a 2 point shot off and the clock would run out. Same for the three pointer, unlikely timewise but it beats you either way.

Willie is the Cubs third base coach.

Vuc is having a subpar season, fer sure. And who wouldn't want an MVP center? Maybe our guy will get it together; long way to go yet. Coby? Even if he gets it together, who wants a player who has a good game every ten days?

The ball was long gone before that foul. Should have counted the basket and the foul against Zo. If falling into a defender is a foul and it might be.

I'm only a casual football fan, but Nantz and Romo are the best TV booth team I've heard in a while. Esp. compared to the awful announcing I heard watching college football yesterday.

I was thinking of the crash.

The Clemente of his day.

Add Deandre Jordan to your list of shells. You missed seeing him lumber coast to coast on a break in the second half. Best laugh of the night.

Fun seeing a pretty good team crumble in LA. Plenty of defensive energy even on a back-to-back. And the threes were going in. They'll all get a good night's sleep. Me too.

I enjoyed Jason on the call last night. He's better at basketball than baseball, I think. Better than Adam too, sorry to say. The game reminded me of some grindy Bulls defensive teams of way, way back.

I have a serious question here. What causes the late break on a pitch that analysts are always talking about? A pitch leaves the pitcher's hand with a certain spin rate and velocity which determine the size and direction of the break. If a pitch is to start breaking more during its flight, it can't be because the spin rate increases; if anything, the spin rate will decrease slightly during its flight. That would actually cause it to break less. Contrariwise, the velocity of a thrown ball will decrease slightly during its flight because of air resistance. That slower speed would cause it to break slightly more because of less inertia. So the two effects would seem to even out. What then, is the cause of the late break, or is the late break effect an illusion of some sort?

He has a long neck. Is that good for playing basketball?

You're all remembering him when he was on fire. When he isn't, well, he isn't doing much good on either end of the court. Second unit scorer or trade bait. Don'tcha like Ayo much, much better?

I can give you Tuesdays at midnight in my garage. No pay, work for tips. Warning: raccoons are aggressive around here at night. Nah, seriously, you're funny. Me too, but saying this now could be a ruse, as others have posted.

That is one great explanation, thanks. And may I add that velocity in the case of a pitcher who didn't have any to begin with means nothing.

Many of those balls were fielded in self-defense. Joking aside, he does induce a lot of ground balls.

Half a season of competence over the last three seasons is a small sample size too.

Trying to say a kind word about the losers when it becomes inevitable. Announcers do it all the time, but it's not appropriate here. I'm feeling better now.

You saw the root of it all through all the smoke. Better analysis here than anywhere else. Last games of this WS being pitched by bullpens and Wunderkinds. A far cry from us in '05. Fried's established, but he's been a disaster the last two games.

Jimmy was low 1st round but he made something out of himself with a lot of hard work. Something Joakim, a high 1st rounder, also did. Made the departed front office look better than it deserved, those two. Ayo is a PG playing out of position. Didn't he win the Cousy award as best college PG?

I wonder if he's getting more than the "Ambassadors" like Scottie and Joakim. The team's got money to burn. You and I could be Ambassadors too.
