3.3 seconds left, Magic ball. The Magic announcers are saying thats how Skiles is and they think Skiles thought the Bulls could get an easy bucket via the fast break there. When Pargo first passed it all I could see what a wide open Duhon.

Holy cripes. Francis misses, Chandler gets the board. Pargo brings it up and quickly passes it up and it looked like Duhon was gonna get an easy layup when Howard comes in and steals it. Magic timeout. Bulls didn't call a timeout which was odd.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:26 PM) The stats and facts prove who is the better point guard between the two yet you choose to ignore them. What are you talking about

Bulls miss again and Magic call timeout with 25 seconds left (18 on the shot clock).

Gordon is not in evne though it was an offensive posession. Damn, turnover and then Howard jams it. Tie game.

That was a huge 3 by Hinrich. 95-93 with 1:12 left.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:18 PM) So what's that, like the 4th or 5th time that Francis has stolen the ball from Hinrich? Wow. That was Gordon that got it stripped unless I'm thinking of something else.

86-86...Chandler is playing HUGE

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) I don't think Rowand commands the zone as well as Iguchi does... Rowand's a great hitter, but he's a swing and miss guy. That's not the type of player Ozzie wants in that spot. If we had a different manager, I'd be more inclined to have Rowand in the 2 spot, but Ozzies probably going to do a lot of hit0and-running and stealing with Iggy in the box. Thats the one reason I think Guchi fits better in the 2 hole as of now. Guchi is going to be sucessful, but If Everett struggled I could see him and Rowand swapping in the lineup. On an unrelated note, Pods hit the ball hard today.

On a sidenote, Pargo is really becoming a part of this rotation. I've always known he was a hell of a shooter, but he used to kind of just do his own thing. Now he's becoming quite the asset.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:02 PM) Pargo for three! 83-80 Bulls. It was all set up by Chandler's strip of Howard. Ya Tyson did a fantastic job on that and Gordon actually had quite a nice pass. Deshawn called out of bounds, but replay shows otherwise. Bulls get lucky on a call

I'd be tempted to have Aaron in the front of the lineup, but I also see the point in having Guchi up their. I'm a huge Rowand backer though and I think he'd be a tremendous 2 or 3 hitter.

He struggled with his control, but as the game went on his fastball starting looking pretty darn good. Much like the Garcia of old. WGN didn't have the radar on, but I'd guess he was hitting 94 on more then one ocassion with some good life on it. Not his best outing, but he battled through and looked like he started to losen up. Kind of like Colon did yesterday for the Angels.

Cripes, Nocioni just got LEVELED on a layup attempt. Looks like he's alright.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2004 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) I gotta give the Magic credit. I thought they made a mistake by not taking Okafor instead of Howard. Not that Okafor is bad, but Howard is a beast. Howard probably has more upside as well. Howard is a machine defensively and is a tremendous rebounder. Plus he has a great attitude. He was a hell of a pick. Not that Okafor isn't good, but Howard is going to be better.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 06:44 AM) Imagine if they didn't have Cesar Izturis. Plus they lost Cora

Simmons would look fantastic, but he'd have to sign for the full exemption and I don't know if the Bulls want to give that to just one player, plus I tend to think Simmons may just get a little more. On the other hand there are so many other highly thought of players available that the teams iwth cap space may not have any and Simmons and Shareef will have to pretty much go with the mid-level. I know one thing, I'd be giddy with either.

That looked like a tick tack call on Chandler on that drive by Francis. Hell if anything I think it was offensive with Francis clearing with his arm. On a sidenote, I just heard them say that was the 3rd turnover of the game for the Bulls. Holy batman thats gotta be a record considering there is 5:26 left in the 3rd.

Brian Miller = Overrated and I couldn't tell you anything about Javier Castillo. Reynoso is a legit sleeper.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) This goes out to that special someone... M-V-P WILLIE!!!

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) On a more serious issue, I am faced with the choice of skipping class to watch the Sox or going to class and missing some of the game.. I will ponder this while I am not doing school work and trying to find a way to get pass the filters to look at porn..

QUOTE(Spiff @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 08:34 AM) I feared that our plan might be too transparent for some, that they would see our real motivation, and damned if some people here aren't a little too smart for their own good. We really don't care about sig sizes, we just want to wrestle control of the boards away from Jason. This was just the first step in a plan for board (and possibly, world) domination, but now that Mr. El Pierzdyenikguchoatmealrasinsupercrunch has seen right through it, it doesn't matter anymore. Once we get everyone to make their sigs smaller, we can move on to Phase Two. I can't even begin to divulge the details of Phase Two, but rest assured there will be changes that will give you nightmares, or at least make you hungry. All of this while Jason is on a surprise trip to Europe. Oh yes, he has no idea Mr. El, and that's what makes it so delicious. Wow Spiff, thats it your gone as admin. What were the odds I stopped into a library (thought it was a bar) in Europe to check in on the site. After seeing this I immediately booked plane tickets home to take care of this issue. After all the years of service I put into the site, this is how I'm repaid Seriously everyone, this is something being done as a convienience to most. Its not something being done because we want to snap the whip, none of us give a damn, we've long wanted to have some size requirements for sigs and well now they are there.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 08:28 AM) Yes I understand that, but there are some people who just dont want to see any of it all together.. TMar told me he turned off the avatars, thats what I was saying.. I wasnt sure if you could turn off sigs too.. I know there are some people who dont want to see any of the stuff.. Im at school right now and the pages go so slow because of the video avatar/sigs which really pisses me off.. but I get what your saying, I think my post was missunderstood We talked about possibly getting rid of video since it can be slow for those that are on dialup or slower connections. In the end I think if thats the case people can simply turn off the avs. I also am 99% sure you can turn off sigs. This way people have a few options, you can have sigs and they won't take as much space or people can get rid of it all together. Regardless everyone that wants to use a sig will have plenty of space to use it, imo. Its not like were going to sit around right clicking and checking the size of every sig. Its more to have a limit out so those really long sigs that when someone posts multiple times in a game thread for example, don't take up pretty much the whole page (when multiplied over all the posts).

QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 07:52 AM) The guideline says 1 pic. I have 2 pics I wanna bring back but they might be smaller than that one. If its smaller or you fit them both it seems fine by our regards. The key is to just limit the size people have because we've had lots of complaints from members who like to see sigs, but not ones that take up half the page. Sigs are a cool thing and there are some really awesome ones on this site. In no way do we want people to get rid of them, more to make sure they are a reasonable size (and this may effect 5% of the posters, if that) and if they aren't, to simply resize it down.
