Props and congrats to Noah. In this era, bigs have many more responsibilities defensively than previous eras. I don't think any big right now does more or as much as he does on D. and lol@roy hibbert. Even as late as March everybody figured he was a lock for the award. He's reverted back to slow/fat Hibbert.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) He just looked like he lacked energy. Wondering if it's related to his friend's passing. Yeah, I thought about that. Who the hell is Tyler Green, anyway?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 08:35 PM) Noah looked deflated this game. Nene kicked his ass. But Noah is due one. This Wizards team is no joke. I have no idea why Bulls fans thought/think the conference finals is a lock (not saying that's happening here). The playoffs tell the truth and the Bulls have multiple weaknesses.

I must say DJ has been one of the best in-season pickups that wasn't acquired by trade in nba history.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) You people! lol. now you're pro-espn when it's convenient? Do me a favor. Who finished 4th in the mvp balloting last year? how about the year before that? how about in 2006? That's right. Nobody gives a f***. You remember the winner and MAYBE the runner up. This year it's Durant, LeBron and Griffin. Noah has had a fine season. But that's it. Only Bulls fans are trying to make it more than that. And that's not surprising at all.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) SO how much consideration should Joakim get for the MVP. To me, Durant is the clear winner, but after that? lmao. and you say I say dumb s***. Stop! Oh my goodness. What is wrong with you people? We've got the Michael Jordan statue outside of the UC and you wanna talk about Joakim Noah finishing 2nd? get outta here.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 06:44 PM) David Lee last year and Bogut this year. Not that they were going very far this year anyway but it still sucks. The Warriors to me were that one team that could get bounced in the first or shock everybody and get to the finals. Their defense has been elite this year (4th in efficiency) and the way they can blitz you from deep made for a pretty dangerous combo.

Looks like the Warriors won't have Bogut for the playoffs. Huge blow.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 05:24 PM) His defense turned the Nets from about the worst defensive team out there to above average. It's still absolutely elite. And he plays 22 minutes a game so that he can play 30 plus for the playoffs. Their raw opponents ppg allowed looks good due to their slow-pace. They're only 18th in defensive efficiency, though. KG has missed 30 games and barely played in a handful of others. Not sure what you're seeing. KG has been below average to say the least

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Apr 14, 2014 -> 05:35 PM) even tho I loathed them. gotta say I'm looking forward to this: Everybody loathed them. Which is why it's hilarious that 20+ years later we have fans that want that style of play back. No thanks. Go watch wrestling.

Dumb question alert! So because Toronto won their division, do they get the #3 seed over the Bulls if the two teams finished tied despite the fact the Bulls have the better conference record?

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 08:18 PM) Beckham has frustrated us since his nice rookie year of 2009, it's not like we would be trading a Nellie Fox or Ryne Sandberg. Elrockin, like greg, are adult children when it comes to sports. If elrockin had his way, Buehrle, Garland, Contreras, Garcia, Dye, CQ, Swisher, AJ, etc, would still be on the team.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 08:07 PM) You ruined a good post with this inane idea of trading Beckham. Semien hasn't proven anything yet

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 04:06 PM) Still finding reasons to hate on the Bulls, huh>? Actually, yeah. At least management. Their easily the lamest/cheapest of the big market teams. Deng, Asik, Korver, Belinelli and Nate have all been let go for tax reasons. I think it's funny they might be forced to go over it anyway because Noah decided to have a career year at almost 30.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 12, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) Amen, brother Rockin. That was a pretty entertaining post, Dick Allen. One of the best I've ever read. It's why message boards are worthwhile. I didn't get mad at Abreu today at all for his failures, but to be fair, it should be noted that if you had to pick on one hitter who "cost us the game" it probably would be him today. Opposite of the pick to click I'd say. That's OK obviously but he stunk today. Paulino does suck, though. Please cut him loose, White Sox. My god he is buzzkill (so is Axelrod; don't you dare bring him up to the big league club). Is Dick Allen sending you checks? You kiss his ass quite often. You gotta stop with that.

Anybody know anything about possible Noah incentives (1st team all nba, dpoy, etc) that could put the Bulls over the tax? lol. Funny as hell if true.

lol@Miami. I've never seen two more undeserving potential #1 seeds in my life.

Marc Stein has Noah and Gibson winning the DPOY and 6th man awards. Can't say I disagree. I had Hibbert winning the DPOY but things have changed massively since their collapse.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 12, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) Yeah, only team that's underperforming right now that I can see them "turning it on" is the Heat but that depends alot if Wade is somewhat healthy but he can go down anytime, he's too fragile right now. The Pacers, OTOH, just flat out stink. LeBron WILL need to go full ham if the Heat are to 3peat. This will be the first time they most likely won't have HCA in the Finals, that could be huge. They didn't have HC in 2012 when they beat OKC. I don't think it will matter this year either. Think about it, the Spurs are looking at Houston/OKC in rounds two and three just to get to the finals. OKC is looking at the Clippers in round f***ing two. Beat the Clippers? Next up the Spurs. I think whoever wins the west won't have anything left for the Heat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 12, 2014 -> 10:43 AM) I can understand that perspective, but still wouldn't be surprised to find that team turning it on once playoffs arrived. Turn what on? They can't score. The Even Turner trade bombed. Bynum is fat and broke. Hibbert and George peaked in December.

Pacers choke nearly complete.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 06:21 PM) It's rather silly to me that people think you can work on a dive/slide and apply it to a given situation like what happened to Garcia. That was a split second decision to go for it, and a foot first slide most likely would have resulted in no catch and possibly the ball getting past him. It sucks that he got hurt, but s*** happens. Players get injured doing normal things like running to first base and misstepping on the bag(machado, knee), sliding into secnd(morneau, concussion) or even the much preferred foot first slide(glen Allen hill absolutely destroyed his arm/wrist) This. Wayyyyyyy too much over-analyzing going on in here.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 08:10 PM) He was answering a question. He doesn't just answer questions anymore. He just talks too f***ing much. The whole mount rushmore thing. Then he says he's jealous of Miguel Cabrera's contract even though he's on pace to become a billion dollar athlete. Then the whole I can't shoot because of the jersey sleeves. It just goes on and on. stfu.

Oh my goodness. I agree with Brian. LeBron - WOULD YOU SHUT THE f*** UP!!! You talk too damn much. You're the best in the world by far. Please, just be f***ing quiet.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) Actually most were laughing at you for pronouncing George as better than Pippen. Well yeah. Somebody would just go "lol" and that's it. I didn't think George would maintain a 62%+ true shooting all year, but oh my god. He's awful now. I might take Deng over him.
