QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) The Bosh-less Heat barely got by the Celtics. I think the Bulls with Rose could have beaten them (without Bosh) in the ECF. This is exactly what Im talking about. IF the Heat are down a player, then the full strength Bulls can beat them. The fact is the Heat down a player (who would arguably be the 2nd best player on the Bulls) were able to make the NBA finals. That should scare the s*** out of Bulls fans, especially as the Bulls still have failed to get anyone on Bosh's level. Basically its how fast will Wade break down, and how good will Lebron/Bosh be with out him. Otherwise you are just hoping, which is fine, but call it what it is.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 01:04 PM) And that's exactly why Jerry and the FO is just sittin' back and chillin'. Because Bulls fans are going to play that card for eternity. If you can't see how Miami just totally thrashed OKC and recognize that the Bulls, even with Rose, would've suffered a similar fate, I don't know what to say. Regardless of what you thought the Bulls could have done, you still should be asking questions because the Heat/Thunder arent going away. The Bulls need a legitimate on the ball threat who can score and most importantly hit jump shots. Otherwise the Bulls are hoping for best case scenarios to beat those other teams, because while Thib's man to man, grind/slow game will beat a ton of weaker teams, its not always going to stop Durant/Lebron type scorers.

NBC's live options on tv, Women's Water Polo, Men's Field Hockey, Women's Handball. This sucks.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:51 PM) Didn't need one, they had Jo and Asik....What was out there this year that would be a huge upgrade over Naz thats not getting some ridiculous contract (Asik) You cant change the question. The statement was that the Bulls acquired players of similar caliber as Tyson Chandler, thats just patently untrue. It wasnt about money or availability, it was that the Bulls got someone as good as Chandler. Thats a bulslhit nonsense statement, whoever said it needs to own it.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:45 PM) Almost. And this hard on for Mark Cuban really perplexes me. Yes, he's a good owner, but prior to 2011 the Mavs were known for being perennial playoff chokers. Number of chips they won? 1. Number of chips we won? 6. And look at the team they assembled to win that championship. 1 superstar and a bunch of good roleplayers. Thats exactly the opposite of what you're advocating for now. Its great that the Bulls have won 6 championships, but those are in the past, and none of them are in the last 10 years. If you are happy with 6 Championships in the 90s, that is great. But the fans you are talking to, want the Bulls to win in the future, they arent happy settling for past results. Furthermore, you arent even listening to their argument. It isnt that they prefer the roster, its that if Cuban was the Bulls owner over the last 10 years, we wouldnt have been as s***ty. And I dont really think many people would argue with that. Your mentality is like the Bulls, prepare for the best, hope for the best. My mentality is, prepare for the worst, hope for the best. So right now, most sane Bulls fans are asking what have the bulls done to prepare for the worst. And the answer is not much. Its not about everything going right, its about winning when everything goes wrong.

Belarus wins, feels like GB let this one slip away.

3 match points for Belarus, going to be rough for GB, especially with Robson serving.

Then 2 terrible points for Robson, one being a double fault.

Robson bails Murray out on a terrible return.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) ^ exactly, lol. He'd bash every one of those signings, because none of them are Dwight, Lebron or Kobe. The 2011 Mavs team is exactly the type of team he DOESN'T want us to have. What player did the Bulls sign who has been DPOY, on the Dream Team, etc? Cause I see none.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) The same Tyson Chandler you've already taken a dump on, past their prime players like Peja and Marion who are similar to what the Bulls tried to do with Rip, Corey Brewer who scored a grand total of 5 points per game for them, and a washed up J Kidd who yes can still pass the ball....All sound like players you'd poo on if the Bulls got them before you even saw them play here. Who did the Bulls acquire that are on the same planet as Chandler?

Mixed tennis doubles is strange. Looks like its headed towards an odd tiebreaker (no third set).

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:14 PM) I know what I see and I see that neither one of you has said anything positive about the Bulls in my short tenure here. It's all negativity. If that's the case then it's fair to question your Bulls fandom. I'm sorry if it offends you. Youve been here less than 2 months and are talking to posters who have been here 5+ years. Go back and read the threads, but a lot of people here were very pro-Bulls for a long time.

Im still not sure anyone knows the reason for the first fight. As I said 2 days ago, there were rumors about a previous fight, but Ball was denying involvement.

Ive been to Gettysburg and a few other sites. I always felt sad, because its just a massive amount of human life lost.

Hey Cody, its me Tom, ive been thinking a lot about you, I mean a real lot. I cant get you out of my mind, your powerful moves, your amazing touch. I dont think Ive thought this much about another guy in a long time. There have been others who have caught my eye, but none have stolen my heart like you. Please say youll make me the happiest man alive and accept my offer.

It sounds like Tom wants to make sweet sandusky love to one of his recruits.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 10:14 AM) Oh, you mean the opportunistically offended. Or being clever. If you want something to change, you use every opportunity to effectuate that change.

Since everyone wants to talk about the AFC East: http://flapship.com/afc-east-preview-with-vegas-over-unders/

Everyone's eyes in the arena are on the scoreboard, except for all the viewers at home because NBC never shows the scoreboard.

haha yes it was, some other girl was doing a floor routine to it, wish I could have seen that.

I also love the random background music due to the floor rotation in another group, Pink Floyd woooooo

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) lol. That's what soxtalk has become. It's politicstalk for the most part. Lame as hell. This is supposed to be a sports board. We could trade for strasburg tomorrow and it wouldn't generate 40 pages of this dumbs***. Most of the posters that live in filibuster rarely ever post in pht. We need to get rid of fili asap. It's a SPORTS board, people. Eh, I used to only post in PHT, its just not that enjoyable anymore.

You gotta love Rebecca Soni, she doesnt just want to win, she wants to break records.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) You werent there so not sure how you being there at one point has to do with that particular fight. We all went to college and I was jumped and hit with a brick in the face and it has nothing to do with this. Badger football is huge as you know and there is no way the attackers didnt know that was Montee Ball. No way. I took your post as saying it was just a random jumping of a person, if that wasnt the case then I am mistaken. I dont think it was a random jumping at all. Im saying that there are a lot of fights that happen and its hard to tell what the reasoning is, especially at 2am when everyone is leaving the bar. There are a ton of rumors floating around, one of them is that the football team got in a fight with some guys, and these guys then attacked Ball as retribution. Ball denies it, but who knows. I was saying that in college people get in fights and Ball had a strange incident at the Mifflin block party this year. If I had to bet, I would say its about a girl Montee banged.
