QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 23, 2005 -> 07:10 PM) Id tend to agree with you. I think we need a dominate center and while Big Ben will cost a lot and will probably turn into a bad contract in the latter years. The guy is a defensive force at center and would give the Bulls enough of a presence. We'd be able to slide Sweet in for 25-30 minutes (I expect him to be in better shape) and that would be enough of a low post presence to go along with two defensive big men in Ben Wall and Tyson. I would literally cream my shorts. And if we were to trade Ben Gordon, I'd run circles around Wrigley Field in the nude.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 23, 2005 -> 05:55 PM) I'm frankly a little surprised this thread wasn't closed, and that an Admin didn't think much of it. As of this point, this thread contains references to some 13-year old girl and various non-age-appropriate acts, and some racial and religious slurs. Whether or not people were joking around, it's pretty crass. I'm all for jokes, even off-color ones, but this has gone a bit over the line I think. I stand with Mercy on this one. Admins, I'll just say this: I think if you leave this here and do nothing, you put yourself in some potential jeapordy. Plus I think this board is usually a lot more respectable than this. Do as you will. Are you Jewish?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Dec 23, 2005 -> 08:31 AM) Let’s break it down, shall we? You start a thread called “You’re Invited” You post links to photos and a video clip of a 7th grade girl You say “I'm so going... Who else is gonna crash the partay with me?” You post her real name and where she lives. And then you’re shocked, SHOCKED that someone asks what’s up with that? Uh-huh. So in response to my reasonably neutral questions you: Post a photo of black people Ask if I’m Jewish Say that you are 9 years old. Um, okay. And now you’re saying “this girl would probably suck some guy off in the bar of a bathroom in a few years.” Oh wait, it’s not like you REALLY said that. No wait, you really DID. Smart You left out the best part: I love that there's a 13 year old jewish girl from Northbrook singing "if I was a rich girl" That line about sucking guys off in the bathroom was pretty damn funny too!

See, I told you guys. Lebron should have sprained his ankle.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 11:53 PM) What I was wondering was what we’d find on YOUR hard drive? LOL. Yeah, Cheat. You had better think twice next time before you post stuff of this nature. You want me to tell everyone what is on YOUR hard drive? Yeah, that's what I thought.

See, I'm not a bad guy.

Okay, maybe severe was too strong of a strong word. How about he sprains it to the point where he's out for about 10 days. Then we'll get to avoid having to see him twice over the next week.

Is there something wrong with me?

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) Hope Bron puts on a good show... I hope that he suffers a *slight* ankle sprain in the opening minutes. You know, so that we won't have to see him twice this week. *EDITED SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T GET THEIR PANTIES IN A BUNCH.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) If there is a 7'1 or taller player in this league who is quicker than Tyson, well, I can't think of him right now. Maybe Stromile or somebody. Hey, I was coming down off of my crack high when I said this yesterday. Stromile Swift is barely 6'10. I can't find anyone at Tyson's height who even comes close in terms of quickness. Dalembert is probably the closest match.

This is just incredibly f***ed up.

QUOTE(EVH @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 07:11 AM) He's an idiot. He blamed the league's reaction to last year's brawl on racism. Yeah, I can't defend Jermaine here. He thought that the lengthy suspensions were a way to appease the average white basketball fan who was turned off by supposed "thugs" like Artest, O'Neal, Jackson, etc. Jermaine also came out with this nugget: You play the race card and you ultimately look like a fool. When all is said and done, I like Jermaine both on and off the court, but I can't defend him here.

Wow, with alternates and what not, we could send 7 of our defensive starters to the Pro Bowl this year. Tommie Harris Brian Urlacher Lance Briggs Adawale Ogunleye Alex Brown Mike Brown Nathan Vasher I think that Alex Brown goes before Adawale Ogunleye. Adawale tends to piss me off at times with his poor tackling technique. They teach you at a very early age to TACKLE AT THE WAIST AND WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND THE MOTHERf***ER. How many countless times has he whiffed when an RB came his way? He goes high every time. If he could do something about that, he'd be a devastating all-around DE. As it is now, he's about as one-dimensional as they come, albeit extremely valuable in that one area. Not that Alex Brown is absolutely perfect when it coems to tackling technique, but Wally makes him look like Strahan.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 05:54 PM) KG comes to mind, at about an inch shorter if you're gonna get picky. Similar builds, but I'll obviously take KG as the stronger and much quicker player...not to mention him being better at every aspect of the game. Nope, it doesn't need to be mentioned. Garnett is one of the all time great players in NBA history. I don't think it's fair to compare him and Chandler straight up. I never pay any mind to draft day comparisons unless it helps my argument out, like in the case of Iggy and Pippen. This guy is 7'1 with unbelievable quickness. The next KG! I hate those dumbass ESPN motherf***ers.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) How the hell is Joel Pyrzbilla going to do anything for the Bulls. The guys going to get a huge ass contract and doesn't deserve it as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, Joel is a good center, but god damn it's like his feet are stuck in quicksand. If you want to challenge him straight up, he'll block your shot. He's a massive dude, so he can bang with just about anybody. His rebounding instincts are above average. Just don't expect a strong defender, as his numbers would indicate. I wouldn't mind having him on the Bulls if we're talking 5 or 6 million per. I usually tell people to be skeptical when looking at blocks numbers, because guys like Foyle, Przybilla, Haywood, and the current version of Alonzo Mourning have lousy foot speed & are therefore incapable of playing effective help defense. But if you challenge any one of those guys straight up, your s*** gets swatted.

Yep, but it seems like a lot of guys will have a clear path to the rim from a couple feet out, and they just won't dunk it. Sweetney is guilty of that too, but he has a great touch from within 5 to 7 feet of the rim, so he makes up for it. It pisses me off too, especially when they get hammered while missing easy lay-ups. If you're a big man and you go up strong for that dunk while getting fouled, you're gonna get that basket damn near every time, plus the opportunity for a three-point play. If I was GM or Team President or whatever, I'd bring someone credible in to work with Tyson on his offensive game. Maybe it's just a matter of showing him some film and pointing out that he needs to go up strong more often. I'm thinking that nobody says a god damn word to Chandler about anything when it comes to offense. Tyson is uncommonly quick for his size. If there is a 7'1 or taller player in this league who is quicker than Tyson, well, I can't think of him right now. Maybe Stromile or somebody. There is no reason why he shouldn't be dunking it 5 to 6 times per game, in addition to hitting 70% of his free throws. Get a motherf***ing tutor in here ASAP.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 12:59 AM) I was going to say that she is a pretty girl. I'm sure that's what you meant. ;-) Yep, she is kind of pretty for a sasquatch.

Good God, that is one big b****!

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) 1. THE REF Mrs. Ribbie and I watch this classic every Christmas Eve after our son goes to Sleep. Ahhh...what a warm, romantic film. Caroline: I had this dream... Lloyd: Do we have to do dreams? Caroline: I'm in this restaurant, and the waiter brings me my entree. It was a salad. It was Lloyd's head on a plate of spinach with his penis sticking out of his ear. And I said, "I didn't order this." And the waiter said, "Oh you must try it, it's a delicacy. But don't eat the penis, it's just garnish." Dr. Wong: Lloyd, what do you think about the dream? Lloyd: I think she should stop telling it at dinner parties to all our friends. I just purchased this one on DVD not too long ago, actually. Great flick.

I get older, but "Home Alone" just continues to get better. For me, it's easily the best Christmas movie. Everybody needs a little Chevy Chase come Christmas time too.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Dec 19, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) Word. Love it, it makes me think of Christmas every time. It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees Decorate the house with lights at night Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright In the fireplace is the yule log Beneath the mistle toe as we drink egg nog The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's But each and every year we bust Christmas carols

If Steve Francis had any brains whatsoever, he'd be an amazing all-around PG. I've read time and time again that he doesn't have any defensive upside, but from what I've seen, he has the tools to stick opposing PGs, just not the brains. He has the Larry Hughes disease, which means that he tends to free-lance in the passing lanes at the expense of staying on his man, so his steals numbers usually look great, but overall team defense is considerably worse. His decision-making is just so pathetic in a half-court offense. That's why Houston and Orlando fans can't stand him. When all is said and done, he probably just doesn't have it in him to kick that scoring mentality to the curb. Labeling this guy "franchise" has only made things worse, as he feels inclined to step it up in the compulsive gambling department. He takes some of the absolute dumbest shots that you'll ever see, kind of like Ben Gordon.
