QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) I just want to know how in the world a 6'11 280 pound center can average only 5.4 rebounds a game in almost 30 minutes of play. You would think if he just spread his butt cheeks out and held his arms up in the air he would A) get atleast 7 rebounds a game and B) have the entire Duke bench in heat. He is a good post up player that is all that matters. :rolly

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) And I seem to remember the Sixers doing pretty good when he was on the bench. Dalembert does the exact same thing that Chandler does. Catch alley-oops, and dunks for offense. There is no offensive skill set there. Wanna argue that, try going to RealGM. You'll get laughed at big time. Dally is a good defensive player, but you don't need two. Will teams be afraid to drive??? Probably not. Will teams be able to double our guards??? Yes, because there will be no low post presence to be scared of. Curry gets the job done whether you want to admit it or not. Your outside will not always fall in, especially for this Bulls team who's starting backcourt shoots around 35%. Imagine that with them getting worse looks??? Probably around 32%. Curry is a better player than Dally. Just because you don't want to pay him the big bucks is just stupid not to have a player, especially a top 4 Center(at least statistically) in the league. You have to pay him. He's only 22 and is averaging around 16ppg and that's not because he can't average more, that's because he like the rest of the team shares the ball. And Rasheed Wallace wasn't or is a great scorer??? Are you freaking kidding me??? There's a reason why he was a big acquisition. He can post up anyone in the league and he could step out and shoot the three. Brown just has him, like the rest, share the ball. Detroit has a great scoring PF and a C who gets his points off of rebounds and dunks. Curry is the 'Sheed and Chandler is the Big Ben. So you do not need two of the best big defensive big men in the nba? Why will teams keep driving to the hoop if they are getting swatted constantly and their shots keep getting altered? I will argue with anyone any where on, bbb, realgm, hoopshype, etc... that dalembert is the beter player for this team and the better deal considering he will not be getting any where close to the money curry is. Curry is better at one thing over both chandler and dalembert, one thing. So because of that we want to give him a ridiculous contract? Is it that the bulls share the ball so well that curry does not score more or is it because he has an excellent first quarter ( offensively anyway) and he gets tired or pulls some stupid s*** and gets pulled. Up until very recently he would disappear after the first quarter. We need a four quarter player not a one quarter player maybe two if he really feels like he is up to it that day.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) That may have been too deep for me to understand. Some sort of internal battle? So you find a typo and respond to nothing else because you know it is the truth? Typical. *Waiting for a dumb ass remark*.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) Die on us? Thats really shallow, even from you. This is a f***en Human being dude. Thats f***ed up if all you worry is him dying on us for a salary cap point of view. Shallow? You kidding me? You don't think gm's around the league are thinking the same thing? If you don't think so... wow. For all of you that just laugh at what i say how about backing something up, eh? Clearly unless curry suddenly becomes a defensive force dalembert is clearly the better bargain and better for us in the long run.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 08:48 PM) The same Sam Dalembert who was being benched by the 76ers, earlier this year?? Hell no. Chandler does everything he does and is better at it. Dalembert and Chandler would just get in each other's way and that would equal no offense. I understand defense is important, but offense is important as well. Many other players have had heart problems. In fact, two pretty good players(can't remember names, but it was noted on the radio had irregular heartbeats and they were nothing more than a simple complication. Dalembert Yes, the same dalembert that was benched because his coach is a complete imbecile and cannot throw out a good rotation to save his life. I know one of the other you are talking about is swift who's irregualr heart beat is very serious at the moment. Too many people overated an awesome scorer over a player that can do everything well. Tyson could drop 15 a night if we go by his recent playing time which is what he should be getting... 30+. Dalambert is worse at one thing compared to dalembert and that is scoring. Dalembert will also be a complete f***ing steal compared to the nasty contract curry we get. What are you afraid that dalembert and chandler would steal each others rebounds and blocks? Hardly.

Chandler and davis both nearly have a double double at th half and gordon is shooting 0-7.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 03:43 AM) They have no clue when Curry will be back. Well they have a good idea at this point.

QUOTE(BridgeportHeather @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 03:54 AM) Care to explain why you think we'll lose to Orlando AT HOME, when we've won both games against Orlando so far this season and are unstoppable at home at his present moment? Luckiest possible win ever. They beat us in every category that matters and not by a small margain. No reason to believe we will just walk over them.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) Yep, I can agree with that. I just want him to develop a decent outside shot, that would be scary. Yes, his 30 something percent jump shots scare no one. But when he is in the paint he is a freak.

A chandler/dalembert front court is better than a curry/chandler front court. I am also very scared about signing curry to a crazy deal and have him die on us. I mean come on he has heart problems at the age of 22? Not a good sign if you ask me. I an sure we will definitely have insurance on him if and when we resign him.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2004 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 02:44 AM) The Raps are 9-29 on the road. Chandler is for sure not playing? Nothing for sure yet bet i think he will play. I am not sure for how long but if not we can look forward to some more reiner time.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 02:31 AM) Bulls 84-85 roster Michael Jordan Orlando Woolridge Quintin Dailey Steve Johnson Dave Corzine Sidney Green Dave Greenwood Wes Matthews Ennis Whatley Rod Higgins Caldwell Jones Jawann Oldham Charles Jones Chris Engler Woolridge, dailey, johnson all double digits in their careers and there were some pretty solid role players on that team but they were only 38-44. What gives?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2004 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 02:22 AM) The Cavs have more talent then any of those teams. Not to mention the east wasn't nearly as bad then as it is now. Really? The bulls made it with a 30-52 record.. three years in a row of losing records and making it. It may not have been as bad then as it is now but 30-52 and still makign it is ridiculous. The cavs do not hav an abundance of talent. Two good players and then gooden who has been on three teams in three years for a reason. To be considered the next michael jordan you should not have have played a playoff game. Now do i think he will be as good? No. The closet thing to him? Yes.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) Dont tell me your counting the year where he missed about 80 % of the season? Losing record in his first three years in the league and he got in the playoffs. Not because they played well.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) Lebron is going to be the best player in nba hype= ok Lebron is God, Lebron is going to be the best of all time = over hype Three years down the road who will be a better over all player? Honestly.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) Jordan never missed the Playoffs. How about you take a look at some of the records they got in with. 30-52 is just one of the bad seasons in jordan's early years.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 01:59 AM) Too many pitches Pitch counts are retarded.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) Hows cleveland doing? How were the bulls doing when jordan first got there? He has ilgauskas then.. gooden...? The team sucks.

Not hype... any one who thinks that knows nothing about basketball.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Good thing we traded Brand, right? Seriously though, Deng (get well soon) is doing a solid job for the Bulls. And yeah, in my opinion he can be one of the better players from that draft...better than iguodala...Although I am not a Duke fan myself, they're obviously going to continue to provide some good players... deron/dee=langdon/avery? Wel i worded it wrong. I never like any selection righ away when we get them from duke. But once they are a bull you start to adapt.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) Great outing, El Duque! We were getting worried in the chatroom, he really used a lot of pitches in those first five innings, but in the sixth and seventh, they got impatient, Orlando made some great pitches, and he only threw 104, which is right around his max. You keep him at 100 or right around there, and never too much over, and we should have a healthy #26 for most of the season... The chat room is very cool by the way... over twenty people in there for a while.
