QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) Well hooray for PER. Chris Paul is a damn good player but no he's not as good as Rose and anyone can throw any damn stat around at me, he's just not. Like Gage said, there's not one nba gm that would trade Derrick Rose for Chris Paul at this point, not one. Lets just say, that the Bulls would not have had the best record in the NBA this season if Chris Paul was their pg instead of Derrick Rose, no chance. Every stat or metric favors Paul. It's simply not even close. Paul has been the better player. I love Rose, I love his explosiveness, I like the excitement he brings. At the same time, Paul is a better player than Rose overall. Paul has battled more injuries than Rose as well, he doesn't have the ability to take the punishment Rose does every night. Heck, I don't know any PG who can considering how strong Rose is. At the same time, Paul can simply do everything but score, better. That includes passing, court vision, defense, hell his efficiency field goal percentages and TS% are much better as well. We're all Bulls fans here, and we love Rose. And if I were starting a team, I probably would take Rose unless we're taking them both at the same age. In the case, I'm taking Paul easily. Plus, his game shouldn't drop off as hard as Rose's when they leave their primes which means the longevity will be there with Paul. With guys like LeBron and Rose, I'm not sure.

CP3 not as good as Rose? What?! He's a much better overall player. Rose is more explosive, but he cannot sniff Paul defensively which is half the game. Paul's lowest PER in a season was 22. Paul not as good as Rose, children please.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 02:31 PM) I think theres a lot of people like me who root for the Bears because they are in Chicago and need an NFL team to root for who would be easy converts. Obviously the Bears would rule this town, but the Cubs rule this town and the White Sox are able to support themselves so I think the new team could create a fan base pretty easily. However in the NBA it would be harder because theres less people who care about the NBA and need to be a fan of an NBA team, and anyone who does in this city is going to have a tough time turning their back on the Bulls and their history with Jordan. And theres that guy named Derrick Rose on the Bulls who is really fun to watch right now as well. Yeah, but people forget how big this city is, as well as people willing to jump ship, people willing to pay cheaper ticket prices, and people who move from other cities to here. If you're a Knicks fan, and you move to Chicago for a job. You have a choice to root for the Bulls or the new team. You tell me you're going to be a Bulls fans? There's a ton of fans who hate the Bulls because of what Jordan did to them in the 90's. A ticket in Chicago would be easy to sell as long as it's a winner.

I honestly think both would succeed. I don't like the Bears, so I would definitely watch the other team. I love the Bulls, but I would definitely check out the other team, especially if they have cheaper ticket prices. A 2nd team in Chicago for either sport can be successful. It really is just dependent on prices and where in Chicago they are located.

I liked the Javy deal.

Richmond just left Illinois. I would say they're in shambles to be honest. Anyone have insider info on what went on with him and Bruce?

My minds > Yours. Half of you wanted teh suck that is Tyson Chandler. The other half of you were sad to see Kurt(sup Vinny) go. And the others think Luol Deng is having a great year when in all honesty, he's not playing at a higher level, it's just the team is winning and Rose is a unicorn.

Seems like it's Rock vs Cena and HHH vs Undertaker for next year. Comical they got fined for the chair shot. Miz vs Austin won't happen. Rey vs Sin Cara probably will.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 06:10 PM) My sources in Columbus say they would be very surprised to see Pryor, Posey and Tressell associated with OSU by the time all of the real information comes out. Do you have anymore information. I know you don't want to say something until you verify it 100%, but do you have anything that it relates to? Boos, drugs, etc? And what's the promise that was made that I see zen talking about?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Dwight's tech wasn't rescinded so he'll miss the Bulls game on Fri. Think its a blessing in disguise for us really as he needs as much rest as he can get before the playoffs. It'll giv us a chance to c how we fare without him against the Bulls. Hurts my fantasy championship week!!!!!

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 07:07 PM) He's acknowledged the psychosis. That's at least step 5 or 6. There's hope for the young man yet. Nothing but love. Lol. We all love J4L though. Jackson is just a discussion that he won't budge on and that's fine. Some of us have our biases for certain players, whether we like to admit it or not. At the end of the day, it's

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 05:52 PM) I think you guys are piling on. It's not like he's just posting "jackson sucks", his posts are reasonably backed up. I could see both sides honestly. J4L hates on Jackson more than the average non-Jackson supporter. It seems to me, and apparently SoxBadger that unless Jackson goes undefeated in a playoff run to the WS, wins Cy Young, and WS MVP while Dan Hudson tears his arm off, Jackson will never be the better option over keeping Hudson. I have agreed to disagree awhile ago, but that's how it comes off to some posters.

Told people Jackson has the stuff of a legit ace, and he just needed a legit pitching coach to get him through. He's back with one and he'll do great.

So is there more to the story, or was it a matter of numbers?

MERCY!

Wasn't Kane also Nailz? The escaped prison inmate.

Get'em Carlos!

Beckham shouldve got home on that

Dont stop now!

Keep it going boyssssssssss

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Mar 29, 2011 -> 08:58 AM) Somebody has to do it. Plus it pays the bills. I'm interested in where you started working to gain experience. Even internships. It's tough trying to break through and I'm graduating next year for Database Management. I love doing other things in IT and IS, but DM has a lot of programming and I also want to dabble in programming if I want to do other things that are closely related.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 29, 2011 -> 10:59 AM) Directtv's responsiveness has gotten signficantly better. It used to be horrilbe but it is significantly faster than before. In general, I really like my Direct DVR. Been the best DVR I've had. Comcast is horrific though. I'd still rate it 2nd to last. I forgot to include ATT in there. It's probably in the middle, but I love their box overall. Too bad their On Demand is horrific. In fact, that's all Comcast has going for them.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 30, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) Im sorry should have clarified, he came over from WCW at the merger and has never left the company. Untechnically, technically, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero. Actually, Rey Mysterio Jr.

If the Sox make the playoffs, then they will have a blackout.

I know for a fact Comcast receivers are not very responsive. Probably the least responsive receivers on the market. DirecTV has the second worst in terms of responsiveness. They always freeze up, but in terms of GUI, they're one of the best. WOW has great response, Dish Network is best though overall. Anyway, from what I've heard, the support for Tivo's from Comcast are pretty lacking as they always try to sell you on the fact you won't have OnDemand and if it breaks, it's not on them. Also, from reading TIVO forums, they think TIVO's are a dying investment as so many other companies already offer to lease DVR's.
