QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 17, 2011 -> 06:57 PM) Before Noah got hurt, they were one of the top 3 teams in the league in pace (Possessions per game or however you define it). After Noah got hurt, they've been in the bottom 10. What can you say, Kurt is a slower guy. Slowing it down has helped their defense in the half court. It's hurt their offense though, especially Derrick who loves getting out on the break.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 17, 2011 -> 05:34 PM) After a couple of hours I noticed it was a lot easier when I was using plasmids instead of trying to scrounge up ammo, and also I didn't have to bother with trying to kill everything. Yep, don't worry. The game gives you more than ample chances to re-up your plasmid bar. I think the first time I played through, I ran out of Eve just once and that was for two seconds. Rest of the game, I had at least two containers of Eve. Can't wait for Bioshock Infinite to come out.

Best Burger: Kuma's Corner in Avondale. Lady Gaga even eats burgers there, nuff said! Best Hot Dog: Hot Doug's in Avondale. Half a mile away from Kuma's. Only bad thing is it's open between like 10-4 on weekdays. I think they added Saturday hours. Expect a line out the door and bring cash. If you don't, Dougie will let you get your meal, eat, then come back after getting cash from the ATM right after you're done.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 17, 2011 -> 05:10 PM) How am I supposed to play BioShock? I mean I don't have problems making it through the game or anything, I just die a lot more than I think I should. In the beginning, use plasma, then melee hit. If they're in water, use the electric plasma. Later on, use incinerate or freeze.

Yeah, I think the Bulls kind of need to beat the Spurs to cement their spot into the NBA elite contender role. I don't think they will though. SA is just a well oiled machine. Then again, we should've beat them in Texas earlier in the year.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) 91 wins, first in the Central. Morel has a good rookie season, Dunn hits over 40 home runs, Konerko declines to near 2009 levels, Rios begins the year with struggles, but has a good second half to recover, Beckham has a breakout season, and Peavy starts 25 games. I'm going with this.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 01:14 PM) You took what I said out of context. Home court wasn't much of an argument against the Celtics last year. Of course you'd rather play at home in the playoffs. However, if the Celtics play their ass off and get home court last season, they would have had nothing left for the postseason. This is also my argument for SA falling on their face come the playoffs this year. The tank will read E. I think SA will fail, but I also think, if Game 7 was in Boston last year, Boston wins.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 12, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) Top 20 1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2. Fallout 3 (barely loses out here) 3. Super Smash Brothers Melee 4. Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening 5. Half-Life, but mainly for it's mods like Team Fortress and Day of Defeat and other obscure ones like Wanted. 6. Warcraft 3 7. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 8. F-Zero GX 10. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 11. Pokemon Red/Blue 12. Resident Evil 4 13. Harvest Moon 64 14. Resistance: Fall of Man 15. TimeSplitters 2 16. Mario Kart Double Dash Or MKWii or MKDS, can't decide. Actually, Diddy Kong Racing may have topped them all. 17. Dragon Warrior 3 18. Fire Emblem 19. Roller Coaster Tycoon 20. Donkey Kong 64 or DKC. Can't decide. Left out sports games because my likes our obscure. Arcady games like Wii Sports, Wayne Gretzky, any Mario sports game, WCW vs. NWO, NBA Jam, and Ken Griffey SNES all belong. My sim likes are Fifa 2002, College Hoops 2k8, MLB 2005, and NBA 2k5. Bioshock is the greatest game of all time. That's all you need to know fellas.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) The second one is still one of the best looking games I've ever seen on any platform - PC included. I like how realistic it feels. The weapons feel like they should in real life - heavy. You also get a decent amount of recoil when you fire. Plus the cover system works nice. Agreed. Play the campaign on Elite and you'll feel awesome after beating it. Can't wait for the 3rd.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 06:11 PM) Newton has terrible mechanics, i don't understand how anyone can think they are good. He holds the ball low like Tebow and sidearms it while taking a hop. This. I think the only reason why people think he can be a QB in progress is because he can't play another position other than maybe TE in which is value immediately drops. With there not being too many good QB's this year, someone's going to take a risk on him because he's a leader and then 3 years down the line, they'll be dissapointed that he's a bust like Reggie Bush. Then everyone will wonder what happened.

BTW, currently constructed and 100%, I think the Bulls are the third best team in the East. I think they matchup with Boston better than they do with Orlando. They've given us troubles for years and I don't know why. We can keep up with Boston. I don't think we'd win more than 2 games against the Heat as their two best players play our two weakest positions. We also do not have a secondary ballhandler. It's sad when Watson has to close out the game in the 4th because no one else can handle the rock while teams are playing deny defense on Derrick.

I've been saying this year's draft was going to be weak for a long time. The prize was supposed to be Harrison Barnes and quite honestly, he's sucked. Kanter may be good and probably will be taken since we don't know how much suck he has in him. Sullinger will be a solid rotation player, but nothing else. It's going to get dark for the next few years for the draft. That's what makes it worse for Cleveland. They can't attract any ballplayers as FA, no one wants to get traded there(hopefully CBA rules prevent players from dictating where they go) and there's no hope in the draft. This is also why I think the Bulls should trade Charlotte's pick for OJ Mayo or any SG they're targeting minus a very select few. Because even if we keep it, by the time we can cash it in, Boozer will be old and we'll be looking for another PF.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 05:56 PM) Deron's a good guy...compared to the other two members of the big three from Illinois (Dee and Head), he's an absolute saint. I would say this is probably a case of fame getting the best of him. Honestly, I think his darkside is coming out and it's because he's always sick of being in the background. He has never gotten the recognition he thinks(and arguably, it's true) he deserves. In high school, it was all about Bracey Wright. In college, it was moreso about Dee Brown. In the pros, everyone overlooks him despite him being one of the best or thee best PG in the league. For the record, I like Paul over him, but that's neither here nor there. With claims that he's leaving, he's most likely to join a superteam or take his ball and go home(to Dallas).

I actually liked the troll. I think this site needs more of his kind. Spark some interesting debate. Then after a month, the ones who sparked no interesting debates, will be gone!

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) I have a feeling Melo would be willing to go to LA, NY or Chicago. Its about money/media presence, etc. The Nuggets see the writing on the wall and realize he is gone and they may get nothing for him. If I was the Bulls Id be calling the Nuggets every hour to see what other players they would want from a third team. The best chance the Bulls have is that they find another team who wants to horde draft picks and then move that player to the Nuggets with Deng/Taj or whatever makes it work. I think the deadline is the 24th, so that means there will be panic by next week. It's all about Lala with regards to Melo. She wants to be in a major market and will not settle for less. Melo saying it's only about basketball is a lie. If it was, he would sign an extension in Denver as they offer one of the best chances for him to win and Denver is a nice enough city to get others to play with him.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 05:50 PM) guys like odom, turkoglu, and pierce are really point forwards who can bring the ball up court and set up the offense. if you leave guys like ray allen and jason richardson open, you are really asking for trouble. in atlanta, bibby is the pg, but joe johnson, jamal crawford can handle the ball and setup offense. in OKC, durant westbrook and harden can all get their own shots off. we are the only contending team i can think of who does not have another player who can handle and create their own shot. i think the point is, and has been for a while, that we need someone who can setup offense, handle the ball and knock down open threes if teams decide to double on rose. It really kills us in the playoffs that if opposing teams send constant double teams at rose and our offense will become extremely stagnant and out of flow. This. In fact, GSW did a good job of exposing this last night. If Rose had the ball past half court, they pressured the crap out of him to get the ball in someone else's hands. No one on this team other than Watson can handle the rock. That's why I've been clamoring for Mayo. Mayo has very good handles for a SG, looks to create his own shot and would be able to initiate the offense. More importantly, he would make teams pay for doubling on Rose.

Honestly, I agree with Sprint being the best bang for the buck, by far. I have a family plan with 4 people, unlimited data and text and 1500 minutes and my bill is $156 a month now. BTW, the minutes you use are only to landline phones. Any other mobile phones(even if not on Sprint) do not count against your minutes.

atdhe is still up on the NET, just need to change it to ME

Can't really disagree with the East bench. Last ones probably came down to Bosh or Boozer. Honestly, Noah would've made it had he not gotten injured. Boozer probably the same. Horford definitely deserved it. Johnson is the bigger name, so they'll always go with that. I can't argue with the C's getting their players in.

Thanks for the white gift outside....aholes! I kid, I kid.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) backup your game as in, put the entire game on your ps3 hard drive and play? or burn the game to a disc and play the burnt copy on the ps3? Edit: Nevermind, got my answer... *downloads firmware and backup manager then runs to blockbuster* Lol yes. And RedBox and Blockbuster stands are like $2. Best part is the SNES and Genesis Emulators.
