Are there any lengthy guards in the upcoming draft?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:50 AM) I think there could be a ton of trades tomorrow. Wouldn't be surprised if there was none either, but I think there could be some big moves. Jets have been rumored to be trading Muhammad Wilkerson. I would trade for him in a heart beat. Bold statements!

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) And to be fair there are a lot, the vast, vast, majority of citizens staying home and not contributing to the riots. This is a battle between a tiny population of both groups. I think the question people need to ask when judging here is, do you think the citizens of Baltimore have a right to protest over another example of police brutality. And if that is yes, would you forfeit your act of protest if subset of the group were destructive? Also, for Chicago. For as useless and stupid as the riots may be in each literal aspect, Chicago could just as easily be facing this soon. Their police dept. does many of the same things as was listed in Ferguson. They literally had a torture ring. They have poor performers, and the climate is right now that a violent police situation may tear this city apart too. This isn't just a Baltimore problem. So my point is, Chicago needs to get ahead, and not just plan for riots. Like...try to solve these issues.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:06 AM) 1) If you know what excluded middle means, why do you keep trying to say anyone who thinks that rumor is ridiculous must believe that these street gangs are now some sort of benevolent, crime-fighting organization? 2) It's not about "middle ground" or giving street gangs benefit of the doubt. These street gangs are s***ty, violent and destructive to their communities, but that doesn't mean we should take outlandish claims about them at face value. I think the point is a matter of perspective. From what I'm reading, Y2HH sees any any dismissal of the claims regarding crips/bloods to be defending the reputation of those gangs in the community. To me, spreading of these rumors usually says a lot more about the people spreading them than anything related to crips/bloods. It's an immediate connection of user to seeing anything in the inner city to gangs and crime.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) If Aiken or Matuella were willing to sign for that big of a discount it would be tempting to pull the trigger, close to $1 million to spend on prep prospects past round 10 could be huge. However, I think the injury history for both of them is too concerning so I'd stay away. If they are willing to sign for that far underslot though, Hahn could use it as leverage to negotiate with other available players. Personally, I'd like to see them take a more advanced college bat like Swanson or Happ, it's been pointed out several times that we have a distinct dearth of position prospects in the system outside of Anderson, Hawkins and Trey and it would be nice to have premiere bat coming up. I don't recall the TJ guys signing for that big of a discount last year, may not be remembering correctly though.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 04:22 PM) Since they are going to play with no crowd at all they should have just played in like a local park district baseball field or high school baseball field. That would have been awesome. I'm pretty sure baltimore's minor league teams are all really close. Certainly there was a minor league stadium that would have jumped for joy to play there. TV would have been great.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 09:39 AM) National Guard has been activated. I expect a pretty strong presence encircling the ballpark. Heavy national guard presence around park could either mean safety, could also mean "great spot to be seen protesting against tanks and armed soldiers". This series should be postponed, very silly planning. They make everyone go through metal detectors for hours to get into stadium, but will compromise safety of their fans outside?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 12:15 AM) Way inseenit...this team has consistently played down to its opposition. However ifnthey cant win on road things will be awfully tight at uc in game 7. I actually thinh road game will be gooD for them. This bucks team gets credit f8r the d but bulls have to clean up the stupid passing and hopefully they finish at the hoop and get off to good start and bury bucks from beginning. everything ok?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 09:41 PM) He had 4 fouls, that didn't mean he couldn't even play. It seemed like Thibs made 2-3 subs in the second half until the last few minutes. He should have been out last five minutes. He's only one who is not idiot with the ball.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) This is terribad. We need to figure out why the hell we can't score... See our 3 pt %. Team sucks at getting to lane. Really missed Dunleavy whole second half.

f*** this team.

f*** it, put in McDermott.

I can't believe how s***ty this team is.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) Pau reminds me of Mike Davis, former Illini. You watch the game and see him blowing opportunities, failing to use his physical tools, etc. but at the end of the game he has an impressive stat line so you don't know how to evaluate him He and Jimmy were the only players today. Complaining about Pau after today is like caul field complaining about the bullpen after Sunday.

Put in Dunleavy mirotic Gasol and butler.

OJ Mayo keeps getting superstar calls.

Can't believe how these shots are not falling for Bulls, while OJ mayo is getting superstar calls against Jimmy. Can't believe we aren't closing out this team. But I totally should because disappointing productivity is what the Bulls do.

It's amazing how much it takes to get a UC crowd on its feet. I don't understand why Bulls fans are so bad at making noise or getting on their feet in the playoffs.

I keep thinking this team will be the smart ones, cause like vets and stuff, but man are they dumb. If you are going to have Taj on the court to guard Jared Dudley. Who is one of two bucks you need to guard at the three, you better guard Jared effing Dudley.

Joey Crawford has never met a playoff game he didn't want you to notice him in

Guys, it's pretty clear the cross court bullet passes to a tight window are WORKING. Definitely not going to get stolen!!!! So smart.

Noah went to go guard the hoop and left wide open ilyasova.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 06:56 PM) Shocked. You can now punch guys in the face and only lose two games. Seriously, isn't it a greater fine for leaving the bench?

That is some hot goss

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 01:26 PM) 1st we need to put away the Bucks. Yes. Win tonight and that's still only 1 less day of rest than Cavs.
