Every team I west is scary. Would you take Bulls in seven game series vs Blazers? They are usually kryptonite. I'm just gonna enjoy. Last few years the entertainment was how this team could overcome everything to win each night. Now it is just great basketball. Their pace is so much more fun. Last year Noah was our 2nd best offensive player. Now he's at least our sixth, taj has certainly surpassed him now.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 26, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) I think his rebounding has surprised me the most. Everything i read about him prior to this season was "soft, euro-style defense and rebounding". It has been anything but, he gets down and dirty and uses his size very well. He isnt perfect, but he is really fun to watch Everything his first week "confirmed" that. Remember first preseason game when Friedell was tweeting that Niko was raw as hell?

Maybe, some may be happy to see Tristan Thompson get bigger role.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 24, 2014 -> 11:21 AM) Will Aaron Brooks be the first tiny, offense-oriented backup PG to return the next season after playing well? I hope. That was some Dr. j stuff last night. Funny to fall in love with these dudes every year. I think Nate was still my favorite though.

And I still think his hammy is bothering him. I haven't seen his warp speed moments as much as the first week. So much more fun watching the leagues top PGs against us when we aren't throwing Kirk at them.

I will say it's funny how enjoyable it is having a team of crafty players. By crafty I mean strategic...um...falling and flailing and bumping into bodies. Whatever it takes to win, man.

5% and 4.7% GDP growth in 2 and 3, let's see how much cheap oil helps in q4 and lets see some wage growth.

What exactly gives this person any expertise?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 23, 2014 -> 04:53 PM) ? I thought the Bulls beat guys last night were saying that this is the new record? I think 51 would be the new league record. They broke the bulls record.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 23, 2014 -> 01:23 AM) there isn't really a need to defend bmags, he did nothing better or worst than the avg sportwriter who writes and make up these top prospects list. bmags, i appreciate what you wrote and i like it. it gives a good preview of what to expect. Just, for the last time and for anyone else that skimmed, what this post was explicitly NOT doing was saying that was our 2017 roster. It was examining the MLB-ready talent we acquired in our vet dumpoffs in 2013 and wave of draft talent since we began re-emphasizing our scouting. I'm just fascinated by how important this year is for the white sox at the major league and minor league level.

I feel like the law did everything politically possible to address price controls through billing and pricing transparency changes.

Going to see some good Etwuan Moore time with Kirk out and him surpassing snell.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 23, 2014 -> 02:43 AM) It's frustrating that the Bulls have gone from a one-man offense in Derrick Rose to a one-man offense in Jimmy Butler. Set up, guys. Recd for complaining about offense in 130 point game.

Seriously has to be highest scoring, least entertaining final minute ever. But I guess nice stat padding.

Great game until this never ending last minute

I love how the Bulls seem to be paying Nazr Muhammed to be the team friend.

I'm all for cautious optimism for prospects, but when it comes to expectations for the top college pitcher's impact...yes I am expecting a lot right away.

I'm off between xmas and nyd. I'm wanting to check out all of these films that came out last few weeks. Want to see imitation game and all the other british biographies.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 08:28 PM) That has gotten harder to do. Teams are less willing to give up multiple picks to move up in the first round. You have to catch a break and have a player available at your pick that somebody 10+ spots farther down really, really wants. Yeah, we heard Emery rationalize that last year. But ultimately you had the bills trading up like crazy, browns trading down, etc etc. It happens. Emery also traded up to get Brock Vereen so...guess who has only 5 picks again.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 09:17 PM) They need a guy who knows what he is doing with the 7th pick. You look at the last 20 or so first round picks, in hidsight there are only at most 4 or 5 worthy of being selected in the first round, and there are several top 10 picks. IMO Bears should trade down and start hoarding. Everyone needs impact talent, but the bears need so much talent everywhere they need to start hoarding picks. edit: said stop instead of start.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 08:06 PM) I was reading Bill James's projections and he had Avi hitting fairly well next year. Aren't all of his projections favorable?

The Chicago Bears should have the highest paid coaches in the league. That family has been stealing from this city for years.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 06:53 PM) I wonder how he would do with a coach like Thibbs. He really should be an all world defender and if you really managed the offensive side, he could be something. Was an awful move for the Pistons. Stan Van Gundy is a fine coach IMO, and after evaluating him he thought the best move was to pay for him to play elsewhere for like, the next 10 years ( i forgot how that provision works).

I want to pay for a moto x in full and move to tmobile, but may just wait for contract to end. The HTC experience, while fun for a bit, has soured. I'm not going to get the next one anymore. May even go back to iphone. At least the damn thing could receive group texts without issue.
