Also, for as much as the spurs "are not the heat" the core of Duncan (greatest PF of all time), manu and parker is better than what the bulls have. They've been able to identify and develop late and cheap talent better to keep those tools around.

We are probably already at about 130k deaths, if not more. And apparently ISIS will try to enflame the Shiites into attacking Sunnis and start this up again.

Jozy was pretty good at holding the ball upfield and letting possession get started. I think Aron is better than we saw, just a tough position to go in at 25' and start up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) Looked like by far the biggest crowd of all the sites they showed on ESPN around the USA. yes, it was not a good idea to meet our whole family there with kids We ended up at Wabash Tap, also a good time. Most of the rest of the crowd that couldn't get in went there.

NBA Thread 2013-2014
Not to mention if there is a position or player type I'm 100% confident the Bulls can identify and develop, it's Jimmy. I was excited when it seemed like his shot was increasing, and maybe with more offensive options we see him blossom, but with him being a 30% 3pt shooter...eh, okay. I appreciate his ability to draw a foul though. And he's a good man. And handsome.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 04:49 AM) It's so maddening that the media treats them like their opinions are worth listening to as well. I mean, literally, the same idiots who insisted everything was going to be fine and when they finally got embarrassed enough to say out loud the original non-plan was working, swore the surge magically fixed everything. All we got to do is stay there forever at a cost of hundreds of billions per year. Piece of cake. Let's not pretend we shook the can before we opened it though, let's act pissed that it sprayed everywhere. I mean, what we've basically found out is antagonistic dictators whom threaten war to retain strength at home are preferable to chaos, even from a human rights perspective (at this point right?) The chaos has opened up even more genocidal situations than before.

Well, this should be an exciting 2 weeks. I said I was going to ignore it because of the inevitable disappointment, but instead I'm going to enjoy it and then ignore the bulls until the season starts and I get irrationally excited about a 2nd round exit.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 16, 2014 -> 04:54 PM) Pop is a lot better than anyone else, there is really no reason to even compare the two. This is true, but looking at how Pop transformed the team from great d/slow possession team to this iteration makes me hopeful that Thibs can evolve as well. He has the work ethic to do it, and showed by bringing Noah to the point center position and package sets that his team couldn't execute that he is somewhat creative. I think people forget that coaches can get better tool. Thibs may just be getting started.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 16, 2014 -> 03:17 PM) If they did that, it would be a incredibly wrong and misguided assumption on their part. The Spurs roster is so much better than the Bulls it isnt even funny. According to our favorite Cowley, the front office is going to go balls to the wall to make this roster better for next season I missed this, Kyle. You are right: http://www.blogabull.com/2014/6/16/5814340...-and-aggressive While I'll believe it when I see it, this is the great news. I'd much rather hear this than the nothing we are used to. I just hope it leads to action. Frankly, the window is closing.

Gar is probably salivating at two teen picks. This is the group who apparently was "distraught" about having to unload Kirk's contract in 2010 in preparation for Free Agency that did not go well.

Attendance
Honestly, who cares. There is clearly nothing anyone in here can do about this. I have gone to numerous games this year, and I've enjoyed the hell out of this season. I don't feel like pining about why there aren't more fans. Maybe it's that baseball is like the least popular sport among teens now.

So where are the people that complain about not watching the NBA because it's "an iso game" now? Are they the biggest spurs fans in the world or can we just call that b.s. at this point.
