QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 05:08 PM) Samuel Dalembert was out there. he signed a 2-yr 7.5 mill contract, we had league min to offer after Dunleavy. For as bad as we are at 3pt shooting we needed Dunleavy more than 4th big.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 05:00 PM) The tv guys alluded to that too. "Why are you smiling when it's 23-0? What is there to smile about???" Look, I think Oregon came off as entitled last night too. It wasn't a particularly proud night to be a Ducks fan...but yeah, I just thought these guys were saying some uncalled for s***... People having a bad day at work must look miserable the entire time or else we know they don't take their job seriously.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 04:45 PM) All I know is they were making fun of Oregon for saying they'd score 40 on Stanford, specifically DeAnthony Thomas...I thought that was pretty inappropriate for them to be saying on-air. Brian Griese called Mizzou-Tennessee and consistently was talking trash on Mizzou's kicker. The dude is a college kicker who missed a kick, lay the f*** off. He was already getting killed by the awful mizzou fan contingent of which consists of 80% of student body.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 01:16 PM) PPR league...need to play 2 RBs out of Ray Rice, Darren Sproles (return yards count), Ben Tate, Andre Ellington and Rashad Jennings. I have no idea who the best two are this week. Thoughts? I'd go Tate and Sproles. Ray Rice has destroyed my season.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 01:49 AM) I'm really hoping they don't re-sign Deng, he seems to be getting worse every year. Even Boozer looks better so far. I used to be fine with him, he seems to be eroding from passable #3 option to offensive liability. I think they're fine with Rose, Noah, Butler and a Gibson/Mirotic duo at PF (I'm not even assuming Mirotic is a star, just an Ersan Ilyasova type). They need to find a SG/SF that can efficiently score in the high-teens at a minimum. I don't know where that guy comes from though unless they get lucky with the Charlotte pick (and it might be 5 years before that guy really makes an impact) . They don't really have the cap space to sign a stud even without Deng and Boozer and Klay Thompson isn't going to fall into their lap. I'm not writing them off, but I'm a bit more worried than I was a month ago. Also, not having a 4th big with the injury history that Noah and Boozer have borders on a criminal transgression. Right but we knew that was coming. Therewas no money for one and even the bigs I thought could be available signed for way more. Funny seeing people advocate for trading for asik before the one year that would have killed us if we matched. I guess that contract proved it absolutely was moveable.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 8, 2013 -> 01:44 PM) They ran 58 plays on offense for 312 yards...they fumbled the ball in the Stanford red zone twice, once on the five. That's not domination so much randomness. The lack of plays and possession time is more attributable to the Stanford offense than the Stanford defense. Adding to that - it was an away game against a top 5 team. I simultaneously feel bad and feel amused about this loss. When Oregon loses I do think they take it on the chin more than they should from the media. Part of that is Oregon's popularity with non-college football fans. I feel like way too often I hear, ya but that team couldn't hang with OREGON's offense. And truth is they probably could. So there is a backlash to bandwagon fans that don't even really watch much college football. But I feel bad, because I think Oregon gets more s*** when they can't pull off their undefeated seasons because they aren't an old guard team. You see that with Jessie Palmer's dumbass comments. Look at Oklahoma. That team has been so inflated last 3 years just because it's Oklahoma (and probably b/c recruiting rankings). They can lose a game to Baylor and it doesn't say much about them. If Baylor lost? Baylor can't hang with the big boys. Just annoying, but most of the CFB media came from the big programs.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 7, 2013 -> 06:50 PM) The biggest problem with the Bulls, and it's been a problem for a long time, is the team is full of jump shooters. Rose is the only guy that can create off the dribble. Neither Boozer or Noah are post players, the get their points on jump shots and put backs. So when the team can't make shots, they lose. And that problem is made worse when they get beat on the boards. I don't see how this problem rectifies itself. In the past they had guys like Korver, Rip and Nate that could stretch the floor and actually make baskets. Dunleavy isn't really the guy to do that. Not sure Rip qualifies since he never played. Nate is in Roses spot. Dunleavy absolutely should be hitting shots. He's replacing your Korver/Belli. Bulls need someone to be aggressive with passing beside Rose. our second best passer is Noah, and he's not in good position to help rose out. We just have a bunch of 15 ft jump shooters and not 3 point jump shooters.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Nov 7, 2013 -> 04:05 PM) Magic Johnson: The Bulls and Knicks need to make a trade if they're going to compete with teh Pacers, Heat and Nets. Agree completely with Magic for the first time ever. I think it's easy to overreact. But I do worry. People thought others were overreacting about lakers after 4-5 games last year but it turns out the problems were real. Just so bizarre how awful the offense is. I think Rose needs to chill out and get his teammates moving. I think they are all worried about getting Rose back on track and it's affecting them.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 7, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) I just keep looking back to last year's game. It was in Eugene and Stanford held the Ducks to 14 points. Obviously these aren't the same teams, but they are close and I can't get that out of my mind. Seems to always happen in the PAC though.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 08:17 AM) Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but taking Dion Waiters at #4 in the previous year's draft really forced their hand. I wonder if Kyrie Irving thinks if he can win with that team as currently constructed in the long-term. This is what kills teams that are consistently in lottery. They start trying to force players to fill out their team and they lose sight of franchise changing BPA.

I used to think Seneca Wallace was best backup QB in game, but damn he has no arm anymore. Kind of stuck though if you are packers. Tough to pick up a QB off the street and expect them to perform well. Maybe just do some power running all game.

Tonight will be an interesting game for Bears. We'll see if Trestman's offense has better insight on moving the ball vs. Pack. And we'll see if Rodgers can break passing yards in game record vs. our terrible defense.

Nothing like not even getting to enjoy your 200 yard 3Td performance from Hilton because you went up against Nick Foles and Andre Johnson.

Yay Mizzou. Mauk doesn't have much touch on slants but he is explosive. Ours rbs/dline took it over though. Only UT points was a 51 harder.
