Yeah, I think LinkedIn's opening was ridiculous, but there are many things different than the first tech bubble. First, that most of the big tech companies are profitable and have real business models, and are not just doing fundraising rounds and spending it as quick as they can. LinkedIn's b/c of their business angle has a lot of opportunity for profit growth. They are just tapping into that now. But they are a lot further along than twitter.

hahahahahahhahahah

i suppose if you are going for 1 day you are correct. So clearly secondshare can be a good indicator for anyone looking to make a quick turn around on an IPO

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 20, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) I just kept watching that stock rise and rise on google finance, if I had paid attention enough to know it was going public I would've jumped on the wave early on. from what i read the first real purchase of it was at $83. Which at that point, I'm not sure i'd be confident I'd get a good return. But I DO think LinkedIn is a solid company, with real revenue and chance for growth.

holy LinkedIn

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 19, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) IN the first quarter especially. They were all open looks based on ball movement but the shots wouldnt fall. Right, but if you are keith bogans or kyle korver and you get a wide open 3 look, we need them to take those shots. Korver has to make an impact on offense to have any sort of value. He's driving me crazy with this cold streak.

Oh it's about Game Change. That should be interesting. That was a quick read.

Yeah, i'm sure the NBA would have a vested interest in keeping talent away from Blake Griffin. Gmab.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2011 -> 08:55 PM) He is a bad fit for that team. He would have been perfect in Chicago for the offense Thibs runs. Too bad he followed his ego. Right. It's more helpful to have a banger down low if wade/james can't penetrate. Instead they have bosh who likes to stay outside and hit jumpers. Which isn't terrible it's just not incredibly complementary to the other two, the way that Allen and Garnett were to pierce.

The s***ty thing about st. louis is their public transport sucks. The nice thing is cheap housing. Find a sublet, look around "the hill", and do some calculations.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) if you want to eliminate Rose you have to do two things. Trap him as soon as he crosses halfcourt, and beat him up. to the latter...only if he doesn't get fouls called when it happens.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2011 -> 06:27 PM) If there's one thing I expect to see from this team, it's "Not believing the hype". A Mr. Thibodeau sold me on that when his response to a question after Game 1 involved the phrase "Well we still have some things to tighten up". Thibs says that after every game.

well, that's what the sexual revolution was all about: raping children and ruining their lives, while hiding the perpetrators and protecting them from prosecution.

as long as rose does, as well (but frankly he has only gotten fair calls the first game of the pacers.)

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 18, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) I am beyond nervous for this game. I see this as a Wade/LBJ "f*** you" game. I fear the refs are going to call the game more closely, allowing Wade/Lebron to attempt 25+ free throws and minimizing the Bulls' D. Hopefully i'm wrong. Yeah, i do worry that the league will be like "those are reach in fouls, don't let those occur" and all the sudden we have to play off of james/wade.

Also, the Sushi Den is supposed to be one of the best sushi places in the nation.

There's a breckenridge brewery in Denver that's pretty good. Denver's mexican food isn't bad, either. But, not as good as it is in the states to it's south and south east.

f***in kurt thomas, i miss him.

I'm excited how active this thread is for everyone. Seems soxtalk is in for brighter times.

Just unreal game by Dirk last night. Yeah, concur with J4L, if Ibaka, Durant, etc couldn't do anything (worse! they couldn't avoid fouling), then there is no "good" matchup for us. That said. Game time hooah. Worried that the Heat are going to try and punch us in the mouth and we'll be game 4'd v atlanta. But I think this Bulls team knows what's at stake.

I think the impasse here is that balta isn't saying democrats are saints and republicans are cheaters, it's to once again point out how the party that tries to legislate "family values" consistently is found doing things not considered to be keeping up with those values.

milkman just got facial'd
