QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 05:12 AM) I don't really get your point. As recently as this weekend Wade and Bosh to Chicago was "imminent". Things change constantly because no one has any real info until things actually happen (which was the case this morning). you don't get the point that we are in the last 24 hours and are dealing with a decision probably shared with dozens and stuff leaks?

I'm just saying, after last night it wouldn't surprise me.

nothin like a run through of castro-vizquel-kotsay to make a pitcher feel good.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 06:08 AM) I would think that after 260 pages you would all know better by now. By 10 AM someone else will say that he's a lock for the Knicks, then by 2 PM someone will say he's definitely going to by Miami, then by 4 we'll get some other report that he's smoking a blunt with Rose and Noah on the south side. Then after the announcement everyone will pick some random comment they made at some point over the next three weeks and claim that they knew all along. yes, i thought that last night and then woke up to find wade and bosh in miami.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 05:06 AM) Why the hell aren't we bunting. seriously, if there was ever a time, ozzie.

did you mean "2 birds" to mean injure the umpire and catcher on one pitch?

yeah paulie, get some insurance runs.

Or, considering this is the second night in a row this s*** comes out at like 1 am...they have to wait for bron to go to bed and then start chattin with all their friends.

Alex with a terrible read. 2 outs. Fat man up.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 05:53 AM) How the f*** can anyone respect Kobe? He works hard, he's won with two completely different looking teams. He shoots too much, but so what. Hasn't really affected their success.

absolutely. I really respect kobe and what the lakers org has done post shaq.

santos trying to kill the angels.

throw strikes.

sweeney, all the way back to 2007. I believe people mentioned this swing similarity after the first video we had of him batting.

why did i write that before alex was done batting?

I really like the Alex's back-to-back currently.

Big news: " The Sky signed 6-4 free agent forward/center Christi Thomas on Wednesday. "With Christi Thomas we will add depth and size to our front court plus invaluable WNBA experience to our team," said Sky coach/GM Steven Key. "

again, compare Rose's freshman year assist total to Deron Williams. I don't ever think Rose will ever be as complete a PG as Williams but I really think you guys aren't being fair to him in terms of development and comparisons.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 12:17 AM) Derrick wasn't right up there with LeBron. LeBron shot 57%, 54% from 3 and averaged 32, 9 rbs, and 8 assists. Rose had a very good series averaging 27 and 7 while shooting 45% but that isn't right up there with LeBron. He wasn't the dominant player in that series though because his turnover rate was so incredibly high. Rose is a very good player and he will be a great one but he isn't at Williams level yet and I'm not sure comparing them will ever make a ton of sense since they are such different players. Rose is a better scorer than Williams was in his 2nd year in the league but even then Deron was a much better distributor than Rose. deron also had 4 years in college to Rose's 1. The only point I'm trying to make in all this is this line of thought that Boozer will be a 10 ppg player without Williams isn't realistic compared to Boozers career line or the dropoff from williams to Rose. If this was Khalid El Amin you may have a point.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 12:15 AM) I was just going to add something like that, but you beat me to it. Rose still hasnt had anyone he can really lean on to distribute to. The closest he's had in his career is probably Gordon when Rose was a rookie. With someone like Boozer and possibly an actual shooter, I see his assist numbers taking a nice jump. And, again, I'll add, Boozer had pretty good offensive numbers before Williams. It's not like he went from a 5 ppg guy to a 20 ppg guy overnight.

i don't think anyone will actually care that it was chicago because of rivalry. That was really only a rivalry because both cities had good teams. And greg, how do we overestimate the bulls talent. Also, he won't make more money in cleveland. No one makes more money in cleveland.
