QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) why is it his fault? he made the system more difficult for these types of things to happen. how do you figure?

if we had the pitching numbers we had in june for april/may, i'm pretty sure we'd have 2005's record. /end obvious statement of the year.

everyone in missouri when i lived there thought hawk was awesome. Haterz gonna hate.

it's disgusting. kill yourself david stern.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) And look at the guys that were on those teams. The Celtics had Garnett, one of the best defensive players of the last 15 years, the Knicks had guys like Ewing, Oakley, Camby and Kurt Thomas, all of whom were damn good interior defenders (not to mention the Knicks led the league in defensive efficiency the 3 years before he got there), and the Rockets had Yao, who is in the top-10 in active career defensive rating and around the top-30 in defensive win shares even with all of the injuries (admittedly the Rockets work is a bit more impressive). There's no question he'll help, but you need more than just Noah to be an elite defensive team. so you can list one person on other teams as the sole reason that team was good on defense, but then you list one person on the bulls team (who is a great defender) and qualify it saying that's not enough. Maybe in Thibs years working with great defenders, he learned how to get the most of that talent. Because frankly, there is more to the celts great d than garnett.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) I really think Redick is actually on the upswing. He'll be a real nice asset, imo. Does he make us a championship team, no, but he makes us better and gives us an even better shot at being a top 3/4 team in the East. Dan bernstein was reading the vegas odds on the bulls on friday and they were shockingly good. It sucks that adding a 20/10 player and 2 sharp shooters to your team still feels so empty. F the NBA

400 is a hell of a drug

I think another edition of: why the heat will be awesome is that teams with great players tend to make pretty avg. players look much better than they are. Pretty much every guy in the NBA can just hit a shot unguarded. What makes these players so special is their ability to hit extraordinary shots with dudes bumping and putting their hands in their face. But when you have 3 great scorers on the floor at the same time, you are going to get a lot of great looks because teams just can't focus you.

eh, Deron was way better, dee just drove to the hoop a lot more.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) Not too mention he is a really similar player to Korver, I dont see the point of having both. we need guards, and considering most all of our good offense is only good within 15 ft, getting great shooters is worth the cash.

welcome to keith law. However, I have looked at our lineup many times and said "how the hell has this team won (insert # of wins) out of (insert #of games played)"

i won't take this fantastic fit for our team because you went to a college I don't like.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Some of you have been around longer than I, but I can't ever recall a Sox season where they turned it around so quickly--and to do it, get into first, on the eve of the ASB is just poetic. Just last month I was complaining here that we never seem to ever put any STREAKS together, the past few years. Done, and done. If we can get through the Twins/California road trip with a winning record, I think people should be scared of us. In 2001 we had a streak in june where we went 22-7 to fight back to above .500 but then just kind of hung around .500 while the twins had their coming out party. That said, our pitching is much better than in 2001. Such a weak rotation except for buerhle's awesome rookie season.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) i just want us all to take a moment and look at this statement. unbelievable. if I said that last year my entire family would have been ashamed.

god, do you guys watch the NBA? The only time there have been upsets in the playoffs was when there was 5-game series, and they removed them specifically for that reason. Yes the bulls have a good team, but in any other sport that would mean they could make the championship. But not in basketball. The heat with 3 superstars and a bunch of scrubs will be unreal good. This is way better than ray allen and garnett a bit past their primes. They are all in their prime. You don't need a deep bunch when you have three players that will play 35-40 mins. per game. It's over.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:27 AM) Delonte West is the first picture on the Cavs site right now. ohhh, stupid slideshow

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:26 AM) That's not true. If Bron wins 10 titles he will be regarded as the greatest player of all-time. Coming straight from HS, his numbers will likely trump Jordan. And you can bet that going to Miami will be spun as Lebron wanting to win more than anything, being unselfish. ESPN will want the greatest player ever to be playing now, so they can cover him. You need to get ready for it happen -- and honestly Lebron might be more talented than Jordan. I happen to like Jordan more, but who knows. dude, no. Jordan is the best because a lot more than stats or rings. It's the way he played the game. Few people consider emmitt smith the greatest RB ever.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:24 AM) So wait a f***ing minute, this means the Heat can't sign Mike Miller now, right? haha awesome. I'd love me some millz

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:20 AM) Awesome. Even the Cavs are making fun of him for his mom getting f***ed. what am i missing.

Also, i'm convinced the nba needs to do away with a max salary. It's f***ing dumb that an expiring contract is worth so much more than a player now. a cap is enough. A small amount of players make a s*** ton of revenue for the teams, make a high cap, let big salaries exist, but within a teams cap. This is too much. System is stupid.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:18 AM) Except the whole "rapist" thing come on man, after the duke thing, the overzealous prosecutor is something that is real.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:16 AM) It's funny that we're going to see fans of literally every team in the NBA unite as one against the Heat. I can't believe I'm feeling for Cavs fans right now. Imagine MJ bolting at 25 to go coattail Magic and Worthy? Seriously, and they have to wait to suck next year to get a good draft pick. At least detroit has some winning teams. f***in cleveland man. oh well, we got the bhawks and sox. Lets f*** up those leagues. As if the NBA didn't do enough to cater to superstars, now they have to put them all on the same team.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:13 AM) I've always liked Kobe actually. Despite his blatant obsession with Jordan (down to every freaking mannerism), one thing it has taught him is how to act with class and like a gentleman. This is all the more apparent now. I started liking kobe when shaq left, fwiw. I liked that he went out on his own, and i like that the lakers management got him what he needed. I hated lebron in the playoffs, i don't like how he plays like he knows people are watching. But i would have cheered the s*** out of him here. All I want is my city to win, not the cubs, but my city. I like Drose, i love noah (hated him at florida), and i like boozer. but now, I need a mizzou player here to watch the bulls every night. I love me some kim english.

Dick, the bulls have the highest attendance in the league, they'll still find people to watch.

f***. Never watching the NBA again.
