QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 11:23 AM) You can take the kid out of the college, but can't take the college out of the kid. I can only imagine what you were saying... Nothing bad, just some good ol' fashioned heckling. He missed the first of two ft's that could have tied the game up at the end, when the coach pulled him I just yelled to him in a sarcastic tone "It's ok 32, you tried your best and that's all Jesus can ask of you" he shielded away from his coaches and flipped me off. I laughed. We were obnoxious of course but not in a violent, stupid way. We were right next to the Loyola bench(which includes Bryan Mullins as a coach) and we had those guys laughing the whole time. With there being so little people there you can really interact with the players because they can hear everything you say and it made for a really good time.

Brian, how dare you not tell people about my 15 seconds of fame tonight! Happy that we won a Valley road game and I got flipped off by a Loyola player at the end too which was nice. That game was much more fun than it should have been.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 10:49 PM) After watching the Michigan State game tonight, I still can't believe they turned D. Bryan heel. He's officially over in mainstream sports now, that's a Vince wet dream. As a big college bball and wrestling fan that was extremely cool.

Um wow.

Ok Aaron Craft. That was sweet.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) Other than the horrible feed that game was awesome. Lots of athleticism on that court. That feed was rough.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Phoneix just looked absolutely terrible. Bulls up 5 with 37 seconds to go and the Bulls on the line. Snell looked really good again today. Bad Tank loss. But ya Snell has looked good when given minutes.

Haha awesome celebration MSU!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 06:17 PM) Bring back team tank captain Teague! I'd give give him away and I'd also look into trading Dunleavy. Dunleavy would actually make sense for some contender out there you'd think.

Zebra. Do I get the points, Sqwert?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 10:10 AM) We got no worthwhile picks and saved some money this year. I realize the tankers are going to like it and if we end up with a great pick (by virtue of making the lottery), I suppose it works. But we clear Deng's money irregardless at year end and it is likely that we are getting 3 2nd round picks (plus the right to swap non-lottery picks with the Cavs in 2015). I'd have to think we could have at least gotten a legitimate future 1st for Deng. At this point, if we are truly tanking, we might as well amnesty boozer now. Is Noah going to get dealt? You would have to assume they went through all their offers and this one made the most sense. Hanging on to Lu just makes no sense.

Poor Ziggler. Ryback can definitely go as far as I'm concerned.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 09:26 AM) If the Bulls could clear Noah or Gibson off in exchange for an expiring, perhaps even while adding a draft pick somewhere, and put themselves in a position to offer a max deal while also signing Mirotic this offseason, and they hired our lord and savior Jesus Christ as their athletic trainer and had him rub DRose's knees up after every game, that "a while" could turn around really fast. It's the NBA, a while is one draft pick away especially if Derrick isn't completely broken.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 07:05 AM) I'm back at work today. Schools are all still closed. Yesterday at 6am temperature was +3 with wind chill of -25. Today at 6am temperature was -3 with wind chill of -19. Still not certain what made yesterday too cold to come to work but today not too cold. At least it should start getting a tad warmer today. But ya, it's still insane out there. The door to our apt was legit frozen shut this morning

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 12:46 AM) Well, this will definitely help our chances of getting into the lottery. By far the most important aspect of this imo.

Deng also apparently turned down a 3 for 30 extension deal last week.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 12:22 AM) So...can we all take back the ridicule towards the FO for not making a deal? There was a lot of premature criticism up in here and the Bulls did a great job of not revealing their plan and not making a deal without getting what they were looking for, which is talent over savings. In the end, we got both. Great. All that for a freaking expiring contract. People tend to freak out. Like you did, I like to play the wait and see game but the Bulls front office has definitely earned their rep of sitting on their hands. This is a great deal. Well done.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 12:09 AM) This is pretty much exactly what we would have wanted. Getting a first round pick, especially one that could potentially be rather high, is a great deal for Deng, who no longer had any value for us. And this really helps in making this team suck. Love it.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 12:06 AM) It was one of those oh, here's an obvious fake situation, so obvious you know auburns ready for it and will stop it, so I was surprised they actually did, and then more so that it worked. Ha, this sums it up really well.

This is a great trade.

Get Bynum and a future 1st.

Dan Gilbert confirms.

Kinda want to ask Jameis why god hates Auburn so much.

This game is too much.
