I'm now 2 and 6 with the 3rd most points in the league. Even with my high point total, it was my stubbornness to not bench Tom Brady that was my downfall. Time to sell. ?

Been starting to rewatch Lost, the first few seasons are so damn good.

My predictions: 1. Bulls 2. Heat 3. Pacers 4. Nets 5. Knicks 6. Wizards 7. Cavs 8. Pistons Bulls over Pistons Heat over Cavs Pacers over Wizards Nets over Knicks Bulls over Nets Heat over Pacers Bulls over Heat 1. Thunder 2. Clippers 3. Rockets 4. Spurs 5. Warriors 6. Hornets 7. Grizzlies 8. Wolves Thunder over Wolves Clippers over Grizzlies Rockets over Hornets Spurs over Warriors Thunder over Spurs Rockets over Clippers Thunder over Rockets Bulls over Thunder

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 12:27 PM) No, you're right...they are aware of this. When they lost to Dallas a few years ago, they opened up against the Mavs and their ring ceremony and waxed them. But it's not as easy as just "knowing it." The ring ceremony elicits certain emotions that probably aren't particularly conducive to playing a team which really wants to kick your ass. I guess we'll find out. Ya I heard Bosh talk about that. Like I said, I tend to over think things, hopefully you're right.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 12:10 PM) It just seems like trophy ceremonies always work against the defending champs. QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 12:16 PM) This was my thinking...that, and this being such an important game for the Bulls...I think we're going to be more up for this one than Miami. You guys are both right and I feel that Miami has heard that as well and this is going to somehow end up working against the Bulls. I tend to over think things.

So speaking of Mr. Buckets, I'm actually very excited to see the strides he can make this year. He improved so damn much between year 1 and 2 that there's no reason for me to believe that he can't take another big step forward, especially with Derrick back.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 11:47 AM) Guys. Let's focus on and live in the now. Bulls @ Heat tonight. #TheReturn will be official. Will the Champs be distracted by their rings? Will D-Rose get nasty? Who ya got? I have Bulls by 5 with Derrick having a pretty rough night from the floor but making up for it by getting to the line and hitting a couple threes. I see Taj as having a nice game, too. I've always had such a hard time betting on a single NBA regular season game but I'll say Miami wins by 5-7 tonight, hopefully I'm a liar.

Kyyle, the Hogan rumors are back!!!!!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 11:19 AM) LOL. I absolutely did NOT forget Detroit. That team will struggle to score points. Honestly, who is going to score points? They'll get some work around the basket, but no one on that team can shoot. Josh Smith might shoot 35% with the looks he's been jacking up. I have zero thought that Detroit will be any good this season. They won't be but the 6-8 seeds aren't going to have to be very good.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 10:58 AM) Oh my goodness gracious. You know what, Butler better average at least 15 ppg on good efficiency and make an all-defensive team for all this ridiculous hype. It's not ridiculous hype when people are saying he's a huge upgrade over Keith f***in Bogans, that's literally all anyone has said. This is the first time since LeBron has been in Miami that the Bulls have had a real NBA backcourt, that's going to make a huge difference.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 10:50 AM) I am in the minority I know, but I think the Nets will be an old, disjointed, injury riddled s*** sandwich. Like D'Antoni Knicks type s*** sandwich. I don't think they're going to be that bad, I basically think they're a few steps below the top 3 but about a billion steps ahead of the rest of the east. That being said, I'd be absolutely shocked if they can beat the Bulls, Heat or Pacers in the playoffs.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 11:14 PM) No idea why caroll wasn't using time outs once it got to first and goal. Ha I was yelling at my tv, coaches are so damn clueless at times.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 10:12 PM) How's the dating, pick-up scene in college these days? Are the women easy to pick-up if that's your thing? Or are we in a generation of more responsible behavior, i.e., not as much sex? I've been out of school for 3 years but if you're not getting laid, you're not trying.

Really random way to bring Punk and Bryan together but I'm intrigued.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 07:47 PM) It doesn't bother me anymore. There is always a golden child, in every generation. He became it. Kids love him, he loves what he does. It is what it is I don't care about him winning, he's one of the best overall guys on the roster and he makes them money but having the first 2 storylines he's involved in both be about overcoming the odds is just played out. Like you said though, it is what it is and isn't changing any time soon.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 07:32 PM) Cena and Sandow are having an awesome MITB cash in match. I fully expect Soxfest to hate it Very good match but the further push of the Super Cena stuff is very annoying.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) You can take the kid out of college but you can't take the college out of the kid. Correct.

It's nice not being broke but I'd give anything to go back to college.

Moving on up.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 02:18 PM) The SEC wouldn't have the pull to jump over FSU or Oregon but there might be enough pull to jump OSU. I would suspect that OSU would get in but I could see people pushing for Alabama. Ya I actually think a 1 loss Bama team would jump OSU. That being said, I don't really see Bama losing this year until the championship if FSU or Oregon gets there as well.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 07:16 AM) Shawn isn't wrestling outside of Mania, if that. Give me 3 survivor series matches! They have the roster and feuds to go it. Ya I don't think HBK is ever going to wrestle again though I would sure love him to and him vs. Bryan at mania would be amazing

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 08:33 AM) I just remember how hot that team was out of the gate and by like early June, it seemed like they'd expended too much energy. Frank came back and hit like 12 homers in a month's worth of games and kick started that team. How has no one mentioned Rally Crede yet? That was the most excited and intense I have ever been for one of the first 162 games in my life. I mentioned it in the original post, assface.

Lo f***in L
