I'd love for Memphis to win this series but Durant is ridiculous. Really hard to root against him.

Jesus.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 5, 2013 -> 11:15 AM) I don't know what it takes to be an explosive PG in the NBA. I'm assuming nobody else here does either. If he needs a preseason to get to that point, I'm all for him sitting out. Bulls aren't beating Miami with or without him. People want to say he is being paid all that money this year for nothing. WHat about future investments? I just can't lose respect for a guy who was the youngest MVP in NBA history for us and took this team to the ESCF and back to back #1 seeds. I've never come back from a torn ACL, so I just can't criticize someone for not playing when I don't know what they are going through. I understand other peoples problems with him not playing. I wish he came back with about 5 games left in the regular season and got going before the playoffs. I just think it could be counter productive if he comes back now in the middle of a high intensity playoff series. That's the thing though, he needs to play to get back to that point. Sitting out is doing absolutely nothing for him, it's just delaying the rehab process. This is a 9 month injury and we're over a year now and he's been cleared for 3 months to play, it's crazy that he's not.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 5, 2013 -> 09:09 AM) ss2k5 is going to be surprised when he opens his Sunday paper this morning. He watched it, who am I kidding. I feel like you've posted more in the nba thread the last week than you have the rest of your 10 years here combined.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 4, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) Can't wait to hear you all boo him next year. Or maybe we can get rid of him so all you are satisfied? Oh please. He's the best player on my favorite team, I will cheer my ass off for him next season. That being said, I have lost all respect for the guy. What he's doing this year is absolutely ridiculous. I seriously don't see how anybody can defend him anymore. Still, it'd be insanely dumb to trade the guy and anybody saying we're better off with out him is crazy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2013 -> 11:57 AM) They have no chance, due in a large part to their franchise cornerstone thinking the game isn't important enough for him to play in. If it isn't important enough to Rose who is making $20 million a year to play basketball, it isn't important enough to me who gets nothing out of it. They absolutely have a shot. You're taking a pretty ridiculous stance on this Bulls team. The guys actually playing deserve as much support as any Bulls team in any of our life times. EDIT: On a side note, I just realized that my avi was still Derrick. Ya, not anymore.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 4, 2013 -> 11:22 AM) It's because he has the talent to be so much better than he has been...and he just comes off as so aloof...it's not that much unlike Rios has been in his career...you see this guy who could be one of the better players in the League, and that shows flashes of it, but then other times struggles so mightily, and yet doesn't really seem to be upset about that himself. That sort of player is just difficult to observe and difficult to watch struggle. Ya, I didn't express that too well. I understand why people have an issue with him but he doesn't deserve as much crap as he has received.

Ya I'm not really sure why Gavin got so much s*** around here. Dude has been a very solid pitcher since we got him. Definitely time to move on but I wish him the best.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2013 -> 07:03 AM) I couldn't even watch this game yesterday. I might not watch game 7 either depending on what we can send out there. Heck if Rose can't play, why should I watch? Because it's game 7 of a playoff series?

QUOTE (Brian @ May 2, 2013 -> 09:59 PM) It's not happening. Everyone needs to get over it and move on. The player on the floor have. We all know that but that door is still open so you just want to hope. I obviously want Derrick to come back but right now these guys on the court deserve so much respect while Rose deserves a complete loss of it.

How can one not be a fan of Stephen Curry?

Anyone else think that Geno Smith looks exactly like Juan Pierre?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 10:18 AM) Will Jordan give him permission to come back? This is fantastic. Well played.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 27, 2013 -> 05:09 PM) Derrick who? Rose. Great basketball player, kind of a p**** though. Glad I could help.

NAZZZZZZRRRR

lolololololol

What a joke.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2013 -> 04:56 PM) Man if that wasn't called on Evans I was gonna be pissed. When Funk said it was on Deng, I went crazy for a second.

Nate Robinson still on the court a lot

Bye Jo

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 27, 2013 -> 04:44 PM) This game may end with an astronaut on the court Ha, that was funny.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2013 -> 04:39 PM) I saw a foul before the shot went up but not on the rebound He hooked his head.

The Taj one was a foul

I just wanna give Jo a big hug.

That's off Booze
