I've been absolutely exhausted since about 2 o'clock this afternoon and haven't been able to sleep for even a little bit. Life sucks.

I got a few questions since I have the dvds but not everything that goes a long with them(nutrition guide, etc). Which dvd do I start out with and what's the whole order supposed to be like? Which week am I supposed to take my rest week? And am I supposed to be doing this 6 days a week or what? Obviously, I know I don't have to follow those things 100 percent but I'd like to try as hard as possible, at least to begin with. Thanks in advance.

NBA Offseason Thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) The other thing that not having a post game does is it takes away a potential advantage that he could exploit right now. There isn't a small forward in the league that he isn't stronger than, and there isn't a power forward/C in the league he's not faster than down low. Paul Pierce didn't do jack squat the entire Cleveland series even when Lebron had bad games, because he was either exhausted or on the bench in foul trouble. There's no good reason why he couldn't have done the exact same thing to Garnett down low and put their entire front line on the bench. And, if you can draw the defense down low, you open out the outside for your other slashers/shooters even more. Everything you said, he does with his dribble penetration anyways. I've always believed that he should take less jump shots because of his physical attributes to get to the hole but he really doesn't need to develop a post game at all, it's not a big deal at this point.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) Yes, he does. He really doesn't, if you think he's going to need to develop one for the later part of his career, fine, I can buy that but I'll worry about that when he loses some athleticism which will be a while. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) I disagree that he doesn't need one. Jordan and Kobe perfected it because eventually the legs give out and you can't just beat guys off the dribble. He should be working on that skill now so in 5-6 years he'll be ready for it. Right now his game is simply to shoot long jump shots, threes, and drive the basketball. That's fine, and clearly it works well for him, but he could be THAT much better if he developed an all around game. But that's exactly the problem. Whereas guys like Jordan and Kobe wanted to be the best at everything, always, Lebron seems to be satisfied with settling a bit. And I know he puts up impressive stats, but so did guys like Iverson, and I never considered him the best or second best player in the game. Just to be clear, I'm not saying Lebron is awful. He's cleary one of the handful of great, great players in the league. But his athleticism is what makes him that way, not his pure basketball talent. Iverson's number were never any where near what Lebron was doing. Yes, Iverson could obviously score with anyone in the game but the rest of his game(including defensive impact) were not even in Lebrons league. As for the bolded part, I'm not going to argue that, but who the hell cares?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 09:38 AM) No way. Kobe is clearly the best player in the league, and I dunno that it's really that close of a discussion. Look, fact is I'd love to have LeBron if for no other reason than the other team is forced to pay tons of attention to him so guys like Rose and Noah can do their thing. He's also getting the superstar treatment, which allows him to drive the lane and get to the line 9 times out of 10. But I don't think he's anywhere near as good as people make him out to be. As you say the lack of ANY post game is ridiculous for a guy with his size and speed. And he's been in the league for what, 6 years now? He's not going to be the next Jordan, nor will he ever be the next Jordan. I think that ship has already sailed. Kobe is the only other person close enough to do that. I'd still love him on the Bulls though. He lacks a post game because he just doesn't need one. Would you like him to average 40 and 15 or something? Dude's numbers are absolutely insane and statistically he is far and away the best player in this league. I agree that he'll never be Jordan(no one ever will) but to say he's no where near as good as people make him out to be is absolutely crazy. And remember, I hate that asshole at the moment but I'll learn to love him if he becomes a Bull because we'd win multiple championships, easily.

Nats likely to take Harper with No. 1 pick
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) If you're gonna suck, it's better to REALLY suck. Indeed. If you have to build up a franchise, aren't too many better starting blocks than Harper and Strasburg.

The 'pen has been spectacular
I expect the pen to be solid all year long. I'm sure Linebrink will have a dip in production in the 2nd half per usual but besides him and Randy Williams everyone else in the pen should be real good all year imo.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 11:58 PM) In other upset news.. Capitals lost today to the Canadians. Vancouver unfortunately won against the Kings, though that was a great game. Buffalo also won. Miller was amazing as usual. Can't decide whether to root for Buffalo or not. Ryan Miller instantly became one of my favorite athletes in any sport during the olympics but at the same time I'd rather the Hawks not have to face him if we get to the Stanley Cup finals.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 12:53 PM) So you're saying Oden isn't good because of injury? And that if he never suffered injuries in the NBA, he'd be better than Kevin Durant? I'm saying that Oden would be a game changer right now if he didn't keep getting injured. He was turning into one hell of a player before he got hurt once again this season. Would he be better than Durant? Hell no but he certainly would be one hell of a valuable asset and would have Portland as one heck of a dangerous team in the playoffs.

Those results couldn't have been better last night. Obviously it's only 1 game but it'd be nice if all those series finish with the same result as game 1.

Official 2009-2010 NBA Thread
QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 08:48 PM) I can't believe people would be rooting against the Bulls. If we miss the playoffs and don't get a top pick, MIL swaps with us and we're a f***ed non-playoff team with the 18th pick. If we DO win the lottery, and get any of the top 3 picks, we lose our ability to sign a max free agent in the offseason, first and foremost. 2nd, you're forced to pick Wall if you have the top pick and then you have to make it work with him and Rose. And IMO, Wall is pretty overrated anyway. I think Turner is the best player in this draft. See: Oden, Durant. Third, we made the playoffs and now we have the opportunity for Rose, Noah, Gibson, and others get valuable playoff experience. We saw Rose take it to another level last year in the playoffs. He's not guided this team to the playoffs in both his first 2 seasons. Do I expect to beat Cleveland? Not at all. Do I expect us to put up a fight? Of course. There is no possible way the Bulls MISSING the playoffs helps the team. Wall isn't overrated as a NBA prospect neither was/is Oden, now if you're going to predict a Wall injury than that's fine but otherwise he's the best prospect in this draft. Don't get me wrong, I love Evan Turner and think he's going to be quite the NBA player but he'd be 3rd on my personal draft board behind Wall and Cousins, he's just not as good a prospect as either of those guys. Anyways, I agree with the rest of your post though, like I said earlier, this Bulls team is fighting for the 5th spot if Noah didn't miss that month and that's not even including the other injuries. I agree with Brian, I see us losing in 6 and wouldn't be surprised if we take it to 7. We're not going to win it but it will be a good series and there's no way in hell we get swept.
