Wait, since when is the manager the guy who signs the paychecks of the coaches? Such a strange viewpoint, the delusion on here is astronomical.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 10:33 PM) Why? That would seemingly make the least sense of any pick the Bulls could possibly make. Id rather have Ezeli than Sullinger. Sullinger reminds me of Boozer, and the last thing the Bulls need is 2 of them. $$$$$

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) Roto has the Bulls taking Draymond Green. http://www.rotoworld.com/slide/nba/238/2012-NBA-Draft That would be extremely puzzeling. I think Sullinger falls to them and they grab him. He wasnt even invited to the draft.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 01:03 PM) I'd love for that to happen, but I just don't see it. Google doesn't have the man-power to support every device out there. The only way would be for them to work with the manufacturers and I imagine they wouldn't be too thrilled about something like that. Well, they bought motorola's mobility dept so I believe they have that vision at some point. A tighter integration between software and hardware would be beneficial to their customers.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) I watch the NBA because NCAA is over and so is football. Something has to fill that sports hole. Rondo averaged more min per game than Rose as well.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) Really? Here is a post January 6, where I am commenting on the Miami Heat v Atlanta Hawks game I watched the night before. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=320105001 You can disagree with me on Thibs, but to just flat out lie to try and prove your point is a little sad. Aw it's sad? You've actually made that statement yourself, so maybe you were just talking out of your ass that particular time. And that doesn't prove the point, it was an unrelated statement possibly giving you a free pass for that viewpoint. Second, the actual point which you ignored, since Thibs plays his stars so much more than others to win in the regular season, how come LeBron played more min per game during the regular season than Rose? How come Westbrook averaged the same min per game? Thibs is the best defensive coach in the league, and his arrival turned the Bulls into a defensive juggernaut.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) I meant more wins in the playoffs, when you dont get to play bad teams. I should have been more clear. Thibs wins games in the regular season because he leaves his starters in until the bitter end and basically takes very little risk with resting them. That doesnt really make him a great coach, it just means he is willing to risk player health for a few regular season wins. WTF? He adds wins because he's installed the best defense in the league. WITH rose they won a s***load of games in the playoffs and the regular season. You are acting like he's the only coach who tries to win every game which is 100% false. You didn't even start to watch the NBA until the NCAA season was over.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) Aside from being outspoken, Ozzie Guillen is well respected throughout baseball. Who is on all the TV shows during the postseason? Ozzie Guillen is one of the top five managers in baseball. WTF? So only well respected people are on TV show? You are DELUSIONAL. Did the players "throughout baseball" just vote for Ozzie for something related to his managerial skills, what was that poll?

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 04:19 PM) Other than bodyweight exercises (pushups, pullups, etc), what is the cheapest way to start doing some strength training? Can I buy a barbell+weights and do things like squats and lifts without having something like a power rack (assuming I am extremely conservative about how much weight I use)? Yes you could, but you will still want to do those bodyweight exercises. Also kettlebells are very versatile.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) And Magic had Kareem and Riley, so he's not a top 5 either. Hakeem is the GOAT if we want to start playing the whole "hsd great coach/teammates" thing. He had clyde didnt he?

Just saw an article stating the the UNC football fraud scandal probably involved their bball team as well.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 02:47 PM) Gordon + Anthony Davis + 10th pick + good financial standing. Pretty good shape for that franchise, obviously a lot of work/development to be done but thats a nice start. They'll probably do something stupid like sign Harden to a max contract.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 01:29 PM) There's no doubt in my mind that last year's terrible and unlikable team has had an impact on the fan base. If the Sox can stay in contention all year, it would really help the excitement surrounding the organization. Yup, couple that with a terribly unlikeable manager and drama centered around him, and the fans are put off. I know why I dumped my season tickets.

Did Greg seriously just support a manager who does nothing? I prefer my coaches to actually do their job, but whatever, Ozzie is the man right? Delusion at its finest.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) Lyles is top 10 in 2014 (from all indications moving on up, likely top 5), which is considered to be one of the best classes in the past 10 years. 2012 was a "down" year nationally. Harris is the best player coming out of Indiana this year, but Lyles is the "best player" in Indiana. He's averaged a double double all since he stepped foot at Tech his freshman year, without even half the help Harris had at HSE (Irvin- who some consider the best 2013 in Indiana is heading to UM and Bledsoe who is mid major D1 point guard). He plays like Carmelo in that tape, at 16.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 20, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) If he is acquitted the federal government will step in and correct the situation. Yup, they have him flying over state lines for rape. If the PSU jury finds his innocent they will finally be confirmed as the laughing stock of the country.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 10:15 PM) Harris is a great player. Would have loved him at IU. Harris is ranked from 10-25 on scouting sites, probably around #20 seems right. D. Thomas was more impressive in HS than Harris. He's not a sure fire one and done like Oden/Gordon/Lyles are. Trey will be at IU for one year. No chance he comes back. He would have gotten minutes for IU last year. You probably know more than me, but Harris is still the best player in Indiana coming out this year, its a tall order saying a 2014 guy is better than him already, especially when said player is not a consensus overall top guy in the country like someone like Oden was.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 11:57 AM) Easily the best prospect out of Indiana since Oden/Gordon. Unreal skill at his age. Athleticism is coming along very quickly too. If he was eligible for Mr. Basketball this year, he would have won it. Better than Harris huh? Thats saying alot.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 06:25 PM) Or he is under sized for an NBA forward with no left hand. Since when is 6'9" 268 pounds undersized? That is about as accurate as your no left hand comment. In the NBA power forwards average from about 6'8" to 7' and about 240 to 260 pounds. Not all of them shoot 45% from 3pt in college with a mature post up game. But once again, if there is any red flag its his hips/legs. The guy walks like a duck.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 05:48 PM) Since he's not actually in the NBA yet, I'll post it here http://espn.go.com/nba/draft2012/story/_/i...ger-sources-say Pfff they red flagged that and not the fact he has two different sized legs?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 04:49 PM) No s***. But we were talking about guys when they were in high school. It was a joke, the guy changed his name so people would forget how crappy he was. He would have jumped straight to the NBA if he couldve, he came from a trailer park basically. Waste of a recruit, you too kosta koufos

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 10:10 AM) That has to be the best job in sports. But a really terrifying job if you screw up a key snap (like that dude on the Giants a few years ago in the playoffs. Against the Pats, I think). Backup QB isnt bad, everyone loves you and when you suck they pretty much realize it was expected since you were the backup.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 04:26 PM) Let's acquire BJ Mullens, then. Thats Byron Mullens

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) That sounds like a plan man...where can I fit in some sledgehammer work?? Last summer I would just flip from one side of the yard to the other, one side has a tree i prop it up on to swing across the body, and the other side I swung over the top..Oh and right now I have another solid tire wedged into the tractor tire for even more added weight so jumping in the middle wont happen. Really need to find a buddy with a truck so I can go grab another one....Jake right now I'd say I'm perhaps well below the 3500 cal mark you set but the protein intake is no where where it should be. Right now I'm in a single income 3 person household so a good high cal meal hasnt been seen since Ive been out of work...Raisin Bran, oatmeal, or eggs for breakfast...a sandwich, ramen, or leftovers for lunch...A lot of chicken based dinners, or slow cooked meat that will last us 2 days.....My metabolism is for s*** You can switch out some of the jumping for some overhand sledge work, say 10 swings right handed and 10 lefthanded.
