QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 05:05 PM) Totally ignoring the Rose-Paul bulls*** again so I can post an observation: Boozer appears to suck badly, especially at finishing around the rim, because he was MUCH more efficient on the pick and roll in Utah with D-Will feeding him. So here, he's always fumbling the ball, or it seems like he's going up weak and getting punked but that's not really on him, it's on Rose. Rose is always about a second late getting him the ball, he'll see Boozer in the post and feed him the ball, but by the time it's down there Boozer's lost his advantage. In Utah the plays were by design, but in Chicago it looks like a reaction from Rose as a kind of fallback when he can't penetrate. Same for Noah, actually, but not as pronounced since Noah's not really a go-to option. This isn't really because it's something Rose can't do, it's more because Boozer missed so much time to start the year, and they didn't play together in camp because of Boozer's broken wrist. It's something they'll have to work on in the offseason regardless of how far they make it in the playoffs. I think there might be something off with Boozer... earlier in the season (and especially during Noah's injury) he was scoring at a fine pace. He seems almost useless lately.

This is dumb. The weather has been abnormally atrocious for baseball, while the Indians have had 3 home games since their opening week surprise... not much of a sample size there.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) . Myself, J4L and few others have proven through stats and advanced stats that Chris Paul is the better player. This isn't baseball, chief.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) You don't want to see what happens w/ Nancy now that it's all out in the open and with the police? That show went to s***.

I think what I'm saying is J4L needs his head examined to prefer CP3 to Rose after his clear overreaction to one playoff game. I'm so offended by the idiocy of his stance that I question his utter existence.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 10:06 AM) Laurence Holmes, especially the peoples hour. Then B&B. It's just captivating. Danny Mac is next. Then Waddle & Silvy. I only use ESPN 1000 for Bulls games. I am so rarely near a radio when Law Holmes is on... his timeslot is veal. I love him whenever he is on, he might be the best. I still can't believe how swiftly they paired him with an 85 Bear and ruined his 11 o clock show a couple years back. Law Holmes 4 Prez.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) 1. B&B (I enjoy the humor and if you can get past the name-calling, they actually know what they are talking about usually) 2. Waddle & Silvy (Work well together and entertaining) 3. Mully & Hanley (Occasionally funny, somewhat boring, but very informative nontheless) 4. Carmen, Jurko, & Harry (Try too hard to be funny sometimes, not a good mix) 5. Danny Mac Show (I've gotten sick of Mac, just gotten too big and too full of himself IMO. Always about what he's doing or who he knows) my list is identical to this.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) What about prior to this year? Wade and LeBron from an efficiency standpoint have had multiple years that rival Jordan. Dude, what is your point here? You are making no sense.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) Wait, so you mean he's not the perfect player? That he is lacking in certain areas? Well good god damn. And I'm not being condescending towards you, Q. You and lostfan off the top of my head are pretty sound when it comes to Rose. It's a shame. I feel like a Rose hater when I'm not. no one said he's perfect. He is, however, the most valuable player in the NBA.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) Then ignore my posts, I find it funny. And its a LARGE portion of their board, which is why its even funnier. Have you visited Pale Hose Talk recently? It's unbearable... and similar.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 11:08 AM) Because its funny and Canucks fans are stupid. There are plenty of stupid Blackhawks fans. Picking some dumb posts by idiots on another board is pointless and does not represent their fan base as a whole.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 08:20 AM) This is about the 3rd time I've said this to you now, so I'm going to try to be as clear as possible. "I don't care about the price. It's being paid by another person's grant money because I taught his class this term, freeing him up to do actual work." Thanks for the suggestion though. Deals just are bouncing off of me. Damn, dude. He's just trying to help.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) I got the email. I deleted the email.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) Refs handed the game to the Hawks with no offsides calls on Hossa. FYI I don't understand why you are so obsessed with posters from other message boards. It's so simple to avoid what they are typing, and way more simple to not give a s***.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 09:27 AM) He doesn't really. He offers up fantasy basketball analysis. He offers nothing about how the game is actually played. Thank you, there is such a disconnect among some posters. I like how it's Rose homerism. HE. IS. GOING. TO. WIN. MVP. There is no homerism. It's f***ing realism. He's unreal, and I'd be posting that if he were on the Golden State Warriors. I just happen to be lucky enough that the NBA MVP, 22 years old no less, is on my team. Did some fail to receive the memorandum?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) Whatever with this discussion. What happens to Dwight Howard is the Magic happen to lose in the first round? He will meet secretly with the big 3 in Miami and decide to play with them come free agency!

Not to be outdone, Crawford is beasting.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) why are there seagulls in Chicago when there is no sea? Why are there seagulls in parking lots?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 10:27 AM) Wait, what's the 2nd? Texas was already sold off right? Isn't it the Brewers?

Ok, I've covered another slow-starter. Someone want to make a thread for the rest of our lineup sans TCQ? Seriously, though, does Gordon Beckham suck?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) I really have no problem with a long NBA playoff. What's the harm in being able to watch a few more games? It's not like baseball where if they go on too long, suddenly the game gets snowed out. Same here. I f***ing love it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) I'm not going to lie, I'd probably lie like hell. This is the sentence of the millennium.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) They must have forgotten about Sidney Crosby You can't whine when your brain is scrambled.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) I say it every year but the games in the 1st round should be every other day unless there are scheduling conflicts with the buildings and even that should be avoided. Well, unlike the NHL, the NBA wants each game to stand on its own, so the first round lasts forever. They don't play two games at once.

f*** yes, time for more playoff basketball!
