QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 07:20 AM) Bulls***, whenever I go in there looking for you you're nowhere to be found. Not my fault you come around at 2 a.m. when normal people are asleep.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 06:21 PM) It is dead right now. I've been in it just about every day for the last uh.. year or more. Guess I scare people off.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 07:45 AM) For at least the first half of season one, it was (seemingly) a procedural police drama where the main character happens to get into a draw at some point each episode. That's why I stopped watching, but apparently they started to carry over storylines as soon as I decided to give it up This same thing happened with me. I started watching when it first came on the air and I thought it was good, but didn't think it was anything special. The first 6 (or so) episodes were all episode-to-episode, and while they were entertaining, they weren't enough to differentiate themselves from any other good TV show IMO. I stopped watching at that point. Of course, toward the end of season 1, they brought back Boyd and really started developing the main storyline, which was great. Season 2 was absolutely fantastic about this, and season 3 has done a good job so far as well. I got caught up on it after the end of season 2 and am glad that I did. All of this being said: Deadwood is still a much, much better show and I would trade never having another episode of Justified again if it meant I got one more season of Deadwood

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 23, 2012 -> 11:19 AM) Deadwood. I recommend Deadwood to everyone I know, especially since I know a lot of people that enjoy Justified. Part of me feels bad doing so, as it has three great, great seasons but when it ends you feel so terrible that you'll never get any more Deadwood episodes. Thankfully, it's an incredibly rewatchable show. So f***ing brilliant.

I'm not reading any of the last five pages because that horse has been beaten dead already. However, one brief thought about the finale: MICHONNE That is all.

QUOTE (almagest @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 05:49 PM) Wasteland 2 kickstarter Sequel to the spiritual predecessor to Fallout. This owns. I never played Wasteland, but I played (and loved) both of the original Fallout games, so it sounds amazing. Definitely donating to the cause.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 03:01 PM) How on earth are Wolves fans this annoying? It's quite amusing. Seriously, stop being a dick. If someone makes a post that offers literally 0% insight into a topic, they deserve to have it called stupid. I expect the same type of treatment if/when I make those types of posts.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 02:54 PM) Oh and you were 100% posting that in response to other posts & Rose, so bulls*** that you're just innocently passing along interesting articles. How on earth are Bulls fans this defensive? It's quite amusing.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 02:42 PM) All I'm saying is we can get our point across without insulting someone else' opinion, but whatever. Don't worry, the irony of this post is not lost on me.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 02:35 PM) We could do without the insults, thanks. If someone is going to put that much effort into a post, they deserve to be called stupid. It was a stupid post that was taking aim at something they clearly didn't read/weren't interested in reading. It was stupid. edit: How many more times can I say stupid in the same post to get my point across? stupid stupid stupid

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Mar 8, 2012 -> 09:25 AM) Bu bu but look at the stats!!!!! Teams lose 100% of games when their superstar takes the last shot. It's science you guys Leave Lebron aloneeeeeeee This post is very stupid. Congrats.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 11:38 PM) Ugh. How does that retain to this situation? No one pissed in your Cheerios when Love hit that game winner earlier this year. In fact, we all enjoyed the moment with you. I didn't post it because of anything that happened tonight (or anything that the Bulls have ever done). You shouldn't presume things, especially since I wasn't even replying to a comment that was about the Bulls game. Jesus christ, defensive much? It was posted because it's an interesting article on an interesting topic, and because the ridiculous mindset that LeBron is an awful person because he doesn't take the last shot for his team in every possible situation (which chw42 alluded to). It seemed pretty relevant to that.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) Hahaha. LeBron sat in the corner today while D-Wade took the last shots in their game against Atlanta. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7649571/...k-espn-magazine

Not to steal any of your thunder, but the Bulls media guide has all that information (and more!).

QUOTE (Felix @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) Not sure where this was reported, but it's not true. Magic had 2 games with at least 15/15/15 while Larry Bird had another. Doesn't make it any less impressive, but still. I'd also be shocked if Oscar Robertson didn't have more than a few, considering he averaged 30.8 pts, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game in '61-62. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) They probably missed fineprint that was something like *since 2000, or something like that QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 06:39 PM) Espn has said a few variations of that stat tonite. It started off as "it has only been done 3 times in history, twice by Jason Kidd, and one tonite by Rondo", then in the pregame they said he was the third player to do it. It doesn't surprise me that it isn't right and they can't find the correct answer. ESPN's bottom line just said he's the third ever player with a 15-15-20 triple double (joining the Big O and Wilt). That sounds more accurate.

Announcers can be stupid (and wrong). Portland's broadcast team said last night that Beasley averages four fouls a game despite playing not that much. He actually averages 1.9 fouls per game, or 2.7 fouls per 36. As an aside, that Portland broadcast team is atrocious. Avoid them at all costs.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 02:54 PM) 3rd ever 15/15/15 game in NBA history, Kidd with the first 2. Not sure where this was reported, but it's not true. Magic had 2 games with at least 15/15/15 while Larry Bird had another. Doesn't make it any less impressive, but still. I'd also be shocked if Oscar Robertson didn't have more than a few, considering he averaged 30.8 pts, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game in '61-62.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) I know a lot of people will talk about the turnovers, but have you guys seen the Knicks statistics with him on the court vs. without him. It is a pretty ridiculous difference. He will always have high turnover numbers, part of that is D'Antoni's system, part of that he is an inexperienced rookie who at times plays a bit out of control. Plus, his handles are not near as good as some of the premiere PG's in the league. It's almost like his backup is the corpse of Baron Davis

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 2, 2012 -> 11:40 AM) I liked Batman Forever, so there. Enough said.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) My problem with Felix is that he isn't consistent, he took a crap on Rose last year for being inefficient (Bulls kept winning), yet not a peep on Rubio's horrendous shooting (like we're not gonna notice)...but anyway, it's his opinion and he's entitled to one. It's pretty obvious you haven't read any posts of mine about Rubio. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 07:07 PM) For someone who openly hate this thread you certainly click on iit enough. I'm working on it. There are better places to actually talk basketball, as opposed to just the Bulls. I'm slowly weaning myself off of this s***hole.

Words cannot express how sad it makes me to find out you didn't laugh at my post I... I don't think I'll ever be the same
