    one of those things where had a relief package passed in october this would have already been readied. But I still think Illinois/locales could have stood this up faster anyway. We all knew in october a vaccine was close, mass vaccination plans should have been underway. It's like they just started when they heard they were getting vaccine.

    I can assure you that this wasn't the case.

    I annually like to mock Illini fans for blaming the refs for all their faults, but the refs were pretty atrocious last night. No flow to the game and that Kofi F1 was terrible.

    Despite that, Mizz played harder and Ayo had no help most of the night.

    Illini shot 23% from 3 and 61% from the line and were still right there at the end. Frustrating game for sure, but not the end of the world.

    While Ayo was everything for the illini pretty much all game, he was clearly exhausted at the end. He actually cost the Illini in the last few minutes with his unwillingness to give up the ball. I hope he uses this as a learning experience and is more willing to let Curbelo be the ball handler down the stretch (when he's that tired... I've never really seen him gassed like that before). Curbelo has a super bright future.

    I’ve had a few questions on my mind and wonder what you all think:

    - Does the Bears defense miss Eddie Goldman and need him to play at a high level?

    - Should the Bears consider having a Mitch package to change it up a la Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia?

    - Is it clear the Bears needed a true backup running back to complement David Montgomery or is Patterson enough? I’m wondering if Lamar Miller would be worth it, which I think he would.

    They clearly miss Goldman as they have been worse against the run than they have been in a while. The Bears still were #7 in defensive DVOA going into today (and will likely jump after that performance), so while they miss Goldman the Bears defense is still very, very good.

    Because Orlando Shaq>>>>> he got fat in LA. He wasn't the same guy defensively. The NBA is different now and he was pushing 350 even by the time they started winning championships. 

    Orlando Shaq was an athletic freak. 

    LA Shaq was just bigger than everyone else so he was kind of a physical bully. 

    The game would have to adapt to LA Shaq, not vice versa. The Warriors lineup of death wouldn't be able to see the court much against LA Shaq. That's the difference. He would make a team like the Warriors have to play a guy like Bogut and a big backup 30+ minutes per game.

    I just think it's going to take much worse. I hope you're right, but George seems to love him and word is he had a huge say in the HH renovation. Now if they win 7-8 games this year and same thing in 2021, then yes I believe he's gone.

    He would have one playoff appearance in 6 years and the franchise would have to draft a new QB. I can't imagine they keep a guy on his last legs to draft for a future he won't be a part of. Anything is possible, because it's the Bears, but they fired Lovie after a 10-6 season that missed the playoffs, I can't imagine they'd keep this guy after yet another season without the playoffs.

    Maybe I gave him too much credit. If he's not as good of a shooter as I thought he was, then maybe it's just that there aren't that many gifted big men anymore. 

    There are some good ones, but nobody on the level of Shaq. Embiid and Jokic are regularly out of shape and they are just fine today defensively and play a lot in the post offensively. They both can stretch the floor a bit, but embiid is much better in the post and any team giving up jumpers to him will gladly take that,

    Let's put it this way: It's questionable if Shaq or Ewing would have a place in today's NBA. Kukoc there isn't even a question about. 

    If Shaq and Ewing would have a place in today's NBA, they probably wouldn't be getting huge minutes. And when I talk about Shaq, I mean LA Shaq not Orlando Shaq. Orlando Shaq would have a place, it's questionable about LA Shaq. 

    This is coming from one of the biggest Shaq fans as a kid. I liked him as much as I liked Jordan. 

    Lakers Shaq would be the best center in the NBA and probably the best player. This is insane. He would be unstoppable on offense. Ewing was a really good shooter and rim protector. He would be extremely valuable today too.

    Didn't deserve it imo

     

    Still great that the chiefs dominated for like six whole minutes and easily won

    Easily won? Sanders was wide open on the third and 10 that would have given the niners the lead back. I guess they “easily won” if you’re just looking at the final score.
