QUOTE (bmags @ May 29, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Wade is going to cleveland. He's going to have to take one hell of a paycut to go there. I think they're better off with JR Smith and Iman Shumpert than Wade. That team doesn't need another ball handler/slasher. They need guys who can shoot.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 29, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) Wade might become a free agent again this summer. I am sure he will be the next to pass up the Bulls. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/201...-his-departure/ Not that anyone really wants him at his price point. Wade wasn't all that good last year. His numbers dropped off a cliff after he had to be the #1 guy again. He's not capable of that anymore at his age. At best, he's a #2 guy on your team.

Blatter won again, but it was close enough where he didn't get 2/3 of the vote the first time around. (It was almost 2/3 though). It'll be interesting if they'll be able to bring him down somehow.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 28, 2015 -> 10:15 AM) I've never understood LeBron settling for jumpers other than to hold off some fatigue. If he gets it in his mind to take it to the basket, he cannot be stopped, and GS will be no lock to win. You can ask the same thing about Derrick Rose. Why the hell is he settling for 30% 3 pointers when he can drive and shoot 55%?

Warriors match up so well against the Cavs. They play small to begin with since Green is usually their 4 and he's was second in voting for DPOY. LeBron creates matchup problems for most teams since their 4s are usually bigger and slower, forcing teams to put 3s and 2s on him. If the Cavs wanted to play Irving, Dellavedova, Smith, and LeBron, most teams would have to play a 4 to guard one of Irving, Dellavedova, and Smith. That usually leaves one open more often than not. But the Warriors have the personnel to match those lineups extremely well. Green, Barnes, and Iguodala can all guard LeBron and they wouldn't be forced to stick Bogut or David Lee on a smaller guard. tl;dr: Warriors strongest/default lineup matches up well against Cavs' best/most used rotation.

Jack Warner's probably gonna rat out Blatter. He's done.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 27, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) lmao. So they can be blamed for flopping in the sport too?

Maybe Blatter won't win the election coming up in 2 days after all. One can hope. And maybe, just maybe, this will lead to Qatar losing the 2022 WC? Please let that happen.

This team simply sucks to watch. Nothing's more boring than offense that labors to score 3 runs. It doesn't help that our defense screws our pitching over more often than not. I spent $130 on MLB.tv and I can't bring myself to actually watch a whole game most of the time. It's not enjoyable. It doesn't help that I'll tune in 30 minutes after the start of the game and I see the Sox are already down by 5. I know that there's almost no chance they'll come back and win because the offense is putrid.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 26, 2015 -> 03:09 PM) “They don’t understand the game,” Amaro said. "They don’t understand the process. There’s a process. And then they [b****] and complain because we don’t have a plan. There’s a plan in place and we’re sticking with the plan. We can’t do what’s best for the fan. We have to do what’s best for the organization so the fan can reap the benefit of it later on. That’s the truth.” Well Ruben Amaro's plan sucks. And it's sucked for years.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 23, 2015 -> 09:30 PM) They just might be the best nba team (no hyperbole here, check the numbers) of the 21st century. And much props to Steve Kerr for, despite playing in the 80's and 90's, recognizing that it's a MUCH different game/era and adapting to it. You got Phil/Fisher running the f***ing triangle in 2015. :lol: lol considering you exaggerate a lot, this doesn't say much of anything.

Was Melky getting roids in Toronto last year or something?

I'm pretty sure I can throw a good game against the Sox if I had Marcum's changeup.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2015 -> 09:21 PM) I assume Rodon is done? He's at the century mark and he struggled like crazy that last inning. No way he goes out there again.

Can we get another Adam Eaton bomb?

Rodon had no control of his fastball today. Yet he still only gave up 1 run. We're fortunate.

Looks like Eaton has some sneaky power.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2015 -> 08:18 PM) Only a 5 mph difference though. He's getting way too many swings and misses We'll know the outcome of this game during the second time around.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 20, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) Shouldn't be long until they're killing this guy or it's a worry. 85mph fastballs, followed by 80mph changeups. Marcum has had a ton of success against us in the past. The Sox suck at hitting pitchers with good change ups.

Didn't get enough of it. Good ABs so far though. They've made Marcum come at them with fastballs.

Get deep in counts against Marcum and we'll have success. Start getting behind and we're going to be swinging at 80 MPH change-ups all day.

Finally got somebody to bite on that slider.
