QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 2, 2013 -> 11:11 PM) League pass is worth it just to watch the Warriors play. I chose Bulls (obligatory), OKC, Clippers, Warriors, and Houston.

Hawes actually traveled on that last shot the Sixers made.

The Bulls got out-hustled in the fourth quarter. The Sixers seemingly got every important rebound. Without a good Derrick Rose, this Bulls team just isn't very good.

Derrick's a turnover machine right now.

We had a superbowl moment last night. We were up 12 in the bottom of the second and all the lights in the softball complex went out. We'll have to continue that game next week. Grounder also ate me up at 3rd, hit me square on the bone above my ankle. The funny thing was that the ball just kind of stopped after it hit me and I was able to recover and tag the guy advancing to third. It got super swollen in 5 minutes and my right ankle is visibly bigger than my left right now.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Nov 2, 2013 -> 02:38 PM) I don't worry about Santiago's pitch counts. He needs to get a better feeling for pitching and know when to attack hitters and when to pitch to contact. It's all part of the learning process. If he doesn't, he racks up high pitch counts for a different team. Yeah he really pitches like a reliever. He also gets in a lot of trouble when his command eludes him and he starts walking 2-3 guys in a row. Hector's got what it takes to be a great starting pitcher, but he's too volatile ATM.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 2, 2013 -> 12:32 AM) Woooop my Nexus 5 comes in by the end of the day Monday Ordered it at 1:11 PM as soon as I got the alert and could get myself to a computer Lucky. Mine still hasn't shipped yet.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 1, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) Yes, some of them need to be banned, but not all...there are some great things being done with software, and to outright ban patents on it doesn't make sense, either. As for those Nortel patents, many of them aren't software patents. Not all of the patents in the portfolio are software, but the main ones used against Google/Samsung/Huawei are software related.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2013 -> 09:16 AM) You cant ban software patents, that would be crazy. It would destroy a great bit of the software industry. A lot of software patents these days are so freaking trivial that they shouldn't be patents. From a financial standpoint, I don't want them to be banned. I can make a lot of money in the future off of them as a software engineer. But they're being abused so much that I don't think they should even exist anymore. At the very least, how long you can hold a patent and what you can do with it must be reformed. Plus it takes forever to get a software patent approved, the process is a joke.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 1, 2013 -> 08:23 AM) Knew this was coming eventually, was hoping major reforms were in place before it would come to this... Rockstar (Microsoft/Apple/Sony/RIM/Ericsson) launch nuclear patent attack on Google/Android using the dangerous LTE/4G/Search patent portfolio they bought as a consortium off of Nortel for almost 5 billion dollars. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/10...ar-sues-google/ The fact that you can buy a patent portfolio just to sue other people after the fact is just...so mindbogglingly stupid. New Zealand banned software patents and I agree 100% with that decision. Either don't have them or reform the rules.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 04:01 PM) They dont do that because I did an upgrade from 4s-5 with the 2 year agreement I guess what you COULD do is take the iPhone 5C and flip it on eBay for $500-550. Then use that money to buy a 5S without the subsidy. Or buy a new 5 off eBay or Amazon.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) Blah. Not impressive at all. Especially with JR smith out. Nobody said it was. It was downright ugly actually. The Bulls seemed to have dominated for the majority of the game, but the score was close the whole night. Then they forgot how to shoot in the fourth.

lol why did Melo take a 3?

That's a big shot for Rose.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) Joakim had nothing to do with Chandler falling down He had no shot at that rebound. That ball was way behind him.

Lots of contact on these drives. You know any superstar except Rose would be getting these calls.

All Derrick is doing is dribbling the ball for 12 seconds, giving up his dribble, and passing the ball to a player in a bad position.

Hopefully the 3s get Rose going.

f*** all these Samsung commercials showing LeBron being a real person. It makes it harder for me to dislike him.

These delay of game calls are f***ing absurd.

Come on DRose...what happened to your ability to finish at the rim?

Kirk with the spin cycle.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 07:26 PM) Rose should have at least 4 foul shots by now. He complained about it and got a delay of game call.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 04:15 PM) Chances both could take that? I think Drew might take it. No chance Napoli does.
