QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) There was no movement off the ball during that run for the Bulls. Everyone just stopped and watched, and settle for jumpers at the end of shot clock. I wish Rose would stop heaving the ball, that shot will never go in. It doesn't hurt to try. There might be a 1% chance Rose makes that shot, but there's a 0 percent chance if he doesn't shoot it.

I don't think the Bulls scored for the last 3 minutes. They've been horrible at closing out quarters in certain games this year.

The Bulls are in a terrible dry spell.

Come on Noah...WTF?

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Rose wants to show you that he's better than you think he is.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:50 AM) This certainly adds another thing to consider, and it is interesting to see the difference in his overall percentage when factoring his buzzer beaters/heaves in. However, I'm not completely sold that you can just discount them without a second thought. I feel like you'd have to look at the tape for each of them to really decide how it applies, as I'm sure there were instances of him getting the ball with 10 on the clock and just settling for a three instead of attempting to drive. I'd also be interested in seeing the league numbers on those shots. I think that's what Synergy Sports does. They have video of every play of every game and break things down for you. I'm pretty sure they classify heaves as shots from 40-50+ feet with little or no time left on the shot or game clock.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 07:19 AM) Korver played 32 min last night and scored 8 points on 2 of 7 shooting. I can see why he's playing so much. He's been shooting better. So eh...

An idea popped into my head today... Why not use Game Score (Hollinger stat) as the scoring for fantasy basketball? It seems a lot better than most generic fantasy scoring systems and is more in-depth than Efficiency. So I made a H2H points league (only way to do it) on Yahoo if anyone is still interested in drafting a team (in case yours sucked). This league's purely experimental. I'd like to see how it goes and maybe adopt this model for future leagues. Draft is this Sunday at 8:45 PM CST. League ID: 154244 password: basketball

Detroit's offense is so damn bad. 66 points? Really? And Scal scores!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 09:18 PM) lol. First of all, LeBron wants his MVP back. So that's that. Second, somebody needs to let Derrick know that he's NOT a 3-point shooter and has no business taking 5 a night. He had to force two of them up today.

WHITE MAMBA!

QUOTE (SouthSideTeacher @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) He's truly OFF lately. Watching him run up and down the court, it's like yeah, he's there, but he's not ALL there. It's like zombie-noah or something. Anyone else catch him taking smelling salts before the tip? Is this something that he usually does? I've never seen it before tonight. Are they all THAT tired? He got high before the game.

The minutes are catching up with Luol. He's played like crap the last two games.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 08:31 PM) Im confident Noah will turn it around eventually this season. The Pistons have no answer for Boozer, hes dominating. He's getting guarded by Jerebko and Jason Maxiell. He should be getting open and hitting shots.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) Boozer's rainbow shot is beautiful when on. And it means no more "Boozer clogging the lane for Noah!" s***. WTF Joakim. Noah's pretty much useless right now.

Asik looks aggressive on offense tonight. Not working too well so far, but good to see.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 05:28 PM) Rios would have to overachieve big time to have more than an average season by good centerfielder standards. And we know he isn't going to overachieve, not in his current $$$comfort$$$ zone. So all we can hope for is .260 at best with about 15 home runs max and about 70 ribbies max. If we could somehow dump the guy, I'd take DeAza out there anyday. He'd put up similar numbers (at worst) for 1/75th the pay. Not that I care about lining Jerry's pockets with more money. Did he raise parking again? No he doesn't. If he hits .260 with 15 HR, he's most likely gonna have a .700+ OPS, which is actually about average for CFers. I also don't think that's an "at best" estimate. You're talking about a guy who has a career line of .270/.320/.430. Not .230/.280/.350.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jan 8, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) Well I will give Tebow credit, he made enough plays to win instead of needing random miracles and mistakes from the other team. The Steelers looked really unprepared for this game. They made a lot of bad mistakes in the first half. Like when their backup center snapped the ball over Roethlisberger's head that cost them a FG at the end of the half.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 8, 2012 -> 07:20 PM) Like I said at the start of the game, I didn't feel right rooting for therapists. I have zero issues rooting for the #1 seed to stomp the bejeezus out of this team. Roethlisberger's lack of mobility killed them. He had no chance against the pass rush on that last drive. Had they gotten maybe 5-7 more yards (from the 45), Suisham could have had a 55 yard field goal. With how Mile High plays, you'd think it wouldn't be that hard of a FG to make.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 8, 2012 -> 07:08 PM) Go Patriots! No way they win next week. The Pats destroyed them at Mile High, I don't see them doing any better in New England.

And just like that, the game's tied.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 8, 2012 -> 01:51 PM) Let's not get carried away with saying he's top 5. In no order Brees,Brady,Rivers,Eli,Romo,Rodgers,Ryan,Schaub,Big Ben. That is 9 right there and that doesnt include if Peyton comes back. Cutler's better than Rivers. That was pretty evident when the two teams played. If you give any QB the Bears' situation this year, very few would have played as well as Cutler did (Brees, Brady, Rodgers, and maybe Roethlisberger), let alone get the team to 7-3.
