QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 08:43 AM) My goodness. This is one of the worst rap albums I've listened to in my life and I've been listening to rap since 1983. I want that 60 minutes back. What a waste of talent. If Lupe sucked, you wouldn't think of it that way. You only think this way because it was a let down and you had high expectations.

This Bulls team has won against every team in the NBA now except New York. The Hawks were one of the teams they hadn't beat. This season has exceeded all my expectations.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 08:49 PM) I thought it was funny that Thomas went from out of the rotation, to starter, to out of the rotation. It was quite evident from the Toronto game that Thomas has no business playing off the bench instead of Asik.

Boozer will probably sit out a whole week now. Oh well. It's not like he was all that important since the ASB. This means Kurt Thomas will get playing time again...lol.

QUOTE (almagest @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 06:43 PM) Got Dragon Age 2 yesterday, and I ordered MLB '11 today. I skipped '10 because I couldn't hit a damn thing in '09. Hopefully I figure it out this year, although the demo wasn't very encouraging. If you had a hard time hitting in 09, you're not gonna hit anything in 11.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) granted he is seemingly taking a lot of jump shots, but he was never a low post monster with power moves, he is kind of a finesse player He used to at least get some points on the inside. He used to get 40% of his points inside the paint. He's now at 25% and shooting 70% jumpers. That doesn't sound like a PF.

Bosh is getting wasted in Spolestra's system. He's become a tall jump shooter now. It's also made him more of a b****.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 6, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) I'll do some homework later. But has there been a better non-closer in baseball the last three years? One guy that jumps off the top of head is Mike Adams. He's second to Mariano Rivera in WAR in the past three seasons.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Mar 6, 2011 -> 04:24 PM) also at the beginning of the game they said something like the bulls had 6 of the top 11 individual defenders, im not seeing those stats anywhere online anyone know who they are or where i can see that list 82games.com or Basketball-Reference. I think they were referring to Defensive rating, which is the # of points given up per 100 possessions. Defensive Rating rates Brewer, Gibson, Boozer, Noah, and Asik very highly. All of them are giving up less than 100 points per 100 possession (which is considered extremely good). Deng, Rose, and Bogans are just over the 100 mark. A lot of these ratings are the result of the system and vary based on the position a player plays (SGs tend to have higher defensive ratings due to the fact that they score more points than other positions), but the fact that the Bulls have so many highly rated players tells you a lot about the team's defense.

Boozer's been off for the past two weeks. He hasn't had a good offensive game since the first game after the All-Star break.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
Speaking of offensive plays...the Bulls were clueless on offense after they got the 6 point lead. There was one trip where everybody clustered at one spot and the clock ran down to 10 before they even started a play. Rose ended up air balling the shot. I don't know what the hell was going on, but this team was hard to watch offensively for about a whole minute down the stretch. Thank god for that foul on Mike Miller. And what a terrible game Mike Miller had. Missed numerous open 3s and committed a really dumb foul at the end.

The Bulls just passed this road trip with a 2-1 record. Shoulda been 3-0, but they played well in the games that really mattered. LeBron = choke.

Thornton Signs Extension
This is an incredible deal. I don't know how long Thornton has left on that arm, but when healthy, he's one of the best relievers in the game.

Jake Peavy Thread
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=Aq1k...ywhitesox030411 Passan writes a pretty good article on Peavy's start today and his recovery. There actually has been a pitcher with an injury like Peavy's - Brent Leach. He recovered to full velocity afterward. So that's a good precedent.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Mar 4, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) some of it is coaching, but some of it is it's hard to win with 3 talented players even 2 top 10 guys and basically nobody else, it could look worse in the playoffs when it's even more halfcourt game Bibby and Miller aren't that bad. Haslem's alright too. They do lack a true center who can clog the lane up, but when you have two top 5 players on your team, you should be able to make up for a lot of those flaws. They have the personnel and the talent. It has to be more mental and strategic than anything. This Spurs game is a joke, but the Heat always let up after they get a nice lead. This happened in both of the Bulls games and in yesterday's Magic game. They can't let that happen and I think a lot of that has to be on the coaching. If you have enough talent to get that kind of lead, you should have the talent to keep it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 4, 2011 -> 10:31 AM) Is the 2011 schedule included with that roster? I normally try to follow the real team at least by week. I don't think you can alter schedules from roster files...
