2011 WNBA Thread
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 16, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) Whatever dude. Maya hasn't proven a damn thing at the WNBA level. Sure she was a great college player but so was Christian Laettner back in his day. Yes, her athleticism is impressive(set the record at the combine with a 9 inch vertical) and she was undeniably an amazing college player but until she proves that she can play at the professional level, your argument really holds no weight. DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS GIRL IS? SHE'S FROM MINNESOTA, SHE HAS A 9 INCH VERTICAL! DID YOU NOT GET THE MEMO?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 16, 2011 -> 11:16 PM) The Heat apologists are hilarious. "This is what the Heat need to do if they are going to win game 2 and then take the series." Well, there are certain things that I would need to do to get both Blake Lively and Meagan Good into bed - it doesn't mean that any of those things can actually happen. The one I love the most is talking about how the Heat need to rebound better. Of course they do. Now tell me- how are they going to do it? "duuuuuuhhhhh ummmmmmmmmmmm durrrrrr" f***ing Chris Broussard is the worst of them all too. He's so loud and annoying. The reason the Bulls out-rebounded the Heat so much in the first game is because the Heat doubled Rose at the 3 pt line, which is really really stupid. Trapping Rose out that early has no benefits. By trapping Rose with both the PG and a big man like the Heat were doing, it allows the Bulls to run a make-shift pick and roll, have the Heat over-pursue and double Rose and then have Rose pass it out to the screener. Who then has a 4 on 3 situation in the lane. This is how the Bulls were able to have some nice ball movement in the lane, getting Noah and Asik some easy dunks. This also allows the Bulls to get many second chances, something they were good at to begin with. But with this sort of setup, they are absolutely unstoppable on the offensive boards since Joel Anthony or whoever they have doubling Rose is out of position by the time the rebounding opportunity is there. So the easy fix is to stop doubling Rose up at the 3 point line. Sure, it could mean Rose gets easier shots, but it's not like he was struggling to score in game 1. If Spolestra's smart, he ditches this horrible game plan he had going and let Rose get his. The Heat can't afford to get dominated on the boards like they did in game 1. The Heat will have trouble regardless with the Bulls, this is simply a bad matchup for them. But they will win their fair share of games in this series and it should be a lot closer from now on.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 16, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) Well, definitely picking up ModNation Racers PSP, LBP PSP, WipeOut (don't have Fury) and Dead Nation. That's a damn good return package. ModNation Racers isn't one of the options for PS3, Dead Nation is though.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 16, 2011 -> 11:16 AM) Ok, I'm ready for game 2, f*** YOU OPRAH! Anyways, I can't even begin to explain how awesome Deng was last night, simply fantastic. Great win, keep up the intensity in game 2 and lets go to Miami up 2-0!! The dude hit 2 3s in the second half on a dislocated finger. He's a real warrior. His change in style of play on the floor and his change in attitude has been shocking. Thibodeau is working some kind of weird magic on these guys.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ May 16, 2011 -> 12:14 AM) I was really worried in that first quarter. Bulls were staying close, but had been completely out played (other than on the offensive glass). Half of that quarter was unbearable to watch. The Heat clamped down on D and the Bulls couldn't make anything. Rose was throwing up air-balls. Plus, our interior D was terrible. That Deng 3 on the Noah offensive board really turned things around though.

Broadcast on TNT brought something up today that confirmed a thought I had before the game...but in all of the games the Bulls have played against the Heat this year, they made all their runs to either get back into the game or take a lead in the 3rd quarter. Seems like there's a lot of adjustments going on in the Bulls' locker room at half-time while the Heat change nothing.

That second half was orgasmic. Rose didn't even have to play that good of a game. All of the role players showed up today, especially Gibson and Deng.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 15, 2011 -> 02:36 PM) I'm watching the Jays/Twins game right now. Does Brandon Morrow have the best 'stuff' in the game? Fangraphs was talking about this a few days ago. I'm really starting to wonder. I really truly think he has the best stuff in the game (until Strasburg comes back) right now. He's up there. The Jays have a bunch of good talent.

Jose Bautista...holy s***. I just saw the first homer he hit today. God damn! This guy picked him up in the 4th round of his fantasy league and is very very happy.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 14, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) 50-50 to me. I'm sure the majority of the board will take the team that has Jordan. Which is ironic, considering my user name. Edit: Lmao@Stockton guarding Rose. My goodness that would be suicide. I just thought about it. I see you are celebrating Miranda Cosgrove's birthday.

I have never seen this Bulls team fail me over any extended periods of time this year. I don't expect them to stop now. My mind does say the Heat are better and more talented, but they were also in that position the 3 times the Bulls beat them this regular season. Bulls in 7.

This team is a joy to watch when somebody other than Rose can score. Boozer needs to play like this against Miami for the Bulls to pull out a series against them.

Horrible offense to close out the 2nd. Atlanta's still in the game, unfortunately.
