Until somebody pulls a hammy

This is the most emotion I've seen Derrick Rose show

Did they change the filters between innings?

Not sure what Soler was looking for on that 3-1 pitch...

Why are they interviewing the guy who hit .150 last year?

I think it's some sort of web hosting issue. Reddit servers are acting up too.

Great time for MLB.tv to s%*# the bed. I've gotta watch this on some illegitimate streaming site even though I have a legitimate way to watch it...

Yeah this is probably the biggest difference between this hot streak and his previous hot streaks. We've seen Coby get hot and score like this before, but that's really all it was before. He'd get on a good shooting streak from 3 and put together a string of really good games. But then he'd fall back to being mediocre or even bad when the shots weren't falling. If he can get to the line more and become less reliant on 3 points shooing he'd become a far more consistent scorer.

I know, but if they end up the 8th seed they're going to be like the 11th or 12th team in the lottery. I know 08 happened, but the odds of them getting a top 4 pick are going to be really low. After the Zach trade, I was kind of banking on them being 6th or 7th in the lottery. That would have gotten them around a 35% chance at a top 4 pick. The chance of top 4 from 11th is around 8%.

The way it's going, they're probably gonna get the 8th seed. Lottery dreams were more or less dead when this recent good stretch started.

That's probably the best Bulls game since 2021. Coby and Matas with 30+. Giddey 2 steals short of a quadruple double.

I was saying he was another Pat a month ago and now I want to give him $30 mil+ a year. What a turn around.

Giddey is unreal right now

They definitely should have traded Vuc. They're a better team with Collins/Smith as big men. Vuc looks out of place out there right now.

Preller traded us damaged goods? He would never!

I honestly did not think people would be talking about this so much. Dave Portnoy was talking about it on Twitter. I didn't think Bernstein's reach went outside of Chicago.

Maybe, but Bernstein's always been an ass.

I can't believe he basically got fired because someone said he didn't release a fish he caught. Just the dumbest downfall in Chicago sports radio.

I'm a big fan of the 83 uniforms, so this is cool.

Oh no, Ryan Pace is back? For real though, I can't really complain much about the off-season so far. There's some I liked, some I didn't, but the overall grade has to be a positive. He's addressed the interior offensive line. The Thuney and Dalman moves are A+ type moves. They're both impact players IMO. The Jonah Jackson move isn't one that I would have made, but I also don't know him like Ben Johnson probably does. That's probably something he personally requested from Poles. I would have rather paid an older vet like Zeitler for far less money for a year and drafted his replacement. I'm sure the Bears would have preferred Mack or Sweat at Edge as opposed to Dayo. I'm not super opposed to the signing. They more or less paid market value for a guy who has more potential than production. The Grady Jarrett move initially puzzled me. But after seeing what the Vikings gave Allen and Hargrave, two guys who are around the same age with similar pedigrees, it actually feels about right. I actually like the Zaccheaus signing. Like you said PFF graded him well and he seemed well-liked in Washington and on his previous teams. I was thinking that they might target someone like Tim Patrick, but Zaccheaus fills a similar role while putting up better numbers last year.

Say Drake

Were they playing him as a nose tackle? He's a natural 3 tech, so moving to a 4-3 scheme should help him a lot more.

Yeah that's the thing. Aaron Banks got 4 years and $77 million. I'd honestly rather have Jackson for 1 year at $17 million for a 6th rounder. If he sucks, you cut him next year with no strings attached. If he's good, you can keep him for another year at $17 million. There are older alternatives on short deals like Scherff or Zeitler, but those guys don't have the upside of Jackson.

The Dayo and Jarrett signings signal to me that Allen wants a lot of versatility on the line. It's also odd that they released Walker because he would give them some of the same versatility at half the price. Packers fans really wanted Odeyingbo apparently. His contract is really more for his potential and versatility than it is for his production. Personally, I'd rather have Sweat at $18-20 mil a year than Dayo at $16 mil. I'm sure Poles had interest, but maybe he didn't want to get that high in AAV.

They can structure the contracts in a way that take up maybe only 31-32 million this year. They don't have to pay Jackson next year, so they'll just kick the can down the road on some of these signings.
