QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 06:33 AM) I kind of feel the way I did about the Bears a few years ago. Tired of good defense, I want to score some points. Of course that method hasn't worked for the Bears the past couple of seasons, but still. Ha, so true. The thing with Bears though is that they went from a solid defense with a terrible offense to a historically bad defense with a very good offense. I'm betting the Bulls will noticeably improve on offense, and no way will Thibs allow the defense to drop off in a major way. I just hope Thibs give Niko and McBuckets alot of burn.

I'm actually excited about the Bulls, obviously it all hinges on Rose ability to stay on the floor.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 04:45 PM) They cant use that as an excuse, especially since they needed 120 minutes in 3 of their 4 knockout games. Best team won, glad it wasnt settled by kicks. Germany was the better team but Argentina had 3 clear chances to score and win the game and would be just winners if they had. Congrats to Germany

Argentina can't miss chances like Higuain early in the game, then Messi and Palacio and expect to win, SMH.

One day less of rest and coming after a 120 mins and PKs for Argentina, not good.

No Di Maria

Lol, how's that a foul on Higuain, wtf

Wow

My wife insists I represent her country here or else she won't let me post, lol

Come on Messi

Higuain WTF!!!

Lance please

QUOTE (bulokis @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:30 PM) Welcome to hard nose basketball but not good enough for the playloffs chicago bulls team again. Any SF out there for trades? What? The Bulls as is are a contender, barring major moves by the Cavs, I think they can play with any EC team (depending on Rose staying healthy). There are 3 WC teams better than the Bulls (LAC, SAS and OKC) but fortunately you only play one of them if you can get to the Finals.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:08 PM) It does seem they think they can parade a star by their 6 trophies and they think that should be good enough to convince them they want to be a Bull. Nevermind the reason those trophies are there is basically one player who was acquired before anyone parading these plyers through had anything to do with the Bulls. Huh? John Paxson?

I knew this was gonna happen when MarshMelo was 'anguishing' where to go, riiiight. Now everyone is upset that GarPax couldn't seal the deal. There never was a deal to close, I can't believe people fell for his dog and pony show. The guy loves NY and getting paid, not hating him for that. What bothers me is he put on this "it's not about the money, it's about winning" facade and alot of us took it hook, line and sinker. And I don't want to hear this crap about PJax not letting Melo go by refusing a S & T, that's some naive BS, Melo cried his way out of Denver, if he really was set on leaving NY, he and his people would've figured out a way. PJax would've done a deal to get some assets in return but he knew it was never coming down to that. This long waiting period for his 'decision' was to make folks believe he had doubts, riiiight. So yeah, let's keep on blaming the FO. BTW, don't know if it's true or not but I kept hearing that Phil never even really wanted Melo that much but Dolan loves him and in no way wanted to lose him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) Again health was mentioned. Rose is a pretty good player when healthy. Fraschilla said if Mirotic was in this draft, he would have been top 4. McDermott was a lottery pick and a guy who the Bulls think was the best shooter in the draft. And Gasol got 17 and 10 last year. He isn't quite a stiff yet. They get another scorer, they who in the east is clearly better then them? Granted they didn't add Beasley or Oden. You know, real talent. Ouch. I say the Bulls make a trade for either one of those guys just to make J4L happy, lol

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) Which is why mirotic, Gasol, and mcdermott were added. Not to mention we might add more pieces. People are overreacting. Melo would have obviously made the bulls better, but the world isn't ending. This

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Doubt he used them as leverage. Dude got the max offer over a week ago from the Knicks. I'd believe this if he committed right after his meeting with the Knicks. Dude has a serious ego, he was loving all the attention. I kept saying we weren't ever seriously in contention with the money difference being so large. This was all just for show.

MarshMelo is all about money, everyone knows this (except some Bulls fans )

In b4 Melo staying in NY...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 01:10 AM) Woj says Bulls are signing Pau. Not exactly sure what this means for Melo... Boozer's gone, right?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:48 PM) Seriously. I can't pity them whatsoever. Their fans suck and they gamed the system 4 years ago to assemble a super team. The way the Spurs dismantled the Heat that eventually led to their demise couldn't have been written better in Hollywood. Epic. The Evil Empire has fallen!
