QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 04:12 PM) BULLS VS THE VAUNTED HORNETS TONIGHT I AM EXCITE FOR ANOTHER 30 POINT LEAD IN THE SECOND QUARTER GO BULLS JIZZ I'm actually excited to see this Gustavo Ayon cat, he's Mexican, just like me!

I know Balta already posted the link but this is a very interesting read...yes it's a meaningless game but how could you not want to take the last shot?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 09:30 AM) I love that the All-Star Game is going to mess with LeBron's head even further. The only thing that can stop the Heat this year is LeBron. This is where a year of college ball would have helped him. He'd have had to fall in line with a respected coach on a huge stage. Instead, he goes straight from ESPN-televised high school games where he gets phellated relentlessly to an awful Cavs team where he got phellated relentelessly and everyone considered him the savior. LBJ has had everything handed to him his entire life. Yes, he's an amazing talent and yes he's a monster in the weight room. I don't want to minimalize the work he has put in to become the best pure talent in NBA history. However, his mind is weak. That might be something that never gets turned around... hell, even Carmelo Anthony, in the midst of his worst stretch ever, was giving LBJ s*** about not wanting that shot. At some point we got to feel bad for LBJ... No, not really, ha! With all the media now relentlessly focusing on LBJ's percieved lack of clutchness, no one is gonna give a cra p what LBJ does until he plays big in the finals moments of the Finals, you know that's gonna be messing with his pysche, lol.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 05:57 PM) I agree. What's Rose doing there? hater!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) Somebody in that group just doesn't belong. I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see this post...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 05:12 PM) I doubt you watched Grossman play more than 1 game in College, so please just stick to the NBA. Because your argument is lunacy, no one thought Grossman was going to be any good, thats why after his Sophomore year he was projected to be a top 10 pick and after his Junior year he was drafted in the first round. But yes, no one thought a player with a solid 1st round grade would be any good. Here is the SI rating from 2003: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...ayers/7323.html Grade: 4.15 4.99 to 4.10 -- Quality Prospect -- Someone that consistently gives good performances. Occasional Pro-Bowl appearances. This is why Grossman is a bust. Lin can never be a bust, he wasnt drafted. Just being a back up PG would be a major accomplishment when you take into consideration he wasn't even offered a scholarship and went undrafted.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 05:02 PM) No, I see everything fine. You're the clueless one. This Jeremy Lin crap has been blown up to the point that he can't go back to being a nobody. And it's not just ESPN. This s*** is everywhere. Nba.com, si.com, sportstalk radio, u.s.a. today. He's already been on the cover of si TWICE! In three f***ing weeks. It doesn't matter that he wasn't an all-american in college. Once he comes back down to earth, it will be no different than a highly touted rookie that failed to live up to expectations. And lol@anybody thinking Rex was that good. Nobody thought that. If Lin becomes a 12/7 PG, a lot of people will be disappointed and it's not even his fault.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 03:59 AM) Wait a minute. You watched last night's game and feel MORE confident against the Heat? lol. Whatever. I gotta agree with J4L, that game depressed me, the Heat may not only be better offensively but defensively as well, yeah it was the Knicks but they looked like they were just toying with them. Goddamn the Heat have too many weapons.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 02:18 PM) LeBron should be able to shut down Rose. What the Bulls have to do is make an adjustment and have whoever Chalmers is guarding beat them. That is where Hamilton comes in. Chalmers is not a bad defender but they can go Wade, LBJ and Battier on the floor to protect the perrimeter...this is where having a low post player would've helped.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 02:14 PM) I mean, come on, he's a dude who is as fast as Rose but 6 inches taller and probably has at least 50 pounds on Rose. That makes s*** rough. The others guys need to step up when DRose draws LBJ.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 10:00 AM) Here's my biggest problem right now. 5 games in a row, between the Bulls and heat, it's come down to the final minute or two, and 5 games in a row the Heat have taken care of business...and it's mostly been the same way, cranking up the defense and saying "You're done scoring" while they put together a couple buckets, sometimes on miracle shots, themselves. 5 games in a row is starting to convince me that this formula will simply work on the Bulls too often. Keep the game close, beat up Rose some, and when it gets to the last 5 minutes, put Lebron on Rose and say that's it. Well if Rose wouldn't have missed both his FT in the waning moments of that last game, we wouldn't be talking about a 5 game losing streak...it was there for the taking. At Miami without Deng and Watson too.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 09:08 AM) Your posts in absolute are why we continue to bring up the Knicks. lol You guys are never gonna let J4L live that down. I also think the Bulls if healthy can hang with Miami but if I were a betting man, my money is on Miami to come out of the East, the Big 3 are just too much to handle. Chicago would need Rose to play much better than last year's ECF, that could happen IF he's healthy, Boozer needs to match what Bosh produces to nullify him, we would need to have Wade have another subpar performance (Bulls D has given him fits recently), Rip and Noah have to produce and KK needs to hit his threes to loosen up their D.Those are too many ifs. We know LBJ is gonna beast, Deng isn't stopping him...the Bulls have a legit shot but they need to up their game if they want to beat Miami. Right now I would say Miami in 6 or 7 but wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls do pull it off.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) I love Noah. love him This is the Noah that was missing in last year's ECF, if Noah plays like this, no one on Miami frontcourt can f*** with him. Please stay healthy

Lin with a nice game, I don't know why the Knicks just don't rest him in the 4th, they're up big and they'll need him to log heavy minutes tomorrow night at Miami.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 12:15 PM) Joe Johnson out of All-Star Game and 3pt Shootout Rondo in ASG. No idea for 3pt. I vote Korver or Watson for the shootout. Korver would be awesome, there are no defenders in a 3 pt contest so he should ve fine.

Adam Sandler movies. Then again, I hate Adam Sandler movies.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) The biggest problem with this article is that is written awful. If you want to talk about Rose not being a role model, talk about him cheating to get into college. Talk about him letting down his teammates, university and fans when they took the final four appearance away from Memphis. That's fair game and you make a good point. To be honest, I'm with Chuck Barkley on this one, parents should be role models, not young athletes that make millions to play a sport, but that's just me...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) No mention of Martell Webster's last second slam dunk when down three points? lol Even KLove was like WTF?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 01:31 PM) Jeremy Lin is a better role model than Derrick Rose and it isnt even close SMH This linsanity NEVER ENDS What a stupid article... So DRose never faced racism, please. We know DRose is a model citizen, never been in trouble with the law and Jeremy Lin is a better role model because he's Asian and doesn't talk back when racial slurs are hurled at him? ok, great logic.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 10:51 AM) I think there were a fair number of people worried about Oden's long term health coming out of college. Of course, with Durant being a twig, there were probably just as many worried about him...but that's why you do physicals and such. Oden needs to be released and let the Suns work their magic on him!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 09:44 AM) Bowie over Jordan Oden over Durant Portland FTW You can't really blame them though, in 84 they had Drexler and Bowie looked legit and Oden would be the best big man today if his health wasn't so s***ty, I remember watching Oden vs Howard a few years ago and he was manhandling Dwight. Most teams will pick a legit looking center because thosr guys are far and few between.

As nice a run that Lin has had, he shouldn't be taking more shots than Amar'e or Melo.
