QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 12:50 PM) Or "The shoe company paying me $200 million over the next 10 years doesn't want me playing on the same team as the guy they're paying $300 million over the next 10 years". Because I'm sure Nike wouldn't jump at the chance to snag Howard. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 01:00 PM) I thought Rose's deal was also $200 million? Let's face it folks, Simmons hit the nail on the head a while ago - stars these days want to be stars more than champions/legends of the sport. They're more concerned about their brand than the number of titles they have. Sad, but true. That and about having fun and the easy route. QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 01:03 PM) D12's first priority isn't about winning, that much is clear, if it's true that Adidas is against it, he could just tell them to f*** off...I don't think D12 will have trouble getting another lucrative shoe deal. Nike has no problem with Wade and LBJ in the same market. +1

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 12:44 PM) And the Bulls clear Boozer's contract? Of course I'd do that if he'd extend. But first, I don't believe that the Magic would seriously take Boozer's deal, and second it's pretty clear DH doesn't want to extend here. Still, if that report is true? Dwight is being a baby. Rose - Watson Rip - Brewer Korver - Butler Noah - Gibson Dwight - Scalabrine for all I care. It just doesn't make sense why Dwight really doesn't want to extend here, other than he wants to team with his buddies. But I don't want to here "I want to win" from him.

The Heat? REALLY?

Wow. Asik + Deng + Boozer + Charlotte pick and Dwight doesn't want to be here. THAT deal I do. Noah + Deng is a little different, but that one, just, wow. I love Deng as much as the next guy, but Noah-Dwight-Gibson is an insane defensive front court. You could start Korver and Brewer/Butler. But the manchild doesn't want to be here, so f*** him.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 02:07 AM) So you were willing to give up St. Louis for a #1 seed, but if you were a #2 you wanted to be in the midwest? If Missouri got a #1 seed, they would have most certainly gotten shipped to the west. I feel like Missouri is disrespected with the #2, after actually winning their Conference Tournament and of the top 8 only Michigan State did as well, but a #2 in St. Louis would have made up for it. QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 03:31 AM) Yeah that was more arguing over semantics. As for the 30 win thing, the stat I heard (via a friend not ESPN) applied to major conferences. Ok, that would make more sense.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 12, 2012 -> 09:42 AM) I think he's trying to say that Ozzie is full of s***, saying whatever is convenient for himself. He threw Cooper under the bus for being "disloyal" and looking for an extension for himself. But at the same time, Cox was "loyal" by Ozzie's own definition, and Ozzie still didn't bring him along to Miami with him. +1

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 10:58 PM) Well that's not true. They kept saying it on ESPN...? QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 11:18 PM) Selfishly I wanted St. Louis because I would have gone. This. I drive through St. Louis on the 23rd on my way back home. Wanted that so bad.

Rex, I was playing Devil's Advocate And Heads, how many 30 win teams haven't been the 1 seed? I can answer that. Zero.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) They still didn't win the conference though. That might hold weight, if Kansas was a 1. Missouri is the only 30 win team ever to not get a 1 seed. And if winning the conference outside the tournament is that important 1) Why have the tournament 2) Why isn't Washington in the bracket?

Missouri won their tournament and gets a 2nd seed, not in Midwest. Marcus Denmon ‏ @MizzouMonster12 Moral of the story schedule tough non conference games lose em get a high seed

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) Figures...Boozer plays strong and no one talks about it. Really enjoyable game to watch last night. Boozer and Korver both stepped it up and Butler looked solid in his 25 minutes of play. Butler really looks like he could be a good defender and a solid player. Given the position the Bulls are in, I hope we see him get more minutes for the next couple of weeks. It will really help his development and you never know when you need him to step up. Plus it only helps him for the long-term as I know Thibs really likes him. I think Butler will be part of Bench Mob 2.0 with Mirotic. I want the Bulls to get the next Mobs PG, SG/SF, and C in this draft.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Kyle Korver wants you to have hot sauce on those big macs! I both love and hate you for that.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) Could have gone without Mizzou winning on their way out. Cool.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 06:51 PM) Noah's out too? Sick.

Out for Bulls: CJ, Rip, Deng, Noah Out for Jazz: Harris, Bell. Rose goes for 100 tonight.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 11:41 PM) Who gets to have the honor of being Timo Perez? Dan Johnson?

Damn, I feel for him.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) I cannot experss how much the experience increases in The Show when you add all your custom sounds. Player walk-up music, Thunderstruck to start the game, Nancy Faust's "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" playing randomly throughout the game and after losses. Let's Go-Go White Sox after the game ends. I added CSN music for between innings. After a "k" the stadium plays hawk saying "HE GAWN". It's a perfect experience. Someone over at OS uploaded a ton of random team specific stuff too. I'm excited for that first game against Texas, and to give up a bomb, to hear the Natural music in the background. Anyway, can't wait to play more tonight. They made Sale a beast in that game. #2 on my current list of games to get, behind Mass Effect 3. Might use my bookstore credit to get it, since it'll be wasted otherwise. Also, I'm holding of for the OS Full Minors.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 12:14 AM) Skip Bayless ‏ @RealSkipBayless Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Reigning MVP must be better in 4th q. 1-5, big FT miss, Bulls lose to half-hearted DHoward at home. Yes, Korver cold but this one on DRose. i looooove when you analyze, Skip. I seriously hate Skip Bayless.

Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Fluff.

I agree with the above...and that list is what makes me want to do the full 100. It seems all-time is winning so. We could do All-Time first, see how that works, then a current. How do we do this though that will instill discussion, debate, and not losing focus over the course of huge lists.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) I command you to take a day or an evening and watch everything you can -- just remember how great that was and still is, and you'll know not to sweat the small stuff. It's so amazing that we all got to witness that and we of all franchises know that that can be a once in a lifetime chance. If that is the case, then so be it; it'll be all the sweeter. Sure we need to and should push for as many titles as humanly possible, but I think this board is too hard to please...I think that's the penalty for knowing too much Just think back to that time and I think you won't feel so negative for a while. By the way...that team was in a similarly awkward position to us. Trade Carlos Lee, lose Magglio, sign a bunch of guys that weren't exactly stars (JD being an exception) and there you have it, a fourth place team, right? I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Let's just let the season play out Paulie = Frank (elder statesmen in clubhouse) Reed = Jenks Danks = Buehrle De Aza = Pods Viciedo = ...Carl Everett? Morel = Crede Alexei = Uribe

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2012 -> 03:53 PM) It's so amazing on the ps3.
