QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 02:12 PM) I just came here to post this. How the f*** do the Lakers always benefit from s*** like this? How do they always get exactly what they want? How did that just happen? What the f*** what the f*** what the f***. I don't get it. This is why I enjoyed the vetoed Paul trade.

Derek Fisher to Houston for Jordan Hill AND a first round pick. What the f***? Edit: Fisher and a pick for Hill*

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 05:29 AM) Won't spoil the Mass Effect 3 ending, but my god what a letdown. Absolutely terrible compared to Mass Effect 2. I've owned it since Sunday, haven't had time to play (earliest I've gotten to bed this week was 4 AM). I don't want to play the end now...

Mad props to the team and JL3. He can stay now. This is the best team in the league. No one else takes down a Healthy heat down their starting backcourt like that. NO ONE. If Westbrook and Harden are out for the Thunder, they don't win and they still would have Durant.

This is awesome.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405...2404266836.html D'Antoni spittin' fire. Nevermind, fake. But awesome.

A real backup QB, a #1 WR... If Emery snaps up Mario and drafts an OL, he may be Chicago's favorite person come next year.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 10:00 AM) Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole reports it's down to the Bears and Bucs for Jackson. If the Bears signed Jackson and Mario somehow, and then drafted really well for the O-Line, some secondary help, and some lineback help, they'd be looking great. With Emery, I'm willing to roll the dice on this.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 01:27 AM) Was Gerald Green's dunk posted on here? That might be one of the most impressive athletic dunks I've ever see. He was looking down into the rim. It seemed like his hangtime was forever. Unbelievable. Much better than Griffin on Perkins IMO. It destroyed Griffin's dunk.

If only we were the Royals or Pirates.

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.
