This made me smile. The Bulls are still in this. They got home court for the entire playoffs. The United Center will rock like Chicago Stadium. Carlos will yell "AND 1" as he slams it in on someone. Joakim will shoot the pistols. Kyle will drop daggers like an assassin. Rip will move the ball. Luol will play with fire, like a warrior. Taj will posterize a fool. Omer will make grown men fear the paint. Jimmy will slow down the enemies in his way. Ronnie will wreak chaos. Johnny will have shots where they shouldn't go in, but do. CJ will make the game elementary. Mike will run a mean pick and roll. Brian will give his teammates strength. And Derrick will be there, pushing them on, inspiring them. And the Bulls will down the Heat.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 29, 2012 -> 12:54 AM) I love Derrick Rose as a player. I wish the best for him. I have friends who went to the same high school with him. I want to see him succeed and become the best in the NBA. Even if he is no longer a part of the Bulls team. If it takes trading him to Phoenix to protect his knee for the next couple of years, I am all for it. I want to see him regain his form and become the fun player I enjoyed watching the last 4 years, even if it means to see him in a Suns uniform. But seriously, can we get JR to sign the entire Phoenix Suns training staff this off season? They have done wonders to Grant Hill, Michael Redd, and Amare's knees, and Nash is still going strong at 38. Time to get rid of this current garbage training staff and get a useful one. Or just Herm Schneider.

On a day where the White Sox wear their red throwbacks...they face the Red Sox. Well, that s***'s confusing. In the first corner... G-FLOYD. 1-3, 3.10 ERA VERSUS THIS DICK. 2-2, 4.56 ERA. SOX ON A LOSING SKID. SHALL THEY REGAIN FORM? AND DEFEAT THEIR DRUNK ASS COUSINS? YES. BECAUSE f*** ALL THE HATERS. THIS. IS. WHITE SOX. BASEBALL. AND NOW. FOR YOUR CHICAGO WHITE SOX. LINEUPS TO BE ANNOUNCED.

Also, no city loves their star like Chicago loves Derrick.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:48 PM) You'd give up your superstar (or all-star(s)) for a player that might never be the same again? SS2k5 is making it sound like GarPax should just dump Rose for scraps.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) Hell, if I had cap room and you offered me Rose right now, I'd take him, unless I was trying to win a title next year. He's a better gamble than anything else i'd get for that money. This.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:45 PM) The NBA has the dumbest GMs out there. And GarPax would join them if they did that.

Korver on FB:

Paul Konerko for hitting coach.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:16 PM) With his size, I wonder if GarPax have to start thinking about dealing him before he goes Iverson. They are similar in size and game, I fear that is who we are looking at. Not a chance in Hell. And Rose is way bigger and stronger than AI.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:13 PM) Yeah, because he kept playing and re-injuring it. Forget about this year. The long-term repercussions are what's important now. After what's happened this year, I don't know how Rose could ever take the court again without having the fear of god inside him of getting hurt again. The mental hurdle for knee injuries is huge. He'll feel that s*** whenever it's about to rain (sensitive to atmospheric pressure changes). But Rose isn't the type that will be scared once he's 100% again.

Rose will only come back stronger and better than ever. He shall make the NBA fear his name. He shall be The Rose that Grew From Concrete.

Nice try Gordo.

How many bats have gone down the 3B line this series?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 06:47 PM) I'm nowhere near as in tune with basketball salaries/contracts as I am baseball. Why would they lose those two? Asik is a FA. As a second rounder though, he can only make $5M his first two years. Taj has one year left.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 06:44 PM) How much of the bench mob do they lose this offseason? Asik and Taj, right? The only one they don't have 100% control over is Asik.

That was sick.

Can we start a Herm Schneider for Bulls Trainer campaign?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) Keep me posted, Q. I PM you all the time. But you think you're too good for me. Asshole. LMAO. MizzouWireless blocks SoxTalk chat room, or I'd be in there every game. So, just gimme two weeks to get home.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 06:07 PM) WTH? Nothing serious, right? During the draft. Right after the Browns pick I blacked out. Remember a little of ambulance, came to in ER. This was immediately after I had just almost completely recovered from one April 5th. Body was getting back to normal, tongue bite was gone, emotions were getting back in order. Then gone. The playoffs was basically the one damn thing that I've been looking forward to since that first seizure because my life's basically gone to hell since then. Couldn't drive home for the few job interviews I had, so I didn't get a summer job. Couldn't bust my ass to get a few jobs here for next year. Life's pretty much sucked. Humber's perfect game was the one time I've been happy this month. Now I was gearing up to watch the Bulls go to war. I refuse to believe they'll just roll over and die.

Honestly though, this weekend can't get much worse for me. Had another seizure, carnival I was helping plan got rained out, now this s***.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 06:01 PM) Even if they do, that's going to be one titanic-sized asterisk attached to the Heat's eventual conference title. It'll be bigger than when the Knicks beat Chicago in '94. f*** the Heat. Patrick Ewing Theory all up in this b****.

Get his ass to Germany.
