QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 08:15 AM) certain people wonder what he has done to deserve the extension Not so much that. They have basically signed Stan Bowman to the time where it will be up to him to rebuild this when all his players are past his prime. Seems only appropriate he ride this out.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) I am all for having 42 and 21 displayed in all parks, but do the numbers really have to be retired? Let the individual teams do that. Wouldn't it make more of an impact on the legacy of Jackie Robinson if a player wore 42 in his honor, and a broadcaster mentioned it rather than having no one wear it except everyone wear it one day a year? I feel this way as well. I go back and forth on retiring jersey numbers in general, but I'm leaning toward favoring retiring jerseys, not numbers. But I digress, to me it would be sufficient to honor these players in other ways. Clemente is well honored in the MLB.

This Super Bowl could be worse than the last Bronco appearance. The Panthers are just steamrolling everybody.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) It's clueless fans like yourself that support Kenny Williams running the White Sox for as long as he has. You don't know something will get better until you change it. The Bulls need to change their FO. The White Sox need to get rid of Kenny. Both teams need to tank and rebuild. Going halfway is a really sh*** plan. In regards to my plan: it would not involve Tony Snell starting on my team. I'm going to write this off as you being not very observant, but I am arguably the most vocal proponent of blowing up the White Sox organization top to bottom in order to create a champion from scratch. Also, the White Sox and their situation have next to nothing to do with where the Bulls are. Basketball and baseball are not the same sport, it turns out.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 01:45 PM) Welcome to the Garpax apologist group now Tell us more about your brilliant championship plan. Oh wait, that's right. You don't have one.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 10:06 AM) You fundamentally don't understand how the NBA works. No team that is any good trades for stars. They simply don't have the assets to do it. Pau to the Lakers is the rare exception and everyone agreed Memphis got screwed in the trade and something fishy was going on. And every time a Pau to Lakers type trade happens, the odds of it happening again decreases.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) OK I am calling bulls***. Don't tell me how competent Gar/Pax are when they hire Hoiberg and don't make one move to get the correct personnel for his system. Yeah, the NBA doesn't work that way. It's not like baseball, where you have an excess of pieces you can move across multiple levels. NBA teams have 12 guys. The Bulls have very little in terms of desirable pieces. In fact, I would argue the only tradeable piece the Bulls have is Gasol. The Bulls would arguably have to draft Hoiberg system players in concert with trading what they can. Right now they have nothing tradable.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:34 PM) You are a garpax apologist bro. Enjoy being mediocre. I'm not your bro. And every team is mediocre without transcendent players. The Bulls have none. Until they can draft one, this is what you get every year.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) What's his system? http://www.coachesclipboard.net/HoibergTra...DragScreen.html Basically, the personnel on this team isn't right. GarPax have committed to changing the team by hiring Hoiberg.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) I know like Draymond Green right? How many teams passed on Draymond Green? You're so good at complaining about a front office that continually makes the playoffs often in a top 5 seed. Unless you can magically turn this team into the Warriors or the Cavs, you have no plan.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) All of you GarPax lovers, nice draft picks! Niko, Snell, McDermott! Great playing tonight! Those are the types of picks you make when you're above average for so long. The Bulls would have to be awful to get a decent draft pick.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Why would anyone want to keep Hoiberg? Unless he's your friend I guess. His system is wasted on a team like this.

The Blackhawks are even in 5 on 5 on the season. That needs to improve.

Old team, new tricks. Keep Hoiberg. Lose everyone not named Butler

Blackhawks have a backup goalie problem. 4-0 Panthers

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) Meaning you don't want to see them in the playoffs in general because you don't like them or because they're a tough matchup against the Hawks? I would love to see Florida in the playoffs. Tallon really has done a great job rebuilding that organization I don't want to play them in the playoffs. Thankfully we likely won't have to.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) Darling not having a good night. Hawks defense isn't helping him much either, but 2 of those goals he should of definitely had. Agreed. These teams are even with Crawford in goal. Luckily we aren't in the East, because I don't want either Florida team in the playoffs this season.

3-0 Panthers after the first.

The Panthers are completely clowning us in the first.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) He seemed to be fine with the locker room, it was the front office that he was extremely bad with. Players play hard for him The Rose/Butler rift was as bad if not worse under Thibs. Butler is just so petty.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) Borrowing from hockey, I think he ends up going the Mike Keenan route of bouncing from team to team every few years because he either burns the players or management out. The funny thing is, Thibs would be an excellent assistant under a guy like Hoiberg. He's a savant at X's and O's. He's terrible at locker room type things.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) After the way LeBron bullied Blatt, does anyone really see a strong coach like Thibs working out in CLE? I sure don't. It's telling that the Thibodeau rumors have been sparse since his firing in Chicago.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) Ha what a scummy move by them, negotiating behind the HC's back. Anyone thing they're better off with Lue than Blatt? If you do this I think you have to hire someone like Thibs, or at least do it at the end of the year. Which is crazy to me because they have locked themselves into Lue. Really stupid move. They're not a championship team either way with the way the Western Conference juggernauts are playing.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) It's gonna be thibs Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA 5m5 minutes ago Assistant Ty Lue has agreed to a multi-year deal as new Cavaliers head coach, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Already calls for Thibodeau. Whatever. Good luck with that 2nd grade offense. Edit: Nevermind, they have signed Lue to a long term deal.
