Holy crap the Bears look awful

Defense has to get a stop here.

Well this could not possibly be going any worse.

Jim Schwartz has to be fired right? Horrendous football coach.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 04:39 PM) That was incredibly long. But seriously. It is going to be so hard to miss the playoffs this year. It wouldn't be if the Bulls would just trade Deng and would have left Teague and James as the only PGs on the roster.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 12:14 PM) yes, he needs to get out of the NBA quickly. He needs to be playing 35 mpg for the Bulls this year...and then they can get rid of him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 04:36 PM) Keep thrusting until she tells you to stop. Lol.

b****es be crazy. So girl I've been seeing for close to a month now (so obviously not serious but potentially seems to be heading in that direction) tells me last night that she is scared about how fast the relationship is moving and is kind of freaked out and wants to try to take things slower. Not exactly what I wanted to hear but I kind of get it because we have been hanging out a ton despite not knowing each other very long. However, when we hung out on Saturday she was the one who asked me to come over to her place to watch a movie on Sunday night and we also have plans on Thursday (at her suggestion) for her to come to my place to cook dinner. So yeah, have no idea what to do with that one.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 10:54 AM) With the co-ordinator, I don't know. Is it the scheme or lack of talent, and is the lack of talent his fault? IMO, bringing a lame duck head coach back is all you need to know about what they think of their programs. No way a basketball coach gets away with that much failure. And if the reason is they don't think they could attract the right guy right now, why is it going to get better with more failure? This year was mostly about youth and lack of talent. All of the corners that played were either freshmen or sophomores which makes it tough. And then when you factor in that not a single one of the dlinemen who started for Illinois at the beginning of the year (Teko Powell who became a starter part way through the year looks like he will be a solid Big 10 DT) is a Big 10 caliber starter you are going to have a bad defense. There are coaches who obviously would have improved the D but it would have been horrible regardless of who was coaching it. The problem with Banks (and Beckman) is that last years D had a ton of talent and was still pretty bad. Terry Hawthorne, Justin Green, Michael Buchanan, Akeem Spence and Glenn Foster from last year's defense all made NFL rosters and I imagine Jonathan Brown will as well. No excuse for that defense not being better than it was.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 04:33 PM) Go Duke, Michigan St and Auburn. I want to see an Auburn-Alabama title game. And then laugh when that state burns itself to the ground following the game. That would be such a fitting way for the BCS to end. A complete clusterf*** in which nobody is happy.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 01:12 PM) I didn't see the game last night. How dafuq did the bulls win? They shot well and played really hard and the Heat completely no showed.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 10:48 PM) I had a feeling these idiots would bring it against the Heat. Carlos -- pretend it's the playoffs against elite competition, please. Bulls have played well but this game is mostly about the Heat giving absolutely no effort whatsoever.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 05:57 PM) Rose just created a s*** storm for him and the Bulls come playoff time (unless were lucky and they dont make it) with these comments. What the hell was he thinking? Nobody has ever accused Rose of being intelligent.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 03:54 PM) Major mistake by her based on what I've read by someone with major connections to FSU and other FBS programs. What is that?

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 12:42 PM) The last two losses make me think they actually do suck. Scoring 93 against Cleveland should be more than enough, and without Davis their frontcourt should destroy the Pelicans. If that keeps up, tanking could be viable, especially if they trade Deng. If you trade Hinrich to force Thibs to play Teague and James and trade Deng this team will lose a ton of games. Hinrich sucks but he is an all star compared to Teague and James.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 11:43 AM) Depressing that the ad at the top of my soxtalk page for the nba thread was the Bulls/Heat matchup tonight. DRose and Lebron were on it. Sigh. Go Heat!

Roy Williams absolutely owns Tom Izzo. Tom Izzo is now 0-7 against Roy Williams since Roy went to UNC and not a single one of those games has been competitive.

Lol at that play not being called a travel. Miller walked before he dribbled and then took about 5 steps after he dribbled. Inexcusable to blow that lead against a bad GT team last night but also sucks to lose on a play like that.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 09:36 PM) It's a transition year, losses like this are going to be more common than not. It's just disappointing that so many of the mistakes were by our juniors. Tracy's clearly never going to figure it out. Just doesn't have great basketball instincts. He has his moments but just no real feel for playing PG and not a good enough shooter to be great off the ball. After 3 years of starting I really hope Starks or Tate beats him out for the PG position next year. Tate needs to live in the gym and just become a threat to knock down shots and he will easily be better than Abrams next year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 09:32 PM) The problem is the Illini bench outside of Tate is about the worst I've seen in Champaign. With the way that fouls are being called now, you have to go more than 6 deep. That's the problem when you have an all freshmen bench and none of them are instant impact type guys. Thankfully Nunn is starting to come along a bit and Hill is really talented but this roster just isn't very good thanks to the 2011 class being a complete bust for Illinois.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 09:30 PM) Recruiting is such a crap shoot though. Tough loss but I think Groce can build on it unlike some other coaches. Eh, good coaches and recruiters consistently get good players. Groce did a terrible job down the stretch tonight but Weber left him very little talent for this season (with a decent roster for last year) that Groce did a good job with. We only have 3 scholarship players left from Weber and they are all very limited basketball players.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 09:23 PM) Double win for fathom tonight. Just terrible by Groce and Abrams. Remember when we all thought that Weber landed a really good class in 2011? Yeah, not so much. Shaw, Langford and Djimde weren't even close to being Big 10 level players, Henry transferred after doing nothing for 2 years, and Tracy hasn't developed his PG skills since his freshman year of high school and while he isn't a bad player he is basically an undersized SG that can't shoot. Awesome.

Horrendous loss. Poor coaching by Groce down the stretch tonight after making great adjustments at halftime. Nice that the refs let GT's big men travel every time they touched the ball tonight including on Miller's go ahead shot. Tracy Abrams is incredibly disappointing, he has been terrible all year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 05:34 PM) La Tank Unfortunately it appears the office is gung ho on making the playoffs this year. So freaking stupid and short sighted.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 12:22 PM) Haven't seen this mentioned but Teague is heading to the Iowa Energy.... There goes Tank Commander Teague....for now Disappointing. I would love to see the Bulls give Hinrich away soon. Hinrich is a pretty bad player these days but the Teague/James duo would be so bad it would actually be funny to watch and on the positive side would lead to a lot of losses.
