Hate this pick, white defensive backs suck.

I'm sure this has been commented on but I still absolutely hate that the draft is spread out over 3 days. I loved when it was all day on Saturday. Also, ESPN has ruined some of the intrigue by showing the guys celebrating before the pick is announced. Takes away a lot of the drama and mystique of the draft.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) Is that who he wanted them to take? Oh, and if the Lions find a way to get Bowers, that would be comical. It would be but they already have solid defensive ends and have some pretty big needs in the secondary at OL. Doubt they would take him but that would be tremendous value just like Fairley so you never know and if you have a healthy Bowers, Williams, KVB, Suh and Fairley your corners become a lot less important.

Congratulations Liuget, not sure the 3-4 is the best fit for him but happy to see him go in the 1st round.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 08:23 PM) Defend the pass by rushing the passer, I guess. I like that pick for the Lions in the sense that it will make their team better, but you have to get someone to protect Stafford and you need some people in the secondary that don't suck, don't you? Yes, but Fairley is a beast and when that type of talent falls to you at 13 I think it is generally a mistake to pass and you can usually find solid corners in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Beast Dts? Not so much.

The Lions have the most talented pair of DTs in NFL history. Holy crap.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) I was mainly speaking on how much the scouts, fans etc crapped on him prior to the draft, yet Cam Newton who wasnt as successful and never had a year as good at Tebow did and has the same mechanical issues is a consensus #1 pick. This just simply isn't true. Newton had a higher QB rating this year than Tebow did in any of his three years as a starter (their passing numbers were very similar, but Newton did it with less weapons around him and from the games I watched without near as many shovel passes or one yard completions that his receivers then broke for TDs), and was a much more effective runner than Tebow was in any of Tebow's three years as a starter.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 11:13 AM) If the Bears don't draft O-Line with their top pick, I murder someone. I'd actually be fine with taking a DT if the value isn't there at OL at pick 29. They need to address the OL in the draft and FA but you also shouldn't reach just because you have a need.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 10:31 AM) Ibaka is going to just continue to get better. He's showing nice development and the upside is there with his athletismism. The upside of that entire team is tremendous. Durant is 22, Ibaka is 21, Westbrook is 22, Harden is 21, and Perkins (assuming they keep him long term) is the elder statesman at 26. Out of the guys in their rotation only Collison and Nazr Mohammed are older than 26. Cole Aldrich and Mullens are looking like busts but if either of them can develop into a good center that team is set for a very long run at the top.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 07:03 PM) Sometime before I die a highly touted White Sox prospect will come up and dominate from day one. I'm thinking 2018. They didn't dominate but Konerko (if you count him as Sox prospect), Lee and Ordonez were all good pretty much right off the bat. Ordonez wasn't great his rookie year but was damn good from his 2nd year on.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) The Bulls need to improve and work in Boozer. The guy is a very very efficient offensive player and unfortunately, given the team wasn't able to practice with him and hasn't had a lot of time playing with both Noah and Boozer, they just haven't developed the appropriate offensive rhythm with Carlos. I expect him to play significantly better next year (from an offensive efficiency standpoint) and I still think they'll get him going better the rest of the postseason. Boozer is a guy who has produced pretty well, from a historic standpoint, in the playoffs and against longer players (he's had some strong playoff series against the long Lakers). He had one strong playoff series against the Lakers two years ago, well offensively anyways. He was horrible last year and bad 3 years against them on the offensive end and he has always been absolutely horrible against the Lakers defensively.

Rose looks really good tonight. So have Deng, Noah and Bogans. Boozer is still a worthless piece of crap though.

It is bizarre to me that an athlete can get to Luongo's level and be such a mental midget.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 12:27 AM) So, Noah goes crazy. Boozer does good (15 and 13 is good) Deng gets 16. Rose only gets 15. That injury had to be bad if he only got 4 FTs and shot so many 3s. He just needs to rest up so he can go full strength back home. Boozer was awful. It took him 15 shots to get those 15 pts, he added nothing defensively, and turned it over 4 times. Then when you add in the bunnies he missed and he hurt the Bulls again today.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) Neither Boston nor Miami plays defense anything like Indiana does. Do you mean in terms of the style of defense they play? Because both of those teams were much better defensively than Indiana this year. Indiana was a middle of the pack defensive team.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 05:09 PM) "Both Walker and manager Ozzie Guillen have pointed to the fearsome starting pitching the White Sox have faced over the past week as a reason for the offensive cooling." NOTHING WE CAN DO! IT WAS JUST "FEARSOME" PITCHING! Haha, from top to bottom, this team is just a joke. The entire organization likes to talk a big game but they do nothing but make excuses and back down when they get challenged.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Am I wrong in thinking Grace is absurd for thinking that was an error? Yes

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) At this point, you fire Walker with the hope of salvaging Beckham's career. I don't care if hitting coaches don't make a difference, but why not try before you eventually give up on Beckham after another 1,000 ABs. I'm not sure they make much of a difference either but it sure as hell is clear that Walker sucks at helping hitters make adjustments.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) Bulls have looked horrid all series. Rose is being too much of a hog and the offense is way too stagnant. This is just disgusting. I hope it is just Indiana matching up well agains the Bulls because if they play like this, they won't make it much furhter in the playoffs. And while people are acting like the Pacers are playing the best they can possibly play it isn't like they are really playing over their heads. They aren't making a lot of tough shots and they haven't shot a high percentage throughout the series. They have played good defense and been very physical and the Bulls haven't really done a great job responding until very late in games.

Carlos Boozer is f***ing garbage.

I f***ing can't stand Carlos Boozer. He is awful. And I love that he yells give me that s*** as Foster rips the ball away from him. And we have 4 more years of watching this garbage. Love the rest of the roster but I can't stand him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) Lol. If you say so. You don't have to be the best player to win the MVP. If that's the case then give it to LeBron. And please for the love of the devil don't tell me you think Rose is or has had a better year than LeBron. I don't think you got the point of that post at all. It is ridiculous to base an argument of who is a better player based on being in the "MVP discussion."

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 10:35 PM) Lol, yes it's legitimate that someone who hates the bulls would not like their best player. But arguing that a guy who isn't even in the MVP conversation is better than the 22 year old clear favorite is moronic. Steve Nash won two MVPs. In neither season was he the best player in the league or even close to the MVP.

Finish this one and get an early lead in game 6 and the Canucks are going to start pissing themselves.

Hawks are in beast mode right now.
