Because you lucked into the GOAT, Jerry.

So I'm cautiously optimistic about the bulls this year

 

A core of Wade + Butler + RLopez + Rondo could be some exciting ball. If they can fit together a few more of the more unknown pieces it could be a new, more enjoyable team!

 

No more Drose, no more Noah I am happy about.

Here's a good (long) read about the whole case. Based on those text messages she was sending him, I'm not sure i'd find in her favor.

What's abundantly clear is Derrick Rose has some REAL close friends (yuck), and he's a complete moron (not surprising).

I regret defending Rose and will in the future not acknowledge or be supportive of him.

THE MAYOR!

This is my favorite song.

Bosh failed the physical because of signs of continuous clotting. Yikes. Career maybe over. Also having disagreements with team over those reports.

Ugh, that is so sad for him.

Ugh, that is so sad for him.

 

That will really suck if his career is indeed over. I hope it is not as he is great personality in the NBA.

 

That being said, the dude is going to absolutely kill it in broadcasting.

Really sad for Bosh, I hope he is right that reports are wrong, but also that this isn't a serious health issue.

Bosh is on some serious blood clot medication, it's no minor thing

Aww man. Duncan and KG gone from NBA. I remember probably 3 games of the nba without those guys in it. The paxson three vs. the suns, the knicks knocking us out in 94, and some random game i was courtside when i was too young to know how old i was.

 

They were nba life for so long.

Add Kobe to that and there is about 60 years of NBA history walking out the door.

Yeah! That is like Brady, Manning and Brees hanging it up at once.
