    Nets Get Picks To Trade For Melo

    One problem with the NBA is that it's very difficult to rebuild. In the NFL getting 4 1st rounders, or even 4 1st day picks would be a massive talent influx for your team. In the NBA, unless those 4 picks are in the top 15 then odds are you just got 4 guys to fill in the 7-15 spots on your...

    Haha, I'm busy working not trying to snub you. I have four jobs, so I've not had much time for posting, and I have to post on my own blog first, then realgm where I moderate and then I post here, so when I get real busy I tend to fall off the fae of the earth.

    Progress report on Tom Thibodeau's five keys

    What's impressive about the offense so far in preseason is that we're doing it without Boozer who was the primary offensive addition. Korver helps some too, but Korver's played far better than ever in the past.

    TBJ predicts bulls will go 43-39

    It would take a whole lot of injuries for things to be that bad.

    Official Chicago Bears (3-0) @ New York Giants (1-2) Week 4 Game Thread

    The Bears defense is playing at some elite level, but the Bears offensive line is just brutal. You'd think we'd have some type of quick release plays to just build up some momentum on short routes.

    The Hypocrisy Needs to End.

    It'd be awfully silly to say before the season you expected sub .500, and now criticize analysts for saying the same thing. I didn't post it here, but I figured it'd be a 9-7 or 10-6 type of team. Honestly, the Bears are lucky to have won each of their games in reality to date, and I think...

    Why can't he be MVP?

    The Bulls did get a hell of a lot better this year. They're far closer to the best teams now than they were last season. I think there are only two teams in the NBA who are indisputably better, the Heat and Lakers.

    Taj Gibson - I've been shooting threes

    Exactly, he said he reworked his whole shot to make it quicker and better and is working to extend his range, first out to 18 feet and eventually the three point line. He has a long range plan and a short range plan, but he's going about it exactly the right way. First he's attempting to...

    Hester's Punt Return Touchdown 62 Yards vs Packers

    That was an incredible tackle by the punter too. Typically the punter can never make an open field tackle. At best they hope to slow down the returner or push him out of bounds, but not only did he dive and catch Hester, but as Hester tried to break through it he did a great job of wrapping up...

    5 most overrated players

    As a side note, I think yahoo's writers are generally excellent. I don't know who this guy is, but he isn't a regular, and I couldn't even find this article linked on the live site without going through the link.

    5 most overrated players

    I've heard several people refer to Durant as the 2nd best player in the NBA. His TS% dropped 10% in the playoffs and his PER dropped 10 points. If he put up his season average in efficiency in the playoffs the Thunder would have scored 5 more points per game on the same number of shots, and...

    Bulls Beat #159 - Mayweather vs Johnson

    To illustrate this, just try and punch a foot above your head with force. The change in angle makes it really difficult. It also removes a punch like an uppercut from your repertoire all together.

    More Anthony and Fernandez rumors, same as it ever was

    In terms of contracts, that may not be true. Deng's a good player, but a bad deal, Denver may look at him as a negative. In that case, NYK's offer of Curry + Galinari + Randolph would easily trump the Bulls offer.

    Scalabrine gets non-guaranteed deal with the Bulls

    As I noted, Scalabrine knows the defensive scheme and possibly the offensive one if TT runs something like Rivers. In that case, he can act as a coach on the floor in training camp and provide some value.

    comcast

    It is true. You can find someone else with comcast TV and ask them to create an account for you. It's separate from your billing account, they just basically ask to verify your street address. The quality is outstanding in terms of streaming video on the couple games I watched, you could...

    Bulls Beat #159 - Mayweather vs Johnson

    The site automatically posts my articles by picking them up via RSS. Sometimes that can be annoying, especially if a thread already exists on a topic, but on the other hand, it can help keep discussion going since I write something at least once a day.

    Bulls Beat #159 - Mayweather vs Johnson

    I believe Johnson's father is a 6th degree black belt and Johnson is a 2nd degree black belt. The links on it are confusing. Though if Johnson were actually a 6th degree black belt, than Mayweather would be out in less than 30 seconds.

    Bulls Beat #159 - Mayweather vs Johnson

    James Johnson's father was a 7 time world champion, 6th degree black belt, and Johnson has was undefeated in kickboxing tournaments and won an MMA fight. He's practiced martial arts since birth. Regardless of that, in a street fight, boxing is the most worthless fighting discipline of all...

    5 most overrated players

    I think Derrick Rose probably is a top 5 overrated player in the NBA. People tend to rate him as "superstar". He's no where near a superstar caliber player right now. Maybe he becomes one, and lives up to his rating in the long run, but he's pretty far away at the immediate moment. Kevin...

    What can James Johnson bring to the table?

    It's worth noting most young players commit a lot of stupid fouls. TOs and PFs are the two areas most young players improve in most.
