QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 8, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) Why should a young athlete have to wait another year earning a ton of money for a college but little for himself? Because those would be the rules and requirements set by the employer (NBA).

Adding an additional year requirement seems like an easy compromise to this debate...

van gundy is insanely annoying

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 4, 2012 -> 10:02 PM) They could just use Derrick Rose. I hate to say it, but this is all on Thibs. He ran these players completely dead tired, and the team is breaking down in the playoffs. His balls to the walls, no-holds barred, must win every game attitude has caught up to him. You just can't play like that in a crazy season like this with b2b2b games and 4 games in 5 nights and 5 games in a week. Humans need f***ing rest. I like the way Thibs coaches, but he did not adjust on the fly. The players are breaking down, and for good reason. Gotta disagree with you slightly. Yeah, there were times where he rode players, particularly Deng, pretty hard and coulda sat them more at the ends of games. BUT they NEED any slight edge they can get in order to have a chance to beat the heat, particularly home court. So, I disagree with criticizing the need to go for the best record, but yeah, there were definitely times where certain players could be rested more, particularly with such a capable bench. Anyways, I only watched maybe about 5 minutes of last game and none of this one. Just can't. Too depressing...

Truly devastating on so many levels. I'm just glad I'm mature enough to move past it rather quickly because I know the younger me woulda been feelin verry heartbroken... It's just scary to think what player we're getting when he comes back. I can only hope he comes back the same but so many factors...the severity of the injury, the number of players who are never the same afterwards, how poorly he played after injuries this year, how huge freak athleticism and speed are to his game...make me not wanna get my hopes up. But times like these I cling to the glory years. Popping in the 90s dvds is therapeutic

Does anyone know if they carry the new era White Sox mini cap? It's like the authentic cap, same materials (not plastic), but way smaller obviously. Seems to be the only team not available on the new era website. I'm starting to wonder if they only made one batch and the white sox ones sold out.

That Taj spin

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) Excuses excuses....he wont go to the hoop when LeBron guards him, injury or not. This is a repeat of games 2-5 of the playoffs. I recognize he's rusty, but he's still afraid to go to th hole, and that isnt going to change. Wh are you so afraid to criticize the guy? I clearly stated that hes playing like s***. Didn't know anyone considers that a compliment... Anyways, great run be the bench, reminiscent of the last game

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 08:55 PM) Rose is completely afraid of LeBron. I hate to say it, but I don't think there is a chance we can beat them in the playoffs. No? He's playing like s***, clearly affected by not playing for a month and coming off injuries. Not sure how that translates to being afraid of lebron...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 03:26 PM) What happened to Hamilton? Didn't see him down the stretch, what did I miss? Hence his absolute worthlessness.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 02:58 PM) That one's on Rose. C'mon now... Anyways, words cannot express my hatred towards hamilton.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 16, 2012 -> 12:38 AM) Korver has far exceeded expectations this year as well I'm watching different games than you :/

I care about everyone's brackets.

By the way, whoever thinks lebron should ever have his name along with the all-time, absolute greats WITHOUT having any sort of killer instinct is just plain bein' ridiculous. Such a lame move to have to defer to wade whenever it's crunch time. And you CANNOT ever argue that passing the ball to udonis freakin' haslem for a freakin' jump shot JUST inside the 3 point line for a game-winner instead of lebron, the most physically gifted and talented player of all time in his prime, is EVER the right basketball decision. He's never gonna have the mentality to be THE BEST...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 15, 2012 -> 04:12 PM) However, we can be confident that people in Chicago will continue to blame the Bulls' GM for not getting a deal done for Gasol to help out the team this year. You CAN and SHOULD blame Bulls management for their general trade ineptitude and inability to ever creatively improve the team. hamilton has shown his worthlessness, for example, so maybe creatively bringing in a little bit of scoring help without sacrificing too much woulda been nice. Just please don't ask me what that move shoulda been cuz I'm not a GM, nor to I get payed to be one, and fan trade scenarios always sound ridiculous anyways. You can argue that they have the best record so no changes should be made, but I think that says more about Coach Thibs and the winning culture and coaching he's brought. Give him more a little bit more talent to work with instead of broken-down parts and he'll maximize it and be much more capable of getting past the big, obvious obstacle in our way...

Is that new Sox merchandise store across the street from the stadium next to the bar thing open? Thanks.

Just go outside. When drunk, I pee anywhere outside...sometimes in parking lots or on streets in plain site.

lmao, well this sure took an interesting, dramatic turn. I'm just not gonna buy the woe-is-me martyr act though. I did just wanna apologize about my basketball-retarded and deandrejordan4life comment. Really was meant to be corny and not serious at all. Mostly just a response to when dj4l states his ridiculous opinions as fact. My bad though...can I just blame it on the a-a-a-alcohol?? :/ And there really is no excuse for lebron passing up a shot at the end of any game to potentially win it to pass it to udonis freakin'haslem from that far out for a freakin' jump shot, open or not...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 02:47 PM) Nope, Nope, Nope. And I'm sure Kyle is going to come in here and get on me for talking in absolutes. But NOBODY was watching those teams consistently. I won't say every night. It would be damn near impossible to watch EVERY game of any season. But I don't want to hear it. The Bulls from 99 to I think it was '05 ( or what year was it that they made the playoffs under Skiles the first time?). They were Charlotte Bobcats bad. Oh my goodness. I still remember when Corey Bengamin and Khalid El-Amin got starts. You all are liars. The truth will set you free. You're a lil bit basketball-retarded. I shall now refer to you as deandrejordan4life. I'll take kornel david takin' the game-winner over ANYBODY...

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 12:49 AM) I agree. Non-asians, especially whites, should dictate whether something is offensive towards asians or not...

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 12, 2012 -> 04:59 PM) Boozer misses the WIDE open Watson and instead calls a time out. Good awareness about calling the timeout quickly, but goddamn you'd think he'd have looked at Watson being all alone for an easy layup on the other side of the floor. Quite possibly the most worthless 20 points of all time as he continues his atrocious matador defense, dumb mistakes, and long spurts of complete disappearance. His lack of defense alone negates whatever positives he may bring... And that hair in a can s*** he sprays on his head is ridiculous

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) My main gripe with Deng getting is it that he's playing worse than he was last year, but getting more credit somehow. He's been underrated for awhile though, so it's tough to get too worked up about him finally getting some respect. You're CLEARLY not watching him play this season...probably just lookin' at the numbers... Lin is so solid right now. dantoni sure is riding him like his job is on the line (my lame humor).
