Noah was remarkable tonight and another great performance by Belinelli. Holy crap was Johnson awful for the Nets. He absolutely killed them on both ends of the court tonight.

The end of the Golden State/Denver game was nuts. Golden State tried to do everything they could to blow that game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 08:30 PM) The thing is, it wasn't even the backcourt play that hurt the Bulls tonight. The frontline was just non-existent out there. The defense was awful and no rebounding presence at all. You just can't let a team like the Nets out rebound you. That's just silly. This. Noah got absolutely destroyed by Lopez last night. He and Taj also combined for only 5 rebounds in 41 minutes. That just can't happen.

Unreal play by Nate Robinson down the stretch. Nice choke job by Wallace, Evans and Watson. Watson doesn't miss that dunk and this game was over.

I absolutely love the 49ers draft. They are cleaning up. If Lattimore is able to recover from that knee injury he will be a monster for San Francisco.

Of course the f***ing Packers get Eddie Lacy with the 61st overall pick.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 12:34 PM) Why is it every year the Miami Heat have entire teams blow up in front of them so that they can walk to a title, while they never seem to have it happen to them? Hell Wade himself used to get hurt on a regular basis. Bosh missed a ton of time in the playoffs last year against the Pacers and Celtics but they were able to survive. It helps to have by far and away the best player in basketball.

Sounds like Westbrook tore his meniscus and is done for the playoffs. Congrats to the Miami Heat on their 2013 NBA championship.

Stackhouse and Wallace are laughably bad.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 04:48 PM) Ha, seemed to work out OK. On a totally unrelated note....anyone know anything about Abdel Nader of NIU and formerly of Glenbrook North? He's visiting this weekend. He is terrible. Not kidding, awful player.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 11:55 AM) The good news is you live in a great area to get on the el and go either North or West. I typically do just that but also want to find some go to bars in my area.

Any Chicagoans want to give me a list of their favorite bars in the River North area? I'm new to that area and have hit up a few places but would like some recommendations as well.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 01:44 PM) Could you imagine how ridiculous Marvel would be right now if they had retained the rights to Spiderman, X-Men, Fantastic 4? Especially since unlike Fox they would probably do a consistently good job with the X-Men movies and would make a not s***ty Fantastic 4 movie.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 01:10 PM) Ah I didn't see it. I just remember the US release date was supposed to be the second week of November. Obviously that could change. Thor 2's release date is November 8 in the US.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) That trailer said October. It is coming out in November in the US. It looks like that trailer is for the UK which often has different release dates then the US. Iron Man 3 is being released in the UK a week before it is released in the US, same thing happened with The Avengers.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 08:54 PM) Boozer just blocked the s*** out of Wallace. Yeah, no he didn't. I'm not sure he even touched the ball. He fouled Wallace and it was Butler who blocked that. Defense has been terrific by the whole team tonight though.

I still can't believe how much the change to the 3 day format ruined the draft for me. Just no where near the excitement for the draft that I used to have.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 06:13 PM) I don't even get how rose can look his teammates in the eye. You have Noah playing on one leg (dude is a f***ing man), Gibson rushing back to play, Belinelli isn't 100%, Hinrich is beat up. It makes me sick to see Rose cut some jokes on the sideline. I won't write-off the series just yet. This Bulls team is very up and down. Tough to win though when the other team has the 2 best players on the court. Deng better step up cause he was absolutely terrible yesterday. Boozer was good. Defensively Hinrich and Nate were absolutely atrocious. Boozer was very good offensively yesterday. His help defense and positioning was terrible.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) Williams \ Lopez show Nobody on the Bulls showed any ability at all to stay in front of Williams that half. You simply can't switch Belinelli on him though, it was comical watching Belinelli try to stay in front of him.

Bulls getting absolutely destroyed right now.

Awesome start to the NBA playoffs. The Warriors/Nuggets game was a lot of fun.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 03:42 PM) IIRC we told Tracy McGrady we weren't interested that same offseason Tracy McGrady said no to Chicago. The Bulls tried incredibly hard to land him.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 08:10 AM) Kentucky adds Dominique Hawkins to their recruiting class, which makes 8. Isn't ranked on the major lists but was named Mr. Basketball in Kentucky. Not sure how many minutes he expects to get. His other offers were from Purdue, South Carolina, Morehead St, Western Kentucky and Tennessee Tech. I imagine he sees 5-10 minutes a game because Kentucky doesn't have a ton of depth at guard despite their ridiculous amount of talent. They have 3 top 10 guards coming in between the Harrison twins and James Young but they really don't return any guards on their roster so they will need someone else to give them some minutes. Of course if they get Wiggins that changes things.

Eric Gordon is terrible (not really but I just watched him give the Lakers the game down the stretch).

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 02:08 PM) Well, once the NBA stuff sorts itself out things will obviously be very different. I think there are a few interesting teams at the top. Kentucky certainly has an obscene amount of NBA-level talent. I can see Florida being a little like Louisville this year in that they don't have a ton of pro prospects, but they'll be able to go deep into their bench with good athletes that can contribute. Arizona's frontcourt is pretty loaded and their starting backcourt should be solid. If Duke can get someone like Plumlee or Jefferson to anchor their defense, they've got a ton of firepower. To me, the top is a little deeper than this year's group. It's kind of a mess once you get down around 10 or so though unless some guys unexpectedly stay in school. One other note for your write up (note I'm not nitpicking just passing on information) is that Tarik Black is transferring from Memphis.
