Yeah, OKC can definitely win the last two at home. But getting there after a few gut-wrenching losses will be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya the Deng+ for Bynum was a little far fetched on my part..and the part of the international business times website I fisrt saw the rumor. They had a potential Bynum for Jrue Holiday and Iggy trade, I was thinking if that works then Deng, CJ, and the Bobcats pick might work....this all coming after my morning jog/fog...If you see me post before 10am, disregard it, I'm out of it lol As far as todays game, I got OKC by 10+. I see the Thunder playing the kind of D they played in the 2nd half of Game 1...and if they do win tonight I think it goes to a game 7 and that games a toss up.

Quin Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Think of this way. We either have to deal with more LeBron love than usual...or we get to relish in his absolute collapse. Wilt was the first player to lose a 3-1 series lead, so it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 That really is the problem, most of us make a choice to post here. The only way another site will get off the ground is if you have dedicated posters who are volume posting, and not just about the Bulls. Since, I am not going to repost the same information on another site (off topic stuff), it means that the other site is just a basketball site. If its just going to be a Bulls site with predominately the same posters as Soxtalk, it may as well be a sub-forum of this site. This thread had 8k posts from start to finish, during that time Id guess that Soxtalk had 100k posts. Just going to need a bunch of people who are solely dedicated to talkbulls to get it off the ground, because Im not sure 8,000 posts is enough material over a year to keep people interested. It is only 20 posts a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It's a shame Lebron douched his way to Miami because he has been borderline dominant in the playoffs. Wade has been average and outside Game 4, you forget Bosh is on the floor. Say what you want about other teams and injuries and the short season, but Lebron has earned this ring with clutch play. /trying to jinx Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) forum growth should be organic, not forced edit: have one big site called ChicagoSportsTalk or something, capture SoxTalk, TalkBulls, TalkBears, etc. all under one big umbrella of subforums instead of a bunch of loosely-connected sites. oh and implement tapatalk.

Soxtalk has ads, TalkBulls does not and I don't see it having some anytime soon. This is one of the most trafficked threads on the entire board. Money is good. PS, I just clicked a Tempur-Pedic ad.

This was more or less suggested but was found to require too much programming prowess/money and could possibly negate the popularity that Soxtalk has.

Jake Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Basically we just need to do something to convince some of the awesome posters from this thread to migrate over. To me, the fact that those posters may be at TalkBulls and the chance that I can navigate topics in separate threads was tantalizing enough for me.

Soxbadger Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) To each their own obviously, but when you have almost 10 years invested into a message board, there has to be a pretty compelling reason to go to the other one. You dont need to change Soxtalk at all, NBA could simply be a sub-forum, like the Buster is a sub-forum of AJ's. (edit) That is if you want to drain from this message board. If you want bullstalk as a separate and distinct message board, you need to hit other NBA boards and try and attract new posters.
