Jake Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) If all you're doing is "reporting" rumor, you're not better than any regular joe who reads/listens to random people talk about basketball. "I'm hearing Rose is going to return early!" ESPN has a problem with this reporting stuff. Broussard and SAS are notorious for throwing stuff against the wall, hoping it will stick. I guess if you're right 1 out of 10 times, you can always point to that one time you're right, but at some point you lose credibility and people will tune out. Sadly, there's a decent size chunk of this country that finds SAS and Bayless entertaining enough to watch on a daily basis. I don't know who these people are or what sort of IQ they have, but they clearly need help/need to get a life. Well there is a thing called hate-watching, which is almost certainly a big driver of that show's ratings. People just wanting to get pissed off about the stupid things those two say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is an ex-teammate and they are talking crap from last season, it can only be Nazr he is talking to, as everyone else is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad's client is Kobe's personal coach and Kobe's workouts are insane. Kobe is insane. Jimmy Buckets reminds me of Kobe...its why I love Buckets so much. Just an insane will to be great and he'll put in all the work possible to get the most out of his body. Butler also seems to have a hilarious personality and is great in front of the mic. He's the anti rose. I'm never worried about what Buckets is going to say is. I hope he takes another step forward this year!!! If he does, he's going to land some mega endorsement deals. Former member of Bulls could be a former coach, right? Someone from Thibbs staff, potentially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 On a sidenote, you listen to people talk about Jimmy in practice and it is very clear that he's the alpha and he's anointing this his team. And based upon what other players say, it seems that they understand it is becoming his team. Funny how unlikeable Rose is vs. Pau / Buckets / Noah / Taj. Yet Bulls players clearly and utterly protect Rose so that protection has to mean they think relatively positively of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty accurate about a lot of the Bulls stuff and was one of the first to throw it. Cowley is an ass and his style of reporting is terrible, but the other Bulls reporters wouldn't cover anything unless it was positive. And that is pretty typical of JR ran franchises, the media doesn't cover / report anything except for stuff that has been blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 First off: After more came out about what a psycho barnes is and everything, I feel bad for laughing at the first story I linked above. Dude sounds like he is probably a chaotic terror to a whole bunch of people. I hope if he does not see jail for this that he gets help. Secondly: I was so pumped last preseason for the Rose factor. Now, I just haven't had much care to watch. Seems like we are jakcing up 3s and going for more possessions. We'll see. We've also been sitting a lot of our starters...which, what a novelty.

Jose Abreu Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Portis has looked very good, but with Niko/Gasol/Noah/Gibson, I don't see him getting more than 5 minutes per game barring injuries/trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already struggle to find enough minutes for our top 4. I think Portis will be playing. What they should do is trade Noah and Taj regardless of where they are in the standings. Noah is gone after the year and Taj can bring back a piece if he proves to be healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
