Really late reply, but i just saw the thread today and this subject concerns me.

This is really what i was thinking this week. Seattle might be hurt for being honest. They could have bought the team with promises to keep it in Sacramento, only to pull a Bennett and move out shortly after.

I would be less angry with Bennett if he as honest from the moment he bought the team, like Ballmer and Hensen are right now.

They weren't being virtuous, they just couldn't keep it a secret. They had an arena deal in seattle since last year. whatever team they bought would surely be moved. Sac has also seen what happened in Seattle with an ownership change and the Maloofs tried to move once. As soon as the team was sold to an outside group it would've triggered the same response from them.

The Maloofs are not selling the team to anyone in Sacramento, they already turned out some deals like this, i think it's kind of personal right now.

It is personal for them and that is reflected in the fact they didn't bother to solicit other bids when they decided to sell. This is why the sac bid is structured so Mark Mastrov is the front man. He supposedly is friendly with the maloofs and was not involved with sac's campaign to stop the team from moving a year ago. Ron Burkle on the other hand is a Lakers season ticket holder and one of the LA power brokers who lent his name to stop the move. The Maloofs have blamed LA powers for doing damage to their reputation and stopping them from moving to Anaheim.

I guess. Bulls are a disciplined squad and that's why they go very far. But I mean... That team the Heat beat 4-1 had Asik. It had MVP Rose. And the heat had goddamn Mike Bibby, Damps and Eddy House getting minutes.

And everyone agrees that the Heat is a better team now, that Lebron is a better player, yet a Bulls team with a worse Roster and a post injury Rose is suppose to be a threat? When they got spanked 4-1 by the inferior 2011 Heat version? Okay maybe spanked was a bit harsh, game 4 went overtime, bulls choked away game 5 but it is what it is.

Definitely not a threat

But they grew up a lot this year. They looked completely retarded without Rose on the court last season.

Wouldn't you love a team to match your baseball team?

Agreed. Asik was a tough loss for them.

nori lives on the border.
he doesn't know what he is.

and to be honest, baseball isn't a real sport.
its a sport as much as badminton.

Gaddang. Reliving lebron hurting feelings. lol.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

Remember young blood, you can never be too butt hurt.

I've never met a Ducks fan. Do they exist?

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Why would he sign with that dysfunctional franchise? Riley laughs at you

Never forget.

I don't think he thinks that the fans suck from what I've seen

LeBron's pregame dunks from last night, wow at his aim on the last one.

If reilo is white, Rubio probably said hi.

Just read the news on Parker. FML.

The only possible benefit to the injury is that Pop will finally choose a back up point for the playoffs.

So how is it having a real point guard dropping by the city of Portland?

I am ridiculous disappointed that your post didnt read.

"Omg Ricky Rubio sat next to me at a restaurant and I told him to change his face, be happy, enjoy it".


You will never have a better chance in your life to say such a current borderline pop reference to the person that created it. Man!

This is a good point but squads change over the years. Last years Miami team probably could have a much better chance of beating the Mavs in the finals before that. And the Bulls look so much better offensively without rose than they did before.

I could see it happening if Miami let's their guard down a little. And while the Heat were 4-1 it was a closer series than that number let's on. Yes Asik is gone but Jimmy Butler and nate rob have stepped up offensively, which was always their biggest problem

Biggest factor is going to be if Rose just sits this whole year and waits till next year. Looked like he was for sure coming back this year but it's looking more like he'll bynum it.

Curry going to drop 40 on us

Curry going to drop 40 on us

I don't think you need the reverse jinx, tonight's the second game of a backtoback for the Warriors, on the road...

Plus, Curry scored more than 30 points only 6 times this season.

 

[pilonv1]

Curry going to drop 40 on us

I hope Jenk plays.

 

[Knux-Future]

Harrison Barnes is on HGH or something...

Dude got crazy athletic sicne leaving NC.
either that or
Roy is on some Ben Howland shit

 

[DY_nasty]

Curry going to drop 40 on us

More like Lee going 40/20

 

[Knux-Future]

I like how we go to Hawes like he's a young Amare or Blake. Liek we expect him to dunk the ball and shit.

 

[1871]

Really fun game so far... Lee wants to be the point guard today.

 

[RedAssedApe]

hawes sucks so bad. why do they keep passing to him...

 

[Knux-Future]

why are we going to Hawes on purpose..

like why

 

[1871]

like why

Because of Ezeli

If by "retarded" you mean an 18-9 record without Rose, then Yes, you are exactly right.

Their offense has been just as ugly for great stretches of this season: Deng's FG% is awful, Boozer has been inconsistent, the corpse of Rip Hamilton has been worse than last year, and Bellinelli is a poor man's Korver with a funny accent.

Hinrich runs the offense well when's he's not injured, Noah is a great passer for a center and Jimmy Butler learned a jump shot. That's about it for improvements.

 

[Knux-Future]

Doug, bro.

Just go home man. You don't deserve this shit and I don't want you kill anyone or yourself

 

[pilonv1]

I'm sorry Knux

More like Lee going 40/20

20 dimes yo

 

[RedAssedApe]

Because of Ezeli

Hawes 0-4, 2 TO. Yeah...

 

[Knux-Future]

Jrue is going full retard

 

[pilonv1]

Ezili is a good defender for a rookie, you don't go at him

 

[1871]

Hawes 0-4, 2 TO. Yeah...

I'm not saying it's a good idea, I'm just saying that's what they're doing. Did you see that they immediately went to Lavoy Allen downlow? Because they think Ezeli is a liability on both ends of the floor.

 

[Knux-Future]

Jrue is on some Farve shit

slanging

 

[Syphon Filter]

curry going for 50 again.

 

[Knux-Future]

lol that's not a flagrant

edit: okay good
