Trap game maybe? We're competing for the #1 seed fellas. Put them down early. I'm aware the Nets have been much better since the D-Will trade, but they're still not in your league.
@bj I am done picking the Zags to go anywhere. They screw me over every year. Them and Pitt. No more. I have Zaga gone in the 1st round, Pitt in the 2nd to Butler.
I also have the nets announcers, which usually would make me angry, but its Fratello and some other guy. And that was a hilariously bad attempt to draw a foul D-Will.
@tris I get it. I always pick them and it always sucks. But I cannot give it up. And good call on Butler, I have them and George Mason winning, I figure one will actually get it done and the other 1 seed wont get much further so it'll balance out.
Derrick isn't getting enough credit for how much he's improved his D over the course of the season. He has gotten the better of D-Will on both ends of the court every time they've played.
Wonder where Turkish is nowadays on the rebounds per 48 minutes stat? He was in the top 5 a little while ago. There's too much going on for me to look it up right now, though.
What is Asik's ceiling? Is he already better than Varejao? Can he be better than Noah? Divac? Other random kinda athletic but a little awkward 7' guys?
Honestly, until 3 weeks ago. I would never have been this confident in this team. The improvement has come from their defense, but the confidence is showing individually on offense. I say they'll keep the 1 seed and get to the Finals. I still think they fear the West a bit, but we'll get there when we get there.
Right now the latest Hollinger playoff odds have the Bulls with the best chance of winning the finals, slightly over the Lakers. Crazy. Also, I love that the Bulls game is over, but there's tons of sports left to watch tonight. I love the NCAA tourney.
Hmm, Seabrook, first you take a stupid shot that leads to a Dallas goal, then you run over the goaltender to boot? Really earning that extension right there.
Joakim with the green shoes today! I like it.

ReplyDeleteGoing to go out on a limb and say Bogans doesn't play 29 minutes tonight.
ReplyDeleteTurkish D before Taj? Taj must be in the doghouse or something.
ReplyDeleteFully expecting TBN to change the energy level here.
ReplyDeleteTurkish is going to be huge tonight. Nets were getting every rebound before he came in.
ReplyDeleteKinda like a bizzaro version of the 2nd quarter last night, I can't believe we're winning right now. Seems like we're way outplaying them.
ReplyDeleteTURKISH D!!!
ReplyDeleteWorried about our ability to to keep this rebounding up with Turkish out. TBN is dropping dimes, though.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, BYU, final 4 team of mine, WTF are doing right now? Do not lose to Wofford, please.
Very nice offensive and defensive possessions from the 2nd unit. The Turkish Delight really is our Asikret Weapon.
ReplyDeleteSometimes TBN makes fast break finishes harder than necessary.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot let D.Rose do that. Don't you know this kid's from Chicago!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about that call, Stace. "Let me scratch my back?"
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, on my computer, BYU is jacking up dumb shot after dumb shot. Not OK with my bracket getting busted on day 1.
ReplyDeleteOh please lose, I have the Zags in the elite 8 for old times sake
ReplyDeleteI love that there are constant Game of Thrones commercials on the MM online broadcasts. Only a month away!

ReplyDeleteDid Deron learn that trick from Sasha? That was Sasha-esque move (trying to jump backwards into Derrick while shooting a 3 to draw a foul)
ReplyDeleteD.Will, that aired 3 shot is about as foolish as you wearing a headband. C'mon, fellow Alum...
ReplyDeleteI think it's possible that without Brandon Davies, no one on BYU is capable of dunking. What the hell was I thinking?
ReplyDelete@tris

2 offensive rebound + 3pt!
ReplyDeleteRedemption Asik!
ReplyDeleteTurkish for MVP
ReplyDeleteNow the halftime dilemma: Watch a college game, or start Community?
ReplyDeleteNo time for Community, and Florida is blowing someone out, so I'm watching Kenny and Chuck on CBS instead.
ReplyDeletegreat flop kt

ReplyDeleteI would be happy with Aryvidas Sabonis. He'd have to develop an outside jump shot, though.
ReplyDeleteBaseline Ninja moves work on the defensive end, too.
ReplyDelete"He cocked that back all the way from Istanbul, baby!"- Stacey King
ReplyDeleteI want to hold them under 70 please.
ReplyDeleteThe Bulls have held the Nets to 50 points through 3 quarters. That's why I have so much confidence going into the playoffs. Our D is sick.
ReplyDeleteAnd consistent. Bulls have won each quarter by 3-4 points. Speaks a lot on a night they're not shooting so hot.
ReplyDeleteI need either the Bulls or the BYU game to get not close, or much slower. Both are on pace to end at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe nets announcer's are hilariously confident. Fratello seems to think that Outlaw is one of the best players in the NBA. Bulls have this in the bag.
ReplyDeleteThe Bulls are shooting terribly tonight. It would be huge to win when they can barely get the ball near the rim.
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT acceptable to allow 2nd chance points to Sasha. Box him out, Korver
ReplyDeleteJoakim with some surprisingly bad help D on that one.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Tris. Bad Basketball and they'll still pull this out.
ReplyDeleteThe Korver curl play doesn't work when Kurt is the big man rolling to the basket. Taj or Turkish should be in there.
ReplyDeleteWofford is the New Jersey Nets of the NCAA tournament.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Asik is coming in. Or will TT wait for KT to foul out?
ReplyDeleteWaiting for KT to foul out. For a second there I thought they called an illegal screen on Big Sexy and was happy about it.
ReplyDeleteoh that was an illegal screen by KT, but I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteEven though that worked out, I didn't like Jo leaving him wide open like that.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Stacey is covering the Bulls
ReplyDelete"Keeping it alive for the duece"
-Nets Announcer
"Give me some hot sauce on Saint Paddy's Day!"
ReplyDeleteIt's Korver's birthday, and they just told me. Game double over.
ReplyDeleteI like how we're giving Sexy credit for that, when Taj or Asik would have been able to dunk it easily without pump-faking.
ReplyDeleteI think that was a lane violation on Noah. They never call that in the NBA
ReplyDeleteHonestly, until 3 weeks ago. I would never have been this confident in this team. The improvement has come from their defense, but the confidence is showing individually on offense. I say they'll keep the 1 seed and get to the Finals. I still think they fear the West a bit, but we'll get there when we get there.
ReplyDeleteAll the single ladies have left the building.
ReplyDeleteHope I didn't blow all my basketball karma on the Bulls and BYU. I need Michigan State to stay alive to upset Florida on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteRight now the latest Hollinger playoff odds have the Bulls with the best chance of winning the finals, slightly over the Lakers. Crazy. Also, I love that the Bulls game is over, but there's tons of sports left to watch tonight. I love the NCAA tourney.
ReplyDeleteHmm, Seabrook, first you take a stupid shot that leads to a Dallas goal, then you run over the goaltender to boot? Really earning that extension right there.
ReplyDeleteOK, maybe I DON'T want to watch the Blackhawks game right now...switching back to Michigan State.
ReplyDeleteHope Michigan State remembers how to score here at some point.
ReplyDeleteNot looking promising so far. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteGoing to call it a night, but end with this thought: I hate everything about Gonzaga.
