on derrick rose’s torn ACL news

what's thoroughly entertaining me this wednesday afternoon.

while waiting for the imaginary work bell to go off.

beyond happy for luol deng.

much deserved! (it’s about damn time)

hey coach thibs

maybe sit booze down with karl malone vids all day to model his game off of.
i don’t think he understands how pansy of a post player he’s become.

40 plays

rants of yours truly 12/5/12. haven’t done one of these in a minute. also in the middle of getting over my sick voice so i apologize for that. [edit] apparently i still thought it was december, my bad. brain’s fried. [/edit]

idiotic trade talks.

dwight howard for deng and noah. i may be in the minority, but i think it’s stupid. yes, our center presence is a little lackluster, but they’d get more out of the deal than we would. when playoffs come around any player that can freaking breathe knows to just get howard fouled out or at the line, leaving us with only asik. noah plays better when booz is off the floor. deng? best be an all-star this year.

he’s clutch (defensively and offensively) and is in games for what seems like an average of 40 minutes. again, i feel like no one sees that deng is just as important as rose.

</rant>

drestylez asked: Do you think we're good enough to beat the heat in the ECF. I'm not going to lie, the Heat looked scary today against the champions.

no kidding, i felt the same way watching that game. i’d be lying if i didn’t think they could be a threat again in the east. offensively, we’re not the strongest team. that, and wade/bron have been playing pick-up games all summer.

rose already said he doesn’t do pick-up. ermm, okay… insert MJ shrug here.

being a gung-ho bulls fan i obviously want us to win. which is dependent on so many other things. long story short, we still need to show up. we have issues with simple things like driving vs. shooting a jumper decisions. if you’re getting brick after brick try something else! we struggle with that shit, what’s up with that?

i mean take today’s game for instance, shit worried me. i’m a kobe fan and he killed it but in my opinion, the score shouldn’t have been that close. it should’ve been like the heat/mavs game. kobe wasn’t 100%, no bynum, no odom.

if we play like we did against a 100% team we’re gonna be shit out of luck.

and if boozer could play like the all-star he was on the jazz and stop with the excessive fadeaways like he be jordan, we’d be okay. i’m glad we picked up rip, but we need to get him to the same defensive presence that bogans had. hopefully thibs can help with that part of his game so getting into foul trouble early doesn’t become a habit.

that aside, rose and deng are gold. excited for the rest of the season.

been saying for a long time how important this dude is.losing deng is almost as important as losing rose, y&#8217;all. underrated.

.....fleeting moments and the daily grind.

from the city of wind, in a love-hate tango with nostalgia, doubts there'll ever be a point when common will not be relevant, revels in (eases) life's cherry pits, and fueled by words & beats.
