I suppose those two QBs for Tennessee play defense now?

The point is, it is nice to see someone so diligently telling someone that they won't let them forget something; now you are desperate to pretend you have never made a bad prediction.

Carry on, basketball Nostradamus.

Asik will likely lead the NBA in rebounding this year till KLove returns. He is just a beast on the boards and good rim protector. He is worth that 8mil/yr.

Agreed.

Noah IMO is a top 5 center in the league and Asik's shortfall is offensive....which is what limited his playing time with the Bulls.

On a team that has enough scoring, he can utterly beast by rebounding and playing defense.

I never denied that I made that prediction about the Titans. NFL is a difficult sport to predict, but even with that said, the season is only half way over. It's too convenient for you to come in here after the Colts have gotten hot and talk trash. I guarantee you 3 weeks ago, you wouldn't have had the gonads to come in here and call me out. So the Colts beat 4 teams that don't have a winning record, and now you want to talk trash? That's kind of like saying the Tigers were going to win the World Series right? How did that turn out for you?

No but seriously though, you're right, there's no excuse for the awful defense this year. With that said, if you have an inconsistent running back and your QB play isn't great it doesn't help keep the defense off the field, but the season is only half way over. Did anyone think the Giants were going to the Super Bowl last year at this time?

I don't have to run away from my picks even if I'm wrong about the Bulls.

i have to ask, where are the guys who where ok with the harden trade on the OKC side? the guys who thought the team would be as good or better without him? durant is carrying more load, and martin sucks! all the while on a measly 40 minutes per game hardin is scoring over 26 ppg.

martin is giving ABOUT the same ppg hardin did last season but he just doesnt do anything else what so ever.

So would you have just given Harden the money and risk having a sub par roster around your team for years to come?

they would have a 4 man core of durant, westbrook, hardin and ibaka, the rest are just small pieces so to answer the question YES!

look at what the spurs have done of the last 15 years, build a core, build around it with pieces, small pieces.

Bulls...man. Big lead, blow it, then tough out a win. I wonder if they will have once start to finish 48 minute victory this year. I honestly in some small way hope Rose sits out the whole year to get back to 100% (or as close as he can) and by next year they can amnesty Boozer and maybe shake up the roster a little bit. Blah. I can't believe how closed their window feels right now. Take me back to the ECF two years ago and I'd say the Bulls would be peaking at this point.

Wow Knicks 6-0 now....

Heck, even as a diehard Laker fan, I'm starting to enjoy watching their team.

I wonder how their chemistry will be affected when Stat comes back.
