It's more effective
if you play both videos at the same time. Epic.

I'd certainly rather have Bosh
but I’d keep Taj over getting someone like Boozer.

what the hell have you been smoking? On second thought, if you're serious
than I’d have to check your arms for needle marks.

If this needs to be debated than I will simply blow my brains out. It would be much easier than trying to convince you that Boozer would be the better choice. This has nothing to do with the possibility that you have a fetish towards players who constantly chew their moutpieces is it?

My bad although it should be obvious that the top set of nos. are Boozer's stats
and the lower numbers, and I do mean lower, belong to Gibson.

Taj "Butterfly" Gibson
I see your point now! He’s like a spring day, a blooming daisy, a dainty fawn. Emerging from the constraints placed on him by the Tyrus cocoon he can finally spread his wings and fly… fly butterfly fly.
Bosh or Bust
lol sin, you've inspired me to write an ode to Taj from Vinny
I call the following ditty “Vinny’s in Love with the new guy in town”
Vinny loves his new butterfly
yes, he now can fly high
but can he reach the sky
like his old nemisis, Ty?
Oh yes he can. He’s now my man
He can do things that make me a fan
He runs the court and plays some D
He’s not like Tyrus making fun of me
I just want to say that this cat can really play
They’ll be no more Tyrus to ruin my day
He can crash the boards and hit the J
He’s someone I feel I can always trust
Just like Kirk, he has that special thrust
Unlike Tyrus who turned out to be a bust
Taj says nice things to make me feel good
I would play him 48 minutes if I could
If Gibs didn’t always foul so damn much
I could use him like Rose as my crutch
Along with Derrick, Kurt and Miller who are always clutch.
He hits the glass and plays real smart
Not like Tyrus who was a human brain fart
Taj is a winner although the stats don’t show it
Whereas Thomas would likely always blow it
Which is why I never put him in when the game was on the line
No matter how much he begged me which is why i gave him a fine
He just didn’t want to accept that I’m the boss and know what’s best
So I told him to shut up, sit down. I couldn’t afford to put him to the test
Now with Taj, I love his grit and positive attitude
Instead of heaping scorn he offers gratitude
Tyrus can no longer try to make a monkey out of me
Taj and his supporting cast will lead us to victory
He’s earned his minutes and won his stripes
No more listening to Thomas’s petty gripes
A new dawn has arrived and the butterflies are free
From this day on Taj, it’s gonna be just you and me
From now on, Vinny’s new knickname should be
Vinny Irrational Tajmancrush, don’t you see?

This is the best satire I've read in a while. :)
Go Rockets/Nets[CDR]/Bucks[Jennings]!
If lebron travels (which he does EVERY GAME) with everyone watching
Would anyone make a sound? Answer no.
Well when the media keep stroking his ego every day.
It drives me crazy. I’ll take your dare. 2 weeks HA! Make it 3! lol
this is still here?
i thought after a few hours, it’d be taken down..
I'm cuckoo for Kukoc!!!
I'm buying tickets for Feb. 20th. First home game after the trade deadline. Will I be happy?
I'm sorry
but did you say that Taj has great hands? What kind of drugs are you taking? He drops everything.
gibson is a good solid player..
If you are comparing him to a veteran than you are putting him into a class that he doesnt fit yet but i believe he has all the skills to be a positive player in the short future.
Is he the answer at pf right now…no he is a rookie..makes rookie mistakes and gets the short end on calls like most rooks..but if he were able to be a bench contributer instead of a starter this year he would be a bright spot..unfortunately TT was a guy that would have been the pf if he would have made it thru the 4th grade in school.
Gibson shows signs that he will be as good or better than many other players at his position.. Allstar probably not but i believe he could play as good as Jeff Green, kenyon martin, or a few other guys at the pf position,
If he develops his offensive game he could be as good as boozer or David west in a short time period…yes he could just become a drew gooden, but he is young and plays within himself….his tools are pretty nice, good rebounder defender and young and good basketball iq

He is PJ Brown, which is fine. A nice roleplaying backup PF…I really don’t think his ceiling is much higher than say a 33 yr old Joe Smith.
We gave Joe Smith the MLE
So if we can get a player who provides similary production on a rookie salary, I’m more than down.
I'm not a great admirer of his game but he's already better than Gooden
who is a complete sieve on defense.

Thank god he won't become a Drew Gooden
Gooden is SO BAD. I mean, really.
I mean, I dislike Taj, but he’s not gonna become that. I have the ball on the sideline with two people guarding me? Hmm, looks like it’s time for a 20 foot fadeaway J! Oh, snap, I missed. Oh well, I’d better stand in the paint on D and spin in circles. Hopefully this guards people.
Next play: Hey, I have the ball on the baseline 20 feet away from the hoop!
Go Rockets/Nets[CDR]/Bucks[Jennings]!
Maybe this was mentioned already
but they said in the post game show last night that the Rockets wanted Taj in a deal for T-Mac but the Bulls refused to trade him. I didn’t follow all the trade talks on here so if this was mentioned before just ignore this.
OK I don't know shit about basketball.

you guys need a new blogger
It was just a nice, all-around team effort. I was really impressed by Warrick. He crashed the boards, ran the floor, and basically just worked it. I love it when guys scrap and hustle. If Warrick keeps playing the way he played last night, the United Center crowd is going to turn him into a folk hero. You know, until his contract expires this summer.
Listen, all Chicagoans want is to win a championship see guys play hard.

Could've sworn
I read something about players being allowed one step while the gather the ball, then two steps after that before the season started. Could be wrong though.
I don't know the exact rule but I'm pretty sure LeBron
is allowed 3-5 steps to gather the ball and than as many as he needs after than in order to get a dunk or a layup,
In the NBA, travelling is in the eye of the beholder after the front office reminds the officials who the fans are paying to see and thus indirectly, who has the biggest impact on seeing their paychecks grow.
I predict by next year, D Rose will be going to the foul line 8-12 times a game by doing exactly the same thing he’s always done. Not that I’ll be complaining, just as I seldom saw a need to criticize the refs during the Jordan 3 repeat years.
