PREDICTION

Knicks will lose the rest of their games (I'm really goin' out on a limb here) and
the bulls will win out.
then with the knicks pick we will select Hibbert from georgetown

FYI: this blogger does not take kindly to criticism and will dismantle your retort by way of my remarkable mental acuity, which is unrivaled at blogabull.

Dude, look up the definitions for words, all you do is bitch about the Bulls trading Curry. That's jealousy, not disdain. If there's any disdain it's coming from everyone annoyed at your post player comments.

A diary doesn't feel the same

until PaxJax has done his share to try and make himself feel better by denigrating others.

I sure hope he doesn't make any cracks at me, because I really don't know how much more I can take before I just break down.

I love this site.

We get a free scolding for not meeting Paxson Jackson's standards in English. I felt jealous when I read Sam's article on Curry today. I used to be somewhat of a Curry guy. Wow Curry and Chandler reuniting in NY would really make me Jealous but only if they were winning.

by joejoeEnglish94bulls4ever on Apr 10, 2007 12:57 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

winning

I think that's the problem. All this praise for Curry and his team sucks with him as 'the man'. He could get gobs of points and 4 rebounds here too, no?

by your friendly BullsBlogger on Apr 10, 2007 1:02 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

winning

Agreed, and I like both those guys. They still have the same glaring problems that prevent them from being top tier players (which would probably equal more wins), and I'm glad those flaws no longer hurt the Bulls. Curry's test refusal is more than enough reason to never second guess the trade.

I wasn't taking issue with language as much as the second-guessing.

by Paxson Jackson on Apr 10, 2007 1:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

'like'

I like them too, and you're right: Curry's heart test should always be a big flashing disclaimer when discussing that trade.

(We've been over this here already, I know. Blame Sam?)

I think they're both above-average players, but saying that Krause's plan would've worked if they held on to each guy is just not true. The plan wasn't an only-offense and only-defense guy each, it was sold as drafting Shaq(Curry) and Garnett(Chandler). Unfortunately I believed in that plan, heh.

Re: 'standards in English'

I don't think they're very high here, yet many find a way to fail miserably.

I don't get it, personally. Whether one is truly an idiot or not, if your comments are littered with typos and mispellings people will think you're an idiot and (rightfully) won't care what you have to say.

More on "disdain"

There are a million reasons to dislike (or have disdain for) the Knicks, their fans, New York, the East Coast, etc., etc. etc. The Eddy Curry trade isn't one of them. I really can't see how that one swung in New York's favor.

My secret reason for hating the Knicks:

Living in NYC I get to read a lot of Thomas' comments, and the one that I see ad nauseum - especially whenever he's criticized - is something akin to "This may be bad, but it's nothing compared to what I experienced growing up in Chicago."

OK. We all (most of us I'm assuming) grew up in Chicago. We all know it can, at times, get a little nasty.

But God almighty will this guy please please stop ripping the city? Pisses me off to no end.

Thank you for allowing me to devenom myself; it was slowly poisoning my soul.

by Freethefro on Apr 10, 2007 4:41 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I don't think he's ripping the city

I wouldn't say (and, thankfully, wouldn't know) that the impoverished areas of Chicago are better than similar areas in New York, Detroit, L.A., Oakland, etc.

He is using it to deflect criticism though, which would get me pretty peeved if I was a Knicks fan. That's out of the Dusty Baker playbook.

by your friendly BullsBlogger on Apr 10, 2007 4:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

You know, you're right

and I don't claim that what Isaiah says is false. What I resent is the fact that New Yorkers tend to think of Chicago as one big industrial hole, and that Zeke is playing up on those stereotypes. Find some other way to be evasive! That's all I'm saying.

The frustrating thing - and I think a lot of the misdirected ire for D.Wade comes from a similar source - is that as Chicagoans we generally want to embrace our own. It's always worse when you're brother sticks it in your eye than some stranger.

by Freethefro on Apr 10, 2007 4:59 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Thomas is my main reason for hating the Knicks.

I thought he was a punk when he played for Detroit. Freezing out Jordan during the all star game and not being man enough to shake the Bulls hands after we beat then on the way to our first championship.

So,

that funny guy, Seth, at the Knicks Blog, Posting and Toasting, has decided to make humorous description about the Bulls' roster. Not much of it has to do with how they play, but more funny statements. This one made me laugh, because I could totally see Colt .44 doing this:

#44 Adrian Griffin- Though he seems rather quiet and well-mannered to the unsuspecting viewer, Adrian has been known to very subtly taunt opposing players with words so calculated and cruel that tears are sometimes shed.

They may be the offspring of Lucifer, but some those Knicks fans can tell some good ones.

I have to write a paper on sports marketing

and am wondering if anyone has any good book suggestions.

I think I'm going to focus on the way the leagues market themselves and how marketing is done in sports (not deals personal players have, but things the teams and leagues do).

The one source I have so far is Mark Cuban's blog. Need a 3-4 books even if they just have one good quote in them.

Thanks.

I've written a few papers based on basketball,

but all my stuff is sociology. We've had a bunch of marketing students in various classes, so I don't know if that might be helpful or not? Anyway, the ones I've done have dealt with rationality versus spectacle, using George Ritzer's work looking at how carefully the NBA has to plan events in order to keep the sense of magic that draws fans in.

My major resource was his book

Enchanting a Disenchanted World - he has a chapter on Disneyland where he looks at how they are selling a show while hiding the practicalities of day to day operations that might spoil the show for consumers (like trash collection, seeing the characters out of character, etc.), but at the same time the whole point of the show is to make money. I used that idea to look at All-Star weekend and how the NBA and players highlight the aspects of basketball that sell - lots of offense, no real defense, and so forth.

Not sure if that is helpful to you. I know he's done other stuff on consumerism, but I haven't read all of his other stuff.

Washington has lost four in a row

New Jersey has: Wizards (right now), Cavs, Knicks, Pacers, Knicks, and Bulls.

Tough schedule assuming the Knicks and Pacers are still trying. The last game against Chi-Town might be a gimme assuming we've already locked up the #2 seed and rest key players (which I hope happens).

Weirder things have happened, so I won't be surprised if the Wizards fall to #7.

They split the chances evenly. But there is a coin flip to determine order in the case that neither team gets a top-three pick. Head-to-head and other tiebreakers never enter into it.

Can someone fill me in on when and why a Knick was talkin trash to Tyrus? What happened?

Although we destroyed New York, I don't particularly like the current trend at forward. Since Noce has come back, Tyrus has lapsed back into his passive play. He is hiding on offense and is out of position for rebounds. Maybe he is recharging for the playoffs. We really need him to be a difference maker to advance.

I hope Skiles can settle on a beneficial rotation before the first round starts.

You could be right.

I'm hoping it's the illness, not a return to invisibility.

Just read the Tribune article.

According to that piece, Robinson was talking trash to Tyrus after the game. Apparently, a Knicks player had to be held back when he went after the Bulls in the hallway.

What a bunch of p*ssies. Seriously.

Ha.

Apparently the Knicks players were really mad that the Bulls were "running up the score" at the end when they were going for the sandwich, and somebody had to restrain Jerome James from going after Tyrus Thomas in the hallway after the game. Firstly, why is Jerome James mad? I'd think he'd be cheering BIG TIME for the Bulls to get the sandwich so that he could snag one. The guy is clearly on the Eddy Curry diet.

Also, and more importantly, the Knicks need to admit to themselves once and for all that there is no such thing as "running up the score" in professional sports. They got pissed about it with Denver and they got pissed about it here. How about this: if you didn't suck so much, teams wouldn't be able to run up outrageous scores on you. I can see small schools getting pissed about juggernaut programs running up scores needlessly in college sports, but in the pros teams should pretty much suck it up and admit that if they get blown out it's their own fault for not putting forth a competitive/professional effort. It's certainly not the fault of the opposing team. Wins in any professional sport are hard to come by, so if there's a chance for a team to make 100% sure that the game being played ends in a win, any and all teams will jump at the opportunity. The Knicks' whining is even more idiotic than the standard running up the score argument in this case because every Bulls starter sat out the entire 4th quarter. In summation, if the Knicks would only stop being god awful and giving up when they get down double digits, they would find themselves in way fewer situations where opposing teams are "disrespecting" them by playing hard.

Trash talking

Knicks were probably trash talking to Tyrus because the Bulls kept shooting even though they were up big with relatively no time left... it looks like it got heated. I think Marbury would have punked Tyrus, but that's just me.

They were shooting because the crowd was clamoring

for 100 points and a free Big Mac.

In any case, Tyrus didn't take one of the shots at the end.

Yeah, I am sure Marbury is a real tough guy, just like Rip Hamilton.

Tyrus and Rip

I highly doubt Rip could do anything to anyone in the league other than whine in their face. You seem to think Rip (or the Pistons for that matter) really mean anything to me.

I was only saying that Starbury is from the hood, he would definitely punk Tyrus.

Ramifications?

This is exactly what we needed to do to the Knicks. Trounce the hell out of 'em. Remind them that their season is over and they have absolutely nothing left to play for. That couldn't have gone better.

The Knicks know that they're getting the Bulls pick, too - they need us to lose. Yet they came out and had SEVEN turnovers in the first four minutes. That has to be some kind of record. Amazing. They showed Isiah on the sidelines and he just did his stupid grin (indicating that he was obviously astonished and couldn't be held accountable for any of it - blame the refs or something).

Steve Francis talking smack to Tyrus at the end - clearly Isiah has taken him under his wing. That team reflects the level of class displayed by their coach throughout his career. No surprise I guess.

In any event, I hope their spirit is broken and they pack it in now. Go ahead and lose the remaining games, Knicks. Your second round pick will be higher.

Durant and Aflallo both declared today. The deeper the draft the better that 10th (8th? 1st?) pick will be. It's a great day to be a Bulls fan.

Deng 4 MVP, 2008!
