Simple search of the word "dumb" in the Bulls section and voila. There are MANY others in fact. Here ya go Denis. See you got a healthy sampling of what I am talking about previously. You know exactly what I am talking about.







See what I mean?

I love what I have seen so far. I was confused on many of their moves, but at least they are competitive and fun to watch. It also gives me confidence in the front office.

What's sort of ironic is the team was constructed in a way most would decry, especially after the relatively homegrown success of the Cubs and Sox (and maybe Blackhawks even earlier?). No one on the starting five is homegrown except for Williams and he's unproven. Lavine is the closest since he's blossomed in Chicago but he's not our pick. The super charged sixth man was also a free agent acquisition, just like DeRozan. In prior years if you just put together a team cut and pasted from the spare parts of other teams it usually was a ticket to NBA hell/mediocrity, unless that team of course was led by a premier player like James. Maybe these free agent Bulls are just that good or the conference is just wide open in ways it was not only 4-5 years ago. Either way it's fun so for the time being I don't mind that this team is essentially a hodgepodge of free agents rather than a team constructed upon 2-3 star homegrown players.

He's just as angry and confrontational at you when you ask who thinks Deandre Ayton is overrated as he is at WfR when he says something racist. It's the sports equivalent of the "he only knows one way to play!" trope.

I wasn't the dude that first made it "personal" but no matter.

I must have missed all of the scintillating, memorable discussions that you have been involved in around here. Apparently so has everyone else for the matter.

Looks like Kyrie will be coming back.

For road games only. Good.

The Brooklyn Nets are bringing back All-Star guard Kyrie Irving as a part-time player for games outside of New York and Toronto, the team announced Friday.

Irving, who has been unwilling to satisfy New York City mandates and become vaccinated to play in home games or road games at Madison Square Garden, will be eligible to play in select road games once he is able to pass a series of COVID-19 tests and get back into shape, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.


The unfolding circumstances of Brooklyn's season -- injuries, seven players including James Harden lost to health and safety protocols and an inordinate minutes load on Kevin Durant, who won't play Saturday against Orlando due to right ankle soreness -- led the team to the move.

"We arrived at this decision with the full support of our players and after careful consideration of our current circumstances, including players missing games due to injuries and health and safety protocols," general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. "We believe that the addition of Kyrie will not only make us a better team but allow us to more optimally balance the physical demand on the entire roster.

"We look forward to Kyrie's return to the lineup, as well as getting our entire roster back together on the court."

The point guard's return isn't expected to happen quickly. Irving has to test negative on five successive days before he can rejoin the Nets. Once he returns, he must test every day as an unvaccinated player.

New York City's mandate allows Irving to practice at home, and the Nets agreed with Irving on a plan that would allow him to start ramping back up for a return, sources said.

The team's next road game is Dec. 23 in Portland Trail Blazers, followed by a Christmas Day matchup at the Los Angeles Lakers and a Dec. 27 contest at the LA Clippers. That stretch is followed by three more home games.

The Nets have 27 road games remaining but two are at Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks, where Irving would not be able to play until he complies with the city's mandate. He also is currently ineligible to play on March 1 at Toronto, where travel for unvaccinated players across the Canadian border will be prohibited starting in January. Brooklyn (21-8) has 26 homes games remaining.

Still, having Irving back for road games is something Nets owner Joe Tsai, Marks, coach Steve Nash and key players fully supported -- and Irving has been eager to get back as well, sources said. Irving, who last practiced regularly with the team during the first week of training camp in San Diego in late September and early October, can start practicing at the team facility, though it remains to be seen when he will be able to do so with his teammates.

The team might not have a full practice for some time because of the schedule and the number of players in health and safety protocols. The Nets start a home back-to-back stint Saturday against Orlando before playing Denver on Sunday. Monday is a scheduled day off. They play the Wizards at home on Tuesday. The team is scheduled to fly to Portland on Wednesday before facing the Blazers on Thursday.

The circumstances have changed dramatically for the Nets since Tsai, Marks and the team made a collaborative decision on Oct. 12 to not have Irving be a part-time player.


Harden missed the past three games. Meanwhile, Durant is averaging 41.1 minutes in his past nine games and will be held out on Saturday to rest the ankle. Patty Mills also will rest.

"It's a really important topic," Nash said of Durant's playing time before Brooklyn beat the Philadelphia 76ers 114-105 at Barclays Center on Thursday night. "I don't know we can continue to lean on him the way we have. It doesn't feel right."

Nash later added: "It's not safe or sustainable to lean on him like that. There's gonna be a lot of consideration and we'll have to figure out ways to give him breaks."

In addition to Durant and Mills resting, seven Nets are in the protocols -- along with Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre' Bembry, Bruce Brown, Jevon Carter, James Johnson and Paul Millsap are out. Center Nic Claxton is questionable with left wrist soreness. Sharpshooter Joe Harris has been out as well due to left ankle surgery.

NBA YOLOing it. I'm sure both the owners and players want to keep getting paid so might as well see how it goes.

watching the Lakers lose tonight, a favorite pasttime: I said this last season, but Cam Payne is a terrible NBA player. Monty hides him well, but he is messing up their sets, missing wide (wide wide) open shots, turning the ball over left and right and he can be overpowered on defense by anyone bigger than say Muggsy Bogues. Suns need a new backup point guard. Glad the Bulls got rid of this guy.

Lakers have stuck around this season partly because their schedule is the 7th easiest in the league this year. But they've got a tough road ahead and Davis is gimpy. The key to the team seems to be Carmelo. As he goes, they go. Ariza could still give this team enough life to limp in the playoffs, and if they figure a way to manage Russ and his oddities/turnover fixation, they could still contend for the title. But they're going to have to get above the 6 seed to get to the next round.
