This is his worst one yet, and that's saying something.

He has to be joking, right? So either the bulls are awesome (win a championship) or totally fucking suck (don't win a championship).  And the team that leads the NBA with best record can't win unless they make every free throw and have zero turnovers. Looking at the standings, they must do that almost every game.

The other night Morph ran the numbers in the ice soccer shoutbox, and showed there is no correlation between the Bulls' success at the free throw line and win/lose.

I hope this thread doesn't get Ratto'd.

The definition of insanity, as defined by Albert Einstein is doing the same thing countless times while expecting a different result.

Omer Asik being put onto a basketball court is a prime example.

I have no idea what the Bulls saw in this guy to think he is an NBA player. The guy has terrible hands. He can’t score. He turns the ball over. When he actually gets the ball, he will do a pump fake only to get the ball stolen from him or get fouled. He will then promptly miss the free throws which teams know they can foul him and not worry about it. While watching Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the Thunder in which nobody on the team showed up, the Bulls should do whatever they can to get rid of this guy.

During this game, Russell Westbrook made Asik his bitch by dunking right over him. I said before that if Asik kicked so much ass playing basketball in Turkey, if I could, I would go to Turkey myself to make a living playing basketball. I am only 5’9 and 160 but I can assure whatever team signs me that I can score just as many points as he does and there is a good chance that someone like Westbrook will dunk while I try to block it. In addition to that, I’ll take less money.

KD dumps all over Jerry Reinsdorf. I'll read that any day.

The team is cheap, in all the wrong places. It might throw lifetime contracts and gifts aplenty at certain employees, but Jerry Reinsdorf continues to harbor some weird obsession with keeping his coaches in line. And, once he does pay the going rate for a coach (like when he took great pains to point out that Phil Jackson was the highest paid non-GM'ing coach in the NBA, following 1997's contentious offseason), Reinsdorf will take to the media with smarm and sass, complaining about the price of business.

On a related note, in example No. 13,804 of why Tom Thibodeau is brilliant and should be given 10 years and $50 million, if that's what he wants, this:

Teams last season shot 39 percent on corner threes, which is about the same percentage teams shoot overall on two-pointers outside the restricted area. Teams last season shot about 35.5 percent on all three-pointers, meaning they shot something like 33.5 percent to 34 percent on three-pointers taken anywhere but the corners. In short: The corner three is a great shot, something Spurs coach Gregg Popovich understood probably before the Internet became a thing.

The Bulls through 49 games this season had allowed 140 corner-three attempts. The Sixers, through that same stretch, had allowed the second-fewest — 192. The gap between Chicago and Philly is the equivalent of the gap between the Sixers and the league average for corner-three attempts allowed. Chicago opponents are attempting just 2.85 corner threes per game; the average team attempts about five per game.

Guess who yielded the fewest corner-three attempts last season? The Bulls, with a total of 305, or about 3.8 per game. They have shaved a full attempt off that number this season. Tom Thibodeau is scary.

So much so. After they get pwned by the Bulls at the UC tomorrow they'll have to go to Milwaukee for a game that really, really matters. Then they'll get the Wiz and the Heat for the weekend. Lucky thing, Philly is headed for the abyss.
