Random Thoughts

First off... school's out for the summer! FINALLY.

Anyway, other random sports thoughts on the day:

- Well it's one thing to be wrong, another to be dead wrong, and that's what I was about the Bulls/Pistons series. It's one thing to lose 2 games on the road, it's another to blow a 19 point lead at home in a virtual must-win. The future is obviously still bright in Chicago, but they don't have to wear shades quite yet.

- This rap might be the best thing ever.

- It appears that Dirk will be named the NBA MVP on Tuesday... obviously, I agree with Dirk as MVP. The MVP is a regular season award, and Dirk was simply the best player during the year. I don't buy the argument that the MVP has to come from a winning team, it was just a coincidence that the best player played on the best team. It usually doesn't work out that way.

- Utah @ Golden State Friday night... the series is 2-0, but (obviously) it has been absolutely fabulous.

- The evidence that Vick is lying about this dog fighting business keeps mounting. Good. If he really was involved (and all evidence seems to point in that direction), hopefully they can get some type of solid case against him.. and even if they can't hopefully Roger Goodell will step in with an iron fist.

(photo from Deadspin, because I just laughed out loud when I first saw that)

- As far as possible 17 games in the NFL regular season talk, I agree with Shot to Nothing... I like things as they are.

- Tiki Barbaro... this is freakin' hilarious. (found via The Big Picture)

Anything stick out to you on this sports Friday?

Boy I thought the Bulls vs. Pistons series was going to be so much better than the Jazz vs. Warriors series. Man was I wrong too.

Surely they have to do something about Vick now don't they?

It's like the headlines just keep getting worse and worse with that guy and it makes you wonder what's next?!

Thanks for the link twins.

Would you blow up the Bulls? Or would you keep the Hinrich-Gordon-Deng nucleus intact?

In 5 years, how good will those three be? That could be the best threesome in the NBA 4 years from now, not to mention Ty Thomas (who the hell knows what he'll turn into).

Or do you ship off one or two of those pieces in return for a big man that helps you win RIGHT NOW. (O'Neal, Gasol, KG...)

Personally, I'd let those three develop on their own, and then see what happens in the big man department along the way. Honestly, even with a good big man, are the Bulls perimeter players good enough to carry a team to a title?

we are definitely in the majority in the bulls/pistons series... chicago has looked mighty small in the shadow of the pistons
