At what point do we question the alleged genius that is Theo Epstein?
A rotation featuring a 38 year old Lackey, Jason Hammel, Kyle Hendricks PAIRED WITH a shaky bullpen = the team that will end the curse?????
PLEASE.
Jason Heyward looks like another high priced Theo free agent flop as...
As much as I had hoped they could be contenders this year, I'm not holding my breath unless they add Mike Trout. Ha.
The team clearly isnt "bad" and I could even argue its closer to contention than many think. The only problem is the missing link is an elite middle of the order power hitter...
Is their a more overrated GM in NFL history than Ted Thompson?
Dude has been gifted 2 HOF QBs his ENTIRE time as GM and has only ONE!!!!!!! Super Bowl appearance to his credit. I'm aware they won the game....but only because of BJ raji picking off Caleb Hanie.
His refusal to spend more money...
Everywhere I look I am told that the Celtics are one key piece away from being title conteders.......
ummmmm???? Why???
I look at their roster and I see a bunch of decent-to-OK players with only one player who can create their own offense...and thats a 5'10 PG who comes off the bench.
...
It seems to me that 95+ % of people have bought this narrative that the Bulls have no chance to even compete in the East, yet alone make a run at banner #7. I will freely admit I entertained this belief as well on more than one occasion.
Then I asked myself why?
First ...it has to be...
And I'm not talking scratch off.....I'm talking $650 million

In just 16 months or so on the job, Ryan pace...
People are quick to forget in this scattered brain paced society , but iderrick Rose is a sports tragedy.
Compare ANY PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY'S 21 year old season with Derrick roses and tell be theirs are more dominant.
drove was a once in a hundred year player and it's sad we got robbed of...
Imagine KD and Westbrook dominating the NBA in those colors and uniforms ! Iconic.
Seattle was a GREAT bball city. Absolutely disgraceful they had their team stolen.
I feel I may have sold him a bit short when I suggested Jae Crowder + #3 pick would be an offer to consider.
A 26 year old 6'7 wing player who averages 23 ppg while playing excellent defense AND who is signed for the next 4 years at a very reasonable price.
How much more do we need to throw...
The NBA belongs on NBC and the NHL belongs on ESPN/ABC
I'm so sick of ESPN turning a league I onced loved into some scripted Disney bullshit.
NHL on NBC has the worst studio analysts ever. Luckily they have Doc emrick doing broadcasts so they can get away with it because he's the GOAT.

Why is no national media questioning the fact the warriors have 0 playoff series wins over elite teams???
- Pelicans LOL
- Grizzlies
- Harden and Howard LOL
- Kyrie and Loveless Cavs LOL
- Harden and Howard again LOL
- 43-39 Trailblazers LOL
something is fishy here
1.) Trade Jimmy Butler, Nikola Mirotic, Bobby Portis for Jae Crowder, Amir Johnson, and 2016 top 5 pick
2.) Make Al Horford the #1 target in F/A and sell him on the idea of playing alongside good friend Joakim Noah in a major market starving for another championship.
3.) Draft SF Jaylen...
