Please define schadenfreude for me.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the Bulls but we disagree why. The problem is DeRozan. Not that he is a bad guy and not that he isn't an incredible basketball player but the game has past him by. Players that play the three position around the NBA are stroking threes and hitting them all game long and they are good ball defenders. He can't shoot threes and he is a bad defender. Lavine might be too good of a guy. He will defer to DeRozan when he should take over. Lastly, this group of players needs someone to kick them in the ass. I love Donovan but he clearly isn't that guy. This team might thrive under Thibs.

Harrelson, legend or not, is a dick. He had maybe the best Color Commentator in all of Baseball working next to him and he ignored him. Time to retire, dick.

I have heard the bitching about Ross already. I would like to hear the background behind the bunt on 3-1 because I am sure it was not as simple as we think. More importantly, its been four games, relax.

Stop with the fantasizing with receivers. O-Line and D-Line till we puke in this draft! We ALL know thats what wins football!

LaVine should defer to DeRozan in critical situations. His brain short circuits late in games. And he also cannot defend.

People love to talk about Lavine's bad defense but he is a good on ball defender. Pay more attention to DeRozan on defense. He frequently gets caught "watching the game" and losing his man.

LaVine once called off-ball defense "the hardest thing he's ever had to do." lol.

I have been more interested in the NFL draft this year than ever before. I have seen a million different scenarios and I think the most intriguing would be the one I saw yesterday. Might just be recency bias, but trading back from 9 to 16 with Washington for Chase Young would be incredible. Can still grab an elite OT at 16 (PJJ, Skoronski, Broderick Jones) and address the DL with a potential super star. Not sure how likely that is or if the compensation is worth it for the Commanders, but if Levis or RIchardson are there at 9 and Washington makes a move, Young has to be in the conversation. 3 more picks in the top 65 for a CB, another DL, and a C. Could very easily go from worst to first.

I'm just very concerned about Chase Young's long-term health. But otherwise, I agree with the basis behind the deal.

Capitalize on every QB-needy team there is.

Since it’s looking like the draft is deep with Dline prospect, I really hope the Bears use their pick on Paris Johnson. Guy is an absolute freak and I think our line would be set moving forward. I also think we sneakily could have a very solid interior Oline if Whitehair moves to center. We still have probably the worst front 4 in football and even with some good picks, that will not be fixed this year. But let’s get the Oline solidified this draft and see Fields take off this year. #beardown

Big time agree. If you are going to prioritize one, prioritize the offensive line. Get the Bowling Green Big Boy later or something.

Alexa- play ever song you have in your catalog by the 1975 on volume 4.

Don't have the energy to talk about the Bulls. In hindsight, maybe us watching the Knicks game in December and chest bumping when they won was a little pre-mature.

That is FORMER DOAK WALKER AWARD WINNER D'onta Foreman to you! I would be excited about drafting JSN, but as you eluded to, we have three good receivers, a couple good tight ends. I think I would rather secure an offensive lineman at 9.
