Well, kind of a moot point now:

Bulls:

Jrue Holiday/Jarret Jack
Dwyane Wade
Paul Pierce
Chris Bosh/Thad Young
Emeka Okafor/Brendan Haywood

A top four team in the league.  The concern is you've got a lot of guys coming off poor years or injuries.  It's a lot to argue that everyone is going to come back fully healthy *and* is going to improve on a down season.

And you believe that to be the limiting factor for me?

Sure.  Wade is in decline, and was injured in the playoffs.  Pierce and Wade are in decline, Holiday had a bad year, Okafor had a serious injury and still hasn't resumed basketball activities, etc.

That's the biggest issue.  Well, besides that you're starting Ru Paul.  :D

I see. I'll have to think about that.

Okafor had a serious injury and still hasn't resumed basketball activities, etc.

I'd also like to say this is false, Okafor's injury was swelling and soreness in his knee, and New Orleans decided to shut him down. In case you guys didn't know, they were kind of angling for a high draft pick.

Okafor was cleared for five on five play before the end of June, and has been working out on the knee.

What part is false?

Okafor had a major injury (i.e., a knee injury).  Check.

He still hasn't resumed playing.  Check.

You can believe that that's because he "hasn't been able to find a pickup game", but if that's the case, then Okafor is not just injured, he's amazingly stupid and/or lazy.

Oh, I thought you actually meant a major injury. Nevermind, I gotcha now. I thought you were just misinformed. Emeka Okafor is gonna be fine.

TP's have been given too by the way for everyone who weighed in on my post last night. Couldn't do it from my phone.

You should put your picks in your sig.

Pretty typical Walker Wiggle team. High pick the was controversial but ripe with 'I told you so' potential? Check. Using players in unorthodox positions, in an attempt to maximize mismatches, even though he knows he will get hit for it come voting? Check. A center nobody feels good about but there is a bounty of evidence that he'll be able to do what he says he can? Check.

Gimme something better than Channing Frye and I'm on board for a playoffs birth.

Controversial? You were on board with first round Greg Oden selections for three straight years.

Thanks for nothing.

Nice thing about this is that there can be times where I play Grant at the SF and Mbah A Moute at the PF with Duncan when West is Resting.

Yet another solid pick in Grant Hill for this team.  (At least in my eyes where I didn't see him play much last season so I'm remembering more of the Grant Hill from a year ago.  He did have quite a statistical drop this season.)

Question:  You have two G Hill's on the team.  Is the extra split second that Kobe will need to read the Ge. Hill or Gr. Hill and figure out which player it is before he passes the ball going to lead to potential extra turnovers?
