This baseball lockout with a shortened training camp and compacted schedule really doomed Mariano Rivera……………….

Thoughts go to D. Rose (and Shumpert). So sad to see, but 66.6% winning percentage for the team without Rose is still pretty formidable (would rank third in the east behind Bulls full strength and Miami). Not that I’m all that confident, especially with it being the playoffs (amirite Reggie Miller? [“THESE ARE THE NBA PLAYOFFS!!!!”]), but you have to believe that the Bulls will still win this series and can give the second round opponent a run for their money.

Having said all of that, my money is on the Spurs (watch me crash and burn tomorrow).

Ugh. Ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu.

George and I tried figuring out the 3/4 of the Season Awards. Here they are:

• MVP: LBJ—ugh…but really, who else? His numbers are fantastic.

      Comedy Pick: Boozer. I mean, that hair! (It’s hair, right?)

• ROY: Irving — I maybe would have gone with Rubio, had he stayed healthy. Though Irving would probably win out anyway. (Also, remember when Norris Cole was lighting it up? What happened to that? AND disappointed in Kemba. I know his roster sucks, but even this year’s UCONN team could be the Bobcats… and they lost early).

• MIP: Lou Williams? Sure? Does Jeremy Lin qualify? Throw away award?

• DPOY: Dwight. Or LBJ. Just bored of both of them. Hell, let’s just give it to Ibaka. Make him feel good for his weird dunk contest performance last year. (Maybe weird isn’t the right word for it, but whatever. I didn’t care for it… nor this year. Ugh, no stars in it anymore. It’s like the 4th grade talent show.)

          Comedy Pick: ‘MELO!

• COY (and I think the most interesting award race of the season): George says Pop, L.B. says Thibs (REPEAT!).  Can’t be SVG (you can’t lose so crappily twice in one season like he has. UNFORGIVEABLE). an’t be Spo (really? get a grip on reality). Brooks, maybe (but he has that quality about him that just makes you want to punch him in the face). Brown? Nah. Hollins has the dark horse thing about him, and Collins looks like he’s starting to lose his grip.  I say Thibs because the Bulls STILL haven’t lost consecutive regular season games since February of 2011, and they’re kickin’ ass and taking names without the MVP. Man keeps them focused, elevated, and intense for almost every game. If that’s not a coach, I don’t know what is.

Anyway, that’s what we’ve got. What do y’all think?

WHAT YOU LOOKIN’ AT?

That’s a nice lookin’ bunch.

Maybe Kareem can come off the bench for the Bulls, too?

Sheesh, never thought about it like that…

Meh, eff him. Wade, too.
