The Regime

Less than a 100 yards of total offense in the first half. Yeah the Bears could certainly mount a comeback in the second half if they were down three scores.

Giants defense/Packers defense, Mike Vick/Jay Cutler. That's two totally different things, it's laughable to even compare the two games.

The way Chicago's offense has been playing I think that's a pretty fair assumption.

That was a terrible special teams play lol. A score here will pretty much put the game away.

That's what happens when your the best player in the NBA.

Chicago is taking some horrible angles on some of these tackles resulting in big gains for the Packers backs. Chicago needs to get their act together sooner than later, or else this game is going to get out of hand real quick.

There's the first sack, plenty more to come. Packers special teams outplaying Chicago so far, excellent punting.

Here's the replay in case some of you guys didn't see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI0tzivTk_k

The arm strength wasn't there, no doubt. But I still think he can successfully fill the void for all the aforementioned teams. He has good football IQ and above average accuracy.

Nice to have another Bulls fan. Welcome to the best, try to stay active.

^I'm feeling something like that to. Let's go Bears!!!

He was one of the scapegoats for the Bengals struggles this year, something which I personally don't understand because he had an above average season for a QB. Dolphins, Redskins, Vikings, Panthers, Cardinals, and Niners could all use his services.

LOL Griffin with the three with the shotclock expiring.

Steph Curry is having a monster quarter. Sick hesitation and finish on that left underhanded flip up shot lol.

I also wouldn't mind a link, it has been a while since I've listened to some of his stuff.

Hornets are streaking once again, extending their winning streak to 8 games. San Antonio's starting five managed to score only 36 points, that simply won't get it done against any team.

A 1-13 night from Nick Young but the Wizards win, go figure.

As of late we have started to run our offense more through our big men something which I've been preaching for a good part of the season. This not only saves Kobe a lot of energy to takeover and putaway games in the second half, but it keeps our big men involved and in the flow of the game. Bynum's return has certainly bolstered our defense and he's starting to make an impact offensively, but Pau takes too many plays off defensively and he shy's away from physical play offensively. As for Odom, he has been our most consistent player and has played at an all-star level. I would probably give our frontcourt an A-. The B- is a pretty fair grade for our backcourt. Fisher sucks on both ends of the floor, he consistently gets torched by opposing pg's and he's having one of his worst shooting seasons of his career. I personally feel that Kobe has found his mojo this month, he has had better success scoring in loads and he's playing with more efficiency. He's still the best player in the game and the most clutch. That's a really generous defense rating. Our troubles defending the pick and roll and defending the perimeter warrant nothing higher than a C in my opinion. Our guards are constantly getting beat off the dribble which completely [expletive]s up our rotations. I've said it before, it's the simple things that can make a difference like running out on shooters and contesting shots. The talent is certainly there, we just lack the effort. Odom is a strong candidate for 6th man of the year, but outside of him the bench lacks consistency. Shannon Brown is either a beast or a bum, when his jumper is on he plays with loads of confidence otherwise he has a poor habit of chucking. Steve Blake has been nothing special, he's either going to hit a couple three's or be invisible the entire game, he lacks playmaking ability. Barnes has been solid this season, he crashes the boards hard, plays solid defense, hits open shots and will occasionally attack the rim with success. Lakers need him back as soon as possible because Walton doesn't positively impact the game in any way or form. I would probably give the bench a B+ with Barnes, a B- without him.

Welcome to OTR, stay active. We could use more of you around.

I actually read somewhere that Chandler has no intentions of signing a long term contract with Denver if he's traded. I'm sure that played a significant role in Denvers decision.

Denvers selfish mentality through this whole process is appalling. This attitude is going to end up biting them in the [expletive].

combined 24-39 (.615%) 54 points, 30 rebounds (10 offensive) Artest probably played one his most well rounded games this season. We didn't defend the perimeter as well as I had hoped, but it was an overall good defensive effort. On to Utah Tuesday.

It was just a matter of time that Nene was going to get a little too physical, he has been getting worked all night long. Keep at it Andrew!

Kobe has either assisted or scored on almost every Laker basket this quarter. And on top of that he is laying out for lose balls and playing exceptional defense. There is no stopping this guy when he's in the zone.

Artest has actually played a good all around game tonight. Solid defense on Melo, and he's knocking down his open looks.
