The Bulls will fight an uphill battle on offense all season long

2009/10 Los Angeles Lakers Season Preview
2009-10-28 14:00:00 Our thanks to Celtics Blog for working us into this huge season preview bonanza. Team Name: Los Angeles LakersLast Year’s Record: 65-17Key Losses: Trevor ArizaKey Additions: Ron Artest1. What Significant Moves were made during the off-season?The only real significant move was Ariza out, Artest in. Retaining LO and Shannon Brown was important, but I predicted that would happen. I think the Lakers front office is being bold. They had a nice, relatively young core and decided to take a risk and bring in Artest. They tweaked what was already very solid.2. What are the team’s biggest strengths?Starting Five. Whoever they decide to start, the Lakers have one of the best starting units in the league. Kobe as the leader, Gasol as a great guy to throw down to in the post, defensive-minded Artest and Odom or Bynum.Length. The Lakers are a tall team. Bynum, Gasol, Odom, don't forget that Kobe is 6-6. They've got seven guys that are 6-8 or taller. Tell me that won't cause teams with slim...

Mr. T Likely To Be Only "Cub" Receiving Award for 2009 Season
2009-10-27 20:37:00 After the Chicago Cubs' heartbreaking first round sweep at the hands of the LA Dodgers last year, fans hesitated to put their hopes back in the North Siders. As it turns out, their concerns were warranted. Unlike years past, when postseason struggles marred otherwise successful seasons, this year the Cubs never even got the chance to choke in the playoffs. The boys in blue finished second in the NL Central and their 83-78 record left them out of the postseason entirely. As a Cubs fan, it's hard to sift through the negatives of the 2009 season and find many (any?) positives....
Breaking News: Minnesota's Eric Decker Done For Regular Season
2009-10-27 19:15:00 Minnesota coach Tim Brewster said today that star wide receiver Eric Decker will miss the rest of the regular season with his foot injury, according to TwinCities.com.Decker has been arguably the best receiver in the conference during the 2009 season, averaging over six catches a game and accounting for five receiving touchdowns. His loss, obviously, is a massive blow to the Golden Gophers' bowl hopes. Minnesota currently sits at 4-4, and assuming a win against South Dakota State and a loss to undefeated Iowa, Brewster's team would need a victory against either Michigan State or Illinois at home to qualify for the postseason.That task will become much harder with the loss of the Gophers' best player....

Fighting Asthma Through the Cold and Flu Season
2009-10-20 01:38:00 There's a lot of asthma out there and much of it is very poorly controlled. And it doesn't have to be that way. At this time of year it's especially important to understand how to keep your asthma under control and avoid serious illness. A large proportion of deaths from H1N1 have occurred in people who are asthmatic. Any respiratory illness can cause an asthma flare. First some stats--asthma affects:Over 22 million peopleOver 6 million childrenIn 2006 3,613 people died from asthmaChicago and New York City share the dubious distinction of having the highest asthma death rates in the country. While much extraordinary work has been done by the Chicago Asthma Consortium (funded by the Otho S.A. Sprague Foundation),...

E-Greetings Make Diwali Tastier This Season – IndiaVideo Contributes
2009-10-14 13:17:00 This Diwali the internet will play a major role in the upliftment of the zest, which is by far the most awaited festival among all Indians, at home or abroad. The most beautiful thing about this is that families come together and greetings come in unique packages. Some order a gift which gets delivered at the person’s doorstep you wish to send, while some some use their so called ‘mobile phone’ to send cheeky forwards. I am not saying that the traditional means of greeting are forgotten completely, but with newer, better and more eye-opening ways the Diwali becomes tastier, doesn’t it? Sort of like a tinge of lemon to your favourite Mughlai Dish! That’s where, E-greetings come in the glare. We recently cited the PayPal Survey Report showing a boom in the e-commerce market this Diwali season. Reasons being seemingly honest, some people would shop online to avoid the crowds in the stores, some would do so since they find a wider range of products availab...

Season Starts Sunday
2009-10-12 09:25:00 You can't learn anything from the first quarter of the season. Nothing. Zero. The Baltimore Ravens were the best team in football after three meaningless wins. Patriots. Loss. Bengals. Loss. The New York Giants are currently the cream of the crop, having beaten the crappy Redskins, bad Cowboys, awful Bucs, piss poor Chiefs and beyond-miserable Raiders. Minnesota is riding high at 5-0 as well, with their win at San Francisco suddenly look far-less impressive.The truth is we don't know now. But we start knowing soon. And for the Chicago Bears...real soon. I'd always thought the Atlanta game would be the first real litmus test of the 2009 season (I picked them to the conference's number one seed) but I never...
Can The Season Start Before We Think of 70+ Wins?
2009-10-12 03:35:00 The NBA season is now just 15 days away. It's pre-season and while I love speculating about how teams will do, can't we just show a little constraint and not mention the Bulls historic 72 win season (or 70 wins period)?It's not like I don't want players to be confident, it's just the simple fact that you haven't even play a single game yet that mattered. 70 wins is plausible only with an almost perfect season by a very well constructed team these days. There are really only two, maybe three teams I'd even think about saying that about.Rasheed Wallace said the Celtics could do it and TNT broadcaster and former player Reggie Miller said the Lakers could do it. Is it possible that LA and Boston could have injury free seasons? Yes, but I seriously doubt it. Additionally, the new additions on these teams look good on paper, but haven't meshed completely yet.Some teams that look great or better on paper could actually end up being worse. Allow some time for evaluation before you m...

Yuri Anime: Saki, Mid-season review
2009-09-21 23:22:00 Saki, we need to talk. It's nothing bad, really, it's just ... I'll be honest. I wasn't sure that we'd get along at first. You seemed to be too fake-cutesy, with those ridiculous ever-blushing cheeks, but always flashing your legs at me. It was a creepy mixed signal thing that got on my nerves. And Nodoka, always bouncing her big chest like that....I thought, can you both really be so innocent as you're gazing into each other's eyes longingly? But fine, I set that aside. Then you really started taking off. You let your innate abilities show, like you were finally free to be yourself. Sure, I noticed a few things, like the way you suddenly throw your ass into my face, dress up to please the guys in bathing suits, yukata and maid costumes all while you're looking at Nodoka so intensely. It kind of freaks me out. Like, pick one, okay? Can you not be the G-rated version of Girls Gone Wild? But I know that's not really your fault. You just want to get ahead in the world and t...

Bojan Krkic Could be Barcelona's Trump Card this season
2009-09-18 11:08:00 Zlatan Ibrahmovic, the tall Swedish Striker has been the focus point of all discussion regarding FC Barcelona this season, and I firmly believe that this is going to continue throughout this season. Guardiola's decision to replace swap Eto with Ibrahmovic did raise some eyebrows (including mine) and Zlatan's every action on the pitch will be under the scanner for the whole season. He will be compared to Eto's achievement and contribution at every nook and corner and he better get used to it. The whole point for which Guardiola acquired Ibrahmovic was to give Barca an edge which we were lacking, especially the aerial threat. But his performance at the San Siro especially in the aerial department does not justify that. I know it is too early to judge him. He is one of the most talented striker in Europe and way more skilled than Samuel Eto. But the early indications show that he will take some time to integrate into Barca's playing style. My biggest concern seeing him was his atti...
