Anybody care? For what it's worth I'm a Knicks fan.:rockon:
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Lakers fan here. The reason I care this year is because the Lakers are trying to trade for the number two pick. They also have 4 second round picks. I'm kinda thinking the Lakers and Wolves wont be able to agree on a trade in time for the draft tomorrow. I heard Igoudala for Odom is a possibility though...
Bulls fan here. I'm interested, as always. Curious to see how the Bulls address their need for a 2 Guard. There are some decent ones out there, and the Bulls have 2 late first round picks (28 & 30). I would like to see them trade up a bit, but so far I have heard nothing along those lines.
Well, I agree they could use help at Center, but I see SG being a much bigger weakness for this team. These playoffs made the obvious stand out even more. Rose needs scoring help. It was almost painful watching Rose trying to take over at the end of the Miami series, when it was obvious he was completely worn down. It made him look like he regressed 4 years, simply because of the fatigue.Gaucho said:I think the Bulls need to get a good centre before they worry about a second guard. Noah can rebound, but other than that the guy really struggles.
Bulls fan here too, so power to you PDubb!
If my memory is correct, the Bulls were near the top of the league in Inside Scoring, Rebounds, Blocks. So, while a big man that can score would be a boost, that isn't a glaring weakness. Noah's hustle and determination balances out some of his deficiencies.

Agree on Noah, he does try hard, although I still think it is a big weakness of Chicago.
As far as scorers, I think it is high time Deng and Boozer step up. Deng is always there or there abouts, but he has more talent than he displays and Boozer just disappears some games. In those Miami games, it was indeed painful to watch Rose have to do it all, but even when he drew extra defensive attention, Boozer and Deng et al just wouldn't take the shots and instead turn around and look for Rose again. These guys have to get confidence in themselves and take more shots, big shots too. They have the points in them.
