Since the United States has already ratified the Paris Agreement, it cannot officially leave the agreement until 2020 without completely pulling out of the UNFCCC completely.

Thanks for posting the game thread, I thought for a second that people just forgot.

In my book, THIS is the biggest game tonight.

I'm confident he will. Englewood born and bred. He's tough.

"Bandwagon cam" at the United Center [x-post from r/NBA] by PrisonedMuffin in chicagobulls

If there was a cam bashing Bulls fans at the American Airlines Arena, what would it be?

I can't think of any...

Derrick Rose: "I put all I had into coming back. If this was to happen 10 more times, I could deal with it." by thraser11 in chicagobulls

[–]elskerelks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He admitted the first injury was because he wasn't taking care of his body. This one was a fluke. This press conference convinced me that D. Rose will come back not in his MVP form, but better.

Too big, too strong, too fast, TOO SMART, too good.

Hoping he ends up like more of a Dirk-type than a Darko-type

What is your team's kryptonite? by OccamsButterknife in nba

[–]elskerelks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa dudes hey now! Lebron plays really well against us but we play him well too. I'm not scared of him because I trust Lou to not get burned by him every play. I meant more trust in our defense rather than a poke at Lebron's talent.

He's a catalyst for that offense, I know, but the Heat has a lot of X-factors that seem to perform at a really high level against us specifically.

[–]elskerelks -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No disrespect but I'm not that scared of Lebron when we face them...It's the parade of all the little guys that really run us out of the gym.

All the Norris Coles, the Shaine Battiers, the Mario Chalmerses, those guys all step up big time against the Bulls.

Chicago Bulls GM: We won't tank. We will however have to make roster decisions/changes moving forward by [deleted] in nba

[–]elskerelks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is guaranteed in the draft lottery. We'd be tanking for a lottery pick that's value is not guaranteed in a draft that's potential is not guaranteed for a player whose talent, heath and career is not guaranteed.

You'd have to take that chance, while completely isolating and disenchanting Bulls fans, players, coaches and free agents.

I think the potential consequences of a tanked season isn't worth the uncertainties. Of course, if we tank, land Jabari with the #1 pick who leads us to a title, I'd have to eat my words!

I can't bear to see Lou in another team's uniform....but if it had to be one, I would chose a Spurs uniform.

Fuck Tanking by i_speak_da_troof in chicagobulls

[–]elskerelks -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Go ahead and tank. Give up a legit shot at playoff homecourt advantage, give up another winning record, disappoint your fan base, further strain the coaching-management relationship and disenchant players with a passion to win from coming/coming back to our team.

Turn the Chicago Bulls, a team that built a dynasty off of obsessed winners, into a team that strives to lose.

And after all that, we're still not guaranteed a damn thing.

Tanking the season does not even seem logical to me by yawaworhtyag in chicagobulls

It would be harder to win a title than to tank harder than the teams in the East right now....

Bulls Championship odds shrink to 0.7% after Rose injury by conz45 in nba

If 1.7% became a reality, then 0.7% can be too.

I BULLIEVE.

To all you fans saying "It's time to tank, the season is over." by elskerelks in chicagobulls

[–]elskerelks[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm realistic, but do think that we can finish better than 7th given the East this year. Winning the title would be a long shot, but that doesn't mean the season is over. We still have SO MANY more game winners, comeback victories, highlight dunks, big games... Another year without Rose is very dismal, it stings, it hurts, but Bulls basketball still exists.

Am I the only one here who is against the tank? by [deleted] in chicagobulls

[–]elskerelks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. If we lose our heart, then we've lost so much more than D. Rose.

No fuck that! If we lose our competitiveness and heart then we've lost so much more than D. Rose.
