John Wall Doesn't Scare Me

That may have been the weakest punch I have ever seen a professional athlete throw.  I would let John Wall punch me in the ribs right now, I don't even know if I would get a bruise.  John Wall just skyrocketed up the list of NBA players I would fight if my life depended on it.

Bill Laimbeer Is Still a Dick

ESPNChicago - Bill Laimbeer wasn't much of a fan of the last Chicago Bull to win MVP, and he doesn't appear too enamored with the franchise's current contender for the award, Derrick Rose.
The former Detroit Pistons center and current Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach didn't care to make comparisons between Rose and five-time MVP Michael Jordan, but offered up one criticism of Rose.
"I wouldn't compare them because I don't really care about either of them," Laimbeer said Wednesday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "One is a point guard and one is a shooting guard. They are two completely different positions. Derrick Rose has a lot to learn also as far as getting his teammates more involved. He takes the ball a lot himself these days. But he's a very aggressive player, he's fast, he's strong and he has the great skillset to be very successful. To compare the two would be a stretch at this point."

What's Going on With Bruce Weber and Oklahoma?

 

Chicago Sun-Times -  The Norman (Okla.) Transcript, citing a “well-placed” source, said Illinois coach Bruce Weber has emerged as a viable candidate to become the next coach at Oklahoma, saying there appears to be mutual interest.

Weber, who has been at Illinois the last eight seasons, appears to have some reasons to find Oklahoma attractive, the paper said.
Earlier this season, athletic director Ron Guenther issued a statement supporting Weber’s future at Illinois when it looked like it might miss the NCAA tournament for the third time in four years.
Illinois must replace four senior starters next season.
The source said another factor that could make OU attractive to Weber is that Guenther’s contract expires at the end of June. If it’s not renewed, the paper said Weber’s seat could get hot under a new athletic director.

Asik and Destroy: Bulls win 108-91

Like I said after the Bulls lost to the Sixers, you didn't want to be the Timberwolves on Wednesday night.  The Bulls did not start the game slow like they had the last few games and dominated the crappy T-Wolves 108-91.  It was nice to see the Bulls bounce back, but not really that impressive considering that I'm pretty sure the Bulls "Bench Mob" (the nickname given to the bench players by CJ Watson) could have beat the T-Wolves by 10 by themselves.
