Two (Kinda Related) Thoughts

1. Since it's on True Hoop, everyone's going to see it and talk about it, but it's worth quoting anyway:

My prediction is that the Bulls are going to stink this year. Ben Gordon and Brad Miller were there best players. They let Ben Gordon go to the team they need to beat for the playoffs? Why'd they do that?

He wanted a lot of money.
Well, he's worth it.

Letting him go is just beyond stupid. It's ridiculous. And who'd they pick up to replace him? Jannero Pargo?


Exactly.

2. The big talk thus far in training camp is that this year the Bulls are going to focus on defense. How are they going to replace Gordon? Defense. How are they going to improve on last season? Defense. Defense, defense, defense.

Now, I'm not opposed to improving defense. It's half the game, and the Bulls were terrible at it last year. But, since I haven't seen it elsewhere, I think it's worth pointing out that they were, um, just as awful on the offensive end last year. And that they lost arguably their most potent offensive player from that team. And that during their best stretch of ball last season (the 12-6 run at the end of the year), they were a team that won by outscoring their opponents, not out-defending them.

Now, again, this isn't to say that the Bulls can't win through defense or that they don't need to improve it. But I'm a bit concerned. It's kinda the opposite of the old saw about how when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like nail. My fear is the Bulls don't have a full hammer (i.e., an offense and defense), so they're telling themselves they can drive in a nail with just a handle, and no peen. It could still work, but it will not be easy.

對於想要讓自己變美的您,建炳診所提出以下建議:
1.整形前一定要選擇合法的醫療院所及合格專業的整形外科專科醫師,不要以價錢為依據,拿自己的身體當試驗品。
2.整形手術前一定要與醫師充分的溝通,因為美是主觀的,所以表達什麼是你想要的型態是讓整形成功的重要因素。
3.整形手術前如果未達法定年齡18歲,就需要徵求父母的同意,由爸爸媽媽陪同一起接受諮詢及診療。
本診所提供最完整的整形各項手術如:微整形雙眼皮隆乳隆鼻抽脂五爪拉皮眼袋除疤自體脂肪移植玻尿酸整形…等。歡迎進入網站瀏覽或親洽建炳整形外科診所洽詢。
