[EC 1st round] CHI vs BOS

Arg. Wrong thread, 2nd time in less than an hour.

 

Just got back. Major choke job again by the Bulls. Derrick Rose made bad decisions, Salmons and Hinrich were too nervous to take wide-open mid-range jumpers. How many times does Salmons have to get his shot blocked at the rim to learn a 12 foot jumper is a good option. Rose with 2-3 crucial TOs in the final 2 minutes of regulation. It would have been nice if Vinny actually called a play after a Bulls timeout instead of just giving it to Rose or Gordon to isolate while everyone else watches.

I'm not even sure I want the Bulls to win the series now because they would get demolished by the Magic without putting up much of a fight.

 

one good game doesn't make you a stud, Derrick rose is a turnover machine, Salmons thinks he's a good 1 on 1 player and Ben Gordon doesn't know what a good shot is.

 

the funny thing is, if Boston actually had a good coach this series would have been over with already.

 

Sometimes it seems like Rose dribbles too fast for his own good.

Great series though, this Rose/Rondo matchup has been awesome. I though the CP3/Billups matchup would have been the best PG matchup coming into the playoffs.

 

Ben Gordon's non-reaction is hilarious.

 

If Rose had a couple of years under his belt in the NBA the result of this series would have been very different. The Bulls are up and coming and will be a force in the East for years to come.

On the other hand, Ben Gordon is a FA this summer and he's proven this in his career--he can be a closer in a close game. Which team that we all love needs a closer? Ding ding ding.

 

Best series in the playoffs from a fan's perspective; exciting to watch. The Bulls are a team of the future.

 

Bulls had this game.

Coaching meltdown.

If Pierce makes 3 - 4 tough jumpshots, why not double him like others suggested and let someone else beat you???

 

Or at least force him left. All of his late turnaround jumpers were spin moves to the right.

 

just saw it. Unbelievable that that foul was not flagrant. The league is a joke with reffing like this. An utter joke.

 

Agreed. I can't believe that wasn't considered a flagrant foul. Anytime you hit the head like that it's a flagrant foul.

 

Well according to some here last night, they wouldn't know a flagrant foul if Rondo had popped them in their mouth.

 

I think B Miller is going to take down some Celtics in tonite's game.

 

Coach in training. *sigh*

That Vinny dude should learn the term "double team".

 

well guys, what should we expect ????


Quad overtime, and we miss half the rocket game? I'd kill people.

 

I bet Brad Miller is going to pop Rondo.

 

surly this game will lower scoring , they gotta be tired.

 

If I was a bulls fan I'd be livid at the blatant Celtics favoritism in this series.
