Same. Such an ugly win. They haven't shown they could play crisp ball in the playoffs yet. Thing is, they clicked in and out of sync all season. I just don't know. Seems like a playing to the competition thing.

Stacey King is out of his mind. Rose played terribly tonight, and so did Deng. Boozer played well.

Boozer played well. Yeah, I had to say it twice, because it might be the last time I say it for a long while.

Even when Boozer plays well, he has about a half dozen seriously dumb plays.

Pacers have a great future. A few trades, let the young guys develop, and they will be in good shape.

lots of respect for them

The bulls are hilariously bad, and Rose is the new "kome"

MVP point guard with more rebounds then assists

MVP MVP MVP

Yeah, so explain to me again why I would want to throw away Rondo for Rose?

AKA, NBA-GAF doesn't know shit.


I like Rose, he is being not used properly for the type of player he really is.

To be honest, though, Indiana type teams are the Bulls weakness. Lengthy, athletic, and quick teams always hurt us. Luckily there aren't many left in the playoffs.

Chicago slowly starting to become more disliked, people getting tired of having Rose shoved down their throats, my "new Cavs" prediction taking shape nicely.

Because Rose on a bad night = 36 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists.

No one on the Pacers had a "good" game. Not one player was a consistent contributor.

just because Rose is greatly over rated doesnt mean he's still not a better player than rajon refuses to shoot a wide open 12 foot jumpshot rondo

Rose really never has a bad game though as on his worst, he's better than a lot of players and impacts the game that much.

But yeah, for him, this wasn't his best effort.

NBA GAF, I come to you asking for your help:

I was in one of these threads a while ago, and I saw a Derrick Rose comic/cartoon where he had the same emotion in different situations (winning, losing, etc.).

Anybody have this saved on their computer/ know where I can find this?

Thanks for your help

Talking about their defense. Bulls had trouble with their active D. Sorry for not elaborating.

Neither one of those are valid points. Point Guards don't need/shouldn't need to score primarily.

If you are going to tell me Rajon's shot is shit, that has been common knowledge his entire career.

Its more like my "new Cavs" prediction that you happened to bandwagon on to.

But there is no shame in ridin' Crimsondamas' coattails so I ain't even mad.

All that counts are Ws,, if you don't think this team can turn it on against the best of the best, you must have missed the regular season(and yes, SOME teams tried to win then, you don't automatically get better in the playoffs).

Winning ugly is part of basketball, there are no style points.

he doenst need to be a scorer, but he becomes a huge liability when the other guys on the team are constantly double teamed because he gets no respect. It works out for now, but if you're banking on a Rondo led team in the future, then you're in for a surprise.

Yes, because the regular season counts so much. Ask the Cadavaliers.

Who are you to tell us what a point guard should and shouldn't do? He's a basketball player and they simply need to do everything that they can to win.

I'm not denying that, but my comparison here is you are relying on him to be your PG as well. He would be much MUCH better at the SG position with a average/above average PG on the team. Rondo being forever alone is a scary thing.

THE PAST!!!!!!

The Bulls had a few rough games and all of of sudden, they are just like the Cavaliers.

The Bulls have arrived, they are more hated than the Heat now.

Barkley's right about Noah. 2/10, 4 pts, 10 rebounds.

I don't know if his role is so clear anymore. He's not getting as many hustle points/tip-ins. Boozer is going to cut into his rebounding naturally, which is fine. Just not sure why they haven't played well together yet.

Rose's workload is pretty crazy. 11/25 isn't ideal, but he has Noah scoring 4 points, and Bogans in his starting lineup. My balls Rondo dishes 17 assists in that offense. Rose gets his assists when the offense clicks in, and the game gets easy. It's not getting easy against Indiana though. Noah and Boozer each had 3 TO, Deng 4, Rose 6. It's the entire offenses fault.
