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.

Sure..

Regular season doesnt mean shit..

Just ask Dallas, Seattle, LA(88-89) etc...

The playoffs is were its at..

Yeah but you have Percy Harvin of the Vikings that missed games from them yet Wade looks fine in every game he plays with them???

Something might be up.

Holy shit I can't wait for NBA-gaf to continue calling the Bulls and Rose garbage after they sweep.

37-6-7
2-0

Get the fuck out of here.

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
I'll worry about it when they actually loose a game. A win is a win, spurs 0-1, Lakers 0-1. East top 3 seeds undefeated. West overrated!! ;)

I know migraines are legit but this is Dwyane Wade. He tries so hard to have his Paul Pierce moment every game.

Bulls deserve all the hate they're getting on this board right now. They're playing like pure trash out there.

Pacers are a totally capable team. They were the first team to blowout the Heat this year. They had a nearly perfect quarter offensively earlier in the year, missing one at the buzzer. They didn't keep it up, but they have a deep personnel. I just feel bad Collison went down for Pacer fans. They deserve to see the team play it out, with clean officiating. I'm hoping Collison gets back, you just can't tell with ankle sprains..

There is no such thing as winning playoff games = playing like trash. It's just GAF stupidity.

I thought they'd play better this game but maybe they need to get away from home to focus better.

Many teams for some reason play better on the road in times like these.

Personally, I think the Bulls have yet to get into a playoff rhythm.

I can't see them playing this way for long, maybe the pressure is getting to them and they will settle down, the curse of being the top seed!!!!!!!

Yeah, I was somewhat unfair but it's interesting to me, I am not downplaying migraines, never had them before but have seen firsthand the effects of someone that has.

Not when you are expected to DOMINATE as the Team with the best record in the NBA(NO INJURIES) against the 8th seed should do.

Jason Kidd, the consumate pass-first point guard, just said it best

"my job is to set the table and get the ball moving and if the shots present themselves I have to be aggressive."

Or he's just playing SG too, because the Bulls don't have one. The Bulls can't win without him doing what he does. The stat heads and the purists don't get that.

I was not happy he went down, he's the key to their team.

3 days rest could get him ready but like you said, ankles are iffy.

Jason Kidd actually became a good shooter. Rondo's not a great anything anymore ever since his boy toy left.

When will I be allowed to say they are not Cavs-like? Finals appearance? Championship?

I actually agree. We aren't shit until we win. That's my mantra as an NBA fan and I can't back down from that.

So because he has a PG next to his name he should dish off to Deng, Bogans and Noah at a combined 6-28 instead of driving the lane and taking what he wants? What a stupid argument.

I guess you love the way Rondo gives up wide open layups so he can make Sportcenter for his assist totals.

Pacers get BS offensive foul call then Rose clearly fouls Price and complains like no foul occurred. WTF. Another BS call deciding the game. Last few games have proved that REFS and David Stern are the true MVPs of the NBA.

Not on paper.. On the court. You are supposed to be DOMINANT, but these two teams have looked pretty much on par.

Funny. Our last NBA Championship doesn't really say anything about not dominating the Hawks...

I felt that the refs were bad for both sides. Two clear Noah blocks in the 4th were called fouls.

That's part of the problem though. He doesn't set his teammates up.

Look at Chris Paul in game 1...he was able to get good looks for even his scrubbiest teammates. That's what a good point guard does.

Selective bickering, did you miss the bad calls and noncalls on the Bulls???

Noah's block, I could go on and on and on...

Just because a team like the Pacers needs everything to fall perfectly to win doesn't mean the refs should give them the majority of the calls, that's not the reality of anything.
