One of the best series ever: Celtics win 4-3

[Outshined_One]

It's good to see the city of Boston have some success in sports. They really needed this.

 

they have been having it for quite a while now

 

it isn't like they needed this victory

 

Woosh.

[Flames24Rulz]

Hawks lead 4-2!

 

I love the Hawks, but not everyone in here does so it's pretty unnecessary to be posting that in a Bulls thread when there's already a thread for the Hawks.

[bcl412]

Can we do something in the off season so a first round game 7 exit isn't considered successful.

 

A new HC who isn't an idiot would be a nice start.

 

Agreed. With a good coach we win this series. Actually we probably aren't playing in this series.

your sarcasm detector is severely broken.

It's a little ray of sunshine :-D

oh...i can't see sarcasm when i am pissed off

[Flames24Rulz]

LOL Eddie House. Thanks for that laugh. What a clown.

[SpongeWorthy]

So long, Ben. You're going to be deadly when you can find a team with a post presence or who knows how to get you semi open looks.

YAY!!! We get to be destroyed by Orlando now!!!!

[Cynosure]

Make it 5-2

[Mark Priors Calves]

the bulls have nothing to be ashamed of during this series. i would have liked to see them put up a better performance tonight but i never would have thought they would have been in this situation even a month ago.

Agreed, I'll be a little frustrated for a couple of days but many didn't even expect the Bulls were going to make the playoffs this year, let alone take a first round series to seven.

 

I know Gordon was off the last couple of games in the series, but if we want to be back in this spot next year, we have to re-sign him.

This is the Bulls thread. This is your last reminder.

Exactly. I never thought they'd end their season like this. They've got the table set to be legitimately competitive again and I hope the front office doesn't [expletive] it up.

[Magnetic Curses]

nice job, bulls. now go get some more players.

[Sosa21MVP]

Good to see the better team win. Congrats to the Celtics.

 

lol, good one.

 

Why? The Bulls sure as hell did not prove themselves to be better. Don't let your homerism blind you.

[Brian]

And if you believe such a thing helps, it was really nice to get Rose out there in a competitive playoff series right off the bat.

[Flames24Rulz]

I just find it funny that you said "good" for the better team to win. I can't believe a neutral fan was happy that a team like that won a series.

 

And homerism? I take offense to that...I think I've been one of the more unbiased fans in this thread.

[Z38Cubs]

LOL Garnett just walked off after the game with that stupid scowl on his face without shaking hands. You'd figure with all the cheerleading he did during the series that he'd be involved enough to shake hands after a great, hard fought series. Even that turd Rondo did. Oh, and the Celtics did not clearly prove they were a better team. If these teams played 100 times, it would probably be 50-50. (Without Garnett)

I agree with both you. It's very hard play against the Celtics, the refs and the NBA front office yet they did, and I was very proud of how well they played considering nobody gave them a chance. I think the biggest things we've learn from this series is the following:

 

1: Boston's window isn't as open as many think. This is the second straight yr they needed to go 7 games against an "inferior" team just to survive in the playoffs. And withou KG against the Magic, I suspect the C's will be done in 5 games.

 

2: Derrick Rose is going to be the new superstar point guard off the league. Make no mistake he still have holes in his game that I suspect he is going to work on during the summer (reducing turnovers, shooting the 3 better, etc, etc), but the one thing I saw was Rose knew at times this was his team and he lead this team. He needs to do this on a more consistant basis, and when he does he will be with Williams and Paul as the next elite PG of the NBA.

 

3: Joakim Noah is the prettiest player, but he earned my respect for the way he played in this series. He is like Tyson Chandler in a lot of ways, except he isn't as injury prone. I haave great hopes for Noah going forth. Noah and Rose are the heart and soul of the Bulls moving forward.

 

4: Tyrus Thomas? After the first game, did anybody hear his name on a consistant basis? I really hope the Bulls don't give Thomas an extension, and in fact I hope to see Thomas traded this offseason. He can be a great shot blocker and rebounder, but he imo is simply too soft to play in Chicago. When the Bulls needed, he wasn't there.

 

5: I don't mind bringing Gordon back, but I wish we could trade Deng first.

 

Thank you for a great series Chicago Bulls. Boston go f-yourself you thugs.

Great post. No disagreements about any of that.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, Noah really showed me a lot the 2nd half of this season. He and Rose are two guys they can build this team around for a long time.

 

Plus it's great they have Salmons for another season.

A team like what? You obviously have a bias against the Celtics. As a Pacers fan it doesn't really matter to me. If the Bulls had pulled the upset, great. But I do think the Celtics have a better chance at making round 2 interesting.

Another 2 seasons.

 

The Bulls are going to be good next year. We need to find a PF though.

[UMFan83]

The Chicago Bulls are better than the team we just lost to (minus Garnett) and that's about all I can say right now. It's not sour grapes, its the truth.
