2011 Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread (5/26 7:30pm CST - TNT)

[Guest]

And because I'm bored...through 2 playoff games, which player leads the NBA in Hollinger's postseason PER (player efficiency rating)?

 

Hollis Price

 

Oh dammit, why did you have to remind me of that team? WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FINALS.

Seeing Jared Jeffries playing on the Knicks gives me the same feeling.

 

Who was Indiana's center that year? I remember him being a total stiff and then inexplicably dropping 20 on us. Nevermind, I dont want to think about it.

 

Jeff Newton

Kidd's hit like 10 3s and he's shooting like 70 percent, it has to be him. PER is real friendly to small samples

 

You mean like Juwan Howard's 50.49 PER in 3 minutes of 1 game?

. . . who was not a stiff at all (technically, he wasn't a starter, as that was Jared Odle, nor a center). Newton was first team all-Big Ten the following season. Indiana's frontcourt was excellent in both 2000-01 and 2001-02.

Collison will start, but how long he can go or how effective he will be is still a huge question mark.

Oh god. Kill that team with fire. Glad I'm not the only one victimized by those suckers. We should form a support group.

 

CURSE YOU JASON WILLIAMS WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MISS THAT FREE THROW!!

That is sort of a blessing for Duke fans considering it could have gone down as one of the worst blown calls in NCAA history if Boozer had made that follow up shot. Duke probably goes on to win the title and that play where nobody touches Williams would have been replayed over and over again as one of the most blatant examples of Duke bias ever known.

 

These two teams tonight have a combined 5 Duke players. That's pretty crazy.

[DivineBovine]

Can we build a lead please? Geez.

[DivineBovine]

Bye Boozer.

[ctcf]

Wow Boozer. Just wow.

[DivineBovine]

The Bulls might be shooting 50%, but their offense is out of sync. Their passing is horrible.

[Guest]

Wow Boozer. Just wow.

 

What happened?

[DivineBovine]

Wow Boozer. Just wow.

 

What happened?

 

 

Getting his layups blocked, making stupid fouls.

[DivineBovine]

Deng is on fire.

[DivineBovine]

Um, that was an offensive foul.

[CubColtPacer]

Um, that was an offensive foul.

 

It definitely was. Big break for the Pacers on that play.

[DivineBovine]

Nice Lu.

[DivineBovine]

BullS@#t call

[CubColtPacer]

These officials are really strange. Every time there's been a 50/50 play the call has gone the opposite way of what's normally expected. It's been pretty even but I have no idea how they're calling this game right now.

[ChiCubsFan]

lol...terrible officiating. At least we're up still.

[DivineBovine]

WTF.

 

 

This is a hometown announcing crew for Indy. Is that Quinn Buckner?

[17 Seconds]

bulls playing like ass again. i'm losing confidence that they'll even get out of the second round. if they keep playing like this, the magic will crush them.

[17 Seconds]

oh, and it's embarrassing that NBATV is using local announcers for playoff games

[DivineBovine]

1) That was a GOALTEND

 

2) Quinn Buckner should stop openly cheering the Pacers on a national telecast.

 

 

NBATV sucks. The officials suck.

[17 Seconds]

rose can't even dribble anymore

Hard to not "play like ass" when you can't get into any offensive rhythm due to dubious calls.

 

Oh and horrible unforced turnovers
