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

I wish we'd stop turning the ball over.

[ChiCubsFan]

Just keep it close and blow them out in the 4th quarter.

[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.

 

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

 

Oh and horrible unforced turnovers

 

horrible unforced turnovers = playing like ass

 

2 games in a row now where they can't hang on to the ball.

 

this is the 8 seed, guys. they won like 37 games. settle down and play like you did in the regular season.

[DivineBovine]

I can't take Quinn Buckner anymore. What's next? Stacey King in game 4?

 

 

And if the Bulls knew what they were doing, they would beat that trap any time. They should be able to score 4 on 3.

[Old Style]

Bulls are sloppy, but this officiating is [expletive] terrible.

1) That was a GOALTEND

 

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

 

 

NBATV sucks. The officials suck.

 

Can't say I agree on the goaltend. I don't think the ball had hit the glass yet. But another replay may prove me wrong on that.

 

As for Buckner, that's NBATV's fault. He's the Pacers announcer and is announcing primarily on the Pacers normal channel. He's not the biggest homer in the world and is willing to say when the Pacers catch a break but is definitely somewhat a homer.

[17 Seconds]

have the bulls had a 10 point lead in this series?

That's fine. Jon Miller does SF Giants games locally, and he's not a homer when he does them nationally. Quinn Buckner should be a bit more professional. He probably doesn't realize it.

[Careless]

Brutal 2.5 games to watch

[bcl412]

Play like a one seed soon please.

Funny, Buckner usually goes out of his way to be anti-IU when he does college basketball. He's a jackwagon anyway.

[rawaction]

I feel like this series is just opening up a big can of worms for the rest of the Eastern conference. A more talented team is going to be able to beat the Bulls if things don't turn for the better soon.

It's a little different in this case. Miller signs a contract to do national games and therefore has a responsibility to be objective. This is probably just an agreement for NBATV to use the local feed. It's not the announcers responsibility to change because they never agreed to broadcast to a national audience. But I can understand why you would be frustrated with his announcing!

 

I thought the officials were slightly pro Pacers in the first half. They probably got 10 calls wrong in the second quarter alone and 5-7 of them went the Pacers way while only 3-5 went the Bulls way. They definitely are not a pro offense officiating crew though-most of the calls were favoring the defensive team.

[Guest]

Haven't watched a second of this game but the Pacers only having 4 fouls in one half seems...odd.

you dont get it. nbatv is showing a local broadcast

[da bears]

11-4 foul differential...wtf?

[DivineBovine]

Put Taj back in for Boozer. How careless can you be with the ball.

[17 Seconds]

that boozer contract is looking atrocious

That said, it's pretty hilarious NBA playoff games continue to be on NBATV.

[DivineBovine]

OK. I get it. NBATV is bush league and picks up the local broadcast.

 

But Quinn Buckner is still out of control.

 

 

Geez Boozer. Shoot it from above your waist.

[Old Style]

Dear Carlos Boozer, try not to keep sucking.

[Guest]

Boozer is playing like ass.

[DivineBovine]

Boozer is playing like he's 45. 2 steps slower than everyone else.

[bcl412]

What the [expletive] is wrong with this team?

 

I'm sick of Boozer playing like trash.

[Guest]

I don't know if these guys are homers or not but the color commentator is an idiot. Not Dick Stockton bad, but still an idiot. "What did I tell you? This is playoff basketball. No basket is easy."
