If I remember my wrestling terminology correctly, I believe that was a drop toehold.

[SouthSideRyan]

M-V-P!!!

[bcl412]

I can live with Taj over Boozer.

HERE COMES THE MVP!

[17 Seconds]

was that the worst behind the back pass of all time, or the best?

[Careless]

Wow, down to 3

[SouthSideRyan]

Umm, wouldn't the smarter pass have been to the guy actually streaking to the basket as opposed to the one with the defender 2 feet away from him?

[Careless]

The last 3 times Korver has held the ball: catches terrible Atlanta pass thrown to him, catches Atlanta pass thrown to him, throws terrible pass to Atlanta player

i almost think he was trying for that guy

[SouthSideRyan]

Atlanta takes a lot of really stupid shots/passes.

[bcl412]

Why isn't Rose attacking more?

[bukie]

Wow, Drew put Horford back in, and he got his 3rd foul almost immediately.

[Flames24Rulz]

Boozer comes in and is immediately late on a rotation, leading to an easy basket for ATL.

 

It's too bad Atlanta offered Johnson the max.

[Mark_R]

Rose is the MVP!

CHICAGO -- Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose is the youngest Most Valuable Player award-winner in the history of the National Basketball Association, according to a source familiar with the situation.

 

 

The 22-year-old Rose was widely expected to win the award after leading the Chicago Bulls to a 62-20 record and No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

That makes more sense, maybe lost the handle halfway through the pass

I'm pretty sure that is the offensive strategy. Jason Collins has hit two long jumpers tonight, which I think doubles his total for the season.

Rose gives up the ball in transition to guys who can't do anything with it too often.

is it just me, or are the Bulls getting mauled every time they drive the lane? The refs swallowed their whistles in the first quarter, and are only now starting to call some fouls

Maybe he doesn't want a 20% shooter taking the shot.
