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

That's more like it. I sometimes feel more confident with Deng than Rose.

 

Are you sure you're a Bulls fan?

 

Maybe he's been watching the playoffs.

 

I'm a Duke fan too. I've been watching most of the season.

[da bears]

I love d rose but he has sucked this round. 10-27 and 8 turnover is absolutely horrible. Frankly he got outplayed by jeff Teague tonight.

[Derwood]

Certainly an M-V-P worthy performance.

 

he's resting up for the Boston series

I just looked this up.....before Rose's 9 3 point attempts tonight, he was leading everyone in the postseason averaging 7.3 three point attempts per game. The next most is Kevin Durant, who averages 6.5. The difference of course is that Rose makes 1.7 of those attempts and Durant 3.0

I have a feeling it's ankle concerns. No real evidence aside from the complete lack of driving, and thus FT attempts, but something's off.

Is there a quieter crowd in Chicago than the ones for Bulls games? I feel like they've been quiet throughout both of these two games

6 of their 7 playoff games they've played poorly. The crowd is scared.

Who would have thought that Jeff Teague would be the best PG this series.

The Hawks are playing off of him more than any team I've seen, and Rose is obliging them by bricking 3s.

[Tyrant]

Seriously? I think he'll have plenty of time to rest before he takes on the 8th seed again next postseason.

[Guest]

Timed my dinner to be done cooking by 7pm tonight and we sat down at 7pm to watch the Bulls tipoff. Turned on the game and there's only 10 minutes left in the entire game. Doh! I gotta pay closer attention to the times posted in these game threads.

This is the Derrick Rose that has existed for the last 40-50 games. I have a feeling that Howard is going to leave after next year, join up with whoever, win a handful of titles and it won't be long before this is referred to as the most embarrassing MVP vote of all time.

Yeah because Derrick rose is definitely gonna be on the decline' :roll:

Getting knocked out by the Hawks will give him an extra week as well.

you're not so good at the reading, are you

Indeed, the Hawks looked primed to take 3 of the next 5 games.

[apete6]

I think they're chanting World-B-Free

 

Or maybe T-O-V?

 

Don't-Shoot-3s?

 

S-A-T?

 

Ahhh, it's Scal-A-Breen

 

25-10-6

 

Still better than about 95% of Rondo's playoff games.

Even I'm not going to agree with that. Rose sucked tonight.

He's had probably 1 game that bad this postseason. He has never in his career (regular season and playoffs)missed as many shots as Iverson did tonight, and he's turned it over more just once in his career(Bobcats in '09)

[da bears]

Seriously, does this have to turn into a [expletive] pissing match after every [expletive] game? It's always the same damn thing.

Maybe rose should play better.

[17 Seconds]

If anyone actually cared about Carlos Boozer he'd get Td up more than Dwight Howard. [expletive] the Bulls are unlikable.

 

a celtics fan claling the bulls unlikable?

 

hahahahahahahhahaa

[Derwood]

it's cute how imb! and SSR are preemptively trolling the Bulls for when their teams inevitably lose this round. I'm sure it makes them feel better

[17 Seconds]

it's funny how the rate of SSR's trolling has steadily increased as it has become more and more obvious that the celtics window is closing rapidly.

 

it's gonna be funny where the celtics are in 2-3 years. rondo and........? a washed up paul pierce? (more opporunties for coming out of the tunnel in a wheel chair though)

 

meanwhile, rose/noah/deng will all still be easily under 30 and we'll still be an awesome defensive team.

 

u mad?
