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

I do not think Miller or whoever that is knows what "statuesque" means.

This isn't quite Sacramento/LA Game 6, but it's getting there.

 

You really think so? I know the free throw differential is bad, but outside of that last charge on Noah, I don't it's been all that bad. They just go into the lane much more than we do.

 

It's a whole different discussion about why the NBA would be pushing for the team that 90% of the country wants to lose.

 

I think it's little things and not so much a completely out of whack FT discrepancy. It's more than Crawford and Salvatore are pretty easily swayed by a home crowd.

 

Yeah I guess I can understand the home crowd factor. But other than that, I don't think it's surprising that they get more free throws than us. Maybe not this many, but their personnel is going to lead to it.

I thought the flagrant was absurd, I think they consistently blow continuation calls, loose ball fouls, etc.

 

I don't think it's a fix, a la SAC/LA, but these guys suck at their jobs.

[Billy_Buck]

I blame Spalding for these balls not going in, more than anything else. Obviously unbalanced.

[Flames24Rulz]

How do you bite on that fake? Come on, Taj.

[Magnetic Curses]

these guys always fake the first shot

[TruffleShuffle]

dwyane wade's sidekick sure seems to be shouldering a lot of the load again.

he's had to, since Wade has sucked all game

I think it's more an overall problem with how the rules are interpreted, especially the continuation call, like you said. LBJ's last and-1, any of Wade's fadeaways, even Rose's first dunk....none of those should really be continuation.

 

But yeah...it's really tough for me to buy into the fixed thing.

[Careless]

So what's the series at if the Bulls shoot 33% on the wide open 3s they've taken?

they called that last continuation on Boozer who really was close enough for that to be a good call.

[kujay]

Yeah, run some offense there. LBJ is too tall for Rose to shoot over him.

[Billy_Buck]

Oh my.

[bcl412]

Get a stop and knock down a shot for a heartbreaking Heat loss please.

[squally1313]

This is going to come down to a Thib's 5 second play, either for the tie or for the win.

[cubbyvirus00]

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Rose clanking a FT, then taking a fallaway jumper over a taller LBJ? This is some epic fail. He has a better chance at driving to the hoop then hitting a shot.

[Billy_Buck]

So, Heat guys: who gets the shot?

FIX

[kujay]

Oh my god. I can't believe that call. Here we go!

[Billy_Buck]

:shock:

 

ABOUT DARN TIME

[USSoccer]

Wow, that was a crappy call

[Magnetic Curses]

that is why lebron is a clown

[Flames24Rulz]

Ronnie Brewer is my hero.

[E.J.]

I want to have sex with Ronnie Brewer right now.
