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

[Sosa21MVP]

Congrats Bulls fans. =D> I hoped for a better game tonight but Chicago finally put their collective foot down on the Pacers.

[Brian]

I miss Stacey King already : (

 

Hopefully he'll be MCing the rally in Grant Park :wink:

I thought Comcast would be doing one more series but I guess not.

That's weird. As long as I've remembered the local announcers do the 2nd round too. When did they change it?

[bukie]

Bulls next game will be Monday, 5/2.

Laughed until I felt bad about it.

Scottie trying to give out some hot sauce on the Ronnie Brewer alley oop, and Stacey shutting him down and scolding him for using it wrong may be my highlight of the season so far.

[Brian]

So Granger is calling out Noah as a dirty player? Um, was he watching this series he had like 4 guys on his team throwing elbows at peoples heads.

Good for him, I hope he enjoys watching basketball the rest of the playoffs.

GET FIRED UP!!!!

Le Coq Sportif

 

French athletic apparel.

 

Btw, so the Bulls won, but I think we can all agree that we are the real winners having been witness to the TV debut of Jo Noah's sister. Gorgeous.

Was that Noah trying to literally take Deng out with an elbow to head? Or being called for 2 flagrant fouls in game 3? I think that was your teamate Mr. Granger you know - Jeff Foster.

[gflore34]

Imagine this team with LeMarcus Aldridge

 

I'll take OJ Mayo, team him up with Rose that's maybe even realistic.

Ok I'm curious ... what the heck was this pic?

Calling Noah a dirty player while McRoberts committed like 6 dirty fouls this series and Hansbrough and Hibbert spent 5 games trying to outflop each other is what you'd expect an 8 seed who just got eliminated to do. I'd rather concern myself with Atlanta or Orlando.

[Andy]

Although it should be noted that whoever taught Hansbrough to flail his limbs wildly every time he goes up for a contested shot should probably be hired by a slew of prospective pros. The move seems to work more than it doesn't.

[ctcf]

After this series, Tyler Hansbrough might be my least favorite player in the NBA.

Finally saw her on the replay and good crikey were you right. Almost explains why Joakim looks like he does, because his sister got all the good looks in that generation.

McRoberts, Boozer, Noah, Foster, and Thomas all threw notable elbows in this series (and I easily could be missing someone-did Hibbert throw one at any point?). It was not confined to one side-not at all.

 

And it definitely looks like Noah got McRoberts with a pretty nasty elbow right before he tried to swing at him (which is also what McRoberts said happened). McRoberts was really dumb to go after him though-at least Noah's was slightly in the flow of play.

Apparently it doesn't work that often because Hansbrough shot less than 4 free throws a game despite going hard to the rim all series.

[Banedon]

With all the foul trouble last night, I'm wondering why Kurt Thomas never got in the game. I mean, I know Taj played really well, so I'm not really complaining. It just struck me as unusual.

 

I wonder if Bogans starts getting more minutes if he's gonna start hitting 3's. He's really done that most of the series (though not as much as he did last night).
