Toss 3 guys on Allen, one each on House and Scalabrine.

Textbook moving screen there on Big Baby to free House.

How do the Bulls possibly screw this one up? 4-point play?
-
The correct answer was Brad Miller, and 40 feet from the basket.
-
Why do you not foul him with his back to the basket there? The Celtics have no timeouts, and he can't tie the game with 2 free throws.

NHL W. Conference Finals: Red Wings defeat Blackhawks 4-1

Yes they do. no offense to Blues fans but they are not as good as the Hawks. Also, even though it was a sweep, 3 or those games were pretty close. I am leaning towards the Canucks winning this series, but it is not a slam dunk. I can see the Canucks almost dominating and winning it in 5. If the series goes deep, I like the Hawks chances. I'm worried about that too, but it's just my general paranoia. And the fact that the last two times these two teams played each other Vancouver kicked the living crap out of the Hawks. I think the only way that happens is if Khabi comes off his mountain and just lays an egg. Which could happen, but I think he is going to be fine and this is going to be a 6/7 game series Hawks in 4. -
After taking about 12 hours to soak everything in, here's what I'm most annoyed about: - After the Celtics started getting back into the game after being down 11, Del Negro didn't call a TO to stop the bleeding until the game was already back within 2. VDN really needs to attend some sort of time out strategy seminar over the summer or something. - Where the [expletive] was Tyrus Thomas in the second half and OT, after Boston finally figured out how to counter the small lineup with constant dribble-drives? - Why in the world was Hinrich guarding Marbury in the OT, while Pierce was putting on a clinic on Salmons and Rose couldn't keep up with Rondo? Also, with Marbury AND Tony Allen on the floor simultaneously, why are you even guarding them? - There is no doubt that by the book, Rondo's foul on Miller was a flagrant. He even admitted as such after the game. He wasn't going for the ball, not even close. If the best argument against a flagrant is that "you don't call that at the end of the game, because you can't let officiating decide the game", well my response is this: Not calling a flagrant there did decide the game with officiating.
-
Right, a desperation swat at the ball where Rondo simply misjudged how long and quick his arm was by about 4 feet and 2 seconds. He wasn't anywhere near the ball.
-
No, I think the Bulls have been doing it right. Among Pierce/Allen/Rondo, you still want your worst defender on Rondo, as you'd rather make him beat you than the other 2. Never Allen.

NHL W. Conference Finals: Red Wings defeat Blackhawks 4-1

I'm not basing this on anything concrete, but it would seem to me the team with home-ice and a week of rest would be most susceptible right away. So, I think the Blackhawks' best shot at this series would be to steal game 1 right away before Vancouver knows what hit them. -

I said all along they had to win a series to really capitalize on the momentum they've built. I still think that is the case. Everything from here on out is gravy. As long as they don't embarrass themselves this round, it's not going to hurt them to lose it. They were the 4th best team in the conference and made it to the final four of the conference. They played exciting hockey, won three home playoff games and generally fulfilled all the promise they had. Obviously winning this series and matching up with Detroit would be a tremendous boost, but they are still in line to improve going into next year and take the next step. Really, though, the Blackhawks were the 3rd best team in the conference, two poor performances against the Canucks notwithstanding. These are two pretty evenly-matched teams, with the Blackhawks having been the far better team in the first half of the season, and the Canucks having been the better team in the second half of the season. -
Boo, Cubs offensive effort. Yay, Dan Haren CG!

I think if the Hawks can just focus on what they do better than their opponent (skating, finesse), and not get caught up in the bullying/physical play, they should win tonight. I remain convinced the Hawks can beat any team outside of Detroit in a 7-game series. -
Have the results of the MRI been announced? Hamstring strain, day-to-day, likely to play game 5. Might not even need to be carried onto the floor by his teammates or get up from a wheelchair.
-
With Al Davis in charge, this is as good as a Mad Libs. Fill in the blank.
-
You don't think Garnett is in an obvious decline? If not statistically, at least physically.
-
The way I see it, Tyrus should have been looking to distribute the ball in that situation, not because of the difference in FT shooting with the guards (who were missing every other FT late too, so no fair to bag on Tyrus), but because it would have (A) milked more of the clock, and (B) been less susceptible to a turnover, as the ocean of difference in ball-handling skills would make a fair assumption.
-
That's odd, I was allowed to drop my extras.
-
Oh darn, there goes the possibility of the Bulls having home court in a series. :)
-
If I lose by less than 5 points again, I'm going to throw something. Probably at Andy Sonnanstine.
-
They still aren't winning this series, unless this game has the same effect the end of game 2 had on the Bulls. However, at least it's going the distance.
-
Why jump out on him? Just awful defensive series there.
-
It happens so rarely, I feel the need to point it out...that was actually good defense by the Bulls.
-
I really have no issue with picking Freeman, but I'd still like to see them address the line with a player that may actually play one day.
