lol...I'm not saying that you should only look at regular season records to determine how a series is going to go, but to make a statement like 'the Bulls aren't a very good offensive team" and "shut down Rose and they can't score" (which is basically what they are saying). You don't win 62 games with a "not very good" offensive team. And if it was as simple as "shutting down Rose" then someone would have done it already. The comments are based in reality (i.e. the Bulls offense isn't top notch and the defense is clearly the dominant unit, the Bulls could really benefit from a consistent scorer to go along side Rose) but those comments really stretch it out. To suggest that the Hawks will win this series going away is just completely homeristic. We're not a very good offensive team. Decent, above average, etc.
