If you don't think Noah can't bring the ball up in transition, you haven't watched Chicago in the last two years. It's literally one of his biggest strengths. It was just a big boner in THAT situation.
I thought that was awful live, but the replay showed Rose shoving Garnett with his off-arm. It was actually a really good call. Yeah, I guess it was. [expletive]. Allen will shake Korver all day with off ball movement.
wait, what? he's doing everything he can. everybody else sucks. everytime he makes a nice pass it to a teammate it clanks off their hands or they miss a wide open jumper. This is the kind of game I would point to if anyone is actually insane enough to think Rondo is as important to the Celtics as Rose is to the Bulls. There's just no comparison. Rondo has to expend like half as much energy for the Celtics to be competitive.
The problem with Boozer being out isn't so much the difference between him and Taj, it's the difference between Taj and the assortment of clowns on the bench.
