    I didn't see much out of line with the officiating when it came to Rondo. The problem is that Rose flat out can't guard him.
  2. SpongeWorthy
    I guess lost in the post game histrionics is the fact that Noah was in beast mode again. Dude's been playing out of his mind this series.

    Because Brad Miller is the better outside shooter. Better FT shooter, too. Yea I understand that, but man had that been Tyrus he woulda taken bout 1 step and hammered it home. No, Tyrus would also be at the FT line shooting two. Do you really think the Celtics were going to let whomever go unimpeded? Tyrus would've dunked that, easily. Rondo barely got there and had to flail at his face just to get a foul on the slowest guy in the league. On the other hand, you can't just assume anyone besides Brad Miller would've been left that wide open with an open lane.

    Show of hands, who really expected Brad Miller to make both of those? Honestly, I'd rather he just take the jumper in rhythm then take the two FTs with that much pressure. He doesn't know how slow he is though.

    It was a team effort. And the refs didn't help. He's the PG. There is no team offense without him besides Salmons and Gordon isolations. I'm not mad at him or anything, he's a rookie. It's clear he's confused by what Boston's doing to him defensively. He can't get the dribble drive going and they're not far enough off of him where he's comfortable making jumpers. I did think we didn't do enough pick and roll though.

    Loss is on Derrick.
  7. SpongeWorthy
    Rondo didn't foul him. He flat out tripped over his own foot.
  8. SpongeWorthy
    Derrick Rose's defense is appalling.
  9. SpongeWorthy
    FINISH THEM.
  10. SpongeWorthy
    The Finals are 2-3-2. All other rounds are 2-2-1-1-1.

    Kirk's been absolutely brilliant so far.
  12. SpongeWorthy
    5 years ago maybe. I forget exactly.

    I'd much rather have Hinrich and Rose playing together than Hinrich and Ben. VDN must be worried about Ben's hamstring locking up.
  14. SpongeWorthy
    Whoever starts making shots in the 2nd half is going to win. Boston missed a lot of easy stuff and no one besides Kirk and a little Salmons can get on track for Chicago. Boston looks nervous to me.
  15. SpongeWorthy
    That was a good find on the skip pass from Miller to Kirk in the corner. Now Brad will be tempted to continue making ill advised passes.
  16. SpongeWorthy
    Out of the top scorers in the game he takes more jump shots than almost all of them. Kobe Bryant is basically a jump shooter. Michael Jordan late in his career was a basically a jump shooter. Dirk, Granger, Joe Johnson, and Ben Gordon are jump shooters. It's not a pejorative thing.
  17. SpongeWorthy
    Really? Because at this point in their careers, Allen and Pierce are basically jump shooters. Rondo is devastating on the break and when he gets to the rim because he can set up Perkins and Baby. I'd rather slow him down and let one of Pierce/Allen get theirs. Obviously if both Allen and Pierce are going off then you have major problems.
  18. SpongeWorthy
    So if BG is out or plays limited minutes am I crazy for wanting Kirk to guard Rondo and putting Rose on Allen and Salmons on Pierce? I can live with Allen going off as long as Rondo isn't cuting the Bulls up on the interior again. I think Salmons will do an ok job on Pierce (although Kirk is the best Pierce defender by far). Rondo is clearly the head of the snake at this point and I'd like to put our best on the ball defender on him. I hate to say it but this is the sort of game where you miss Thabo. Hunter will have to give us some minutes again.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    He's available. And he was suspended the last 3 games of last year, so I'm not sure that he would be suspended at all this year. If so, it wouldn't be more than 1-2 games. His legal situation is far from resolved though isn't it?
  20. SpongeWorthy
    Gilbert doesn't look like a 4-3 DE to me at all. He looks like the classic one-gap penetrator that Lovie likes at DT.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    You honestly believe a prime Horace Grant would be over matched by the athleticism of today's game but Big Baby wouldn't be?
  22. SpongeWorthy
    I'm waiting for the breathless assertion that Demps and Rainey are the best NFL prospects because they have such a high YPC.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    I honestly thought the Melton pick would create a little more buzz. I remember a couple years ago when he was kind of a Fridge-like folk hero at Texas because he was a short-yardage/goal line guy.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    I'd also like the Bears to take a look at some of the undrafted running backs. I'm surprised 2 other Johnsons were drafted as backs and not Jeremiah Johnson or Ian Johnson.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    According to http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nflnation?tag=nfc%20draft%20analysis%2009 the Bears were considering taking Michael Mithcell at #49 until Oakland picked him at 47??? If you don't recall, Mitchell was the guy who had a 7th round/UDFA grade according to Kiper and supposedly a lot of personnel types.
