    It's a lot more likely he goes 2-8 at the rim again, than 7-10 from 15-23 feet. It's not a perfect way to look at it because you're assuming Hansbrough shoots at an average rate; but there's a greater difference between Hansbrough's FG% at the rim and the Bulls D at the rim than there is between his FG% from 15-23 compared to the Bulls D. (What a horrendous run-on sentence)

    Well, Andy watched the game, and said not one of his FTs came on a phantom foul. So I don't know what to tell you.

    Basically, IMO, Hansbrough isn't the issue that should make you feel comfortable, the 3 point shooting was the issue, especially with (as bukie mentioned) the Bulls top notch 3 point defense throughout the season. Unless you can attribute it to Rose slacking on the defensive end due to being the entire offense or Deng from playing 55 minutes/game on the season, there's really no reason for Indiana to shoot like that again.

    2-8 at the rim seems as unsustainable as 7-10 from 15-23 feet. He only had 1 shot blocked on the day, so it wasn't like he was McRoberts down there. I remember at least a couple bunnies that he just whiffed on.

    He was also 3-9 from inside 15 feet. Inside 15 feet, the Bulls were contesting shots more closely, and Noah/Thomas/Gibson/Asik (for a minute) were getting involved. 15-23 feet shots were mostly on Boozer only. Well you can't explain away his good shooting by saying he's just not good enough, then explain away his bad shooting by giving credit to the defense. I'm relatively sure Hansbrough's been defended throughout his career inside 15 feet, not just this past game. Considering the Thibodeau defensive strategy is lock down the paint, defend the 3, and allow long range jumpers (which I'm sure you're quite familiar with, watching the Celtics the past few years), the shot distribution is very in-line with what the defense typically allows, but Indiana was simply making their long-range jumpers at an unsustainable rate. Where do you get the distribution breakdowns? I'm pretty dubious on the thought that shooting 33% from inside 15 feet is normal.

    Yeah, not that the argument means anything, but judging a shootaround 3PT shooting % by a 3 point contest seems like a terrible way to do it.

    Did I miss the rule where you can't have more than 2 SS on an all-star team?

    Theriots celing was David Eckstein. Castros is somewhere between Roberto Alomar, Hanley Ramirez, and Babe DiMaggio-Yaztremskie. Don't need to tell me that, I think he's going to be a hall of famer.
  11. SouthSideRyan
    That little [expletive] Theriot had a year and half or so.

    WSR bringing the truth. Hang your head Truffle
  13. SouthSideRyan
    That was because it was Hansbrough. Boozer couldn't have defended him any more lazily.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Indiana did shoot worse than their season averages from the free throw line and 2 pt range(and worse than Bulls opponent's season average)
  15. SouthSideRyan
    What a [expletive] flop
  16. SouthSideRyan
    Clown shoes as usual. It's ok, it'd been awhile since a favored team was down by double digits and came back to win a playoff game. No way you could've seen that coming. Make sure you thank the refs You're a child.

    Starlin Castro is good at baseball.

    The height Rose got in this pic is absolutely ridiculous. It's "only" like 32 inches given the leg bend.Yeah, got to love the little guy jumping several feet off the ground there. Also, do Pacer fans really hate Noah after today? It was interesting to see Deng get pissed and for him to call on the crowd, especially since it worked. Worked how? Immediately after the T, the Pacers extended their lead to 10 points. What worked was Derrick Rose, not a moronic technical foul.
