  1. even if they lose game 7, i'm satisfied with this season when you consider everything.
  2. 32 is well below average. if the bulls shot 32% from 3 as a team, they'd be 29th in the league. http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/team/_/stat/offense-per-game/sort/threePointFieldGoalPct/seasontype/2 wade and lebron aren't good three point shooters and kobe is average. oh and 32% is not "slightly worse" than durant
  3. Yeah there is. Don't take them. He's not a good three point shooter. Pretty simple. pretty much. there's a reason teams sag off of him and give him the 3: because they know he doesn't shoot them well. rose proclaimed in the offseaosn that he had developed a three point game and everyone talked about it, then he beasted from three in the first 2 months. he's sucked pretty terribly since then, but people still act like he has a three point game he sucked at shooting threes his first two years, and he's sucked again this year.
  4. he's. not. making. them. you've been saying the same thing for months, and he continues to NOT make them. there are better options than doing something that is proven to fail consistently. there always are.
  5. Yeah there is. Don't take them. He's not a good three point shooter. Pretty simple. I went over this a few weeks ago. If the defense is going to go sag off, go underneath screens, etc. then the right play is for Rose to take the open 3. Of course he has to make them at a reasonable clip for them to be the right play. But he's obviously a better shooter than he's shown this series. Fact is, when he's playing off of Bogans, Brewer, and Deng (to a lesser extent) the defender is always going to take the option of collapsing into the lane (or he's already camping in it) to take away the dribble drive. The Bulls have blown the doors off of teams in the 4th all season because we stick Korver in and he either gets wide open looks or the lane is available for Rose all the way to the hoop. What I don't get is why we don't run the same offense for stretches of the game before the last few minutes. It works! I do agree that Rose forced some looks that weren't there this series. No doubt. But over the course of the year he's really taken about the same amount of 3s as any other legit superstar perimeter scorer and made them at a similar clip Who? list them. LeBron takes about 2 fewer than rose. wade too. kobe is the only one thats close, but he's a chucker and that's not helping him either. rose is shooting like 30% since december. that's atrocious. it would be one thing if he was tkaing like 2-3 a game, but he's not. he's taking like 5-6 every night, and putting up like 8-9 is happening now too.
  6. A) 32% is bad B) most of his 3's ARE wide open. any anyways, look at his game log from this season. he started off the seaosn red hit from 3 and has been atrocious ever since, yet he takes over 5 a game. it's hurting his game. i don't know how you can argue otherwise. he's hitting 3's at a well belpw average rate, yet he takes them at about the largest rate possible.
  7. duncan keith doesn't really deserve to wear that "A" on his jersey http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nhl/news/story?id=6412397 i mean, that's pretty bad. he's basically admitting he wasn't giving full effort this season. it was pretty obvious too. i mean wasnt it just like 2 pages ago that someone mentioned how he was a completely different player these last 2 games and that it looked like he just suddenly flipped a switch? well there you go. i wonder where we'd be right now if he was "excited" to start the season
  8. rose now 5-29 from 3 this series (over 7 attempts per game) "it's ok... he won't keep jacking them up in the playoffs if they aren't going in. he's just using these regular season games to tune his 3 point shot for the postseason" or "they are GIVING him the wide open 3's! he has to take them. that's the best option (even though he continues to not make them) are we still going to pretend like it's not hurting the team?
  9. yup, but he smiles a lot so people don't realize it. he elbows people in every game he plays, and when the magic are losing he gets frustrated and starts fouling people harder and harder for no reason
  10. ok so give us those 4 free throws to start game 4 also, two flagrant 1's in the same game = ejection. we'll use ejection on game 4 also.
  11. im pretty sure boozer is actually celebrating in his
  12. cp3's kid just went crazy during the postgame presser
  13. wow another huge blown call late in a close game. this time they used video replay and still screwed it up.
  14. the bulls have played some of their worst basketball of the seaosn in this series, and they still haven't been able to win a single game. bulls have basically given them the gift of playing terribly and they still can't beat us. scrub team. Hahahaha. Yeah they're playing terribly. All of a sudden. Just coincidence. So idiotic. indiana is great at forcing unforced turnovers.
  15. lunchables are awesome
  16. minnesota fans don't seem to annoy me, but i could imagine they are the types that believe in small ball and hustling and all that nonsense
  17. dwight and the magic still scare me... a lot They have to get by Atlanta first. doubt that will be a problem. atl is an average team
