The other playoff games thread

I think Bulls' fans are going to have a heart attack right now.

 

that's our boy, Tyrus Thomas

 

I wonder if Vinny of the Black really drew up a play for a Tyrus Thomas 20-footer.

 

So you think it was just a missed shot Minstrel?

 

I highly doubt that he did. I'm pretty sure Vinny almost passed out when Thomas shot that.

 

Sure. Pierce has played great in a lot of pressured situations. I have no reason to believe he's affected by pressure. You try to make every free throw, but some don't go down.

 

I don't know what Chicago is thinking. I realize Thomas has been hitting.... but wow. Thomas is NOT the guy I'd want shooting.

 

great fucking way to start the playoffs

 

Tyrus Thomas hitting jumper after jumper is perhaps the most unlikely way I'd have imagined Chicago winning this.

 

Another Tyrus Thomas shot. Wow. How about just ISOing Rose up top

 

Terrible play out of a timeout for the Bulls ... Ty Thomas as your go to shooter with 8 seconds left on the shot clock? Ugh.

 

The only one fans will remember is the miss if they lose.

 

I think you could make the argument either way. Only Paul knows the answer.

 

I liken this to us going to Channing Frye for our final five shots of the game.

 

I agree. I also think that is what happened though. You gotta come through in times like that if you are your teams best player (and the self-proclaimed best player in the world).

 

Let's get another overtime here.

 

Rose is out. Not good.

 

Is it dawning on anybody else just how amazing Brandon's playmaking and decision making is at the end of games after watching the Bulls terrible execution?

 

So he's played hundreds of NBA games, including huge Finals games, and this is when the pressure finally crushed him?

 

Eh, more like Joel. Thomas is a bigger part of the Chicago rotation than Frye. It would be like having Joel take jumpers. I've never thought of Thomas as a jump shooter.
