Just in case other people want to talk about the other games in progress. Rondo and Rose having a helluva duel, Chicago might just steal a game from the defending champs.
I'm impressed with the Bulls. They've got some nice players who fill their role well, and Rose is an absolute stud. I love his game. Boston looks mortal. It'd be a shame if Chicago lost this game, they've totally outplayed the Celtics up to this point.
This is obviously not the same Bulls team we monkey stomped twice this year, but (outside of Rose) they still look like they play a pretty low efficiency style of offense -- they just look so 'disjointed' and their spacing and shot selection is awful at times.
Smells like a team that would be moving Deng come the summer. I doubt we really need him anymore with the way Batum and Outlaw are playing, however.
They remind me a lot of Philadelphia. They prefer the helter skelter type of ball led by a good PG, and have a lot of athletes who can get up and down the floor.
Probably not, but I sure wouldn't mind Hinrich. His stats aren't leaping off the screen, but he's D-ing up Pierce, House, and Rondo pretty well. If your watching, you can see he's actually quick enough to get into the lane even against a pesky defender like Rondo. There's no way Chicago doesn't try to move him this summer.
Rose kind of reminds me of how Marbury played his first season with Minny, and how Marbury/KG took it to a veteran Houston team in the playoffs that one year. And now Marbury just looks like a complete scrub.
Lack of play off experience doesn't seem to be bothering Rose. He looks like he's going to be a special player.
Ray Allen should hang it up. Why does he suck so much in the playoffs? He had a couple good games in the Finals but that's it. They almost lost to Atlanta and Cleveland cuz he couldn't open a wide open shot.
Yeah, true. I just feel like Chicago's blowing a big opportunity being the young team and the underdog on the road, and getting tons of open shots, they got to bury them. Salmons, Gordon, Thomas, Hinrich, Miller have been open all game long.
But... but.... I'm trying to find the article that was on ESPN yesterday where Jemele Hill said that Salmons was the shit.
