    Exactly... But you know Rose was at an MVP level tonight. Then our guards had no defensive answer for Brooks

    As a fan, it was an amazing game. 3 superstars playing at a superstar level. That 6 minute stretch when Leonard came in just killed us.

    Was he completely lost on defense again?

    How did that 6-minute stretch kill us?

    yes, but besides Nic and LMA the other starters were not good, especially Rolo and Nic had yet another sucky game.

    Haven't been able to watch this game or the Twelves game but looking at just box scores we'v been out out rebounded by over 30 and shot 38 less FT's the last two games. Those stats would indicate we'v been out hustled badly the last two games. If thats the case its hard to see us outworking a very bad but tough Pacers team tomorrow night.

    The Bulls had been sucking at home. Then they played the Nets and destroyed them. Even without Noah, I had a feeling they were going to be tough for the Blazers.

    The Bulls are very good at getting to the line this year. Jimmy Butler is averaging 8.5 FTA per game, and Pau Gasol is averaging ~5, Rose ~5 in limited minutes.

    The Blazers are oriented toward taking (and making a lot of) 3pt shots. The problem with jump shooting a lot is you don't get fouled a lot.

    The 2nd unit has been a Bulls weakness, but Mitotic has gotten better and better as the season has progressed and Aaron Brooks is yet another midget PG that thrives in Thibadeau's system. The Bulls bench had a good time against the Blazers' bench players, and that I think was the difference.

    Seeding and home court don't really matter worth shit. If you're goal is to win a title you'll have to go through the best teams anyway. IF you're not good enough, may as well get it over with in the 1st round.

    There's a lot of good teams that aren't going to win the title this year. Losing sucks whatever round it is. 1st, 2nd, WCF, Finals . . . but the further any team advances (even when they lose), they're better off for it.

    I agree with this. Houston fought and fought for HCA last year. We failed. Lost season series. But LA and Lillard eliminated them when it mattered. HCA is overrated.

    If given the chance of having HCA or not. Wouldn't it be nice to have the leg up with a rocking RG?
