    It's just that when Derrick Rose is slumping. The ENTIRE team slumps. That's what happens when you play off one player. :(

    he's been settling for too many jumpers which they are giving him. He needs to go to the goal and stop shooting otherwise he will have more 8 point outings.


    On another note was it him that got dunked on twice in the span of two minutes or was it horford.

    I guess that kind of proves why Rose is the MVP.

    Like I said all along. Hawks in 5, book it. Bulls are too young and inexperience. Their most seasoned and experienced playoff player in Boozer is playing like a pu***. They seriously need another wing player next year that can create besides Rose. OJ Mayo is sure lookin good in Memphis.

    they need to start korver instead of bogans, i know he provides defense but his shooting would free up rose

    Crawford toying with Korver was like child abuse, but I agree, Korver's shooting gives them the best chance to win.

    their defense has won games before in the reg season when rose is slumping. but the thing was, you play good teams every game in the playoffs. if your best player slumps, it's going to be tough regardless.

    derrick rose cannot be taking 27 shots a game. if he slumps create plays for his teammates. some of them were playing well offensively tonight.

    Noah and Boozer may get more media coverage, but the best big man in this series looks to be Al Horford. The Bulls don't have a definite size advantage in the paint, and Horford was looking too versatile and skilled for Chicago's bigs.

    horford is a beast they need to play him at his true position in PF. Horford has an all round game he can shoot the mid range shot and has a really good post game. would love to see him here in red and white

    wow, the hawks broke their streak of 15 straight losses in the 2nd round with a 103-95 win over the bulls. their last win? a 103-95 win over the bulls.

    why do people act like bogans can't shoot? he hit 38% of his 3's during the regular season. and he just hit 50% in the last series. it feels like the battier (we're playing 3-on-5) argument all over again. sure, he doesn't have any creating skills, but you can't leave him open and he's been making people pay when they do. now obviously he's not a shooter like korver is, but korver doesn't play high level D like bogans does.

    Boozer is an awful defender, and he no longer has Jerry Sloan's flex to run home to...


    OVER

    their offense is much smoother with him not in the game though and teams do leave him open they pack the paint

    name me a team that has 5 legit scorers at all times. every team has a weakness.

    lakers have dfish.
    heat have Z and bibby or at least one at all time.
    thunder have thabo
    memphis has tony allen

    and so on. the bulls win with defense. their O may look smoother without him, but they win with him and brewer moreso than with korver.

    i never said they need 5 legit scorers, it just seems to me that the bulls need to play korver more in order for teams not to pack the paint

    Armageddon for David Stern, he will send Bavetta and Joey Crawford in to save the day.
