Eastern Conference Finals (Playoff): Chicago Bulls(1) Vs Miami Heats(2)

Yup but he has to win a title because they will come crawling out.

Hell even if Miami wins a title his haters will come up with something stupid to say.

 

Are you telling me Hakeem wasn't competitive as hell? Are you telling me Hakeem wasn't pissed off inside when D Robinson won MVP? Ego, maybe not, but Dream got mad. Rose is too nice.

 

Fo reaaaalllll

 

Anytime your PG takes 25+ shots it is a FAIL. You saw it with OKC and you're seeing it with Chicago. I hate the way Rose has been playing, like a selfish star who only cares about numbers. But on the other hand they gotta have more from Boozer. He has been weak too,

Sad to say it but in my eyes Miami has an EASY road to the Thophy now.

 

Agreed. **** these guys. I especially hate it when they try to act like they're the victims of abuse.. ****king morons. Grow up b****es.

 

Problem is there is NO one Rose could defer to.

In OKC, that argument is valid because they had legitimate offensive options like Harden and Durant.

Here, who could Rose give it to? Boozer? Noah?

Deng is probably his best option, but no other player on the Bulls besides Rose could consistently create his own shot.

 

Exactly.......Rose had to take all those shots.

Nobody else could create their own shot on a consistent basis

 

If you don't think that four point play should have been called a foul, you and I must have been watching a different game. The call was way late, but it was correct. Rose hit Wade on the elbow.

The only bad call I remember in the Heat's favor in the 4th quarter was the technical against Gibson.

 

For those of you defending Rose right now because his supporting cast was so poor offensively, what were you saying about Lebron last year when the Cavs lost to the Celtics (with Lebron struggling)? Or two years ago when the Cavs lost to the Magic (despite Lebron's brilliance)?

 

The Bulls should ask for Brad Miller back. If his health holds up, a big man with his shooting and passing would be gold for Chicago.

Asik and fillers for Miller and Courtney Lee.

 

if rose was chris paul or deron williams, i'm sure boozer would be putting up 18+ with ease right now.

we're talking about rose as a scorer, when in fact his position is a PG. hopefully he can take that next step as ap laymaker.

rose shouldn't "defer" to his teammates by simply passing them the ball. he has to make the game easier.

boozer has been an all-star in this L, and has always been a pretty damn efficient player with deron williams.

but suddenly he's a chump. it goes both ways.

that's the next step for guys like rose and westbrook: playmaking and making the game easier for their other scorers.

 

it's up to thibs to run plays and offensive schemes to get boozer involved.

running pick and rolls with noah is not a way of getting boozer involved

 

Well Chicago WAS the best team in the league. Rose is clearly a choker, him being the best player on his team doesn't matter at all. That chicago team was definitely built around him, clearly Rose doesn't make his team better etc.

 

lol some epic posts in this thread after the game 1 overreaction. MIAMI IN 5. Scoreboard!

 

Amen.


Mo williams shoulda been enough

 

I can't imagine that Heat fans could have asked for a better run through the East. Take down both the Heat 'demons' in the Celtics and Bulls, and in 5 games each no less? And then LeBron gets to shut down the 'not clutch' criticism in the process?

Credit where credit is due. I expected the Heat were good enough to get to the Finals, I didn't expect them to prove so many doubts wrong along the way.

Finals should be fun to watch.

 

here are some amazing rose's stats in this series:

-scored less points than shots attempted on average (23.4ppg on 24 shots per game) - that must be very rare

-35%fg, 23% 3s

-shot 9.8% in the 4th quarter in the series

-shot 6.3% vs james the entire series

those are very some mind-boggling stats.

 

FIFY.

Congrats again to the Heat. I still can't believe how much Rose turned it over. There's just no excuse -- it's a choke job. I agree with the critics that say, if he was an elite point guard (not just a player), he would make a lot of people around him better. That doesn't seem to be happening yet.

The Finals will be really interesting. The Mavs seem to have a good fourth-quarter gear, but they are way too light on star power.

Watch for Barea (no, I'm not kidding) to have a decent series. Mavs will actually be able to defend the drive better, which should be interesting also.

 

He looks like the Heat MVP with those numbers. Hell, if you count just this series alone then this IS the worst playoff performance by an MVP, including Dirk. He was too young to be called an MVP...the media was so eager to call him their new darling.
