    if i understand the rule correctly, it was because wade was shooting. which brings up a point. when players are in a breakaway situation and know the defender might take that purpose foul, it would be smart when you feel them wrap you up to turn and pretend you're throwing a pass to a trailer or basically do anything but shoot. now obviously that's easier said than done because a) you can't be sure the foul is going to come and you don't wanna mess up if they don't foul you and b) you might be able to get an and-1. but in that situation, if wade turns around and acts like he's passing or just keeps running and dribbling, i would think that's a breakaway and 2 free throws + the ball instead of just 2 free throws.

    rose needs to watch more tapes of allen iverson since he plays like him so much.

    Bulls' defense tonight is not as good as in previous games.

    If that's the rule, then I understand. But the rule makes no sense.

    And Deng just got away with a push off on that dunk. His left arm warded off James from contesting that.

    b/c he's not as good. but his mindset is to score first, so i think watching AI might benefit him. AI was a guy who get 30 and 8 in his prime with relative ease.

    If the Bulls want to win they need to be up by 10 going in the fourth. If it's close or Bulls up by 2 or 4, Miami will win they step it up in the fourth

    iverson's skillet was completely different.

    in his mvp season he didnt even play pg. he was a sg that played off the ball.

    iverosn could do both. he had 2 seasons of 30+ points and 8+ assists. i'm not talking about skillset, i'm talking about their mentality as small shooting guards in a PG's body.

    rose isn't a pure PG anyways ala a chris paul or dwill.

    apparently to make up for not giving lebron that continuation they decided to call a bad foul on lebron.

    chalmers is going to make me cry. somehow he's much worse guarding rose than bibby. back off of him!!! don't go for pumpfakes.

    All the games so far have come down to the 4th Q, so it's just sit back and wait till the 4th, and watch Miami come out on top.

    i just don't see how just because they have the same mentality rose should model his game after iverson when they play nothing a like.

    iverson was a jumpshooter. rose is a slasher.

    but whatever...
