Playoff 2nd Round Matchup: Bulls (1) Vs. Hawks (5)

D-Rose is flirting with a quadruple-double.... in turnovers.

 

Dirk eliminated before he received his MVP award....FAIL

 

Noah's activity level is unreal tonight. Reminds me of why I was so impressed by him in the playoffs in previous years.

 

Jeff Teague has really impressed me.

 

Have I been underestimating the Hawks defense, or is the Chicago's offense just this bad. It is like watching the JVG Rockets when Yao was injured.

This is the second game in a row the Bulls have been rather anemic.

 

Both offenses are not noted for their pace. Hawks are among the best in perimeter D.

 

Chicago is just not a very good offensive team. That has been exposed in their first series against the Pacers too.

 

Chicago runs really simple and effective offence. they win by grinding defence with just decent enough offence to win games

 

Sounds like LBJ and crew in Cleavland all over again...Coach Thibs better fix it.

 

I have more confidence in Thibs than Mike Brown by far.

 

Rose is playing craptastic. 4 FTA in two game is alarming for a guy that is great at finishing at the rim. He has to be hurt.

Boozer needs to go buy a puppy. Big softy...

Finally Noah is playing like old Noah again.

 

D-Rose needs to attack the basket more in game three, he took too many jumpers tonight.

 

lebron-led offense was actually very efficient. they didn't suck like this. this bulls' offense is terrible, and drose is playing very mediocre.

fortunately, the bulls have a great defense and the best rebounding team in the L. they won with those 2 again tonight.

 

dang derrick rose 27 shots?

 

Atlanta actionly runs a lot of Adelman motion offence, didnt know that.

 

25 points on 27 shots tonight.

24 pts on 27 shots in game 1.

he's shooting sub 40% for the entire playoffs.

he's been horrible offensively. he's just getting a lot of touches.

their offense as a whole is pathetic.

they are in the position they are in ENTIRELY on their D and rebounding. and that was why i didn't think he was the MVP. they don't need rose to dominate for them to win EVEN in the playoffs.

 

a lot of the time in the playoffs so far he has been settling for the three. he needs to stop this, but he does have to force things at times.

 

that's what happens when nobody on that team but rose can create their own shot...

 

the problem is that instead of creating by penetrating he settles for the three points shot which they are giving him.

 

how about rose creating "easy" shots for others then? obviously he's only creating for himself. 27 shots, 10 assits, 8 turnovers. do you know how many possessions that is for just ONE player? and i'm not counting fts.

when you have the ball that much and put up his stats, you're being extremely inefficient.

he was worse than tmac when tmac had his worst series with us in 06-07 and shot 39%. rose is shooting 38%. eek.
