Playoffs matchup: Bulls (1) Pacers (8)

Ugh.. What the **** is Granger doing?

Just shows Pacers are not elite like the Bulls.

 

that would have been an amazing shot if he made it.

 

He made the one that counted.

 

That was a tough shot at the end for Granger.

This must be the closest 3-0 ever.

 

Fixed. Just shows Pacers don't have a star player like Rose.

 

man that was spectacular defense by indiana and rose still scored the winning bucket over it. and by spectacular defense, i mean the worst defense i've ever seen. hey, the guy who loves to drive is 3-17 and it's a tie game, what do you say we let him drive right past us to the hoop for a layup instead of forcing a jumper? sound good? ok, team on 3, break. trap him like boston trapped melo or something. letting him have a layup is the epitome of stupid.

 

Rose played about as bad as he can have and yet Chicago still won. Indiana has a nice team and they are right there in all three games, but they just can't get over the hump.

This series is over.

 

More props to Deng's D than a Granger fail on the last play

 

boozer has to step up

 

I lol'ed. I'm just not sure if I'm laughing with your or at you. But, your comment certainly had me rolling.:grin:

 

That was far from the worse defense ever. He just hit a tough shot over like 3 defenders at the rim.

 

true, but they should've doubled early and force it out of his hands though.

 

Yeah that would have been wise but I guess since Rose struggled most of the game they took a chance.

But I don't think the defense itself was exactly that bad to be called the worst ever.

 

Rose is hands down the most clutch player all season long and into the playoff. I payed close attention to most Bulls game this year and when its close with 3 min to go in the 4th he ALWAYS deliver for the exception of the last Indiana game in the regular season. His shooting was horrible today but still find ways to score 20+.

 

Collisson not giving Granger the ball on the play before ****ed Indiana. Granger would have had a reasonably open shot

 

Yeah that was dumb, and someone should have fouled him when he went past them. You don't give up game winning lay-ups. Period.
Hibbert should have been floating off of Noah, so what if Noah is open?

Not only that they get the ball back and run no play in particular, it was just give the ball to Granger and watch him jack up a shot.

Coaches make their money in the postseason...

 

and rose played about as well as he did in the first 2 games and they were close games.

the point is, the bulls are a better team.

 

when you take that many shot attempts (including fts), if you don't score 20+ points...

again, this is why chicago isn't going to win it all. their offense can be pathetic at times. and rose's inefficiency hurts makes it worse.

indiana could be easily up 3-0 if they had some more playoff experience. or if granger was just a little bit better.

 

well clearly i was exaggerating calling it the worst ever, but it was pretty bad. the big man showed on the pick and then just retreated and became irrelevant, basically leaving a one on one against jones which was the first bad thing. and when rose beat jones easily, absolutely no one is shading over to get in his way to take a charge or make him change direction? i mean come on. there may have been 3 defenders in the vicinity but none of them were between the ball and the basket when rose let it go, it was just a left-handed layup.
