RIP Chicago... Dirk is now our savior. Who the fuck matches up against Dirk? One of the scrubs? :lol: Bosh? :lol: LeBron (who will then watch him knock down mid range shot after mid range shot)? :lol:

Let's go Mavs!

If there's any solace, it's watching Boozer get abused on defense every possession.

It was certainly quite an event to see BPers take Boozers side because of the opposition, but even that has seemed to subside by now

Bad part about last night was that the Bulls had what every coach could hope for when playing a road game in the playoffs--your team has the ball with 8 seconds to go in a tie game. Problem for the Bulls was that their coach inexplicably called the same play (clear out for Rose, with LBJ guarding him, thereby forcing him into a terribly difficult fade away jumper) that just failed the last time down the court. I can't believe that was all the Bulls' coach could think of in that situation (with a timeout to draw up a play, no less). He cost the Bulls the game last night, IMO, and if I were in the Bulls' front office, I'd be irate.

while I agree that the play wasn't drawn up well, considering LBJ was shutting Rose down whenever he was on him, it's not on Thibadeu to hit the shots. I'm still trying to figure out how Rose was the MVP and Lebron was left off multiple ballots.

Rose piled up numbers down the stretch, his team had a better record, and LeBron had a stretch during the season where he was terrible...he even admitted he was terrible, at least at the end of games. The LeBron of right now is not the LeBron of 2 months into the season...that's why.

Of course it is not the coach's job to make the shots. No one said it is. But it is the coach's job to put the players in a position to succeed, which Thibadeau didn't do. Ergo, he cost the Bulls the game. Under your reasoning, a loss could never be the coach's fault because he doesn't take the shots. Which is, of course, a ridiculous thing to say.

I haven't heard this mentioned all day, but it doesn't surprise me much either considering today's analysis.

But Thibbedeau started the 4th quarter with a lineup he never uses. Normally CJ Watson would spell Rose at the point and play for 3-4 minutes to give Rose a blow. But Tom didn't want Rose off the floor, so he decided to run Watson at the 2G even though he never does that.

For those first 3 minutes of the 4th quarter, Watson was lost on every offensive possesion not knowing where he was supposed to be in the sets. And to make matters worse, he got lost on defense twice, leaving Mike Miller to bury 2 threes.

It was just an awful late game decision and I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up by anyone in the media or talk shows for that matter. They went from a 7 or 8 point lead to a deficit in about 3 minutes. And it was directly tied to Watson trying to play 2G which is something he doesn't do...

Plus the Bulls were 3-0 in the regular season against the Heat, had the league's best record, and Boozer and Noah missed long stretches while LeBron had Bosh and Wade pretty healthy all year.

But, LeBron haterz gonna hate.
