Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Is it because he is too fast? Or too strong? Or because, maybe, he is too good?

I'm playing devils advocate here, but it's probably because rose finished 4-18 with 23 points.

Rose is a beast. Dude is a superstar MVP. Tough loss for the Pacers. Terrible decision by Collison on the 2nd to last play when he didn't give it to Granger.

Future does look bright though.

Definitely.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

I'm guessing you were watching the Pacers and Bulls? Pacers really did not execute well in the last 55 seconds of the game. Seems that's been their problem all year in close games, they just can't seem to close games.

Yep. Thats the mark of an inexperienced team, I guess.

Damn. That'll do it. Really disappointing to not steal a game with how we've played all series. Oh well, too young and no true closer on this team.

agreed, and at this point, I feel like the Pacers are obligated to give it to granger at the end of the game, but he is not that guy. PLain and simple. I would have liked to see Hansbrough from 15 ft to end the game, is there a more high percentage shot on our team at this point?

as an aside, I missed the entire game outside of the last 17 seconds as I was racing home, if Hansbrough was off or Granger was hot then my point is moot, but im sick of seeing Granger with the ball in his hands in important spots.

I would have liked to saw Granger used as a decoy with either a jumper for Tyler or a shot for Dunleavy. The Bulls knew it was going to Granger so why not switch it up. Brad Stevens was there tonight, they should have let him draw the play up and then they might have won. Atleast there playing them physical. I don't really want the Bulls going very far so maybe the Pacers can beat them up a little for the next round.

I hope Dwight knocks Rose into the nosebleeds. Great player but damn his play style is frustrating.

Got to take it easy, dude.

Hansbrough was off and Granger was hot, lol, but the problem with Granger is that he's not good at creating his own shot. You can't just give him the ball and let him do work, you have to set a play up for him.. And that's exactly what they did when it was tied at 84, but Collison for whatever reason decided to take a contested J instead of passing it to an open Granger. It's inexperience I suppose. And I don't even know what happened on that last possession, Bulls just guarded well and we couldn't execute our play I guess.

1. Dwight is a gentle giant.
2. No one wants to see that, Rose is one of the most fun players to watch in the league.

ugh figures lol. Ill be watching on saturday man, I hope we can at least get a win out of the series.

Ah I'm not serious. Good grief folks. Just feeling the same as most after playing Rose and watching him molest defenses with his drives in the paint.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

I cant think off the top of my head that can dominate you with quickness rather than strength and length defensively like MIA...

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Oh, and I see Iggy is proving he really is a "star"/"superstar".



Dude is a third wheel at best IMO. Sort of like a Matrix in his prime type. Still need a real Batman and Robin to help that team out. They have neither if they're trying to make a deep run.
