@24th

There's not a team in the league where Rondo could put up the assist-numbers he has in Boston. (IMO)

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

LMFAO!!! Now that was awesome.... How do I post that some where else?

Just quote the post and copy.. then paste it where ever


Thought that was a better reponse than me actually posting anything about D'Antoni's comments.

had to rush through it though, it took a long time to find those pics

Did you write the captions out first and find the pics later, because some of those pictures just fit so perfectly.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

kinda both because i was rushing, but that quote in the very beginning is from some fan who disagreed with D'Antoni and it pretty much sums up how he should be thinking rather than trying to rain on Rondo

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

LOL that was gold Dre

[Jukeman]

If Rondo was on Minn he would be the best PG in the league by default..

He wouldn't thrive with Love, Johnson and Beastly???

Love to Rondo all day..

Dude won't get respect unless he's playing for the 2010 Nets

He's averaging 19 7 and 12 in the playoffs so far, not to mention his past playoff performances..hard to believe "he can't lead a team"

That was great for sure.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Is there any possibility, that just for tonight, just this one night, the Bulls will play 4th quarter basketball in the first and second quarters?

Is there the possibility Boozer will use his brain and not commit the dumbest fouls ever seen on television?

Will Kyle Korver have plays run for him at any time other than the last 2 minutes of the game when the bulls are down 20 points?

Can Lou Deng make shots consistently?

Can Derrick Rose take layups early on?

I have so many questions...so many unanswered questions...

....they don't play tonight

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Any predictions for the Celtics/Miami (most likely) series?

Eh, doesn't matter. You guys, just like everyone else, are never right when it comes to the Celtics.

Well that is one answer...haha

So tomorrow night, I will pose the same questions.

Unfortunately I don't have the answers to these questions, but there a lot of things I want to see tomorrow night.

1) Attack early. More points from transition.

2) Suffocating defense all 48 minutes. No lazy rotations, no sleep walking on the fast break. Defend the rim and defend it hard.

3) Boozer and Deng need to show up. Deng seems tentative and not comfortable which is odd since this is not his 1st Playoff series. Boozer, dumb fouls and his offensive game has been bad. I don't expect much on defense but if you're going to foul someone, get your money's worth.

4) Which brings me to my next point. The Bulls are absolutely getting bullied this series. No ifs, ends or buts about it. Here is the bottom line, McRoberts needs to be put on his back. He has taken so many off the ball or dead ball cheap shots it amazes me no one has done anything. I don't want any injuries to anyone but someone needs to be put on their backside. Whether that is Collison, Price, whoever. It needs to happen. Bulls need to put a statement out there, and not only to the Pacers but to everyone that they will not be bullied. Kurt Thomas needs to give some old school love to someone, preferably McRoberts.
