Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round
Agree with pretty much all that. Only problem is you forgot one man who is skating completely under the radar right now. Kyle Korver. Completely unacceptable. Dude has ONE job to do and this series, after being the first one to write a letter about stepping up with Derrick gone provides what for the rest of the series after game 1? Bagel, 5, bagel, bagel. Unacceptable.
That's where you need the pick-setter to roll to the hoop for an easy two or kickout if there's weakside help.
Pretty simple basketball. When a player gets doubled, especially off the ball, you have numbers elsewhere on the court. In the regular season, we made those passes. It just didn't happen in the playoffs.Bears | Bulls | Cubs | Illinois | #Team3Some

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round
So here's a question. What would've happened to the Bulls if we'd successfully traded for Dwight Howard? Noah and Taj would've both been gone likely or at least Noah and Deng. How would things have gone?Comment

Nobody cares because it's Atlanta but how do you get this wrong?
Being awarded a free throw at a key moment is no guarantor of success, as Omer Asik of the Chicago Bulls can attest. So can Al Horford. However, Horford and the Atlanta Hawks looked to have a strong case for an additional free throw attempt in the waning moments of their series-ending 83-80 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the first-round NBA playoff series.
Trailing by two points with just 3.1 seconds remaining on the clock, the Hawks were inbounding the ball beneath the Celtics' basket. Mercurial swingman Marvin Williams was the inbounder while his teammates Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford and Jeff Teague attempted to get open.
As Williams was inbounding the ball -- or perhaps just before he threw it in -- a whistle sounded, triggered by a foul from Marquis Daniels of the Celtics against Horford. TNT announcer and former NBA coach Mike Fratello quickly grasped the significance of the foul as Daniels looked around nervously. Fratello told viewers that "if that was out of bounds and the ball was not passed in [then] that's two shots."
According to the NBA rulebook, however, a foul by a defensive team before the ball is inbounded in the final two minutes of a game (or during overtime) results in just one free throw attempt as well as the possession. Nevertheless, that shot -- taken by any player on the floor for the Hawks -- is extremely precious given the circumstances.
(1) A personal foul and team foul shall be assessed and one free throw attempt shall be awarded. The free throw may be attempted by any player in the game at the time the personal foul was committed.
After a prolonged discussion among the gaggle of refs, the Hawks were handed back the ball but awarded no free throw. Although Fratello had already pointed out during a replay that he believed that the foul occurred before Williams passed the ball in, he explained to viewers that the referees must have determined that the foul by Daniels against Horford had occurred after the ball had been released.
"That is an unbelievably fortunate call for the Boston Celtics," Fratello conceded.Comment

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round
I just watched the last 30 seconds again of that Bulls, Philly game. What a damn unfortunate series of events, it was insane for them to lose that game. I really feel for Bulls fans to be out of the playoffs on an ending like that.Comment

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round
It could have been a double foul as well. They were both grabbing and holding each other.Comment

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread 1st Round
Not that I'm innocent. I say that I'd challenge Boozer to a fight if I ever saw him in person, but lord knows that I'd run like a bitch if he ever came at me. (I would outrun him though, that fatass)
Same goes for the people tweeting.Bears | Bulls | Cubs | Illinois | #Team3Some
