I just feel so bad for Rose right now, just get healthy...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 04:31 PM) I agree that the refs were horrible in the first half. That aside, this is the Miami defense from the first half of the season. They're just stifling NY. That Heat defense does alot of grabbing and pushing and no calls, the Knicks breathe on LeBron and he shoots FTs, the refs go NY out of their game and ruined GM 1. I hope the media calls out these ducking refs so we can have a fairly called game, NY can hang with the Heatso long as the refs don't help them out.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) the way it went down. looked like it would be a torn acl. was just hoping it wasn't. Oh well...go Celtics, beat the f***ing Heat.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 04:10 PM) knicks are such a spineless team....theyve completely given up What do you want them to do, the f***ing refs will call any physical play the Knicks do against Miami, can't do anything when that happens.

I've never seen seen a team get so much benefit of the doubt from the refs like this Heat, maybe the Lakers/Kings from early 2000s?

28-5 FTs for Miami is just insane, the Knicks are attacking the rim and no fouls are called while you touch a Heat player and it's a foul.

Anybody who says refs don't wreck a game are full of s***, LBJ has 14 FTs in the first half... Where's Felix?

LBJ got shot!

Goddamn refs

One thing we just took for granted with Jordan was other than his 86 season, he was basically an iron man.

Knicks vs Heat and refs.

Knicks aren't shooting well but still in the game, Miami will have their hands full this series.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 02:58 PM) If this knee injury is anything serious, Rose may never be the same player again. He's gone through toe, back, groin, foot, and ankle injuries this season, but the knee is the last body part I want to see damage on his body. Knee injuries has changed the careers of Brandon Roy, Oden, Jermain Oneal, Elton Brand, Mcgrady, Grant Hill, Michael Redd, Yao Ming and so on. As good as Chris Paul is this season, he is no longer the same player he was 3 years ago. And out of all those players, Rose requires his athleticism the most. At least point, I might actually prefer to shut him down the rest of the season to preserve his long term health. I agree with this.

We are f***ed

Deng still in? Come on Thibs!!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) Yeah, this is a sweep all the way. This Philly team just does not have the offensive firepower to even make the Bulls sweat. Worst team in the playoffs, easily. Edit: forgot about the Howard-less Magic. So second worst team. I hope you're right about the sweep (would love the extra rest) but I could see Philly getting one in their house.

I actually think the Knicks have a legit shot at the Heat, after the Big 3, the Heat are garbage. If Chandler comes up big, we can have a series go down the wire.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 10:31 AM) He thinks EVERYONE is slighting him. He has always had the attitude that anyone and everyone is trying to stop him from succeeding. He was a notorious asshole as OSU the first few years and Matta would routinely kick him out of practice. Theres actually alot of info on it in Titus's book. McCamey and Turner f***ing hated Rose though in HS, for good reason, D Rose dominated their faces. http://blogs.suntimes.com/preps/2007/02/wa..._derrick_r.html Great read, let me share this doozy from the comments section Me thinks this person sucks at talent evaluation, lol.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2012 -> 08:20 AM) Hopefully this pisses some guys off... http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/...nd-nba-playoffs Meh, Evan Turner will go out the way Danny Granger and his Pacers did last year, in 5 games. Right now the 76ers wouldn't get past any EC team except maybe the Howard-less Magic

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 09:33 AM) The Pacers will knock off the Heat in Round 2. Book it. I think the team with the best shot of knocking off Miami in the east besides Chicago is the Celtics. The Pacers can certainly beat up the Heat though

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 07:46 AM) The Bulls are really in the heads of the Heat at this point. They had to go all bad boys on them. Miami had no self-control last night. The playoffs ought to be fun. I agree, you know Miami wanted to bury the Bulls, instead the Bulls kept hanging around and if Chicago just had an avg shooting night, the Bulls could've won...without Rose...in Miami. Bulls hit just 2 of 16 3pt shots and overall hit 35%, missing a lot of open jumpers.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 19, 2012 -> 09:45 PM) Bulls gased. No legs. That would explain the horrid shooting, wide open jumpers bricking all over the place. I knew the Bulls weren't gonna win without Rose in Miami...one up on the loss column, need to hang on.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 09:47 AM) The difference is they get in the face of the refs after every non call until the refs give them a call. They never went out out to the media and claim to be the only person in the league not to get a call. I am all for D Rose complaining more about calls, but there are proper ways to do it. And I am just pointing out that there are a lot more Anti Derrick Rose sentiment this season because of some of his comments to the media. MJ was by most accounts a dick as a team mate and an arrogant a-hole, yet the media and people in general loved him. Rose is humble and down to earth and if some people are going to dislike him because of some quotes, who cares.
