April 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 02:09 AM) And let's just pretend that Kevin Garnett guy being out is no real factor. Never heard of him. I thought Mikki Moore/Kendrick Perkins/Brian Scalabrine and Glen Davis were their normal frontcourt rotation.
April 29, 200916 yr I'm really ready for Ben to go after last night. His shot selection was trash (even moreso than usual), and I'm still not sure why Vinny puts the ball in his hands and the end of regulation as much s he struggled. Give Derrick the rock and get something going to the basket.

His shot selection was trash (even moreso than usual), and I'm still not sure why Vinny puts the ball in his hands and the end of regulation as much s he struggled. Give Derrick the rock and get something going to the basket. Ben was actually contributing in other ways with assists and playing good defense on Ray. His shooting sucked last night, but I'm glad his free throw shooting returned. The reason why Rose didn't get the ball is because he's a huge reason why we blew an 11 point lead by blowing layups and tossing turnover after turnover. In the past 3 games, Derrick has 20 turnovers. Even as a rookie, that's inexcusable. Out of guys in the rotation, here are the playoff PERS Gordon - 21.9 Derrick - 21.7 Noah - 16.6 Tyrus - 16.5 Kirk - 9.0 Salmons - 7.5 Miller - 7.2
April 30, 200916 yr The sad thing is that Brad Miller is the only player in the rotation that has a positive +/- for this series. http://www.nba.com/statistics/plusminus/pl...&team=Bulls

April 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 01:52 PM) That stat is VERY misleading , considering 1 game was a complete blowout and the rest were nail biters. Even so, it starts to separate out some of the player performances on defense. Statistically there is very little defensive difference is Rose and Gordon, which is surprising, at least to me. Salmons and Noah have been awful.

Statistically there is very little defensive difference is Rose and Gordon, which is surprising, at least to me. Salmons and Noah have been awful. It also looks like those #'s don't include game 5 yet. Looking through the 5 man +/- numbers, it's also noteworthy that our official starting lineup, or our starting lineup with Gordon replaced by Kirk, are 2 of our worst lineups. This sort of suggests that we're really making a dent when we go up against their bench, and their starters are putting a dent in us to open the game. Game 3 of course made that worse by them running up the score early.

The person guarding Kobe or Lebron would be awful too, that has little reflection of their Dfense.

Glenn "Crybaby" Davis or Kendrick Perkins?
April 30, 200916 yr That stat is VERY misleading , considering 1 game was a complete blowout and the rest were nail biters. Hell that stat is very misleading in general even during the season as many here have said in the past. Leave the +/- for hockey.

It may be a good analysis on Noah, but then it ignores defensive schemes such as Zone defense, so I can't be too worried about Noah if he has assignments on top of the key.

The problem is...I understand Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, or Rajon Rondo putting up solid #'s there, I don't expect Glenn Davis to be non-trivially ahead of all of them. Which means that something really ought to change with what we're doing to him. If we're putting Noah or Tyrus on him and they're not effective then that's a use for Miller. If we're putting Miller on him and that's not effective then use the other guys and have one hang back as a shotblocker. At least try something.

I would love everything to be perfect, but if less focus on Davis means more focus on Pierce and Allen, then I am all for it.

May 1, 200916 yr Ben had a terrible game last night. He didn't have the legs to fight through screens, he was getting called for touch falls similar to Ray Allen in Game 5. Bulls are going to need all their bullets in the chamber for Game 7 though, and that includes Ben.
May 1, 200916 yr PER through Game 6: Noah - 17.3 Kirk - 16.1 BG - 15.2 Salmons - 14.1 Derrick - 14.0 Tyrus - 13.0 Miller - 12.3

This silliness tonight, as exciting as it was, ain't gonna cut it in a game 7 road game. The guy who fouled out early in game 5 had fresh legs for game 6 and went off for 51. BG7 fouled out early in game 6.
May 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (Ron @ May 1, 2009 -> 01:05 PM) But Ray Allen is healthy. Ben's hammy ain't gonna get too much better in one day. Well healthy, and even at his advance age, also a better player. *Waits for the torch wielding Ben Gordon mob to tell me why he's better than a future hall of famer*.
