lol what can you do against that?

 

Get better offensive players. Just a thought.

Whatever. If they are going to get everything to fall then you are going to lose.

hmmm

This one's over.

Hawks shot 51%. That's a giant clover up their ass.

LOL it was over when the Bulls bought into their own hype wagon. I love how all the analysts predicting a 5-game series are gonna get thoroughly owned

holy s*** I can't imagine a worse ending

And now Rose is hurt is slop time.

Well, that was an unexpected ending.

Did someone throw something on the court?

Hawks shot 51%. That's a giant clover up their ass.

They were 21-3 in the regular season when they shot 50% or better.

Rose had zero free throws. I guess that's what happens when the other team doesn't try to kill you every time you drive into the lane.

Yep. No idea what it was, but it was right at the end of the game. The ref picked it up after the buzzer went.

how bad is rose hurt btw? turned the game off a long time ago

So the good news is that this only happens about 30% of the time.

he did the same thing kobe did previously. where he planted his foot and turned his ankle.

Not terrible, but it was the same ankle he tweaked before. You'd think his ankle would be fine after a whole week's worth of rest.

Only did it once against Orlando in the first round, too. Seems unlikely to happen again.

Unbelievable that he didn't make it to the line. Inexcusable, really, for the league MVP to not draw a single foul all game. I hope he plans on actually playing in the rest of this series or we're screwed.

Hawks played great defense on Rose tonight. They went under screens and dared him to shoot the outside shot, which really stopped him from going to the rim as much as he should. They were happy to give him that shot, which he hasn't hit consistently all season long and has been dreadful at in the postseason.

The Bulls really let this one get away when Thibbs put the bench mob out there to start the 4th. The team was already starting to lose some gas at the end of the third after they took a 6 point lead. You'd think Thibbs would have started out the 4th with the foot on the accelerator and played his starters.

He didn't have the mid-range shot today either. Rose also seemed reluctant to go with scoops and hard finishes at the rim. A lot of push shots from him today.

Taj was responsible for about a 6-8 point swing there in the 4th quarter.

Kyle Korver was a +17 today in 16 minutes. Bogans played some decent D on Johnson for a stretch, but it speaks volumes how good the Bulls were when Korver was on the floor tonight.
