Thunder v Spurs starts the noo.

 

That's what she said

What a show by Durant here.

22/25 from Perkins, Ibaka and Collison gave him the opportunity.

How can anyone not love Kevin Durant? That 4th quarter was f***in awesome.

Rose making progress, Bulls thinking big?

Take this with a grain of salt if you will, but Derrick Rose is embracing the challenge of returning to full strength from his devastating knee injury. Yes, the medical prognosis for his return is eight months to a full year, but every athlete is different and those who have doubted the Chicago native's determination to beat the odds before--as in almost everyone who heard his famous "Why can't I be MVP?" Bulls media day declaration prior to last season--have been pleasantly proven wrong in the past.

 

Rose is already walking with a soft brace on his injured knee and only one crutch, according to a source who has witnessed the Bulls superstar's initial stages of.recovery at the Berto Center. Another source, who spoke to Rose recently, told CSNChicago.com that the All-Star point guard's "spirits are up," a consistent description of his mental state since surgery to repair his torn left ACL last month.

 

If the point guard does play next season--a reasonable estimation for an early return would be after the All-Star break--something Reggie Rose, the 23-year-old's older brother, pledged immediately after the surgery and echoed by backcourt partner Rip Hamilton on Thursday, he will likely join a roster consisting of several new faces.

 

In addition to finding temporary replacements for Rose and potentially fellow All-Star Luol Deng, at least for the beginning of the regular season if the small forward opts for wrist surgery following the upcoming Olympics in his adopted hometown of London, as expected, the Bulls will also probably have to fill the spots of "Bench Mob" stalwarts Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Watson, among others.

 

Brewer is the least likely to return, as rookie swingman Jimmy Butler is poised to fill his role, while Korver, despite his long-range shooting being such a needed asset on a team mostly lacking that quality, may have too high of a price tag for a team trying to avoid the league's luxury tax.

 

Although it's a possibility that Watson returns due to both financial reasons and the fact that the Bulls might not find a better player to fill in for Rose at a similar salary, there is a chance that organization looks to upgrade the position during their superstar's absence.

 

While the front office may seek out minimum-salary veterans at several positions, including point guard, a source tells CSNChicago.com that the Bulls will take a run at future Hall of Famers Steve Nash and Jason Kidd in free agency, trying to convince the former All-Stars that they will have an opportunity to win a championship, of which Kidd has one, from last season with the Mavericks, and Nash has none, in Chicago.

 

According to the same source, the rest of the team's "core"--starters Rose, Deng, Hamilton, center Joakim Noah and power forward Carlos Boozer, as well as reserve big men Taj Gibson and Omer Asik, the latter of whom is a restricted free agent this summer, though the Bulls are likely to match any offers for him from opposing teams--is "safe," though team management will surely at least listen to trade offers.

Wade has looked awful the last two games.

Well, its a 2 player team right now and he is the easier of the 2 to take out of a game... not sure why Pacers couldn't manage that.

Celtics hitting some big shots here. They need this game badly.

Pietrus has been really stupid in the 4th quarter. Really bad fouls

I can't wait to hear the griping about that call on Garnett for the next few days...

Garnett was an idiot. Can't believe Lebron passes the final shot again tho. GZ.

Meh, he was doubled and fading, it would have been a stupid shot if he'd taken it. Then again, Kobe takes a ton of those and everyone thinks he's super-clutch.

Nice flop, Battier.

JVG has always been a proponent of each player getting 7 fouls. Hmmmmmm

Maybe not, Lebron fouls out on a similar play.

LOL at that call on LeBron. Horrid officiating in this game. I don't think any of Lebron's last 3 fouls were called correctly and Pierce's 6th was a joke.

Garnett's was legit, the LeBron one wasn't. Garnett held LeBron's arm to prevent him from helping out on Rondo's drive.

That would be awful.

Plus that weird technical on Rondo for kicking Wade or something and the 3 where Allen was clearly out of bounds before kicking it out.

That would be awful.

 

Why not 8? Why not 10? 12? Its stupid. His reasoning is you always want to the best against the best. Well, sometimes the best foul out, but most of the time they don't. As noted, that was the first time Lebron has fouled out as a member of the Heat.

Meh, he was doubled and fading, it would have been a stupid shot if he'd taken it. Then again, Kobe takes a ton of those and everyone thinks he's super-clutch.

 

Agree with this. He made the right play but the pass got deflected by Dooling or else Haslem gets a wide open look to win the game. Kobe would have shot that and missed horribly.

I believe he meant for OT, which I agree with.

i wish i believed boston could actually win this series
