Series Thread: 1) Boston Celtics vs 8) Chicago Bulls

[DorianRo]

It was funny at halftime the TNT halftime crew were hyping up the Bulls bench PG scrubs.

I wanted to see a Bulls/Cavs series. Damnit. Bulls gave them trouble all year

They'll win one in Chicago if for no other reason than to prolong my agony.

Psssh....they are going back to bean town tied at 2.

Told you so.

Wade is washed

 

[bksballer89]

So Derrick Rose just on a playoffs tour? Last night in Memphis and tonight in Chicago

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Wade's been washed

Not saying he sucks, but he needs to be a teams 4th or 5th best player , and fuck him at 20+M/year

 

[DorianRo]

Wade has disappointed me since 2006. Back when he was shaking baking defenders back then, I though this was the 2nd coming of Jordan (or the closest thing to it). I think he got complacent and lazy after that lead dog title

Such a strange series.

Such a strange series.

It's not everyday when your best players sister gets killed the day before the series starts.
Rondo was also playing great.

Yup. And the fact that the home team has yet to win in this series.

Celtics are winning this series 4-2

Not sure what to say guys. I guess this goes to Brad for going small. They had nothing to keep Lopez from going DC on us but w/o Rondo to open that lane, he is back to the old Lopez. The solution for Bulls is to reopen that lane some how.

The Smart Butler thing is great. You want to see intensity in the game and Smart is that for the Celtics. Brad hopefully is getting training at being a playoff coach. Its not the same as the regular season

Celtics got lucky this series. If Rondo were healthy in game 3 and 4, this series is over. I think this is the worst thing that could happen to the bulls because instead of getting a shot at a lottery pick,they make the playoffs and look like a competent team. It gives the front office an excuse. I'm sick of their fucking excuses. They need to go.

Celtics aren't even a contender this year. They may not even make it past the second round.

Hoiberg is a whiny bitch

Hoiberg is a whiny bitch

The Bulls feature a trio of guards... Rondo, Butler and Wade... who palm the ball as incessantly as anybody.

Furthermore: the Bulls only offensive strategy since Rondo has gone down is to set illegal, moving screens in the pick n roll game to help ensure favorable match-ups such as getting Butler isolated on Thomas.

 

[bksballer89]

This changes everything. Doesn't have to score or anything. Just get guys in the correct position on offense and play solid defense.

Not so fast, at least for game 5:

Celtics vs. Bulls: Rajon Rondo will not play in Game 5, questionable for Game 6

Check out Rondo practicing... he does not look like a dude who is ready to compete in an NBA game:


What's he going to do... catch passes by trapping the ball between his belly and left arm?

Rondo played with one arm before.

Underrated tough guy.
