2011 NBA Playoffs Thread

during these playoffs all theyve had is Rose..

that's what they've done all year. not only in the playoffs. but again look at game 6 of the last series. they have other guys that can score enough to win games. they don't need to score 95 to 100 points to win games. for a miami fan to say "all they have is rose" is weak because all miami has is 3 guys period that score. but there is more than scoring. the bulls are a significantly better rebounding team as well. again these are things that people are overlooking in favor of 2 star players. i think the bulls outrebounded them on average of 10 per game in the reg season.

barkley and smith are picking the bulls as we speak lol. chuck has been spot on with the playoff picks. and they have been bold.

i saw a stat today that said no team that had been swept in the reg season had ever come back in the playoffs to beat the team that swept them. and I of all people can validate that stat lol.

ya well there was a stat that said no #8 seed went on to win game 1 of the second round after taking out the #1 seed.. and that happened.. im surprised people are picking the bulls to win this.. im not worried in the slighest that my Heat might lose.. gonna be a good series though..

didn't golden state beat utah in a game a few years ago in the second round? I may be wrong...i don't remember.

anyway...i agree anything can happen. I just think that people are overlooking some aspects of basketball. like rebounding and interior defense. chicago has to dominate that part of the game and they have the personnel to do it.

lebron said it himself, "this is going to be a low scoring series" why did he say this? because he knows everything will be contested in the paint. chicago plays better interior defense compared to most if not all teams in the league. miami will have to make jump shots to win this series. we know they their big 3 can hit jumpers. but in a defensive game it is going to come down to rebounding. I feel that chicago is a better rebounding team and is a deeper team. that combined with a home court advantage favors chicago.

 

[Gee!]

that combined with a home court advantage favors chicago.

chicago is gonna lose homecourt advantage tonite...

Bibby! UofA! All day!

LOL

They even commented on how he's been missing shots since he got to Miami.

 

[Dayman]

D-Wade, meet Taj Gibson.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Gibson !!!

With the 3 earlier, the defense, and the slam !!!

 

[Gee!]

And Bosh posterizes Boozer..

 

[Lorenzo]

And Bosh posterizes Boozer..

bosh is playing great. this is how he has to play for them to win.

boozer looks sloppy.

 

[Lorenzo]

wow james hits a dirk shot.

rose is hitting outside shots. if he shoots like that he is impossible to defend.

 

[Lorenzo]

Gibson !!!

With the 3 earlier, the defense, and the slam !!!

yeah i thought dwade would be on top 10 plays....

to his defense he was in a tight spot. 1 on 2.

bulls blowing this one open with a 7 point lead. to me their depth is showing so far. as the game goes on that should continue to be in their favor.

 

[Gee!]

Why do they keep saying Noah is 7'1? He is 6"11 at best..

 

[Lorenzo]

Why do they keep saying Noah is 7'1? He is 6"11 at best..

well if kevin durant is 7ft then noah is 7'1 no doubt.

17 offensive boards for the bulls....

Hate jinxing anything, but where you at Gee?

pretty soon he's gonna be in the game. spolstra better suit dampier next time lol.

seriously. this game is not over....never over with dwade and james on the court. but the chicago depth is killing it. even moreso than I thought so far. we'll see what happens.

 

[Dayman]

Looks like somebody else showed up for the Bulls. His name is Stifling Team Defense. Having a bench doesn't hurt, either.
