remember when everyone hated him at the beginning of this year?
He wasnt a factor early
no conditioning, we just called it like we saw it. Good thing he took the initiative to improve his game.

Then we should get three FTs.

If they are going to start
splitting hairs then they need to review that whole final play. We should either get Miller’s 2 or Gordon should get three fts. Easier just to leave Miller’s 2 on the board.

I will re-think my opinions on Del Negro if the Bulls pull off this upset.
Even though I think a good coach would have had them at a 4-seed, and a Garnett-less Celtics isn’t anything more than a middle-of-the-road EC team… this Bulls team isn’t that good, so I’ll take it.

Upset in the game or in the series?

The series.
This team “should” win at least a game, maybe two. I’m not confident enough in the talent to say they should win the series. If that’s so, then winning the series means he coached them well. (in my opinion, anyway.)

Yea, that's what I thought you meant, just making sure
and I totally agree. If they could pull it off, that would definitely shut me up for a while

We’ll take the series. It all depends on the adjustments at half time, which is why I think tyger is saying he would rethink his opinion of VDN I think.

by Khalid El-Amin on Apr 18, 2009 12:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Exactly. They're winning, have looked good doing, seem to have a plan and are executing it.
My only worry is that Rivers intentionally concentrated on getting Rondo and Perkins involved early thinking they’d still be close at half-time, and then will go to Pierce and Allen this half.
At least, that’s what I thought. But they’ve taken 11 shots, and that’s not “nothing.” i just don’t see how they’ve done so poorly with Gordon and a hobbled Salmons guarding them.
Viva la nuance! Reading comprehension rules!!!
Pierce really isn't forcing the issue, Allen is playing poorly so far
I’m scared of Pierce because he doesn’t need to get his jumpshot going, because he draws fouls so well. The Bulls aren’t going to look good if the pace slows down, because they’re not shooting well.

Pierce has made a habit of coasting in games this year and then unleashing himself
in the fourth quarter. Be on the lookout for that. He’s deadly in the 4th quarter, one of the game’s best.

I think Thomas is making a difference just roaming the lane.
He didn’t do it at the very beginning, but the rest of the time, when he’s roamed the middle, Davis and Perkins have thought twice about taking little hook shots.
If Rose, Noah and Thomas “break out” the future of this team is ridiculously bright.

Huge difference on D
Seeing rondo abandon his drive when TT is camped under the basket makes all the difference.

Boston has yet
to figure out the Bulls don’t defend P’n’R! Yeah, they want to trap/show hard on Pierce and Allen, but those guys aren’t trapped as easily as BG, for example. And the other guys can go to the basket a bit, especially Rondo.
Pierce and Allen have been about as effective as Deng has for the Bulls. Look for it to change in the 2nd.

The C's also don't run the pick and roll as much without Garnett because their other guys can't shoot
the pick and pop shot, and they don’t roll to the basket that well. Perkins wants to operate under the hoop, same with Powe. BBD wants to shoot pick and pop jumpers, but fortunately for the Bulls, that’s what we want him to do, too, cause he’s not that good of a shooter.

I’m sayin’ it’s gonna have to change! Also, their transition D has been terrible, and that’s mostly effort. No way should the Bulls have as many transition scores after Celts’ made baskets.

Of course,
Brad Miller has been pretty much asleep for us. Salmons looks like he’s not gonna be much help on offense either. He’s not really looking for the 3. But still a good game defensively, so far.

Got a Warning from a Friend
Boston’s been playing this act all year against good teams Go down early, then come back with a vengeance in the third quarter. That team OWNS the third quarter.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
While I think the Bulls are playing well,
the Celtics are playing absolutely atrocious. I doubt they’ll keep playing this way in the second half.
Hey we'll take it, though
I agree the C’s are going to come out with a ton of intensity, and Pierce is going to take over at the appropriate moment. But, how refreshing to see Chicago execute, defend, play with heart on the road? Color me impressed so far.

we're doing okay
Boston is making their run and we’re handling it okay so far. This was expected. If we can come out of the 3rd with the lead still intact I’ll be thrilled.
On the other hand, I can't believe Derrick Rose is on the Bulls
He’s too good.

Can anyone remember a rookie with a playoff debut like this one? He is the best player out there.
