turned the ball over plenty, salmons and BG had off games, shot horrible from the three point line so its not like everyting fell in line for them either.

We also need Salmons, Miller, Gordon, and Hinrich to all suck balls

Until now. First in Detroit when it mattered so that we didn’t get the Cavs and now IN BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not trying to be pessimistic
but its unlikely that derrick is going to produce that much every game. I’m just saying guys like Salmons, Kirk need to help him out.

Salmons was taking more than his fair share of the offense.
Gordon wasn’t missing a lot. He just wasn’t taking a lot early on. I’d rather some of those shots went to Gordon.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
Right. If Salmons groin is bothering him that much.
(And this is four straight games, no?), then he needs to not be allowed to shoot as much.
Fuck Vinny Del Negro.
He was hitting shots
inside the ft area. Otherwise he didn’t have the lift and his shots release was slow enough the defender got a hand on it multiple times. I hope Vinny watches tape and realize how NOT to use Salmons in the next game.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
Gordon was there in the 4th
Didn’t take a lot of shots until then. Miller and Salmons really hurt us down the stretch. We did have a good lead until that went sour. Coach left them in too long. Tyrus was on the bench. That was stupid.

not to mention
allen probably couldn’t play worse

If you can’t enjoy a phenomenal, exciting performance without letting the air out of your own balloon, why be a fan?

Great point
and even with BG not doing that great the first 3 quarters, he did what he had to when it mattered and got 12 in the 4th

Do you see Rondo
or the Celtics back court getting any better than they were today? Rose and Noah played out of their minds but it was within their talent level. I don’t see why they can’t both have good games again. If Gordon gets back on track they won’t need to be THAT good again for us to win. We had the game in hand until Miller was in too much. It didn’t have to be as close as it was today with less Miller and Salmons.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
I can see Rondo consitently throwing a 22/7 on us
Because our defense is iffy. Pierce will be Pierce, and Allen likely won’t shoot 1 for 12 again. I’m tempering expectations, but I will gladly let the Bulls defy logic 3 more times.

Since it is a road win
Thats encouraging that they played that well. I think their more consistent at home so we’ll see.
I don’t expect them to bust out but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them have a game similiar to this. As long as we are playing up tempo.
No, but that's the thing.
Some guys played over their heads. Some played poorly. It all evened out I think.
maybe everyone has bad games and they’re embarrassed.
Maybe everyone happens to have a great game together and they destroy the Celtics.
Fuck Vinny Del Negro.
Gordon showed up when he needed to
and Salmons was injured and needed a better coach to reign him in. Defensively Salmons did fine. Just too many shots for the type of injury he is working through. Miller…did not need to play that much. Tyrus could have played more in the second half and given us less Miller time. The game might not have gotten out of control if that had happened.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
I think people should get excited
Or stop watching the games. Because from 2 months ago or 3 this was maybe the worst team in the league. (not record wise)
Now we’re in the playoffs and stole a game. All we could hope for was to make it a series already so its only looking good. Its a win win to me.

Tyrus is dumb. Tyrus has low basketball IQ. Tyrus isn't Aldridge.
Tyrus was a wasted draft pick. Tyrus is a bust. Tyrus should be traded while he still has value. Tyrus is out of control. Tyrus is misanthrope. Tyrus is a malcontent.
Tyrus carried the Bulls to victory in overtime versus the defending world champions.

Right, I get it Ozzie. The Bulls aren’t winning it all this year, and don’t consider the “season is over.” But with Boston it’s an entirely different expectation (or realistic hope) being the defending champs.

Don't believe Soul
Tyrus was very good. I love that he has ice-water for blood, making most all of his shots at the scene of his worst game. We needed more Tyrus and less Miller, actually. But Tyrus is getting pushed around for rebounds against this team, and that no doubt will continue.
It was just like I always dreamed with this team. Rose, Joakim and Tyrus lead the way.

Derrick Rose scored 36 points in his first career playoff game and helped the Chicago Bulls do something not even Michael Jordan could: beat the Boston Celtics in the postseason.
lnk: Watch the preview after and nod ur head everytime Mashburn talks
It's tough to be around competitive situations . . . but I've been able to manage. I've been able to survive. (GOAT)
D Rose is a cold blooded assasin...
…what a dude

SOOOOOOO
glad we took Derrick and not Michael Beasley…..

oh god.. i threw up a little
I remember Michael dribbling at the top of the key. Everybody knew to just get the hell out of his way. - Steve Kerr
Not quite-
can can’t beat his man off the dribble like Pierce does. I still think Beasley’s going to be very very good – but wow. We picked us a leader and a potential superstar.

Pierce plays defense, and in his prime could carry a team himself.
Pierce cares about basketball. Beasley cares about…crazy?

Pierce played after getting stabbed multiple times
The guy is a warrior, I doubt even LeBron James could come back like that.

Celtics fan here
Wow guys, what can I say other then, what a freaking great performance by your team, I would be pretty proud right now if I were a bulls fan, and pretty confident in Derricks Roses future….wow.
Gonna be a great series, asnd the most entertaining thing about the game was the rondo vs rose matchup…very exciting…rose deffinetly got the better of him today, but rondo played pretty well and its gonna be a matchup to follow in the future. rose is special, and gonna be a superstar, I knew this all along and thats why i wanted the 76ers
Im sad, but great game guys

HOLY SHIT
So of every rookie in NBA HISTORY, he is tied with Abdul-Jabbar with most points in his first playoff game!!!
Stands up and proudfully cries and cheers
Do you like fishsticks?
Yes that is awesome
Game 2 is the anniversary of Jordan’s 63 point game against the Celtics! Maybe he can tie or break that record too!
No.
Abdul Jabbar wasn’t even a rookie when he did it, so Rose is the only Rookie ever to score that much in a playoff game.
I think
he WAS a rook. I don’t think he was 20 yrs old!

And the others who were close were Chamberlain and Duncan.
So he was the only non centre.
I wanna know how many guards are even close
Well, I guess most of the better rookies are high draft picks...meaning their team was bad the year before
which makes it that much less likely that their team will make the playoffs in that 1st year

In Jordan's rookie year, a previously horrible team became 38-44, made it to the playoffs,
but were swept by the Bucks in 4 games (according to wikipedia).

Anyone want to change their predictions of the Celtics winning the series after today's game?
I’m standing by mine: Bulls in 6
Congratulations to your CHICAGO BILLS !

ha!
and you know he knew he just called them the Bills but had no time to correct it.
going into Bulls playoff lock down..now!
he also called Rondo "Rose" while driving and maybe even vice versa
Celtsblog thinks the announcer should get fired

ESPN announcers are atrocious (Jon Barry – please quit your day job). That was my original comment that I wrote early in the 4th. Then the end of the game happened and now I need another bullet.

Great game by Rose
I was really impressed by his demeanor and calmness. He played his best game of the season at the right time.
Don’t go to Celticsblog.com, the author is whining about the refs. I can’t believe it. I wanted to leave a comment, but I figured it was a typical Celtic fan impulse reaction to blame the refs.
I fear for the day Paul Allen is no longer the owner of the Blazers.
He needs to reproduce soon so we have an heir in succession.
The refs were terrible for both teams
The amount of calls/non-calls in a playoff game involving the defending champs is ludicrous. The refs really are the worst part of the game.

The bad calls were followed by bad makeup calls all game.
A chain reaction all game until you didn’t know what was what.

I didn't think the officials were that bad
They are going to miss calls and make mistakes. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Anyone heard from NBAO yet?
Or his anlysis on how the C’s are better without KG?
"Playoffs? Are we talking about playoffs? Really, I mean... Playoffs?"
Scratch that...
On how The BULLS are better off with KG in the lineup against them. Just ask Joakim Noah and his 10,000 rebounds for proof.

Or, how we would win if they slowed down the tempo?
Because the Celtics LOVE to run (as evidenced by the combined 1000 pounds of Perkins and Davis)?
