Who's your unlikely gamechanger tonight?
I feel as if Hinrich will have a strong game along with the usual suspects of Gordan and Rose
Tyrus Thomas
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. --Bruce Bartlett
But seriously...
Vinnie is the gamechanger tonight.
Oh YEAH!!! They will present it before the game... :)

Let's pray that the heat that VDN has recieved since game 2
makes him get his act together. Save a TO and play Tyrus in the 4th.
the few, the proud, VDN. haha

How, KG teaching Perkins how to play
That’s a coach like him that we need to teach our bigs. Hopefully, Miller can do that in the future
Brad Miller for player-coach!
Maybe we can?

Isn't it amazing...?
the Bulls have more rebounds, but it doesn’t seem that way (8 are team rebounds)
Rondo with seven rebounds?

As if there was an argument that Rose was better?

everyone keeps saying that
but rondo i would say has killed us a lot more than pierce and allen. Rondo has been their most valuable player. Things like rebounding wouldnt matter much what team he was on. Put rondo on any other team and he would still kick ass.

Imagine how good Rose would look if he was playing against the Bulls _efense.

Rondo has been quietly good the whole season
Yeah, the Bulls defense makes him look other-worldly, but to deny his talent is just being homerish.

there is an argument.

The onlt thing is
we’ve probably played the sloppiest half of basketball in playoff history and we’re still in it. We should be down by at least 17-25

And the Celts are racking up fouls like crazy

oh well we're down 12 even when playing bad
good thing they’re rebounding well now to keep it somewhat close. Hopefully someone will get hot and the refs stop giving rondo freebies
Derrick Rose: 18 minutes, 5 points, 2 assists, 0 rebounds
Not gonna get it done if we wanna win this game, of course he’ll gladly defer until game 5 or 6

These guys never learn ... no one seems to understand ... entitlement mentality exists in in playoff games
The problem is they crossed this bridge when they had a chance to win 50 games laying the Nets, also crossed this bridge when they could have got the 6th seed and loss to Raptors .. now this
Perceived Guaranteed Win … Who motivates this team as a coach or player and really means it when they speak?
man up!
They all totally suck, but nobody worse than our clueless coaches.
Thibedau has the Bulls totally baffled. Rose has been pathetic. Gordon is being smothered. Brad Miller is a helpless, hopeless shell. Send him to a nursing home at halftime. Salmons is out of control selfish. Tyrus rebounded well but missed 3 cripples. There is no ABSOLUTELY NO DEFENSIVE GAME PLAN.
Gordon 1 for 7. Rose useless on defense while shooting 2 for 8 with 5 turnovers. The Dunce better let TT, DR and Noah get valuable playoff experience in the 2nd half because this game is history.
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.

Change Rose with Rondo
in that move and he’ll have an And-1
