NBA Playoff thread -- 4.24.2011

PrintLots of games on today to take our minds off yesterdays events:
Miami @ Philadelphia 1 PM ET
Boston @ NY 3:30 PM ET
Orlando @ Atlanta 7:00 PM ET
LAL @ NO 9:30 PM ET
Apparently there were only 2 fouls called on the three-headed monster of Miami in game three in 120 minutes played... Let's see if the refs have an agenda in any of these games to extend some series. Also, the Heat are averaging 32 FTA.
I'm predicting, Sixer, Knicks, Magic and Laker victories.

The lakers are already filled in for the 9:30 game.

Yeah so would I.
Funny thing is I saw on yahoo sports last night them listing the game first as TBA, which it has been for awhile, then as 1230 pm eastern time with the 26th Tuesday. Obviously that won’t be happening

Win or lose with Philly,
I think this game just shows it’s hard to keep any playoff team down an entire series, especially on their home court. The only thing I worry about with the Bulls is Rose being healthy. The rest doesn’t seem to matter…yet lol.

Yeah, first it's hard 'cause the players have pride and you may get complacent being up 3-0
Second it’s hard to sweep ’cause you usually gotta play against the refs, too. (Especially true yesterday)
MN: 13
I've been a Bulls fan since we had Orlando Woolridge.
Yeah I’m old enough to remember all the people panicking he was a bad influence for the city with his history when the Bulls acquired him. Yet saying all that I turned off the game in the 3rd quarter and watched the score on the net. It was just too painful to watch Rose play hurt and the Bulls struggle so much. I sure hope he can play at 70% or whatever he will be and the Bulls put them away. Rest for the rest of the week. I expect it and if I was Thibs by now I’d demand it from the other players. They have to step up.

Yeah, bad move to switch shoes right before the playoffs IMO.
MN: 13
Well that could be true.
Orlando had beat his gf when the Bulls drafted him and many were upset he represented the city. Seems almost tame these days. Shoes or no, Rose can’t always carry the team and these guys are paid too much money not to take over when needed.

I'm kinda warming up to Evan Turner
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Well he's still young.
I mean he’s big, can handle the ball, can shoot… I’d take him here
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
He's probably the 2nd best Wingman in the draft
Just the three players ahead of him on the boards were all head-cases (Monroe, Favors, Cousins).
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
Ur probably right.
The draft kind of sucked. Wall and Cousins weren’t very healthy/good, Turner couldn’t get minutes, Favors/Monroe/Wesley Johnson were all underwhelming, etc. This had to be one of the worst draft classes I’ve seen.
Miami is their hot chick they wanna make it with after the game.
They aren’t going to help Philly. They hardly even know they are on the court.

Most of his blocks

Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well

You can still block the balll above the hoop
It’s either after the ball touches the backboard or after the ball reaches the top of its arc does it become a goaltend.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
Actually
The ball has to be still going up. So BEFORE it reaches the top of it’s arc you can block it.
MN: 13
Good to know, I wonder if a ref is actually good at being able to tell when the top of the arc is
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
Lebron is gonna get payback for that,
even though it wasn’t even a hard hit; Rose gets that 10x per game. I smell a monster dunk.
I know. That was nothing.

I'm not sure if he's worse
Boozer is a better low-post defender and rebounder. Bosh is better at close-outs and as a shot-blocker.
I don't think Booz is a better low post defender.
For a guy his size, he gives up ground way too easily.
I'll take the close out and shot blocker thing
Since we got Noah and Asik
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Well, you just hate Boozer
So I don’t really consider you to be objective on this point. I don’t really get why we are comparing the two anyways. It’s not like the BUlls didn’t go after Bosh.
Oh whatever
Don’t paint me like I’m blinded by some weird hatred. I speak the damn truth about Boozer. And I was talking about the fact that Bosh can block shots which Boozer can’t do. If and when Boozer plays better I’ll lay off his ass. Until then…
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Whatever man
You can’t wait to get on Boozer’s ass after every game. You can be the blog’s prime Boozer-hater if you want, but don’t get all huffy when people don’t take you seriously at times.
Dude.
I really don’t care what you take seriously. I mean what I say about players and take them back when I’m wrong. If you’ve noticed me slamming Boozer more times than not it’s because he’s sucked more times than not. It’s not like I’m in the minority with that opinion. I liked him when he got here but call it like I see it. If others want to cut him more slack that’s cool too. I won’t.
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Boozer's had a bad series
But you act as if he’s played like ass all season long. That simply isn’t the case.
Well first off
it would require him playing the whole season to qualify as him playing bad the whole season so you’re correct there. Secondly, he’s played well at the most 2 months. The rest he hasn’t. That’s just how I see it. Also this is why he was brought here. To perform in the playoffs and be a true second option. If he won’t jump and defend against Hansborogh in the playoffs then we got real problems
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
At most 2 months?
He hasn’t played as well post-All-Star break, but he is still averaging 14.8 and 9. You can’t just ignore the first three months that he played either.
As far as the Hansbourgh shit. You’ve got to be kidding me. Hansbrough was uncharacteristically hot on 18 foot jumpers in Game 1. For the entire series Hasnbrough is averaging 10 points on 33% shooting and 4 rebounds per game. Boozer on the other hand is averaging 12 and 11.5. He has missed some bunnies around the rim, but he hasn’t been near the liability that you are implying.
Boozer missed the first 30 games of the season
Then missed another 8 or so after his ankle injury. So we’re talking almost half the season right? So yeah about 2 months of Boozer looking like Boozer. Then he started playing a little worse before that ankle injury so I’m actually being generous by saying 2 months.
15 and 9 isn’t enough JSB. Hell Taj was giving us close to that and playing defense earlier in the year. The guy needs to give 20 and 10 because he’s that bad defensively. What has always been the saying on this board about BG? Yeah he’ll give you 20 but he’ll give up 20. Well at least BG gave you 20 consistently! Boozer isn’t giving that and he still giving up points. He’s a PF, finishing around the rim isn’t asking a lot. Expect more from this guy.
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Boozer played 59 games this season
He missed the first 14 games of the season, not 30. He played 70% of the season and averaged 17.5 and 9.5 on 51% shooting. Not quite what we hoped for, but not a total disaster by any means.
Boozer played great in December and January when we were missing Joakim and needed him most. He started to play a little worse in February and was in a full-fledged slump in April.
I’m not sure what’s changed since February. I wonder if he might still have some lingering ankle problems.
I do expect a bit more from Boozer than 15 and 10. I’m also not writing him off, and I think we shouldn’t forget how important his rebounding is.
by JSB on Apr 24, 2011 3:24 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
Ok my mistake on the missed games
But as I do think 2 months of great play is what we’ve seen so far. I hope he plays better too but I don’t what he’s given over the last 2 months is enough. If he was playing bad before the ankle injury I would understand but there was a down tick before then. So I’m not exactly sure what the issue is at this point.
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
Me neither
The Bulls need BOTH Boozer and Noah get back to the level that they were playing at in the early season. Yesterday was Noah’s best game in a long while, so hopefully we will see Boozer get it going soon too.
Boozer is also damn good at boxing out and using his position
Something I don’t see Bosh ever do
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.

That's actually scary
But dropping one game isn’t the Armageddon you’d think it was from reading this blog.
Miami didn't look that bad;
the Bulls looked like shit. Its quite a difference; though our best player was hobbled, and it might be pretty fucking bad.
I think a lot of it just has to do with the styles the two teams play
I’m not sure I’ve seen any games this season where I thought Miami “looked” like shit.
Miami looks like shit every game
their offense is the stupidest thing ever, they just lean on LeBron and Wade and hope they score a bunch and then defend people with athleticism.
I mean, it works, but … I don’t like watching it.
It’s just that people are scared of the unknown. What I have seen of him is exactly what we need and I can’t believe he isn’t being at least gotten some burn after all we’ve seen. -SoulEater7

To be fair, Lebron actually did the right thing and drove for a quality shot rather than jacking a jumper.
Nevertheless, watching the Heat lose is a privilege I enjoy.
he still shouldn't have the ball
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!
I agree. But, that decision might not be completely in his hands.
If Spoelstra and Wade both support him as the closer (wrongly of course) all he can do is take the best shot, and I think he actually did. Philly’s defense was just perfect. I think this was more Philly winning that last possession than Lebron losing.
He really didn't take the best shot though
LeBron should know that if he drives he can draw the foul any if he wants. He chuck up that shot. It was bad. I mean it hit the top of the backboard and rolled off. Philly’s D was good, but LeBron could have put up a better shot.
He drove for a quality shot
But took a terrible one thus failing the point of driving in the first place.
Actually, I might have done that if I was Spoelstra.
They know they will win this series and it would be nice for Miami to see LeChoke come through for the future.

Of course I’m a Bulls fan. But, I want them to win. If they are going to win, Derrick needs to shoot better. It’s not complicated.
I'm sure you can make a correlative
debate that he takes more forced shots when his teammates are getting controlled.\
It’s too easy to say that Rose needs to shoot better. He’s proven that he can and will, but it’s not a proven fact that Boozer will. If anything the only sure thing with Boozer is that we have no idea of what kind of performance we’ll get from him.

This is the first time I've seen Turner actually look good out there.
Despite a couple of boneheaded plays where he should have given it up, there’s hope for him yet.
I wonder why the Celtics don't feed KG more.
He’s still deadly in the post.
In all seriousness,
he’s still a fantastic scorer and should be a bigger part of their offense. His length and array of post moves make him un-guardable down there.
Sometimes I wish we could just swap Boozer for KG.
Just thinking about a KG/Noah front court gives me chills. Despite hating each other now, you just now both of these guys are going to be best buds if they’re on the same team.
It just hit me that all three of the guys calling this game have a significant connection to the knicks

He had 32 vs Denver the one game Rose didn't play.
(I think)
MN: 13
I know we make fun of fastass Davis all of the time,
but he’s an ideal player alongside Rose(for some spurts). He’s a knock-down shooter from 18-in and would get even more looks with Rose.
KT
can jump higher than pig baby
Rose: Who in the blue hell are you?
Rondo: Well
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE!
He would be ideal for hack-a-Foster
Derrick Rose will be suspended by the NBA because he has broken too many ankles.
You are kidding about being a knock-down shooter from 18 feet
He is one of the worst shooters on long 2s this season. He shoots almost 4.6 long 2s per game and hits only 35% on them. Not good.
Not really
Taj is at 38% on the same shot this season.

Probably something about how we can feel better, or that we're not alone

Same shit goes for the pre-Melo Knicks.

I'd trade both Boozer and Noah, and find a way to try to keep Deng.
I know this would be a bit unpopular, but you offer to take Arenas’ contract off the Magic’s hands.
I would propose Dwight Howard and Gilbert Arenas to Chicago. Joakim Noah, Keith Bogans, Ronnie Brewer, and Kyle Korver and the Charlotte pick to Orlando, and Carlos Boozer to Denver.
Denver gets another piece to help them contend out West, Orlando gets Noah and all guys that can expire after this season, and we get Dwight freaking Howard.
We would be left with
PG-Derrick Rose/CJ Watson
SG-Gilbert Arenas
SF-Luol Deng/Brian Scalabrine
PF-Taj Gibson/Kurt Thomas
C- Dwight Howard/Omer Asik
We would have the best big three in the league in Rose, Deng, and Howard, none of which duplicate what the other guys already do, and they should all complement each other’s games really well. We still have pretty good front court depth, and all four of our main big men are good defenders, which should make us a really strong defense.
I’d look for a good shooter at shooting guard with the MLE, hopefully to start at shooting guard over Arenas. Then get a shooter and another big man in the draft this year.
I would absolutely gut the roster if need be to get Dwight. Dwight’s not a faux superstar like Melo. Rose/Howard would be this generations Kobe/Shaq, and I don’t think they would have the chemistry issues those two had. Dwight is the perfect complement for Rose. He will set some hard picks which will make it easier for Rose to drive, and when Rose drives and misses, Howard would be the ultimate garbage man. You know all those putbacks Noah misses? Howard doesn’t usually miss on those.

Yes Jamal is a chucker

We don’t have a guy like that and that’s why we have to play perfect on the defensive end. You just have to limit a chucker’s minutes. Vinnie Johnson was a chucker and got 2 rings. He was called “microwave” not only because he scored quickly but because his minutes were limited. BG would be the perfect microwave for us right now.

Boozer guarding Gasol? No thanks
and Hansbrough was eating... he was eating chocolate chip cookies with a fork.
Boozer has shown me that we are not yet ready to take on the Lakers.....too weak.
Noah is really a PF playing Center.
I disagree
Noah can guard any big man, and IMO, a power forward is someone you can throw the ball to when you need a basket. Noah can’t do that.

That’s just talking bigs though, and not the team in general.

Nah. I feel pretty much the same way.
The Celtics sweeping the Knicks was a fait accompli once Billups went out and Stat became banged up. The Knicks do not have a good team outside of Melo and half Stat.
Plus, the C’s have been to this rodeo before. You expect them to dispatch a team like the Knicks with (relative) ease. The Heat, since they came together this year, are in a spot similar to the Bulls’.

my team because I want the Bulls in the Finals. The drama of the Perkins trade would just kill Boston. I have concerns that the Bulls softness right now, but we are winning, so maybe I am worrying over nothing.

to deal with Perkins after trading him away.

Rose is just more of a Wade type of player
Which is fine to me, because Wade is better than CP3. CP is not a physically dominant player. He relies a little too much on trickery for my liking. Can’t go wrong with him though

Boozer and Bogans have been awful.
Rose basically has Deng and Korver thats it.
and Hansbrough was eating... he was eating chocolate chip cookies with a fork.
Jesus fucking christ
Rose has better teammates than Paul. We can say Paul is a better passer and floor general without committing sacrilege.
Stop being such a goddamn homer.
Who are these offensive players the Bulls have?
and Hansbrough was eating... he was eating chocolate chip cookies with a fork.
His teammates haven't been good offfensively this series.
It’s not about who’s better overall. Bulls play insane defense, but offensively, Rose carries a shit ton of the load.

Deng and Boozer are miles better than anyone....
the Hornets have playing in this series. Korver > Belinelli, and Noah > Okafor/Gray while we’re at it.
Would you not agree that both Deng and Boozer have
underperformed this series (offensively especially) ?

In this series? Yes.
But, over the course of their entire careers you would have to be basketball stupid to argue that Rose is a better playmaker than Paul.
I'm saying what he does on the court
has a bigger impact on the game.
Dunno about playmaker. I assume playmaker is getting a score by passing or by scoring, so I can’t agree to that.

Playmaker = setting up teammates for easy baskets
That’s all it means. And Paul is better at it than Rose.
Last I checked, getting double teamed
allows a teammate to be open. And he’s made a shit ton of passes. Plus, you have to look at how the Hornets run their offense. They play completley different.
I would love to see Paul “playmake” with all that aggressive defense Rose sees.

Thank you.
You can love Rose, and acknowledge that another PG is better at one aspect of the game.
Jesus. The fucking Rose apologists need to back off. You and I both believe that he is the best PG (and probably player) in the game, and anytime anyone critiques an aspect of his game posters jump all over him.
Anytime someone disagrees, people are jumping all over him.

We aren't talking in a vaccum here
We aren’t comparing Deng to LeBron. We are comparing Deng/Korver/Bogans/Boozer/Noah/Thomas to Ariza/Bellini/Willie Green/Okafor/Gray.
Rose objectively has better teammates than Paul. Just like Rondo objectively has better teammates than Rose.
How much better offensively are they?
I think Deng is the only one to even score 20+ in the series. But right, that’s all Rose’ fault…

Sorry for what. They're up 3-1 and Rose sprained his ankle

How is Boozer getting his ass blocked or missing the rim completely Rose's fault?
and Hansbrough was eating... he was eating chocolate chip cookies with a fork.
lol dude the Lakers struggle guarding point guards.
He is a post player and how can he get him open looks when he can’t even convert easy dunks?
and Hansbrough was eating... he was eating chocolate chip cookies with a fork.
Boozer hasn't missed easy dunks
Almost every shot Boozer has missed at the rim has been contested.
Boozer has played like ass this series, but we don’t need to make shit up.
he didn't actually say that it was "completely Rose's fault"
but I think this time is as good as any to go on anti-Boozer and a little anti-Deng rant.
The idea that Rose is suppose to be setting up Boozer and Deng like Paul sets up Gray and Landry is BS to me. Chris Paul is a unique player. The rest of the 29 NBA teams with 2nd and 3rd scoring options don’t have Chris Paul. Gasol, Bosh, Howard, Odom, Durant, Aldridge, Horford, Garnett – pretty much every big good big man is able to contribute without their point guard creating a lay-up at the rim. Boozer is suppose to have more in common with those guys than fucking Landry and Aaron Gray. If Boozer needs Rose to escort him to the rim than he needs to be gone because that isn’t how you win NBA championships, with your 2nd scorer completely dependent on your 1st scorer to get him easy looks.

The Lakers are idiots? Only explanation I can see. I remember I was reading a recap of game 3, they trapped Paul for a bit and it was totally shutting the Hornets down. I guess they stopped because they got bored or something.

Fair enough
They should at least give it a shot.
Still think Paul would handle the traps a little better than Rose. But, good point about him being their only really good player.
I dont think chris would handle it better
Paul is playing the lakers, they make aron brooks look like a superstar. Rose is facing much tougher defense. I dont understand why the lakers dont pack the paint like the pacers do and force those guys to shoot jumpers. it is not debatable that pauls vision is better but I think it is far tougher to get guys good looks at the rim when the pacers pack the paint because they dont respect luol as a shooter and keith bogans as a human being.
The only reason why Rose is facing tougher defense
Is because they can put their defense liability on Bogans, or Brewer if he plays.
Bears. Bulls. White Sox.
But Ariza averages 13 points a game in the playoffs
Bogans just 3 points a game LOL
and Hansbrough was eating... he was eating chocolate chip cookies with a fork.

Bulls would kill for a starting 2 guard that could do that.

Lakers have a way better defense than the Pacers
If you are really arguing that the Pacers are a tougher matchup, I don’t know what to say.
do you think the Lakers are playing better defense than the Pacers?
i’ve seen every game of the Bulls series and 2 out of 4 of the Lakers series. I don’t see the same type of defensive attention being paid to Paul despite the fact that he has less talented teammates. They aren’t even trapping him let alone sending a double team as soon as he crosses half court.
by Basketball Smurf on Apr 25, 2011 12:23 AM CDT up reply actions
Pacers are playing harder for sure
But, Pacers also have way, way, less talent that the Lakers.
Chris Paul has played a 2 all-time great games so far, and Rose has had 1 great game, 1 good game and 2 games that were below his par. I don’t see what the problem is.
The Pacers also match up better with the Bulls.
and Hansbrough was eating... he was eating chocolate chip cookies with a fork.
Dude Im not saying the pacers are better than the lakers or their defense as a whole is better
but their defense as far as playing the point position is much better than the lakers, I dont know what you are watching but kobe cant guard chris. the pacers have definitely made better adjustments as far as guarding the point is concerned
You think Rose is better at setting up his teammates than Rose?
Because that’s what this argument is all about.
thats not what im saying
but the pacers are playing far better defense on the point than the lakers are, they are expending so much energy to try and stop rose, Rose really does not have the time to make plays with the way they are trapping so hard on him. paul is basically roaming free out there with a few exceptions.
actually the argument was about
the type of defense Paul is facing
The TNT crew makes a point. Chris Paul has not recieved traps like Rose has.
