[QUOTE="Ragashahs"]i have to say why was salamons on pierce? II-FBIsniper-II
I think Pierce's size advantage over Hinrich would be too much.

that sound right but throughout this seris henrich has been a much better defender becuase he sticks close pierce more, doesn't give him space, has active hand, and overall just messes with pierce's timeing

Who thinks the Bulls would have taken this series 4-1 by now if Deng was playing?

maybe but the bench scoring wasn't the problem today. as always the bulls main problem is when the shoots aren't going they need a big guy to get some hard earned point from the paint to take the pressure off the shooters. if they had a post threat not only would the shooters benefits but the defense would have to respect the post player along with rose giving rose more room to drive. beside deng is a very similar player to salamons there's nothing he can do that this team doesn't have also deng wasn't having that great of a year either

Trade him then? Jokim Noah is doing very well, maybe a PF other than Thomas?

No Flagrant Foul on Rondo? He didn't even attemped to go for the ball. Get out of here.

kidcool189

tough to call that at a time like that, hittin him in face was definitely non intentional, but got him good

but miller really should of made that WIDE open layup or his 2 ft's, it was a nifty play vinny drew up

rough loss for bulls, pierce couldnt of been more clutch(besides that very last free throw but didnt really matter that much)

just gotta get the game @ home and make this a 7 game series

I don't know, it looked pretty intentional to me. He made no attempt at the ball but rather at Miller's head. I mean, he had to do what he had to do in the heat of the moment at that critical point of the game. I understand that. But I think the refs should have recognized that. I think that the fact the we are talking about it, people all over the media are talking about it, means that something was definately not right about it. That said though, I don't blame the loss on that one play. The Bulls had all the opportunities to put this game away even before the end of regulation. Up by 11 midway through the 4th. Ben Gordon could have moved that last shot of regulation up quicker. He took too much time for that play to develop and by that time he was forced into a questionable shot. And geez, double team Pierce when he's in that clutch mode. Make someone else beat you even if it is Rondo.

Rondo definitely should have got a flagrant foul. Dwight Howard getting suspended was the right thing to do as much as some people didn't want to see that happen.

The NBA needs a referee overhaul. How is that a flagrant foul on Wade? He got all ball. Horrible officiating throughout the entire league.

Rondo gets a free pass though even though he admitted going after Miller's head. Ridiculous.

Come on...it is common knowledge that of the four major sports the NBA has by FAR the worst officiating. Fact.

Well yeah. It's a shame because even I feel guilty when my teams wins. At least the refs are pretty terrible both ways, but still. The horrible officiating is just magnified during the playoffs.

Yeah there were some pretty bad calls on flagrant/non-flagrant during the playoffs so far...

Rondo's having a terrific postseason, he's really grown on me (I admit I don't like the Celtics at all, except maybe Ray Allen) and he's a very exciting player to watch.

But that was an UGLY flagrant, not a flagrant 2, but definitely a flagrant.

I love Dwight Howard and I was extremely disappointed in his elbow through Dalembert's head.

Both series will go the distance, and I'm pretty sure an upset is in the making.

Miami-Atlanta will go the distance too.

Don't hold your breath, Chicago would be lucky to see game 7. In fact they are lucky they made it this far, Boston beat themselves in game 1. A couple of free throws from Pierce or one or so made shots from Allen and the Bulls get knocked out in 5, Garnett there it would have been a sweep.
