Chicago@Indiana game 3

[lefty]

Yes !

[DMC]

115 - 92 Chicago

[NewJerSpur]

Scottie Pippen vs. Larry Bird, one-on-one at halftime.

[lefty]

Collison starting

[NewJerSpur]

Collison starting

Yes!

[NewJerSpur]

Granger's had some slow starts, that's a good start.

[NewJerSpur]

Chicago playing closeout defense, I like the trap on Collison whose ankle looks good btw.

[NewJerSpur]

Hibbert with the flop.

[NewJerSpur]

Good call on the hook.

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer clearing out yet screaming for the foul, lol.

[NewJerSpur]

Good move by Noah, weird shot.

[NewJerSpur]

Don't know about that call with Psycho T still on the move....maybe a no call?

[NewJerSpur]

Bad shot by Collison.

[NewJerSpur]

Pacers are going to give Noah the middle, they don't believe in his offense.

[NewJerSpur]

Dahnte going to work early.

[NewJerSpur]

Indiana's pleased to see Chicago funneling their offense through Noah to start.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Is this on NBATV?

[NewJerSpur]

Helter Skelter to start, but the effort is there from both teams.

[NewJerSpur]

Is this on NBATV?

Unfortunately.

[NewJerSpur]

Tough shot by price.

[NewJerSpur]

Bulls moving the ball, getting easier shots, Indiana's scrambling.

[NewJerSpur]

Josh Rimrocker with the scoop and-1.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice to see Dunleavy in action doing what he does.

[NewJerSpur]

That was no foul.

[NewJerSpur]

Ball don't lie.

[NewJerSpur]

Interesting that TJ Ford is still riding the Pine.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, there sure are a lot of Bull fans at Conseco tonight, lol.

[NewJerSpur]

Don't know about that call, Foster trapped pretty hard before going down.

[NewJerSpur]

Rose was bodied there.

[NewJerSpur]

Hibbert goes up pretty weak sometimes for a big his size.

[4>0rings]

:lmao McRoberts just went Gervin on that ass.

[NewJerSpur]

Great trap on Korver off of the screen and good decision-making buy Collison on the herky-jerk dribble.....good to see him back.

[lefty]

George!!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

When Paul George's offense catches up with his defensive effort, he's going to be a valuable commodity.

[NewJerSpur]

WOW, what a pass!!

[Reck]

Damn NewJerSpur is rolling this thread on. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Ugly possession by Indy.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn NewJerSpur is rolling this thread on. :lol

Just doing my part.....and padding my stats. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

If that would've went down, series would've been over, lol.

[Reck]

Chicago can score and be leading within a minute if they wanted too.

It seems like the Pacers cant hold a lead for more then 5 minutes straight.

If Pacer wanna win this they better be leading by 20. lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

This series might go 5 games

[Reck]

Also, I find it disgusting that there seens to be more Bulls fans in the Pacer's own arena then there are Pacer's.

If I was a Pacer I would be embarrassed and mad as hell.

[hitmanyr2k]

I like how the Bulls responded to end the half. Nothing was going their way but they went on a nice little run.

[NewJerSpur]

Also, I find it disgusting that there seens to be more Bulls fans in the Pacer's own arena then there are Pacer's.

If I was a Pacer I would be embarrassed and mad as hell.

Lol, they're all over the arena....seems like they got to the ticket booth faster than the fans in Indiana did.

[Giuseppe]

C'mon, Indy, one time for Pappy.

[NewJerSpur]

Paul George in D-Rose's nightmares, he heard the footsteps.

[NewJerSpur]

Hibbert is a poor finisher at the rim.

[NewJerSpur]

Indiana is going to regret missing these point blank layups.

[hitmanyr2k]

I hated Boozer when he was with the Jazz. I hate him 10x more now that he's on the Bulls.

[Reck]

LOL Pacers cant make below the ring shots.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice rebound by Psycho T.

[Reck]

How can a team miss so many shots below the rim? For fuck's sake Pacers are a joke.

[LnGrrrR]

So is Rose just morphing into another SG on the court or what? Only 1 assist, 12 shots, 5 turnovers...

[NewJerSpur]

I hated Boozer when he was with the Jazz. I hate him 10x more now that he's on the Bulls.

:lol

Was going to ask you about that....I remembered we were clowning on him last year for the same stuff he's doing in Chicago.

[hitmanyr2k]

Nice attempt of Foster trying to mask a clothesline there :lol

[lefty]

No double T

Because its Rose

[DPG21920]

Foster, that was kinda pimp.

[NewJerSpur]

Conseco Field House is FILLED with Bulls fans....they were chanting MVP during that altercation just now, lol.

[hitmanyr2k]

So is Rose just morphing into another SG on the court or what? Only 1 assist, 12 shots, 5 turnovers...

Pacers are throwing some good defense on him. He'll adjust.

[Reck]

Theres something funny about C-Webb talking about dirty plays.. lol

[NewJerSpur]

Pacers bricking those point blank layups isn't helping their efforts.

[NewJerSpur]

Jones about to take over out this mofo.

[NewJerSpur]

Foster stopped a surefire fastbreak with that tip out of bounds.

[Reck]

Why does Boozer screams like a faggot everytime he goes for a rebound?

[NewJerSpur]

Bogans playing some aggressive defense.

[hitmanyr2k]

Boozer should be shot. That's the softest fuckin "power" forward I've ever seen. He NEVER goes up with any force. Just that Kobe-esque "EYYY" bullshit.

[Reck]

Boozer should be shot. That's the softest fuckin "power" forward I've ever seen. He NEVER goes up with any force. Just that Kobe-esque "EYYY" bullshit.

I dont remember him being this obnoxious in Utah.

Ah, maybe because they didn't get too many televised games.

That's just plain reratded. YOOO, EYYYY, FOULLL. What a douche.

[NewJerSpur]

Pacers aren't going to let Rose beat them....trap everytime he gets the ball.

[DPG21920]

Foster just making shots and dumping chumps

[NewJerSpur]

I dont remember him being this obnoxious in Utah.

Ah, maybe because they didn't get too many televised games.

That's just plain reratded. YOOO, EYYYY, FOULLL. What a douche.

He was actually equally as bad in Utah. Don't know how he was at Duke though.

[usdane]

Foster aka the Enforcer. Come into the paint I dare you!

[hitmanyr2k]

I dont remember him being this obnoxious in Utah.

Ah, maybe because they didn't get too many televised games.

That's just plain reratded. YOOO, EYYYY, FOULLL. What a douche.

Really? I've been doggin Boozer for the last few years about that shit. Then god played a sick joke on me and had the Bulls sign him. You have no idea the pain I felt that day.

[hitmanyr2k]

Foster aka the Enforcer. Come into the paint I dare you!

I think it's time to bring Kurt Thomas to play equalizer.

[LnGrrrR]

Both centers already at 4 fouls. Wonder how much defense the fourth quarter will have.

[NewJerSpur]

Stupid foul. Rose isn't making his threes and has barely hit the rim on most of them.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice execution, I thought that was going to be a turnover at some point. Good patience.

[NewJerSpur]

Dunleavy could only get away with that spin move on Kurt Thomas, lol.

[hitmanyr2k]

Deng is taking advantage of all that defensive attention on Rose. He's gonna have to be that 2nd scorer because Boozer is garbage.

[NewJerSpur]

Every game in this series has come down to the wire, I expect no less with this one. If the Pacers lose though, this series is over.

[4>0rings]

Pacers will find a way to lose the game in the last 4 minutes.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice defense by Price.

[dbestpro]

Chicago expects to be able to slap you without ever getting smacked back. Foster says different.

[Reck]

Nice defense by Price.

Congrats, 6k posts reached. lol

[4>0rings]

What is a 'Pacer'?

[NewJerSpur]

Congrats, 6k posts reached. lol

:lol

Took a lot of hard work, and a few cheapies.

:toast

[NewJerSpur]

What is a 'Pacer'?

Automobile.

[Nathan89]

Deng came in and he looked pissed. He is ready to takeover the game.

[dbestpro]

What is a 'Pacer'?

Refers to the pace car in the Indianapolis 500.

[4>0rings]

Automobile.I doubt they named their team after one of the worst cars ever made.

[NewJerSpur]

Rose needs to stop shooting from behind the arc and go back to getting 3's the old fashion way.

[hitmanyr2k]

Rose's shot selection is Kobe-esque tonight. That shot isn't going. You can get better than that.

[NewJerSpur]

Refers to the pace car in the Indianapolis 500.

Best explanation.

[NewJerSpur]

That chick is my kind of Bulls fan, lol.

[dbestpro]

Rose has great skills, but all of the bonus calls he gets is gonna put him on the top 10 hated list.

[hitmanyr2k]

That's better. Use that damn speed.

[NewJerSpur]

Pacers feeling the pressure.

[noles1983]

indiana curling up in fetal position again...like clockwork

[hitmanyr2k]

Kelso and Brewer have been great additions from the Jazz. Boozer...not so much.

[Reck]

Korver=Pacers killer.

[NewJerSpur]

So who is the go to guy in this situation for Indy:

Collison or Granger?

[PublicOption]

Indiana still not getting as many calls as the Bulls. The NBA is obvious.

[NewJerSpur]

Korver=Pacers killer.

^^

[noles1983]

korver lol

[dbestpro]

Hansbrough looks lost out there. I'd run Foster and McRoberts for their energy.

[hitmanyr2k]

Paxson 2.0.

[hitmanyr2k]

Hansbrough looks lost out there. I'd run Foster and McRoberts for their energy.

What? He's playing a decent game to me. A lot of hustle plays and he always kicks Boozer's ass.

[NewJerSpur]

Why double Boozer and leave Korver open?

[NewJerSpur]

Korver=unconscious

[hitmanyr2k]

Why double Boozer and leave Korver open?

I have no idea. Horrible doubleteams piss me off more than anything even when he benefits my team :lol

[NewJerSpur]

The first aggressive move Boozer's made in years, lol.

[NewJerSpur]

Collison should've kept driving to the basket.

[noles1983]

granger has the worst shot selection of any player i have seen

[NewJerSpur]

Rose getting bailed out for taking another bad shot trying to bury the dagger.

[hitmanyr2k]

This is one of those games I want to choke Rose. What the fuck with these threes? He can get to the rim at will.

[NewJerSpur]

Wonder if Romsey31's at the game?

[024]

lmao has rose even scored this quarter that wasn't a free throw?

[NewJerSpur]

This is one of those games I want to choke Rose. What the fuck with these threes? He can get to the rim at will.

Tony Parker's been doing the same thing to start this year's playoffs, maddening.

[4>0rings]

I really like to watch Rose play but god damn can there be one play where he isn't at the FT line?

[NewJerSpur]

Good defense by Deng on Granger with the ball denial.

[ace3g]

another big shot for Granger

[NewJerSpur]

Rose has either lossed it or he's gassed.

[NewJerSpur]

What a game.

[NewJerSpur]

Paul George is the unsung hero for Indy, that guy's all over the place.

[024]

rose is just getting exposed as a manufactured superstar. the dude can't score in the 4th without the refs helping him.

[noles1983]

these pacers look like they match up really well with the bulls. Like the pesky grizzlies with the spurs

[hitmanyr2k]

This game is on Rose if they lose. He's settling right now. He's barely working for a shot. The Bulls just may want to give him a screen every once in awhile though just so he doesn't have to create so much himself lol.

[4>0rings]

rose is just getting exposed as a manufactured superstar. the dude can't score in the 4th without the refs helping him.In any game, you cut his points in half and that's the amount he truely makes. 40 point game? He scored 20 legit....

[siraulo23]

let me guess, bulls will somehow get the stop
korver hits the three

game time

[mystargtr34]

Damn 3-17 for Rose.. but he has 20+ points :lol

[LnGrrrR]

I can't believe how wire to wire this game has been. What's the largest lead been? 5, 6 points?

[024]

i don't know why collison keeps handling the ball. he's absolutely been timid and has been dribbling left and passing it away all game. should actually give the ball to granger.

[usdane]

Come on now Indy. Don't piss another one away.

[NewJerSpur]

I can't believe how wire to wire this game has been. What's the largest lead been? 5, 6 points?

Good thing it's on NBA TV, :rolleyes.

I'm rooting for.......overtime, lol.

[ace3g]

Korver with the winning shot?

[NewJerSpur]

Wow.

[Budkin]

LOL layup

[hitmanyr2k]

Like there was ever any doubt. MF should have been doing that all game.

[LnGrrrR]

Good thing it's on NBA TV, :rolleyes.

I'm rooting for.......overtime, lol.

I'm definitely rooting for the Pacers. The more games the Bulls play, the better.

[4>0rings]

Pacers are the East version of the Nuggets. Fucking morons.

[hitmanyr2k]

Pacers are the East version of the Nuggets. Fucking morons.

They had 3 players on him and forced him to finish left. What the fuck more do you want them to do? :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Execution here.

[024]

some bad execution

[noles1983]

lmfao pacers are garbage, bulls luck out yet again

[NewJerSpur]

What a ridiculous shot.

[Budkin]

Terrible shot.

[siraulo23]

game

[LnGrrrR]

And just like that, the series is over.

[Reck]

Thank you for participating Pacers. Shut the lights out on this series.

[NewJerSpur]

A line drive fading to the left?

[hitmanyr2k]

No pleasure for the trolls once again :lol They were trying so hard last page too.

[Tinystarz]

And just like that, the series is over.

:tu

[noles1983]

cant wait to see the bulls lose when they actually play a team thats not retardedly anti clutch

[picc84]

Seems like Rose shoots 100% in crunchtime.

[NewJerSpur]

Great series, too bad it's going to end this weekend.

[ace3g]

Game 1: 5 pt victory

Game 2: 6 pt victory

Game 3: 4 pt victory

[DeadlyDynasty]

This is why the Pacers have the record they do...inability to close out games. They could be up 3-0 in this series if they weren't mentally weak

[NewJerSpur]

How much you want to bet game 4 ends in triple overtime, lol.

[Bill_Brasky]

Just retarded by the Pacers. They got swept but they made the Bulls look pretty vulnerable tbh.

Then again, that defense is something else.

[Cuckolded Sissy]

lol 4-18 MVP

[hitmanyr2k]

This is why the Pacers have the record they do...inability to close out games. They could be up 3-0 in this series if they weren't mentally weak

Don't discount great defense when it counts. The Bulls just know how to put the clamps on late. They've made many a team look "mentally weak" this season.

[LnGrrrR]

Seems like Rose shoots FTs 100% in crunchtime.

fify :lol

[Shane27]

what's gunna happen when the bulls play a good team

[Budkin]

lol 4-18 MVP

None of that matters when you win.

[hitmanyr2k]

lol 4-18 MVP

Scoreboard?

[Isitjustme?]

Rose was awful today, his fans were all butthurt about it on this other message board I was one. Instead of admitting he sucked they were rationalizing and back pedaling like crazy.

[mystargtr34]

There's something about this Bulls team that's just really annoying. Must be Noah and Boozer.. and Rose free throw parades every games.

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like Hibbert pulled up on that shotblock attempt on Rose gamewinner.

[hitmanyr2k]

Rose was awful today, his fans were all butthurt about it on this other message board I was one. Instead of admitting he sucked they were rationalizing and back pedaling like crazy.

Shiet. Rose played like a fuckin blockhead tonight. His shot selection was atrocious. He finally wised up in the end.

[noles1983]

this

I hate that Joke Noah fuck

It's Boozer...no doubt about it :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Orlando/Chi=great 2nd round series

Atlanta/Chi=sweep (for Chicago)

[Giuseppe]

Ln's Celtics will handle these fucks.

[hitmanyr2k]

Orlando/Chi=great 2nd round series

Atlanta/Chi=sweep (for Chicago)

I feel good about either series. Bulls strategy against Orlando would be to just let Dwight work to get his and shut down their 3 point shooters. That's how the Magic win games. Dwight may get epic numbers but shut down their shooters and they're toast.

[Nathan89]

Rose 4-18

Rose it's LIKE MIKE

Give credit where its due.

Joakim is a boss, one of my favorite players

If Turk keeps playing like hot garbage their current series may go seven. Dwight will foul your entire frontline out, but you've definitely got the defense to keep them from getting off 3's, which (even though I like him) is all guys like Ryan Anderson can contribute on offense. Rose won't make it all the way to the rim though, will have to dust off the floater.

[Reck]

I think the Bulls are just playing to the Pacers level. Once a good team comes along they'll just amp it up.

Against whichever team is next. I hope Bulls ain't thinking sweep on the next round though.

[tlongII]

Joakim is a boss, one of my favorite players

fuck boozer

Dude. Why do you use my avatar and sig? Whatsupwitdat?

[hitmanyr2k]

Rose won't make it all the way to the rim though, will have to dust off the floater.

The Bulls have the depth to handle Howard. They just need to make their fouls count and make sure he earns it at the line. That's another thing pissing me off about Rose. He's barely used that floater since the regular season ended. Someone needs to remind him of that shot.

[Killakobe81]

lol 4-18 MVP

sometimes all that matters is the 4 ...

People gonna hate but you have to respect a man that can brick all game ...and still take and make the game winner. Dude is Kobesque ...he even he forces shots like Kobe as well.
I dont care what Paul does against my Lakers, Rose best PG in the game and the MVP...

[Killakobe81]

I have no idea. Horrible doubleteams piss me off more than anything even when he benefits my team :lol

LOL I feel the same .. i wanna choke Fisher once or twice a game for the same reason ...

[Killakobe81]

One last point on Rose. I know plenty of teh stat heads will hate on Rose and im sure his clutch stats wont be pretty but 3 straight games he has made big shots, or the right pass to close out the Pacers.

Does he force some shots? Sure he does. But one thing some of the guys like
Henry Abbott and others who hate on Rose's MVP status dont get ... when you absolutely need a basket late you need the "alpha males" like: Kobe, Wade, Rose, Melo etc. Sure they will miss their share ...so did jordan. But when the defense is locked in and you try to run a play ....and the defense is good you need THAT guy that can take over. Even unselfish teams like the Spurs that share the ball, would not be elite without a Manu to take over late ...

[hitmanyr2k]

I don't mind Rose forcing shots as long as they're smart shots and puts pressure on the defense. Tonight he took dumb, lazy shots and didn't seem to want to work for his offense. Chucking threes and long twos is just letting the Pacer defense off the hook. He was sticking with the midrange game and attacking the basket in Games 1 and 2 so I don't know what the hell got into his head this game.

[Giuseppe]

Dude is Kobesque

Sans the 5 rings.
