CHI vs. ATL GM 5 Sponsored by "1 on 5"

[NewJerSpur]

Rose and the Hawks both have a tendency to go this route on offense....first one that gets help from others/moves the ball wins. :corn:

[Spur-Addict]

This one has a better title.

[hitmanyr2k]

Boozer guaranteed a win tonight...scary.

[NewJerSpur]

I'm cool either way my man......we can always flip the virtual coin if you like as well, lol.

[Bill_Brasky]

So how bad a game do you guys think Boozer'll have?

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer guaranteed a win tonight...scary.

LOL, he's going to yell at his teammates to get it done.

[Spur-Addict]

Boozer guaranteed a win tonight...scary.

Of all people right? :lol


I'm cool either way my man......we can always flip the virtual coin if you like as well, lol.

Not that serious :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

2 quick fouls by the Bulls, rofl

[NewJerSpur]

Josh Smith with the hook no call.

[Bill_Brasky]

So the most consistent Bull of the series shows up early. Good sign for them.

[hitmanyr2k]

So how bad a game do you guys think Boozer'll have?

I don't expect shit from Boozer tonight. Luol Deng is the guy who has to show up and be that 2nd scorer.

[Bill_Brasky]

Deng! I like the way this guy plays.

[NewJerSpur]

Hell of a pass by Noah, don't know why the Hawks didn't cut off the baseline.

[NewJerSpur]

Atlanta throwing the double teams at Rose he saw against the Pacers after realizing no one can hold him one-on-one.

[hitmanyr2k]

Yep...typical Boozer. Nice pass from Rose and he blows the layup. I expect nothing less.

[Bill_Brasky]

Rose, puts it in! haha

[NewJerSpur]

So how bad a game do you guys think Boozer'll have?

Got to see if the "turf toe" holds him back. :rolleyes

[BanditHiro]

game over bulls win

[hitmanyr2k]

Deng! I like the way this guy plays.

I love his defense. I like his jumpshooting. The only thing I don't like about his game is when he goes to the rim he'll rarely go for a strong finish. He fades and tries to avoid contact.

[Bill_Brasky]

I love his defense. I like his jumpshooting. The only thing I don't like about his game is when he goes to the rim he'll rarely go for a strong finish. He fades and tries to avoid contact.

True. Never finished with a good dunk in traffic.

[NewJerSpur]

Some good aggressive defense on Deng by Smith.

[NewJerSpur]

Horford hasn't been as visible in this series as he was in the 1st round, but then again, when your wings are dominating the ball......

[Bill_Brasky]

Boozer, already a liability out there.

[hitmanyr2k]

Horford hasn't been as visible in this series as he was in the 1st round, but then again, when your wings are dominating the ball......

Horford was the guy who scared me in this series. He usually gets up for his matchup with Noah.

[Bill_Brasky]

Josh Smith is a fuckin beast.

[Spur-Addict]

Damn, he didn't even bother with the jumper and just smashed on Deng

[LakerHater]

Whata move!!

[Bill_Brasky]

Noah the PG!

[NewJerSpur]

Nice screen by Deng to free up Boozer for the dunk.

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer with the pushoff on Smith to get the shot off....Smith thinking less, executing more in the paint.

[hitmanyr2k]

Josh Smith is going to work. He's certainly wised up on the offensive end....no so much on the defensive end.

[LakerHater]

Bulls hav no answer for Smith!

[Spur-Addict]

Big foul call there on Smith

[Bill_Brasky]

Beautiful footwork on a really good defender.

[hitmanyr2k]

I didn't think Derrick Rose was making that layup :lol Looked like he was gonna get caught under the backboard.

[Spur-Addict]

Can't give up O boards after good defensive sequences

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, almost forgot Rose had those 2 ankle injuries early in the playoffs, lol.

[Bill_Brasky]

Rose is so fuckin agile!

And god fucking damnit Bogans, why couldn't you do that shit for us?

[Spur-Addict]

Bogans!!

[hitmanyr2k]

Centerpiece!!!....sorry Spurs fans lol.

[ogait]

Wow Bogans without hesitation

[Spur-Addict]

Chicago looking a lot like Memphis in the first from yesterdays game.

[hitmanyr2k]

And god fucking damnit Bogans, why couldn't you do that shit for us?

He was complete shit for the first 2-3 months of the season and then something clicked and he's been solid ever since.

[NewJerSpur]

Bulls off to a great start, Smith's foul trouble may come back to hurt the Hawks if Chicago keeps pushing the ball......he's really the best defender they have at the rim, even over Horford imo.

[hitmanyr2k]

Bulls off to a great start, Smith's foul trouble may come back to hurt the Hawks if Chicago keeps pushing the ball......he's really the best defender they have at the rim, even over Horford imo.

Smith is a great defender on the break too. He's blocked more than a few of Rose's layups in transition.

[NewJerSpur]

Bogans doing work!!

[hitmanyr2k]

Bogans MVP :lol

[BanditHiro]

jesus fucking christ bogans

[Spur-Addict]

Not looking good for ATL if Bogans is going off LOL

[hitmanyr2k]

Noah's passing is fuckin nice tonight.

[Spur-Addict]

That's good D. Don't know what Rose is complaining about

[hitmanyr2k]

Goddamn...Horford fouled the shit out of Rose before the block.

[ogait]

Bulls haven't gone to his bench yet. Let's see what they're going to get from them today.

[NewJerSpur]

Smith is a great defender on the break too. He's blocked more than a few of Rose's layups in transition.

I still criticize him on offense because his handles are still shaky but it's easier to break a PF/C down off the dribble than it is a quick wing guy, and the bigs normally defend him because of his size.....but as you pointed out, dude doesn't take plays off on defense and almost ALWAYS gets back in transition. His decisions in transition on offense are actually better than they are in halfcourt I think.

[NewJerSpur]

And I like Deng a lot, but why wasn't he this aggressive in Game 4 down the stretch? Chicago could've used him on offense to give Rose a breather.

[hitmanyr2k]

Bulls haven't gone to his bench yet. Let's see what they're going to get from them today.

Korver and Taj have to be on...Korver especially. They run the most plays for him when he comes off the bench. The Hawks did a great job of jamming him when they tried to run him off screens.

[Spur-Addict]

I really like Asik. Taj needs to polish his face up game.

[BanditHiro]

why does asik look different in real life as compare to nba 2k11

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon Taj...you gotta put that down.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice job by Asik of getting back in the picture after Crawford's crossover. Game is still a few circus shots from Atlanta of being back in the balance.

[hitmanyr2k]

Risky play with Smith going for the charge but good call.

[Spur-Addict]

There was no need for that CJ

[NewJerSpur]

Atlanta can't miss those shots at home....nice bank by Watson.

[hitmanyr2k]

Watson is making me hold my breath lol.

[ogait]

This line up is really limited on offense except Luol, but they really compete on defense.

Asik really does his job well on defense, Thib trusts him. A shame Pop needed to have his back against the wall to do the same with Splitter.

[NewJerSpur]

Zaza getting in some good minutes for the first time this series on offense.

[hitmanyr2k]

This line up is really limited on offense except Luol, but they really compete on defense.

Asik really does his job well on defense, Thib trusts him. A shame Pop needed to have his back against the wall to do the same with Splitter.

Asik was another guy who was horrible to start the season like Bogans. I called him Will Perdue Jr. Thibs gave him consistent minutes and these days I'd rather have Asik on the floor than Boozer. He doesn't put up any numbers but he's very good defensively.

[NewJerSpur]

Korver isn't out there to guard anyone Steve, he's out there to make jumpers.....can't hide on defense in the playoffs, just got to hope you get good help.

[Spur-Addict]

Zaza just fouled Boozer

[hitmanyr2k]

I fuckin HATE Carlos Boozer. WORTHLESS on both ends.

[hitmanyr2k]

Zaza just fouled Boozer

Maybe a good knot on the head will wake him up :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer & Bosh the last remaining bigs in the soft tournament with Pau getting eliminated, lol.

We have a game.

[Spur-Addict]

Maybe a good knot on the head will wake him up :lol

You are talking about Boozer, RIGHT? :lol J/K

[hitmanyr2k]

Holy shit!! Boozer finished strong. The world is gonna end.

[NewJerSpur]

Maybe a good knot on the head will wake him up :lol

The blood has brought out the "warrior" in him. :lol

[Spur-Addict]

Maybe a good knot on the head will wake him up :lol

Uh Oh, dunk by Booze

[Spur-Addict]

Boozer with, "The Rock" head shake LOL

[LakerHater]

Whoaaaaa

[hitmanyr2k]

Rose is being very physical in the paint. He plays more like a PF than Boozer.

[NewJerSpur]

LOL @ Kerr comparing Steve Nash's importance to the Suns to Boozer's role with the Bulls.

Zaza about to break out his inner Olajuwon with the headfake.

[LakerHater]

Whos the white kid talkin to Pippen?

[Spur-Addict]

The "That's Amazing" guy is high on PCP

[Jodelo]

Rose just made a layup and the announcers are jizzing all over it, just a layup!

[hitmanyr2k]

Rose just made a layup and the announcers are jizzing all over it, just a layup!

It's how he made the layup. He really had no angle down there. I thought he was gonna get swatted by Josh Smith to be honest.

[NewJerSpur]

Rose just made a layup and the announcers are jizzing all over it, just a layup!

Nothing compared to Doug Collins' love affair with Shaq in the NBC days. Everything Shaq did had never been done before, or shouldn't have be done for a guy his size including walking, running, jumping and the like.

[NewJerSpur]

Good foul by Johnson.

[hitmanyr2k]

I didn't like the shot by Rose there. He got fouled but he has an on-fire Bogans in the corner. Gotta get him that shot.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Bulls need to attack Smith...he has 2 fouls. He's making a huge difference out there with the hustle plays.

[Spur-Addict]

If the Bulls go on a run before the Hawks, this game will be over. It just seems like ATL is hanging on barely.

[NewJerSpur]

When the hawks move the ball, they're a completely different team.....always a beautiful thing when guys move without the ball, unfortunately for them the iso-ball creeps back in too often in big spots.

[ogait]

Zaza the improbable leading scorer for Atlanta. But Chicago has manage to neutralize both Johnson and Crawford. Should win easy if it continues.

[Spur-Addict]

Smith for three LOL

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon Deng...put some pressure on Smith and take it to the rim.

[Spur-Addict]

Stupid foul. You have no shot at that block

[NewJerSpur]

Interesting that the Hawks were going small at the opening of the series, somewhat due to foul trouble and they were getting murdered on the glass.....now they're keeping Zaza in for extended minutes along with Smith and Horford.

[NewJerSpur]

Smith for three LOL

He'll never learn, and that's why they leave him open, lol.

[hitmanyr2k]

Great ball movement by the Hawks. Gotta like how they're cutting to the rim. The Bulls were doing the same earlier but have now stopped.

[Spur-Addict]

Nice drive and dish from Noah

[BanditHiro]

.4

[Spur-Addict]

Tired of seeing .4 this playoff season

[hitmanyr2k]

Man just end the fuckin half.

[NewJerSpur]

2nd half is going to boil down to:

-Will the Hawks continue to move the ball/move without the ball more than they go iso?

-Who ELSE is going to show up to the dance late in the game for Chicago.......outside of
Rose?

May the best (opponent for Miami) team win.

[LakerHater]

a magic show???

[hitmanyr2k]

Kenny :lol :lol :lol

[Banzai]

lmao....halftime..show

[Pistons < Spurs]

Hilarious!!!

[lefty]

Kenny with the heart attack :lmao

[hitmanyr2k]

I wonder if Kenny knew that was coming. He didn't flinch.

[LakerHater]

I woulda rather seen The IncrediBULLS perform!!

[NewJerSpur]

Chuck just had a freudian slip of the tongue....he said, "When you're on the road, you have to weather the Stern, I mean storm."

:stirpot:

[TE]

Chuck just had a freudian slip of the tongue....he said, "When you're on the road, you have to weather the Stern, I mean storm."

:stirpot:

I noticed that too. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Whoever wins this game SHOULD win the series I think. Game on.

[hitmanyr2k]

Whoever wins this game SHOULD win the series I think. Game on.

No matter who wins this game I wouldn't be surprised to see this series go 7.

[NewJerSpur]

One bad 3-point chuck for another.

[hitmanyr2k]

How does Boozer miss those fuckin shots so close to the rim? That wasn't even close.

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow...Bogans has no hesitation tonight.

[NewJerSpur]

No matter who wins this game I wouldn't be surprised to see this series go 7.

I can see it, tough prospect for your boys to go down to ATL and get it back to Chi-town after a loss here though, with the crazy shots they're able to make in their house.

My boy Bogans.

[NewJerSpur]

Johnson making the terrible angle look good.

[hitmanyr2k]

That's some bullshit defense in the paint to start this half.

[lefty]

Teague!

[Banzai]

I'd like to see the Bulls lose..but then if Atlanta wins..Miami will most likely steam roll them.

[hitmanyr2k]

Make your free throws boy.

[NewJerSpur]

Deng didn't even bother to throw Boozer the ball in the post, guess he was a decoy on that play, LOL.

[lefty]

I think I just spotted Bruce Drew

[hitmanyr2k]

Boozer gets one on one and dances around and then passes it out. He's supposed to take that fuckin shot.

[lefty]

I'd like to see the Bulls lose..but then if Atlanta wins..Miami will most likely steam roll them.

Same here

[NewJerSpur]

In all seriousness, Boozer HAS to do more with the ball on the block with Collins on him who isn't exactly the quickest guy out there.

[ogait]

About time Boozer does something

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer gets one on one and dances around and then passes it out. He's supposed to take that fuckin shot.

Beat me to it.

[Caeman]

ATL straight up getting f*cked by the refs tonight.

[NewJerSpur]

Teague carried....twice.

[lefty]

Omfg teague

[Spur-Addict]

LOL Joe Johnson

[LakerHater]

Awe shit, here we go!!

[redzero]

Josh Smith is so level-headed.

[Spur-Addict]

Boozer would've got clocked.

[BanditHiro]

wow boozer is such a piece of crap

[NewJerSpur]

Josh Smith losing his cool with his team gaining momentum=loss

[hitmanyr2k]

Boozer would've got clocked.

He's already gotten clocked tonight :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer would've got clocked.

"Hold me back somebody, HOLD.....ME.......BACK!!"

[ogait]

Boozer wastes all his energies in all the stupid things like celebrating dunks and being butthurt when others dunk.

[Caeman]

Boozer looked scurrred...

[hitmanyr2k]

Boozer unaggressive. Noah unaggressive. Rose is gonna have to go into chuck mode. Deng needs to wake up.

[NewJerSpur]

Smith with the ill-advised dribble-spin-shot.

[hitmanyr2k]

Smith with the ill-advised dribble-spin-shot.

Maybe the confrontation with Boozer will bring back the old Josh Smith :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Maybe the confrontation with Boozer will bring back the old Josh Smith :lol

:lmao

[Spur-Addict]

Smith with the ill-advised dribble-spin-shot.

He thinks he earns it with good play. "Well, i've converted a few interior shots, and i've played good D. It's time for a jumpshot"

[Spur-Addict]

Grown man move by Smith

[LakerHater]

Hawks lead!

[BanditHiro]

man the bulls are playing like they do on My Player

[NewJerSpur]

He thinks he earns it with good play. "Well, i've converted a few interior shots, and i've played good D. It's time for a jumpshot"

You'd think he'd get the hint that if no one is going to even come within arms reach to even put a hand in your face, you don't have a jumper anyone respects.....and as I type that he hits one. :lol

[Spur-Addict]

Bailout call for Deng

[NewJerSpur]

Will Rose get a breather in the 4th with the struggles the Bulls are having on offense? Season might be on the line here.

[hitmanyr2k]

Larsa Pippen is....damn lol.

[Spur-Addict]

Pippens wife....Yeah buddy

[Spur-Addict]

Larsa Pippen is....damn lol.

Yes!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Zaza looking like a young Big Z out there (back when the Cavs wore the blue jerseys).

[Spur-Addict]

Nice dish by Taj. Bad call on Smith for his fourth

[Frenzy]

Larsa Pippen is....damn lol.

Keep Ur eye on the prize.

[hitmanyr2k]

Keep Ur eye on the prize.

She's certainly a prize. I was feeling disgusted until the camera went on her.

[NewJerSpur]

And so it comes down to this......overtime anyone? :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Teague is playing the game of his life. Rose gets no rest this quarter.

[Spur-Addict]

WOw, Teague. And the answer from Rose

[NewJerSpur]

Wow.

[Red Hawk #21]

Let's get a stop...

[baseline bum]

She's certainly a prize. I was feeling disgusted until the camera went on her.

Scottie's doesn't have any money; what's she doing with him?

[NewJerSpur]

Rose settling for outside shots again.

[hitmanyr2k]

And so it comes down to this......overtime anyone? :lol

No way. I'm already on fumes from last night :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Let's get a stop...

Welcome sir. :toast

[baseline bum]

JJ, you ain't Greivis Vasquez.

[BanditHiro]

jesus why the hell was josh smith trying to be a point guard

[hitmanyr2k]

Asik's defense is AWESOME!! He covered the whole floor on that play.

[Spur-Addict]

Good decision to pull it out by Rose. Too bad he couldn't finish. And 1 Taj

[NewJerSpur]

Gibson with the lefthand finish, Rose dishing the ball off penetration =win

[Red Hawk #21]

We need to get our offense started earlier, and get a few stops and then we can make something happen.

[hitmanyr2k]

Gibson with the lefthand finish, Rose dishing the ball off penetration =win

If they're gonna keep putting 2-3 guys on him someone just has to cut to the rim and finish strong.

[NewJerSpur]

If they're gonna keep putting 2-3 guys on him someone just has to cut to the rim and finish strong.

Agreed, he puts on a show but his teammates are paid to stand around and watch.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Hawks are back to one on one ball.

[NewJerSpur]

Horford with the crossover=loss

[Spur-Addict]

Asik with A+ post defense on Horford.

[ogait]

Asik all over the place

[hitmanyr2k]

If I'm Thibs Asik plays the rest of the game. Keep Boozer glued to the bench.

[Spur-Addict]

Asik with the help side block

[NewJerSpur]

Good save by Josh on that and-1. Atlanta's offense starting to look suspect again and the Bulls are swarming to the ball.

[rayjayjohnson]

damn teague is an alien looking muthafucka

[Red Hawk #21]

I like that we're posting up Smoove.

[hitmanyr2k]

I wanted to see a replay on that. Fuckin TNT.

[rayjayjohnson]

boozer needs some proactiv.

durrant looking mofo

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks going small again and getting killed on the boards.

[hitmanyr2k]

Goddamn Josh :lol :lol Hakeem-esque

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuck that wasn't goaltending.

[Tinystarz]

dam u hawks d fuk

[ogait]

Nice effort J Smith.

[hitmanyr2k]

There you go Rose. Stay on the attack. They can't check you.

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuck fuckity fuckersh

[rayjayjohnson]

say what you will, when j smooth gets moving...

[NewJerSpur]

Didn't see a foul on Horford, but that was a nice/aggressive move by Rose.

[lefty]

BS call

[rayjayjohnson]

rose deserved mvp. fuck all the haterz.

[Red Hawk #21]

Just PASS. *sighs*

[Spur-Addict]

If Chi scores after the break, it's over.

[hitmanyr2k]

Didn't see a foul on Horford, but that was a nice/aggressive move by Rose.

Horford has been mugging the hell out of him all night with that forearm. Everytime Rose drives Horford's forearm is resting on his shoulder.

[Capt Bringdown]

Ball game

[NewJerSpur]

Deng getting up nice and tight on Johnson taking away the momentum killing 3 and making the TO happen.

[NewcastleKEG]

Asik all over the place
Guy we wouldn't deal for Courtney Lee

[hitmanyr2k]

Keep Boozer glued to the bench and the Bulls should win...just like Game 3. Fuck his ego and his big contract.

[Red Hawk #21]

Gracias Teague :downspin:

[NewJerSpur]

Teague's brother has hops.

[hitmanyr2k]

I just realized Korver has seen no minutes down the stretch here. Thibs is going with all defense.

[Red Hawk #21]

Yes...

[Spur-Addict]

Taj with the nice fake

[NewJerSpur]

Gibson chhanneling his inner Olajuwon.

[hitmanyr2k]

Thank you Taj. That's why Boozer is on the bench. He can't make moves like that.

[redzero]

That looked like a foul.

[NewJerSpur]

Atlanta stopped trapping Rose uptop and he's making them pay.

[Spur-Addict]

Game

[Banzai]

o v e r.

[hitmanyr2k]

That's right Boozer...play highest paid cheerleader bitch!!

[NewJerSpur]

Thank you Taj. That's why Boozer is on the bench. He can't make moves like that.

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuck.

[LakerHater]

Gonna be tuff for Hawks to come back!

[Spur-Addict]

LOL Boozer

[Spurs da champs]

Dont even bother breathing on Rose.

[ogait]

Taj and Asik effort on the defense has been making all the difference.

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer channeling his inner Cliff Livingston towel wave on the bench.

[ogait]

Atlanta stopped trapping Rose uptop and he's making them pay.

Yup, and it's weird because with that lineup the Bulls don't have anyone worth guarding besides Deng.

[hitmanyr2k]

Taj and Asik effort on the defense has been making all the difference.

Noah and Boozer pissed Thibs off with their indecisiveness on offense. They haven't seen the court since :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

The old Josh Smith is back!!

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuck you taj gibson

[Spur-Addict]

Taj is killin it

[silverblk mystix]

Disgusting how many calls Rose gets...

[hitmanyr2k]

Cmon Rose...you don't need that fuckin shot.

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks chucking up bull, Bulls executing on offense.....outside of that Rose chuck.

[Red Hawk #21]

Nice Fadeaway 3 there JJ

[Tinystarz]

One more.

[NewJerSpur]

Taj Gibson=4th quarter MVP

He moved well without the ball, got some key rebounds and some very key scores.

[dallaskd]

got a lot of respect for rose. dude gets to the line like no other but you never see him flop

[Tinystarz]

Fuck you taj gibson



http://i51.tinypic.com/2expmo1.gif

[hitmanyr2k]

Hawks have given up. Their body language...their concentration. That sucks with over a minute left. The Grizzlies wouldn't have given up.

[hitmanyr2k]

http://i51.tinypic.com/2expmo1.gif

:lol :lol :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Boozer might not ever see meaningful 4th quarter minutes in these playoffs again at this rate, lol.

[silverblk mystix]

got a lot of respect for rose. dude gets to the line like no other but you never see him flop

He doesn't havta flop...the refs got his back no matter what.

[Spur-Addict]

All Taj has to do is go back to NYC this summer and work on that face up game.

[Spur-Addict]

9 Assists

[NewJerSpur]

All Taj has to do is go back to NYC this summer and work on that face up game.

:tu

Kid has the makings.

[ogait]

Good win Bulls.

Asik played what .. the entire 4th quarter. Watch and learn Pop.

[Frenzy]

http://i51.tinypic.com/2expmo1.gif

:lol



But now you show up huh..:rolleyes

[Red Hawk #21]

Wow, The Bulls Defense is good but 75% of the time it's us just taking bad shots and playing into their hands. Darn, this sucks...

[hitmanyr2k]

Good win Bulls.

Asik played what .. the entire 4th quarter. Watch and learn Pop.


:toast That's why he's coach of the year. He saw the weakness and said fuck'em.

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks can still push it to 7, but that would be a TOUGH Game 7 with the way they execute down the stretch. How bad do the Bulls want it in Game 6?
