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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 got into his head this game.

Dude is Kobesque
