By the way, that was THE worst game I've ever seen, and sadly it's going to go down as a classic.

Every single Celtic failed except Ray Allen and Big Baby.

To me, the series has been closely contested and, at times, very well played, but most of the series has been one team fucking up or the other team fucking up (or the coaches fucking up). I was sure the Bulls would win after Noah's dunk...I was sure they would find a way to lose after Hinrich's layup miss (Rondo's hand in the basket BTW), then after Rose misses his FTs I thought the Celtics would still somehow win.

There were some really bad plays. Pierce obviously cannot go to his left, which the Bulls finally figured out near the end of the game. The Bulls possessions at the end of the overtimes were absurd. Rose's immediate foul at the end of one of the overtimes was retarded. Rondo should have to sit out Game 7 just for accumulated punking. LOL at the effort of trying to hurl Hinrich into the scorer's table....I guess thats somewhat original.

Not impressed with Del Negro's coaching at all. The Bulls have no half-court offense other than isolation, and they can't defend a pick-and-roll. Most of his timeouts have been completely unnecessary. Their best one-on-one defender (Thomas) basically sits out the entire 4th period every game.

LOL @ Everyone calling this a great series.

This has to be the sloppiest ball playing that I've ever seen. I'm sorry, I'm a Boston hater but...

Celts > Bulls

When you put the rosters together, without question. And too many inconsistencies from the Celts is letting the Bulls stay in the series. And Vinny Del Negro who is showing us he's the luckiest coach in the playoffs right now is letting Boston climb back into every game that the Bulls have had a chance to put away in this series.

This isn't good basketball, it's two of the better teams in the East playing sloppy ball against one another. If the Celtics bring their A game to this series, Bulls lose it in six. If the Bulls bring their A game against the Celtics, and Boston had played like this, Bulls win in six. I'm sorry but I can't watch two teams play C+ ball and call this "Teh greatOst seriz eva omgwtfbbq?". It's only good because C+ basketball versus C+ basketball, you'll get seven games out of it.

Have they been entertaining? Yes. Have they inspired a lot of good basketball discussion? Toss up. Has it been fundamental playoff basketball? Hell no.

Magic waiting in the second round, I would like to see boston lose to chicago, but I feel Boston/Orlando would be a much much better series then orlando/chicago

Not a chance. Their one good season matched our worst season in a while, and half our team including the league's MVP was injured. Glad Dolphins fans enjoyed watching that extra playoff game that went down as the most embarrassing playoff loss in some time, though. At least Patriots kept their dignity.

Best post in this whole thread. This is absolutely the worst/best playoff series I've ever seen. Last night was horrendous, and the only reason it went to triple OT was because neither team could execute properly.

I have no idea how the Celtics only lost by one. That's my solace for the night, as they should have lost by 15-20 the way they played. Ray Allen and Glen Davis were the only two who didn't suck huge dick.

Media and casual fans are all over it because games go to OT and the Bulls are hanging with the "defending champs".

lol @ these 14 year olds thinking I'm mad. When you guys grow up you'll see I'm just bashing you for fun, not because my life revolves around whether a brutal playing Celtics team can get past the first round and lose to the Magic or Cavs.

I've seen six championships in the past few years, so I have no reason to be upset when things even out. If you want to see mad, go read the Bulls' fans posts on Real GM after Rondo swiped Miller.

Plenty of threads if you want to read the lulz... but this one is the best:

KG yelling is mean!

I always get a kick out of seeing how dumb/serious some fans are about sports. You should have seen the San Diego Chargers forum after the Patriots stomped on their logo.

Best post from that thread:

Yeah, I'm tired of the celts playin' all ultra physical, ray allen pushing off gordon before running through every screen, Perkins being the dirty retarded douche he is, and their collective flop job, from Glen Davis to Rondo, especially Rondo...Start our bench warmers next game and just have them start the game with a huge fight and have them **** up as many of them as they can, especially Rondo perkins and KG. Make em fear the avalanche, Roberson's tats, and Linton's face.

Some thoughts on the game last night:

-Rondo has been acting like a punk the last two games. The trip on Hinrich, then the foul on Miller, and then last night. Not sure what's going on. Maybe he's reading his own press clippings and copping an attitude?

- Noah's dunk was sick.

-Derrick Rose needs to be as assertive as he was in every game. Make those FT's DROSE! Then again I'm sure fatigue was setting in so I won't get on him too much.

-Ben Gordon needs to play less. Allen eats him alive and gets rolling and frankly the Bulls play better this series when he isn't scoring as much.

-Salmons going at Pierce is great. Need to see more of that. IMO it wears PP down and he is less effective. PP looks to be showing some age, perhaps just not in great shape but when Salmons is making him play on the defensive end PP looks WAY less effective.

- Vinny's coaching still drives me insane. Why have Rose taking the ball out at the end of the 2nd OT? Why the constant use of timouts when you get down 2? Then the biggest thing, at the end of the 2nd nd 3rd OT just horrible management of the fould. Rose made a great block to save the Bulls in the 3rd OT but you save that foul with Rondo at midcourt and not even going to the bucket. You have to coach the guys when to foul and when not to.

At the end of the 2nd OT you have to tell your guys up 3 to foul before they can get a potential typing shot up. This always astounds me coaches don't tell guys to foulld when they are up 3 so they can just send the other team to the line. Calipari fucked it up last year in the NC game and Vinny almost cost the Bulls the game last night by not using simple strategy.

 

[Len B]

FT, would you admit this has been a horrendously coached/played series in terms of execution?

 

[Len B]

Hirnich is classy...

"He just grabbed my arm and threw me away,'' said Hinrich, who got a technical foul for shoving back. And for the record, Hinrich said he didn't think Rondo should have been ejected.

I said that pages ago, especially in terms of post play, and had a bunch of people jump all over me. Ha.

you are obviously getting mad if you look at ford2021's user bar and bash every team on there, claiming every team you like is better then every team he likes. Then you call a complete stranger a 14 year old, something I expect a 14 year old to do to make himself feel like a tough guy on the internet. If that is your idea of fun, I assume you don't get out much.Typical boston fan, no worries, have fun rooting for your team the rest of the playoffs, god knows they don't have a shot the way they are playing

GO CELTS!!!!

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

I said it last nite in chat.. and im sticking by it. This is easily the dumbest player and coaching of any playoff series ive ever seen in my life. The reason its been so great is because both teams have showed an extreme inability to close out games because of simply moronic play and coaching. Its unreal had brutally bad some of the play has been. Worst "classic" series in sports history.
