EC First Round: [#2] Boston Celtics (0) vs [#7] Chicago Bulls (0)

FT-I dont know why your saying Tyrus sucks. Sure if you pump fake you can probably get around him. But he came through with 2 huge blocks last night. 1 on Rondo, and one where Pierce almost wet him self. Tyrus is a flat out ATHLETE.

I gave you stats. Numbers. Numbers do not lie. 6 blocks, against KG or against Glenn Davis, does not lie. If you think 6 blocks, and 16 and 9, is bad play, then I dont know what to tell you. If you think 22 and 9 is bad play, then I dont know what to tell you. Take your "ugly play".. give me the numbers that add up to baskets.

I said bad POST play. What does 19ft jumpers and Davis getting points on too many jumpers have to do with the post play being good?

Brad Miller's 4 TOs dont necessarily translate into post play either.

I never directly said they did. You made the general statement that Miller played "solid". He did not. Accounting for >25% of yuor teams turnovers when you lose by 3 on a last second jumper is not "solid". It's called having a conversaion within a conversation.

Yeah, Vinny wont be happy with 4 TOs, but how can anyone possibly think 16 and 9 is poor play?

Because he helped piss away a game with his bad play.

Without Miller's contributions you guys arent in the game

I would say that without Millers contributions of TO's we win the game. So I guess I agree. Kind of.

. The most glaring example of post play was Noah missing the easy layup in the 4th Q, but theres also no denying how well he played in the 1st game.

Again, a few good putbacks don't over shadow two games of bad post play overall. You have absolute turds out there banging against eachother in the post. It's like herd ball in 3rd grade soccer. Sure some good shit happens every now and then but it look like chaos and is just bad play.

these guys arent the best off offensive players in the post, no doubt.. but especially for the caliber of players, they have stepped up to play well.

Ever thing that any good play they do have is because the guys on the other side suck too?

FT-I dont know why your saying Tyrus sucks. Sure if you pump fake you can probably get around him. But he came through with 2 huge blocks last night. 1 on Rondo, and one where Pierce almost wet him self. Tyrus is a flat out ATHLETE.

I'm saying Tyrus sucks as a basketball player. Sure Tyrus is a great athlete. I even said that. As a basketball player Tyrus is bad.

Let me guess, you were one of the fans that didn't want to trade for Amar'e at the expense of losing Tyrus?

 

[zack54attack]

Yes I wanted to keep Tyrus. But I also wanted Amare. Did you see what Tyrus did from January to March this season? He was playing out of his mind. Tyrus isnt a great basketball player. He's a good role player.

 

[FirstTimer]

Yes I wanted to keep Tyrus. But I also wanted Amare. Did you see what Tyrus did from January to March this season?

Did you see what Amar'e has done his entire career?

If we were offered a trade for Amar'e but Tyrus Thomas HAD to be part of the deal, would you have done it?

Neither game would've even been close if the refs were calling it straight, they give Boston every call, not just because it's in Boston, but because they are defending champs, the Bulls would win hands down with straight refs.

 

[MRN]

Don't take it the wrong way, I like the Celtics to, but these refs are horrible.

 

[zack54attack]

Exactly.

I mean I can think of 5 times the ref's have screwed the Bulls over. I hate blaming it on the refs, but I'm bias so here it goes.

-Paul Pierce losing the ball out of bounds, and they gave it back to Boston.
-Foul on Noah where he clearly had all ball on Big Baby.
-Ray Allen going over the back on Brad Miller and calling it a jump ball.
-Tech on Noah for walking towards Perkins.
-Calling a travel on Salmons as the Bulls were going in for a layup, then reversing the call.


Either way though I'm happy the Bulls at least got 1 game.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

There was a brutal non-call on Ray Allen's travel early in the game aswell. Seemed to be the shot that really got him going too. The refs do tend to give the calls to the established/respected players and teams tho, as I said in the chat a few times last nite.

 

[MRN]

both ways...yes.

Refs screwing over Chicago on every play? no.

If you are referring to me, I never said that they screwed us over every play, but I think everyone knows that the slobber all over Boston's knob.

 

[zack54attack]

This Pic cracks me up.....

"Yeah, that's right mother****ers! We just beat the 7th seed by a monstrous 3 points at home in a must win! Yeaaaah! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!"

 

[zack54attack]

lol why are the Bulls so great when you guys are talking them up, but when it comes to putting the Celtics down...they're just a lowly 7 seed?

I don't see the problem with celebrating a buzzerbeater, maybe that's just me though :shrug:

I guess UNC was in the wrong when they celebrating Lawson's buzzer beater against FSU? :S

Look at the .GIF.

That thug KG has the cockiest face on him right there. What a prick, talking shit to the Chicago bench the whole game, when they only won by 3.

 

[zack54attack]

I'm sure they said shit back. Im not denying that. But i could only imagine waht KG said.

I'm not knocking him at all. I just think its funny how he had a thug look on his face like he was going to do shit, when they just beat a # 7 seed at HOME by only 3. Congrats KG. ANYTHING IS POSSSSSSSSSSIBLE!!

 

[zack54attack]

Maybe I'm wrong. But thats a nasty look he is giving. A "Thug" type look.

 

[zack54attack]

Anbody know who Ronnie Fields is?

 

[zack54attack]

Yeah. Played for the Rockford Lightning (My City's CBA team) before we folded. Great player. He was supposed to be as good as KG in the NBA if not better, but ran into some problems.

50 inch Vertical leap....Damn.

 

[zack54attack]

The Bulls played horrible tonight....

UGGHHHHHH

 

[theMINI]

I'm late to the party but...
****************joking***************
Boston in 4!

 

[zack54attack]

BULLS!!!!!

 

[MRN]

Great game today, I really like what we do with Hinrich on the floor.

 

[zack54attack]

Man this sucks. O well.

It's been a great series so far. Man all the games have been exciting.

The refs blow though. Both teams have had terrible calls.
