Let's go, Bulls and Mavs! :houra
cant wish you luck tonite in the bulls game playing the dog here tonite, but bol in the dallas game..........ck
Rose has been guarding Jamal Crawford for nearly 23 minutes of this game. That's why I hate that the assumptions are always that positions guard positions. Rose has shut down Crawford when he's been on the floor, and only allowed 8 of Teague's points but people match up positions.This Jeff Teague character just may be as good as Kirk Hinrich offensively. I'm impressed with his willingness to shoot, his crisp passing, and his ability to drive to the basket. Mind you he's only being guarded by Derrick Rose.
They've played a damn good game tonight. Defensive minded teams rarely get the respect that offensive teams get because their wins are so much uglier. The Hawks hit a ton of contested shots in game 1 that they wouldn't hit over a series, and they distorted the view of the Bulls performance. Their defense has been great in thin series so far, and their offense will never be great because they only have 1 guy that can create his own shot - it's an alarming thing to me so don't think I'm discarding that problem. Defense is so good that they'll never be out of a basketball game.The Bulls may very well cover the spread tonight, but I have seen enough of them to see they are not playing their best ball and haven't yet this playoffs. It's disturbing to see a team play 7 playoff games and not put together a great game. Championship teams don't have droughts like this.
I think Lakers cover tonight - put a small recreational wager in on them.I will admit I have not been entirely focused on the snooze-fest that is Atlanta-Chicago. I was predominantly watching the Bruins take care of business against Philly, but from what I have seen Teague was being guarded by Rose. Either way, an impressive performance by Teague.
Anyone else notice the trend of home teams who lose game 1 of a series at home outright covering in game 2? I believe only Orlando has failed to do so. Lakers -7 fits the bill.
I was a huge advocate of the Steve Blake acquisition and thought it would be huge this post season. I have no fucking clue what he's doing right now... Keep the faith in you're shot man, you've hit some huge ones. Fuck!Steve Blake is garbage. WTF is he doing in the game? Put in Fisher!
Blake is a great defensive player though, I'll say that much. Not sure what the guys issues are tonight - my lord.And now Blake leaves Terry unguarded for a wide open three! Does Phil Jackson have money on the Mavs? GET THIS GUY OUT OF THE GAME!
I wouldn't dare say a Lakers game is over before the Mamba comes back in. No clue what he has in the tank right now - he's been playing conservatively all night.I'm feeling a Mavs/Heat Finals, rematch of 06..
Lakers season is on the line right here, down 10 with less than 10 mins left..
Yikes.... Scored 25 points in 33 minutes this year and had a great offensive year. Weird comment.Kobe is not what he used to be and no longer a top 5 player this series is over
