Postgame callers:

1. "Sorry, was getting some ice cream. Yeah, I think we need to take one of those guys out, like Rondo, just take him out".

2. "Why not switch up and put one of our shotblockers, Tyrus or Noah on Pierce after he's made those 2 shots, they were just doing an isolation play on him, why not make it harder for him to shoot over the guy".

I liked one of those 2 suggestions.

Lucked out? Awful shots? They were jumpshots from the free throw line in isolation.....with no help......no doubleteam.......just here ya go, shoot jumpers from the free throw line, hopefully you'll miss one of these times.

horrible horrible horrible coaching.

When we isolate Gordon, does he wind up with 1 guy giving him space, or do they send people at him to make the shot harder.

They are. They are fadeaways, I don't care if that's his shot, that's a bad "Go To" shot. The thing that bothers me is Salmons not reading that move, it's not a Ben Gordon move where he does 50,000 crossovers, it's a side step into a fadeaway. If your not going to block his shot how bout face guarding his eyes. I think he should have put Kirk on Pierce because he guarded him tough in the last game.

The series comes down to one thing and one thing only.

Rose's defense on Rondo. He's one of the worst defensive rookies in the league. He'll hopefully learn in time but he hasn't done one thing to make it difficult for Rondo. I'm pretty sure Rondo hasn't had more than 5 or 6 turnovers in this series. Rose has over 20. If that continues in the next game or two, it's going to be awful tough to win.

From now on, you should wait 24 hours after every game to make posts. Pierce is not lucky. He's a freaking all-star. He's clutch. And he's an NBA Finals MVP. That's their go-to guy and to call it a bad "go to" shot is retarded. If he makes it and makes it consistently, let him take it.

This isn't about Rose's defense on Rondo, it's about our defense as a whole. We're not adjusting to any of the screens, we're not helping out on defense, and when we do, we don't rotate quickly enough to get to the shooter. This team is young, and they get ahead of themselves, which is precisely why we need an experienced coach. VDN has made a lot of mistakes and I hope he's learning quickly. Part of me wants him gone and for us to bring in Thibedeau, but the other part of me wants to keep him around and let him grow as a coach.

This series is frustrating because it SHOULD be over right now with the Bulls winning, but we're choking it away down the stretch. If anything, WE'RE the lucky ones because of Gordon's miraculous shots and not Boston. We're facing elimination now and we need to play with some intensity and desperation in game 6 at home.

Way to go.

hard fought game by the bulls, the refs had alot to do with the outcome. should have been a flagrant on the last play...2 shots and the ball. lets go back to chicago and tie this up and shut tony allen and KG up.

KG is such a little b.itch

I've lost a lot of respect for Kevin Garnett.

lol. maybe that's payback for the time vinny hollared in that one dude ear while he was shooting a three

The ball was no where near his mouth, so I don't know how that is not called a Flagrant. It should not have came to that though. The Bulls had built a double digit lead, and let it slip away with some bad defense.

BTW, I hate KG. That whole Boston team is pretty annoying.

i have too, i used to not have a problem with him but didnt like him either now i just hate him. if you arnt playing then you shouldnt be running your mouth. tony allen too, he didnt play good D on BG he just missed.

He better shut up too because he's in pretty deep trouble with some Chicago gangs I hear.

i thought that was tony allen?

Rondo's foul was a flagrant and we got robbed. Miller still could have made the free throws but he wouldnt even have been there if the play was called the way it should have been. Looking at the replays and knowing that the refs reviewed it the officials in this game were so biased towards the Celtics I wanted to puke. We need revenge tonight to literally get the bad taste out of Brad Miller's mouth and the mouth of every Bulls fan.
