the refs missed as many calls for the bulls as they had for the C's.

That perkins foul out call was not terrible. THAT IS A FUCKING FOUL. when van gundy complained about that call during the game, i wanted to muzzle his ass right there. and he's one of my favorite coaches and analysts so that should tell you something.

the scalabrine block wasn't a foul? really?

jesus man. you are complaining about the right calls imo. if you complain about the wrong calls, i'll co sign that shit.

Maybe you should bitch less about officiating and more about why Rivers didn't foul Salmons when he had the chance before Ben's 3 to tie it again? Or how about that horrible play he drew up at the end of the first OT that basically started with Rondo dribbling out the clock, taking two steps forward, and the shooting a brick? They got outplayed down the stretch because the Bulls were more aggressive while all Boston did was settle for jumpers. Just shut up.

I thought that the Davis charge call was a blocking foul, and the Scalabrine call should have been a charge

no complaints on Perk's 6th

the 1st half favored Chicago, the 2nd half Boston, overall didn't seem to unbalanced, just not consistent at all

hacked? dude just throws his arms in the air whenever someone goes for the ball...paul pierce is a bitch

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:00 pm

no, big baby definitely charged.

and scalabrine blocked.

it was pretty obvious imo....especially the big baby one.

eternalreflection · Post by **eternalreflection** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:01 pm

lol Orlando is just constant fail this series

Andre Miller has a flawless strategy, flail out of control and pray you get a foul call

daedal · Post by **daedal** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:17 pm

Damn, Hedo just hit a sick gamewinner.

Let's go Blazers! Roy's gotta come up big, but they need Outlaw to do something so bad, he's just been terrible this series.

You would think a "tough" Defensive team like Celtics that play as physical as they do, wouldn't complain about a team playing physical...especially when the Bulls are really not all that physical.

i thought the bulls were lucky. They should have won the game when Tyrus Thomas got the rebound at the end of regulation and then bewilderingly decided he was the best guy to dribble down the court and take the foul. ??? Then Ben Gordon just went out of his mind and played like he was Kobe making ridiculous shots he had no business hitting.

Turkalu was hard. Great shot.

Yao needs the ball.

This was the second classic game I missed due to work. WHAT THE FUCK

uh oh outlaw is warming up...

jamrage · Post by **jamrage** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 10:07 pm

lol @ Artest flexing.

The Rockets keep making me nervous. They'll go crazy on offense for a few possessions and then it's like they forget how to run a play and just dribble around for 20 seconds.

Portland is a gritty team that never seems to lose hope.

jamrage · Post by **jamrage** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 10:15 pm

Outlaw has decided to show up this game.

I love how the Rockets have been getting the ball to Yao a lot at the end of the second quarter. If Oden and Przybilla keep getting into foul trouble it's going to be a long game for them. Yao can dominate Aldridge in the paint.

So good to see Outlaw playing well tonight. They need someone else to take some of the pressure offa Roy.

Yao and Scola have been tearing it up for the Rockets.

i like that blazers are finally penetrating instead of relying on those mid-rangers

blazers d? or rockets bad o?

Way to end the quarter Outlaw!

Bit of both, but Blazers have been tearing up defensively on their run here at the end of the third.

Rockets need to suck it up for the fourth.

Losing this game would be a huge problem. If they win they'll take the series for sure.

aldridge needs 2 keep posting up, he's playing good but settling for jumpers 2 much

You pretty much summed up his career so far.

i think even if they lose this game they got the series, they're 2 good for the blazers

imagine if they had a healthy tmac, they would be a def title contender imo

also lol @ them getting out the 1st round (most likely) w/o him

I think T-Mac getting injured was the best thing to happen to the Rockets. I don't know about title contender - but they're a much better team without him.

Brougham33 · Post by **Brougham33** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 11:19 pm

One of the best and most frustrating Bulls games I've ever watched.
Oh, and Tyrus Thomas is the dumbest motherfucker on the planet.

without him though, ironically, you don't win game 1

i dont kno, it seems like it, with how good the team is, but i think they would be much better w/ him. hes a good passer/playmaker, scorer and defender, i just think it seemed like he made them worse this year because he was playing injured

we'll see next year (hopefully)

good rally by houston

Agreed. They were a mess with him in and out of the lineup. Once he left they got everyone on the same page and into their roles.

Blazers are a lot better team than I gave them credit for.

Shane Battier has been playing so well.

Another fantastic game.

They Lack that closer, Yao and Artest dont cut it. They dont have a true slasher that can get u that last second bucket or foul. I mean Von Wafer has stepped up big time with Tmac out, but u crazy if u think they would be better without Tmac than with him.

Oh yeah, Do yall see my nigga Brandon "The Natural" Roy. aint noone on the Rockets team that can see him.

smh artest trying his best 2 lose the game
