No, bob...that wasn't the Bulls playing at their highest level. We've played at our highest level against the Spurs, the Celtics, the Heat...teams that have a legitimate chance of winning the title this year. That's when our defense clamps down and D-Rose does work on offense.

Could the Bulls just be overlooking the Pacers and have a chance of being upset? Yup, absolutely...maybe a 5-10% chance. But a 33% chance of winning the series? I don't think they have a 33% chance of winning in every game.

If Noah was his normal self you guys proably win that game. He played really sluggish that game due to the flu. Then add Boozer geesh we are in trouble.

You're like Derrick Rose, you're too modest. :bow:

DR is not modest I have a friend who played with D rose growing up a lot he is a cocky **** on the court. But that is a good thing he is confident in his ablity and I like guys who have that cocky swag (if they can back it up). He seems like he is maturing very well and seems to be a really good person.

I am a Pacers fan who will say Hansbrough is the biggest vagina in the world. That is because I am also a Duke fan.

that being said......... i still say 30-33% chance of an upset. Pacers are not the matchup the Bulls want.

Who do you think the Bulls would rather have? The Knicks?

Who on Indiana can guard Rose when he wants to take over?

I'd give the Pacers 0.0001% at winning the series

0.001% at winning 3 games

5% at winning 2 games

50% at winning 1 game

44.9% at getting swept

For the Pacers to have a 33% chance of winning the series that implies a ~42% chance of winning any particular game. Given the differential between the two team's margins of victory is ~8.3, which implies the Pacers have a ~23% chance to win any particular game and hence a 5% chance of winning the series, you must think it's a REALLY bad matchup for the Bulls to be at risk of losing.

I think it means modest when talking about his talents, not how he plays on the court. On & off the court definitions of modest are 100% different.

Hibbert is a low-post scorer which is not the best guy for Noah to guard. Hibbert will slow Boozer down as well. Granger is the better SF between him and Deng. The Pacers have a lot more scoring ability at the SG position and have a very underrated PG in Collison.

But the problem is that the Bulls' 2nd unit is probably nearly as good as the Pacers' starters.

The knicks who are worse with Mello? Yeah, why not.

Dahanty Jones is sitting on the bench, he is one of the best 1-3 on ball defenders in the entire league.

And Rondo is considered one of the best PG defenders in the league. Rose just destroyed him.

Thats are problem Darren Collison is a liablity out ther on defense. Plus when Drose plays playoff defense it will make life tuff for Darren. We will proably start Paul George on him and he will get 2 fouls quick because he plays like a rookie still. B rush or Dantay Jones is our best option and will do as good as any1 at guarding him maybe in the NBA(Rush is a great defender). He will still get his with Rush on him but Rush will make him work hard for it. We should put Collison on Bogans and that should help us with guarding Rose.


This would be my plan but Vogel will proably just have Collison guard him.

My friend said he was a cocky as **** off the court. But I really dont blame him he has been told he is the man his whole life so why not be. He certinly seems humble in interviews but i dont put much stock in thoes.

homer of the year

Asik and/or Thomas isn't as good as Hibbert but there's not that big of a difference.

Taj Gibson is better than Tyler Hansbrough

Kyle Korver gets killed by Danny Granger

Ronnie Brewer is a little better overall than Paul George

C.J. Watson isn't that far off from Darren Collison.

I stand by my statement that there is not that big of a difference.

That bold is just down right not true.

I think Collison is overrated the guy plays no defense and isnt a good floor general he has tunnel vision if he isnt playing in his PnR offense. He is TJ Ford with a jump shot. I am still shitty we passed on Jrue Holiday that guy is a defensive stud at pg.

The defense the Bulls 2nd unit brings is enough to say that they can compete with the Pacers' starters. I still say Collison is underrated because you never hear his name on a national level but I will grant you that he can't guard any of the elite PGs.

Ronnie Brewer isnt better than Paul. Paul isnt great right now but he has star poetinal and is already a solid player. He is still a project of sorts a few years away but he has star type talent.


Korver gets killed by Granger is a bit of an understatment.

This is like saying Dunleavy gets killed by Dwade. (Dunleavy gave up 20 to Wade in the first 6 mintues of play last game)

I agree with CJ DC is a little better. If Collison played defense he would be 10x better but he doesnt.
