With a 3:38 left in the game, the Bulls down by 10, Tyler Hansbrough making a mockery Carlos Boozer's defense, things did not look good.Luol Deng knocked down a couple free throws, Joakim hit a tip, and then Derrick Rose...

Game 2 will be a totally different story. I don't think it'll be close at all. If all these Bulls get on the same page, they can be scary good.

The Bulls have streak-fever catching up to them. Winning 10 straight is good for momentum, but it gives you a sense of overconfidence. Rough starts like this are good to put the ego in check, and resort to the fundamentals.

Once they review the tape of today's game, they'll come ready to play. Wake-up call for the Bulls today. Indiana won't want anything the Bulls bring in game 2.

That's what I've been saying all along, they just can't afford to get in holes like this against teams like Boston and Miami. Those teams aren't gonna let you come back late in the 4th quarter.

But the only thing you can say about this man is...

:rose:

MVP!!!

I think Indiana is kind of unique in that they have a player like Granger, who when he is on, can hold his own against the more accomplished players. But beyond that, they have a center and PG who are capable, an energy PF, and 3 wing players who have length, athleticism and who can hit shots at times. The problem they present is, who do you focus on? Hansbrough is the kind of player who can kill you if you ignore him but he's also the kind of player that its hard to justify giving too much attention...again, its not like there arent other guys. And when you load up on Hansbrough, the Pacers have athleticism at the wings and at PG to penetrate the lane.

The Pacers are a little reminiscent of the Atlanta Hawks team that Boston struggled with in the first round of 2008.

Having said that, I really hope Indiana cools off somewhat. They shot over 50% from 3 and thats a killer if they do that consistently. They had guys like Price making everything.
