If there is 1 thing that comes out of the series..

[J-Mart]

Rose, Tyrus and Noah better take this loss to heart and realize how hard they have to work this summer. Rose especially, he needs to look at how Rondo abused him and watch tapes of it everyday until he becomes an All-Defensive team defender. He has the physical gifts to do it, its a question of whether or not he wants to. He needs to learn to be aggressive, he can't pull this passive crap next year.

If we lose I will consider it a successful season as long as those 3 work there asses off like no other this off season and improve. Thats more important to me than getting to the 2nd round or the ECF.

I just get the feeling from Tyrus that he isn't all that caring about the team. I think Noah and Rose will step it up in the offseason and I know everyone is pretty down, but don't forget guys this series isn't over. We have really good shot at beating them at home and anything can happen in that game 7.

Rondo has owned Rose this whole series.

 

[Dpauley23]

Thats because Rondo is better than Rose. People to take there Rose sunglasses off

I agree, I think Rose and Noah will have a monster season next year.

I would like it if they have a bad taste in their mouth but good feeling about it as well. I hope Noah realizes how Perkins out muscles him every game and so he bulks up and be ready next year.

While Rose sees how Rondo is outplaying him - he comes out to be better all around player because of it and works on hs defense so he can slow down guards like Rondo.

Just wishing they do.

If those guys can improve on what you said, then I totally agree that this season would be a success. Getting to the 2nd round would just be icing on the cake at that point.

Noah has played won hell of a season and we have to give Del Negro some credit as he has done pretty good job in the series

If there's anything for Rose to take out of Rondo torching him this series it's that he can look at what Rondo was two years ago and see how much he needs to improve. In two years time he should be aiming to be destroying Rondo when hopefully the Bulls are the high seed and the aging Celtics are the low seed.

I think Noah has been a pretty good player for some time. Once he started getting burn after the Wallace trade last year he really came on, and other than his slow start he's been good this year too. Basically it's a huge steal to get a good center outside the top 2-3 picks in the draft, most of them drafted outside the "can't miss" range are complete busts.

If he can get stronger and fit enough to play 30+ mpg the whole season it would be huge for us next year.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have a new found hate for the Celtics. I can't wait to watch Rose to start torching Rondo every game they play while the Celtics are in the lottery for the next 5 years. The good role players will stop coming once Garnett, Pierce and Allen become older.

Same here. And the funny thing is that I don't really hate many players on the Celtics. I don't hate Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, or Paul Pierce, although I do hate when they're lighting up the Bulls.

The only player I hate on the Celtics is Kevin Garnett. That guys a loser, out there yelling at Aaron Gray and Anthony Roberson. He should have been T'd up multiple times in this series.

KG certainly seems to have the angry mask on every time the camera catches him. He doesn't ever seem to even be happy when his team mates are winning. I understand the dude is annoyed he can't be out there, but would it hurt him to maybe smile or something?

Re:If there is 1 thing that comes out of the serie

I don't know how any Bull's fan can be disappointed by this series so far. Yes a few more lucky bounces and we are winning but a few more bounces for the C's and they sweep so...A series as a whole this has been great and an overachievement for the Bulls. I know that they have played well since the trade, but we can't change our expectations just because of some success. Our roster is depleted by injuries still and yet they are taking a good team to the ultimate limit. Rose, Noah, Tyrus will definately learn from this, Noah and Rose more of a guarantee, and it will motivate them during the off season.

Also I hope this proves to Reinsdorf that Gordon is worth paying the luxury tax for. I get so mad at his shot selection and he is a black hole, but you have to keep him there is no one out there better to replace him. And we would have to replace him or we get worse even if Rose gets better. C'mon Jerry how can you not keep this guy, atleast for an entertainer, you don't have to give him more than 4 yrs if you pay fair.

If JR goes over the tax to resign Gordon I will forever forgive him for being cheap.

Re:If there is 1 thing that comes out of the serie

You can tell, without Gordon Bulls would have gotten swept in a hurry.

You could tell how we were losing the lead in the 4th qtr when Brad Miller tried to go 1-on-1, when Rose passed it to Hinrich (who was open), yet Hinrich didn't shoot and dribbled the air out of the ball with clock running out. Then Rose with couple of bad plays.

I was like give the ball to Gordon and let him go work coz he is the only one who can score for us when the times get tough. It was too late, Gordon didn't get it until Boston cut it down to 2 or 3 and then a tie.

JR better pay tax and keep Gordon or else.

Re:If there is 1 thing that comes out of the serie

I think the Bulls need to make a run at Boozer, Bosh or Amare this summer and I think Boozer being a FA he should be avail in a sign and trade. I think Tyrus and Kirk could make a deal worth.

We need more offense and bulk at the four spot
