IGT: Bulls (45-14) at Detroit Pistons (22-37) 4/15 5:00 PM CT on WGN

LMFAO at Venom and God voting for Detroit in the last second before King Rose hit that 3 fn trolls.

 

[Bear06]

No he isn't. He hasn't been hitting his floaters and drives. You'll know when he is back. Looked great compared to the Miami game. He also should have plenty of time to get all the rust off in the first round.

I agree we need Rose and Rip to get some chemestry going before they face Miami in the ECF.

Well...I have to admit I am disappointed in us despite the win. We should not need a game tying 3 by Rose to go to OT to beat this team. Granted Stuckey made a lot of lucky BS shots, but all the same, we should have killed them. I guess I'll give credit to the Pistons for sticking with us for most of it.

Noah had 13! offensive rebounds what is a season high in the NBA!

 

[Axl Rose]

i thought it was game when we got that 5 sec call

but rose came up big and im glad so it can hush that 'd. froze' shit

Well he has yet to knock down any clutch free throws..

I think rip is gonna give us games like tonight during the playoffs. Some nights he may get 20. Having those two working together efficiently will be a huge part in sinking Miami.

I'm hoping Boston can move up to the #3 spot so they'd get the heat in the 2nd round...I think that could be a long series.

We thought that was going to be last season too.

 

[Scoot26]

Also, I dont see the Celtics moving up. They are 2 1/2 back behind the Pacers..while not impossible, the Celtics close out the season playing all playoff teams and then a team fighting for 8th in Milwaukee (Though Milwaukee will likely be eliminated by that point).

I think that would be a good or bad for us. It could wear the heat down. However if they come out of that series with momentum from a 5 game series or something, I'd be scared.

Not really because Rondo was playing hurt.

 

[Deng Defense Force]

Fun fact:

3 of the last 4 Bulls games ended regulation with a game tying 3-pointer after missed free throws by the opponent.

New York: Bulls miss 4 straight free throws, Anthony hit game tying 3.

Miami: Lebron misses free throw, Watson hits game tying 3.

Detroit: Suckey misses 2 of 4 free throws, Rose hits game tying 3.


Moral of the story - Make your god damned free throws.

Not true. While I can't give you an example off the top of my head, he has on numerous occasions. It's just easy to remember the missed ones(Clipps, Heat, Natl title game)

 

[Glide2keva]

I love how people act like he can't hit clutch FT"s when we've all seen him do it.

 

[FirstTimer]

The Pistons announcers are garbage. Korver not a great free throw shooter? What an idiot.

He really isn't though(or at least he hasn't been for a few years) He's career 88% however he's been a bit bipolar over the last 3-4 seasons bouncing around from 88 to 79 to 88 to 82 this year. I guess it depends on your definition of "great" is(over 80%?, 85%?, 90%?..etc) though

 

[Glide2keva]

65% is not a great FT shooter, 80% yes you are a very good shooter. 85% = great.

I meant since the Knicks game. Rose has done it before. His most clutch I can think of is when they played the Pacers last year and he got fouled at the 3point line and made all 3 to tie it and send it to OT. Bulls still lost the game, but Roae did his duty there.

He is 11-19...he has hit clutch ft before...so have a lot of people. He has to hit them consistently. There is a long list of players we have seen do things who now or in the past have had reputations as chokers, yet we have seen them succeed in the clutch.

That was in response to another post where the poster made it seem like he has never done it.
