Official Bulls-vs-Pacers Game 1 Discussion Thread

[Rick]

Too close, Bulls need to help Rose more. I like the way Deng turned it on in the second half and the way Korver was able to knock down 3-pointers in crunch time. Great comeback

Game Over. Reggie Miller has his hands around his throat right now

You cant really consider it a choke when we were suppose to get beat by 40. Plus we are so young and have no playoff experince no surprise I predicted we would get sweept they really surprised me today.

Anybody else absolutely love Luol Deng getting the croud pumped? I don't remember the last time I saw a NBA crowd that loud and into it. It felt like a college atmosphere.

A 13 point turn around with 5 minutes to go.

That is a choke regardless of who is playing. This isn't me trying to dawg the Pacers or anything. This is just a fact.

Really? No, If you are up every single quarter and then lose in the Fourth when there is a minute left, that's a choke. I don''t care what everybody else said the Pacers were supposed to lose by. Like I said Miller has his hands around his throat right now

 

[Scoot26]

I hope the 11 other Chicago Bulls show up for Game 2.

 

[sicko]

we have to get Noah on THE RUN, not of the Pacers Bigs can run with that GUY, we figured things out LATE in the game but better late the NEVER, but the KEY is RUNNING guys like HIBBERT OFF THE COURT

Boozer have to get his $hit together, if the Bulls want to go far this post season then, Boozer and DENG will have to step up and have some GREAT GAMES, if we didn't have Rose or if Rose would have struggled today we would have lost

MVP MVP!!! :bow: to Derrick Rose

I'll dawg them for you. Pacers choked at the very last minute period, no excuses

I guess it is because i watch all the pacers games I was expecting it we dont have a closer. Our offense is terrible in the last 8 mintues in most games and losing a 4th qter lead is a common thing.

this loss devistated the pacers to a point that they might not be competive the rest of the way....might be blown out...

hopefully im wrong id like to see a good series

Yeah that was awesome. He even got me cheering at home hahah.

I dont watch much basketball but that was one hell out of 4th QT.....Rose is a beast.

His energy and enthusiasm is something that's been sorely missed in the NBA recently. I love his support for Rose against that d-bag Hansbrough as well.

Frank Vogel, Pacers coach on Rose "He's got Iverson's speed, Kidd's vision, Billups shooting, & Jordan's athleticism. How do you guard that?"

 

[Kush77]

Rose is just unreal. Once again proving why he's the clear cut MVP. Stepping it up on the big stage once again and rallying the Bulls.

Love Deng's stepping up for his teammate. Deng was a victim of cheap shots a few years back from James Posey, so it's good to see someone step up like that.

Loved Noah's two blocks at the end, made me want to scream out load too. I think the Bulls roll in game 2 now. That's the best the Pacers can play at the UC. They had their chance for a road win - it ain't happening now.

 

[sach1]

well the Pacers played well for 45 minutes.
Nice come from behind but I'm expecting the Bulls to play better defensively specially Boozer, man he almost lost this game for us.

Absolutely right. Getting your pocket picked by Hansbrough at the top of the key is a highlight you don't want to be on the wrong end of.

you cant...

well... the pacers dont have anyone who can anyways

rose will have a huge series against this team...everyone else needs to step up and help him going forward

i agree. the bulls are going to take the pacers seriously for game 2. My biggest fear was that the bulls would take it easy on them. For a majority of the game, the bulls were lethargic.

bogans seemed like he was trying on defense, but he really wasn't giving us much. I'd really like to see both, brewer and korver play more minutes.
