Official Bulls-vs-Pacers Game 2 Discussion Thread

you are not serious are you?

It's an option isn't?

Hell no!!! He can't guard a dead man, and you want him to guard an allstar caliber small forward? makes no sense...

Who would you rather have beat you, Granger or Hansbrough? I'd rather have Granger, because even though he'll score 20, he'll shoot the Pacers out of the game to get his. Hansbrough has beaten the Bulls twice the last two times they played.

I think this will be a sweep now. I had the Bulls in 5 but after the Pacers being handed that loss now I really don't see them playing again like they did yesterday.

Boozer guard Granger? Lol hell no. He'll get blown by and shot over.

Boozer has always at least put effort in on defensein the past but lately, outside of a couple plays a game he hasn't even tried. Wont put a hand up or at least step toward a guy who was draining shots all day. It was sickening. I hope everyone calls him out on his effort.


All I know is that if we can get more from him and Deng offesively in conjunction with what we got from Korver yesterday, we'll be good to go.

You don't have Boozer guard a perimeter player period. That is what Deng is there for! You put Boozer on Granger...Granger might score 40 and get everybody in foul trouble in the process...I don't think so.

To say that you must be incredibly naive of Granger's game...Boozer can't guard Pierce or Grant Hill, let alone Granger...

Boozer can't let Hansbrough do that again.

Yeah, Boozer really needs to be productive on offense to offset his defensive deficiencies. If he's not, then you its worth looking at other combinations.

But like I said earlier, this problem doesnt seem to be all about Boozer. It seems whats happening is that Indiana knows our rotations and is spotting up Hansbrough to play off of our rotations and Hansbrough is knocking down shots.

It really seems like Indiana has figured something out.

 

[NealKleren]

I think we should put Asik on Hansbrough and see how that works since he really didnt get any playing time in game 1.

 

[Angel]

I'm expecting the Bulls to come out better prepared defensively. Might not be nearly as close as gm 1

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I'll be there, 200 level.

 

[Anytime23]

I wonder how many minutes Asik will see throughout the playoffs. I know they have big plans for him in the future but we could have Lee contributing right now and play big minutes while Asik warms the bench. While i dont know what the future holds for this team or the NBA in general, i think our best shot at a title is right now.

What makes me naive of Granger's game?

I said he'll shoot the Pacers into and out of a game. He did it game 1, he's not clutch.

Pierce is better than Granger period.

What makes me naive of Granger's game? I said he'll shoot the Pacers into and out of a game. He did it game 1, he's not clutch. Pierce is still better than Granger offensively, and Hill is better than Granger defensively.

He must think youre insulting Grangers game to think that Boozer could guard him, when in reality he couldnt. Granger didnt shoot them out of the game either, he had a poor 1st half but that didnt put his team down or anything.

Grant Hills defense has nothing to do with his comment, he was just saying the Boozer couldnt guard Pierce, let alone a guy like Hill. Also i would take Grangers offense over Pierce at this stage of their careers. Pierce is just more clutch.

Meh. Doesn't matter anyways. I have to remember my policy, Houheffna is always right.

 

[Anytime23]

Yeah, i hear thats the way it goes but its whatever.

 

[houheffna]

Quit whining because you say dumb shit and I correct you on it! Asking for Boozer to guard Granger is just god awful stupid! And you get mad at me for saying so?

You don't put the worst defender on the best player on the opposing team...what kind of damn sense does that make. Maybe the problem is not me being right all the time, maybe people don't know what the hell they're talking about and I disagree with them. Give me a break...
