The story lines tonight are Joe Johnson (whether or not he’s capable of carrying a team for an entire series) and Rose’s ankle.
But I’m a pretty simple man and, simply put, it’s tough getting very far in the playoffs - where defensive is played at a premium level - when you basically only have 1 ½ guys (Deng being the half) that can get their own shot. Deng, would be a great #3 of a Big 3 but he's not a number 2 - least not on a championship contender.
Speaking of a #2 – Boozer has to be a 20 / 10 guy for the Bulls to meet the expectations they set after a 62-win regular season and, but for a stretch in the 3rd Q, he was non-existent once more. Yeah maybe Atlanta cools off and the Bulls turn the series around; but they need more from their big free agent signing from last summer is giving them if this next round is to be competitive - and we shouldn't assume there will be a next round…
