I'm talking about this season.
This year:
5 games
Bulls won 4
Indiana won 1

The pacers were a better team this year than last year. No doubt. But the Bulls were a better team this year than last year too. Without Rose (everyone else healthy) Indiana-Bulls would be a very tough series to be honest and definitely Indiana would have great chances. But Rose is a great factor in the game. And it is not only his scoring. When Rose is in the game the opponents must adjust their defense on him with a result his teammates to have MANY open shots. You can't just throw one player on Rose and treat him like he is Watson. He will kill you on his own.

Exactly how many times must we go through this? THE REGULAR SEASON IS NOT THE SAME AS THE PLAYOFFS!!!!

He said that the Bulls BARELY beat the Pacers this year. Did they play against each other in the playoffs?

And I totally agree with you. The regular season is not the same as the playoffs. If the Bulls were a tough team to beat in the regular season. In the playoffs they would be twice more tough and serious. Rip Hamilton would be a factor too. But the pacers would be tougher too. It's the playoffs. All teams give their best in the playoffs.

Or it goes like the anti-homer way? In the playoffs the bulls are exactly like in the regular season and their opponents are tougher,faster,stronger and so much better?

Unfortunately Rose (and Noah) went down so we are out. It could happen to everyone. But judging the Bulls because they were eliminated without Rose and Noah is just stupid. The pacers didn't manage to beat the Heat w/o Bosh and Haslem for crying out loud.

Right. Keith Bogans was clearly the main reason why they lost last year.

The main reason no. But he was a 5 points per game player. A 25% free throw shooter. And a less player in the court for your opponent to guard. And they didn't lose. We are talking about the Pacers.

*Yawn* Again, you chose to use the regular season. I'm merely pointing out that the regular season vs playoffs doesn't matter. The perfect example of this is the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals.

So, again, for you to use what the Bulls did against the Pacers in the regular season this year does not matter.

You would think most people would get this concept.

I agree with you. The playoffs is a different story. I still believe that the Pacers had no chance against the healthy Bulls in the playoffs too but because the Bulls were a much better team than them. Nothing to do with their regular season results. He just said the Bulls barely beat the Pacers this year. And I gave him this season's results.

It's Lebron. He says Bulls fans have short memories.

Tell him congratulations for his last year ring . :troll:

The team that beat them got swept this year. Regular season results mean nothing. Same thing for last year's results man. It means nothing. If it worked that way we would have one permanent champion in the league.
