Will the real Rip please stand up?

[scottiepippen1994]

Was last night a vision of the real Rip Hamilton?
18 points in the 3rd quarter alone.
He was quick as hell and distributed the ball very well.
Is this a taste of what Rip will do for us in the playoffs? If so, it was worth resting him all season as he could put us up another level than last year.

Or was last night just a fluke and 1 hit wonder to tease us and get our hopes up?
Was some of our Rip bashing justified or just hard truth?

Rip up the Hamilton bashing or Rip up his contract this summer? I'm confused about this guy...:dunno:

REBIRTH OR HOAX???

Well... now that you said something about him playing well, he's bound to get hurt in the next game and miss the rest of the regular season :lol:

But seriously, Rip looked great last night. That was the kind of performance we all expected from him. Moving well without the ball, playing well off screens, making quality shots and distributing the ball.

Not only did he move well WITHOUT the ball, he also moved well WITH the ball.
We got the best of both worlds from him last night.

hope too see more of that from him

It's on Rose to TRUST his teammates.

The Bulls beat the Heat without Rose. That tells me the Bulls should be able to beat the Heat with Rose in 4 of 7 games.

If Rip can give us about 75% of what he gave us last night, every night in the playoffs, I'm going to be feeling great about this team.

Also, don't forget about Korver. Him and Rip saved us last night.

Watching RIP play like that, is like watching a stranger come into your house and chill with you. At first you're like, who the ****. Then you're like... I'm glad you're here.

Until they notice you ran out of brew, and hit the road.

Yes, Korver was good on both ends of the floor, diving for the ball and everything.
Most importantly he shot the ball extremely well which is suppose to be his specialty.
He seemed hungry last night.

I always get excited when he blocks a shot. But three in one game? Instant joygasm.

That is why I feel good about this team as is.

It was good to see last night, the Rip we all expected to see with the team for the entire year... all packaged up in one lil 3'd qtr. He needs to get some time, build up his stamina and be ready to play like the 3d last night in the playoffs for extended periods of time.

I hope to God that it wasn't a fluke, because then this thread will turn into another Rip bashing fest....I hope I didn't speak too soon.
