NBA 10-11

It's a misleading picture as well, since Rose isn't shooting the ball.

Bulls are in trouble. If they get past this series I think Miami will eat them alive.

I sure saw a lot of terrible pass attempts last night. And some crazy shots by Rose that got ate up. Also, what is the purpose of Kyle Korver other than that he's a good looking American white guy?

This offense has been ugly all year. Thibs is a cynical coach on offense. He's totally willing to abandon all hope of variety early, which is fine by me. Some of those clear outs in the 4th with everyone not #1 hanging on the weak-side high post were effective but too gimmicky to work consistently. Bottom line, Derrick either has to be unconscious hot or we don't win when no one else can score.

Lost in the loss, Omer was really effective defending the hoop. He had one high profile blunder when he went to help trying to prevent Korver from being stomped on by Horford, but that was forgivable. His activity closing out and showing high as well as contesting shots without drawing fouls is better than Jo. Certainly better than Kurt Thomas. We need to see more Taj too, but he needs to help Thibs out by not getting two fouls before he checks into the game.

Also, Jamal Crawford is going to look great in a Bulls jersey again next year.

I was really impressed- and the announcer pointed it out as totally symbolic of this season's Bulls- by the way they got back and stopped an easy layup in transition late in the game.

Actually Korver is very important to the team - he can be just lights out from beyond the arc and when he is it really opens things up for Rose. One of the best 3-point shooters in the game. Last night no. Terrible.

Admittedly, I know that but he was just so off last night it was hard to watch.

Korver's importance is evidence of a flawed team. A really good flawed team, because a really good player runs the show and they play defense like some bastards, but flawed.

[jim]

All the teams are flawed this year. That's why it's so much fun.

Three OTs thus far in Memphis. Very entertaining game so far.
