NBA Playoffs Rd 1: Chicago Bulls vs. Indiana Pacers

[Panthers128]

Pacers have to rebound better and they can still win the series. They've got the talent to get the rebounds, they just have to work for it.

awesome game

Rose is a beast at driving to the basket and today he showed just why he was the MVP. There were times where you'd think there wasn't enough space but he'd be able to split players. His weakness of his overall game is his outside shooting, and that was evidenced today. But really he has improved vastly from his previous years. Rose's on-ball defense is also not the greatest as we saw Collison and even AJ Price get there looks.

I think that this loss for the Pacers might do some damage to their psyche. Tough game to lose. Every time the Bulls made a run they always seems to have an answer until the end.

Indiana played damn good, especially Psycho T, but Rose went into beast mode and Chicago started hitting all of their perimet shoots.... That's what makes chicago good... Rose ability to get to the whole with chicago's ability to knock down three's in clutch situations.

LOVE THE NBA PLayoffs this year!!!

But Indiana is showing how to play on the big stage when you get a chance.

Well that proves why the Bulls won't win it all. Not gonna be able to make that comeback against teams like Boston/Miami/LA/Dallas/SA/OKC/Denver...I think you get the picture.

Granger is right, they go as Rose goes. All you gotta do is stop him, which is proving impossible.

And that would be why they can win it all.

Some teams stars showed up, others did not.

Sloppy game so far and Rose's outside shots still aren't falling. Pacers are utilizing rookie Paul George on him. He's super athletic and his length is what could bother Rose.

Rose finally hits a 3 in the series after starting 0-11, then Bogans hits one on their next basket.

TJ Ford half court shot! Ties game after 3.

God I love this Pacers team. Is this the same Josh McRoberts that cried during the Duke/UNC game? Guy has become an awesome player. Love the players who love to take charges.

[HeatCheck]

They are a scrappy little team causing turnovers, getting offensive rebounds, and making hustle plays. That's what is keeping them in games. I predicted a Bulls sweep but I can't see that happening after watching these 2 games.

[HeatCheck]

The MVP just crossed up Granger and gets the and 1. Possibly the momentum shift the Bulls need.
