All it took was one non-retarded possession from the Bulls to end regulation and maybe there’s no overtime. Sigh.[/quote]
I don’t understand why Rose kept taking that step back. James plays far enough off of him that if he’s gonna take a jumper, just pull up if you’re not going to the rack. Awful execution down the stretch.

The thing he’s doing is sagging far enough that if Rose does get by, he’s in the teeth of the D. Rose needs to realize that he’s not gonna get a good shot if he keeps dancing around and settling for contested step backs. The guy supposedly spent all off-season working on his jumper. Knock a few down with James sagging, force him to step up and respect it and now you can use your speed to get by him. That shouldn’t be that hard to figure out. GODDAMNIT.

I know, the problem is that while his J did improve, it’s still not really above average. He was 8-for-27 tonight. The 2nd half of the season his J was significantly worse than in the 1st half.
LBJ is just tailor-made to guard him. What I can’t understand is why they didn’t either a) post up Boozer on Bosh, or b) run PnRs/Pick-and-pops with whoever Bosh was guarding EVERY TIME DOWN THE FLOOR at the end of the game. Bosh had 5 fouls for quite some time at the end of the game. I would have attacked in him regulation and then gone at him every time in OT.
Also, Korver randomly turning into a worse shooter than Joakim Noah has really hurt.
was in south beach this past weekend and we ended up scoring some nosebleeds tix at the last minute. sadly, this was Game 3 and not tonight’s extra long matchup…
