The Boston-Miami matchup proved to be very disapointing. I wanted Boston to tire out Miami- instead they have handed them all the confidence in the world. That will make it tougher for us to beat them.
Why the hell did they trade Kendrick Perkins? I hope they now realize that mistake. What did they get for him? Nothing useful. What did they lose? A lot, both physically and emotionally. You don't break up that sort of willing chemistry. Shaq just looked sad out there.
So, Bulls-Hawks. Who ever would have thought that Atlanta would be better without Kirk Heinrich? But this is a phenomona I have observed in the playoffs. Teams prepare for the starters. Coaches tend to shorten their benches in the playoffs and I think that's a mistake. Everyone knows what Derrick Rose can do and they construct their defense around his threat. They pay no attention to Ronnie Brewer and CJ Watson. When they come in, defenses don't know what to do. This has happened with Atlanta's new point guard. Hopefully after 5 games now, we have a handle on him.
And why are we not clogging the paint with Kurt Thomas? I'd like to see all our centers in the rotation. Boozer needs to step up (and not gesticulate when he finally makes a good play). We need to move the ball more and not rely on Derrick so much. I hope we win tonight. Go Bulls!
