Del Nego gets a chubby as he comes to pull Hinrich away from Rondo after the tantrum they both threw. (Sorry Vinny, I had to).
So if you missed Thursday night's game, there's nothing I can say that can really capture it for you.
triple overtime loss. There, how's that?
Every game we play, I get worried when Noah comes in. Not because I think he's that good of a player, which, he is getting there, but because out of every player out there, he seems to want to win the most. There is no better example of this than his last steal and dunk to close out game 6 for the Bulls. My hat is off to that lanky bastard. My hat is also off to Ray Allen who scored fifty-bleepin-one points!
Aside from that hmm... Rondo, had it not been for his assisting frenzy (19), had a pretty tough night, scoring-wise. First of all, he's lucky he didn't get ejected for hip-tossing Hinrich into the scorer's table. It was awesome, by the way, but it was early in the game, and initially called a flagrant 2, (which I would have agreed with), and after discussion, downgraded it to a 1, which I was thankful for. Um, OK, you're averaging a triple-double this series, NOT A GOOD TIME TO TAKE UP GRECO-ROMAN WRESTLING, RONDO! The league has ruled that no further actions are going to be taken (phew!). If the next game wasn't the 7th, I bet he would have been suspended. I think this is an act of mercy on the league's part since we don't have KG or Powe and game 7 is of course, the most important of the games.
Then he tries to be paul pierce and gets rejected by... Rose??? Seriously, Doc, I hope that wasn't a play that you designed. I hope that was Rondo's (poor) decision, cause so far, I am wondering if it's the coaches' or the players' fault that we tend to sh*t the bed in overtimes this series. If you just watch all the OTs back to back you will see that we struggle shooting quite often, commit atrocious fouls, forget to defend, and don't pass well. In the overtimes we don't lose (which all end in ties and eventual losses later, except game 5), it always comes down to one player (so far it's been either Pierce or Allen) saving the rest of the team's skin, and they are both such good players that it sorta works. Pierce did it in game 5, Allen tried to do it in several games. But I'll take a team of five over Pierce and 4 obvious decoys in any OT. I understand the concept of a "go-to guy" but you need more than 1/5 on the floor to play well in overtime, and Chicago knows that, but we don't seem to get it yet. Our best bet tonight is to just win in regulation, as tough as that sounds, cause our overtime minutes are kinda scary.
Give Chicago credit, though, WE are supposed to be the calm collected veteran team in these situations, but:
Game 1: OT, CHI wins
Game 2: no OT, BOS wins
Game 3: no OT, BOS wins
Game 4: OT, CHI wins
Game 5: OT, Pierce wins
Game 6: OT, CHI wins
I'm just sayin...
I know the pressure is on and everyone feels it regardless of their veteran status, but if you told me that Chicago would win 3/4 overtime games in the series, I would have laughed in your face.
So here's hoping I get to bitch about Orlando in the next week... Aw hell, I'm sure I'll be doing taht anyways. Enjoy game 7, Amigos!Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2009/05/chicago-and-boston-fans-mental.html
