2011 Playoffs: (1) Bulls vs. (8) Pacers

Bulls in five. As Andrew believes -- D-Rose gets bored sometimes.

Bulls in 7. Pacers win Games 3, 4, and 6 because Reggie Miller would be covering those games.

Bulls in 5, Pacers steal game 1

watching game 1. Still early but Indy's holding their own. Oddly enough Granger hasnt scored yet.

Pacers still in front.But i believe we have all the time we need to get in front and build a nice lead till the halftime break...

4th quarter - Pacers up by 7 - Derrick Rose has chucked 9 threes and missed all of them.

Pyscho T is simply owning the Bulls (read Boozer), I hate him, but amazing game from him.

godammit pacers

What a finish that was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me calm down a little and I will post my opinion for the game!!!

A 16-1 run in the last 3 minutes? WOW! (does rose do this on purpose?)

(does rose do this on purpose?)

Yes, he tries to win games. Duh.

That was one hell of a finish.

What a crazy game!
Nice start for playoff games.

What a finish!Rose was killing it on the last minutes,Noah made 2 amazing highlights,owning Hansborough 2 times!
Though I have to admit that the team should have played better on D.Boozer just sucked on it....

A win is a win though,1-0 and in my opinion,these series is done.Indiana had a huge change to make things more interesting,but couldn't make it...

Kyle Korver could not be stopped!

Rose goes wild. Nuff said.

Yep what a night for Rose

Rose was unbelievable

So much for my first game prediction. Rose surely showed why he is the MVP.

What a rally!

Still, it's clear the Pacers aren't content to make this a token playoff appearance. Even if the Bulls can pick up the sweep as per my pick, I'd say it's going to be very hard fought.

Not often you get to shoot more free throws than the entire other team.

But he is the MVP of the season, he must have been fouled !!!!!11

Honestly, the recap of the game looked great, but 21 free throws seems a bit too much. Nice game by Psycho T though.

Bulls in 6. Late prediction, but no one knows.

Bulls in Game 5. Anyways, great comeback for the Bulls in game 1.

I didn't see the whole game, just highlights, so I can't comment on the nature of the fouls that put Rose at the line. However, considering the way he gets into the lane and to the rim, it's not surprising that he ends up shooting a fair amount of free throws; especially now that he's not trying to avoid the contact for the finish as he was when he first came into the league.

Having your starters outside of Boozer shooting 21% is not an easy way to win games.
