Excellent ... great to have an all-purpose playoffs thread up and running.

---------------------------

I'd like to see Indiana start Mike Dunleavy instead of Paul George against the Bulls.

Keith Bogans is not an offensive threat so they can comfortably play an offensive orientated player like Dunleavy without hurting their defense significantly ... and Dunleavy provides much more consistently effective offensive play than the streaky (albeit explosive) Paul George does at this juncture in his career.

I haven't liked the shots that Danny Granger has taken.

Granger is letting Luol Deng's defense dictate too much out there. Deng deserves a lot of credit here. He has been doing a terrific job on Granger so far.

It is going to be a very difficult series for Indiana if Granger cannot be a quality go-to scorer for them.

I agree all he's been doing is settling for jump shots.  Except on that last possession where he took it in and lost the handle.

I hope Collison has a big series battling with Rose.

3 fouls on Boozer and 2 on Rose and they are down 5.  Chicago looks terrible when Rose sits.

Stern really went all out assigning violet palmer...salvatore and joey CrAWFORD to ref this game...what a terrible crew

Will Rose be able to keep up this pace driving the basketball.

What do you mean Hansborough has no size? He just dunked the basketball right over Noah and Thomas

ARE YOU KIDDING ME CRAWFORD.  Can't let Rose come close to foul trouble.
