Sickening.

Boozer jumps into Hibbert misses the shot, then the ref calls a foul.

Are you serious? I joke about the refs, but you're serious?

[hpantazo]

come on pacers, you can steal a game in chicago and make these bulls work a little before we face them

I don't remember that play but it does seem like Bulls  are getting ticky tack fouls while Pacers are getting clobbered and no whistle

The scary part about this Chicago team is that they won 60+ games without really coming together.  They play great defense and they're excellent on the boards, but I don't think they're getting nearly as much out of Boozer and Deng as they can on offense.  Both are capable of really taking a load off of Rose and carrying an offense for stretches and even whole games, but it doesn't happen with this team.  

If Rose learns how to get them going and really use their talents as offensive players, look out.

Yep. Webber even commented on how bad a call it was.

You know why theres alot of potential upsets?
Cause most of the team are overrated and overhyped by ESPN

First two games, Bulls defense looks anything but vaunted.

and that's against the pathetic pacers offense too

It won't happen, at least this season. Rose isn't good enough as a floor-general and distributor, that the reason why they're offense is so average. Very ball dominant player.

Grizzlies-Spurs, Hornets-Lakers, and Pacers-Bulls are major upsets regardless of anything ESPN says or does.

Did ESPN win the higher seeds games for them too?

Between ESPN, David Stern and the refs, I'm not sure if players and coaches matter at all anymore.

Bit of a sloppy finish by Indiana but they're still showing they can hang with the Bulls.  They need to take this one and get the split or it's all for naught, though.

Yeah, I get that
But there are so many teams that win alot of regular season games that should not be in the championship discussion

Its easier to win games when teams don't have the time to scout you and make adjustments. But when the playoffs roll around, many teams get exposed

[scoop1977]

AJ Price is awful. A guy who's biggest (only?) strength is shooting and has been a terrible shooter the entire season. TJ Ford should be playing ahead of him. If Collison can't come back, Indiana is in trouble.

[j804]

without Collison the Pacers in trouble ehh
