I was at work yesterday and wasn't able to watch the game, I just saw the highlights I posted above the definition of going ham

Uh, Rondo was pulling down 8.5 boards a game, several of them being offensive. Boston will absolutely benefit from his absence on the glass.

He also spent a lot of time on IT.

This is a big loss. If the Bulls lose, that's not an indictment on Jimmy.

It is a big loss. However Lopez is killing Boston in the paint. If you want to credit Rondo for the series lead so be it. Boston isn't hitting jump shots. Chicago is running people at IT forcing him to pass. Boston wasn't a good rebounding team all season. They won many games having IT go nuts in the 4th. Jimmy is a great defender right? He better clamp IT if the game is close in the 4th.

In the NBA the stars carry blame. Jimmy being the best player on the floor has to get his Bulls 2 wins. It's on him.

I say Chicago as a whole has gotten significantly weaker because they lost one of their best all around players, and you comprehend that as me saying Rondo is solely responsible for the series lead

You got it man

Not trying to make an excuse but i think Boston is emotionally rocked from Chyna's death and it's drained them from making fundamental basketball plays. I had Celtics in 5 but man, i am blown away. Boston needs to dig down and find something cause they are getting killed on the boards and second chance points.

Don't do this. It's disrespectful. That team isn't as good as advertised. The end.

she was alive though when cleveland split them open on their own home court

This is not fair.

We all know how bad the Celtics are.

Bostons line ups are trash and they aren't stopping Chicago on the boards. The have one play maker in Thomas and didn't spend time trying to develop another one.

Even with Boston's non existent rebounding and Avery Bradley missing 24 games during the regular season, they still were a 50 win team and were the no.1 seed in the East. I honestly do think Chyna's death and seeing Isaiah cry and breakdown right in front of them has the team in a slump and depression.

Rondo out with a fractured thumb is gonna turn this series around. Boston is gonna win four straight! Let's go!

Stop trying to use someone's death as a sports narrative for why your team sucks.

They over achieved this season. They're not that good. We all fell for it.

Speak for yourself.

I wasn't ready to count the Celts out against the Bulls. Now that Rondo is out, i'm leaning even more towards that feeling.

Memphis won't win another game this postseason.

Agreed

At least you're a realist.

he's a jinxist.

 

[bishopstrongbow]

Bulls still win the series.

And get boned by Washington.

 

[k3stacks]

Dipset lol

Tough loss for the Bulls losing Rondo.

The NBA is a stars league. Jimmy needs to step up and close the deal. No different then Lowry or Derozan taking the blame for Toronto or Wall if Washington lost up 2-0. Its time for Jimmy to finish Boston off. That's what I'm saying.

You said "it's a team game" to the notion I expect Jimmy to step up and win the series. If that's the case the stars are never responsible. Everyone shares equal blame.
