Anyone worried about hard fouls today?
That ruling somewhat made a precedent, so they should play really tough and it would really look bad on nba if they call flagrants for head shots in the crowd. And us if we cry about them...

nope, that's a contact game and they are professionals, besides bulls don't want to start something they can't finish.
chicago fans promising bloodbath are hella funny though. they are like that little kid, who's always talking mad **** about his big brother and how he's going to beat everybody only to get waved off asking for help.

They're clearly going to call the game tight tonight.

Good for Rondo and Rose. Bad for Perkins, Big Baby, Noah and Miller.

Agreed...so The C's need to play smarter.



ps.....I wonder the who was assigned the reffing duties tonight?

I am actually worried about the exact opposite. The Bulls don't have that guy to start with, what are they going to do send Lindsey Hunter after Perk? Anyone who takes a run at someone is going to get tossed and probably suspended. At that Doc has Bill Walker sitting right there at his disposal even though it isn't Doc's style at all.

I expect that CHI is going flop around like fish out of water all night long and continue to bait the officials and try and get into tie ups with Perk, Baby, maybe even Pierce.

The big thing is maintaining composure and fighting through the urge to punch some sissy ass flopper in the face.

Perk is not going to have another 0-foul night.

I could see it being like the hawks-heat game. I just hope no one is injured.

Miller has a very strong weapon and he might really get Rondo back. Imagine this.

Rondo is ready to drive, Perk goes set a screen for him.
Miller runs under the basket to wait for rondo
Miller starts crying, until there is a huge wet area of tears under the basket
Rondo slips and land on the tears wetting his shorts and has to go to the locker room to change
Everyone in chicago start laughing and Miller gets away with it.

(Rondo will be called out in the chicago papers as acting and being soft and not playing with wet shorts)

This is payback for Perk a long time ago. Somebody on Chicago a long time ago, maybe Curry, took a cheap shot on Pierce, and he required oral surgery. (Pierce led the league in oral surgery for years.)

Well Perk, the young buck that he was, clobbered the Chicago thug. Perk was ejected and fined. But the word when out. Our bigs would defend our stars. Surprisingly, Pierce no longer leads the league in oral surgery. (Pierce and the rest of the team paid the fine by the way.)

This is why the Chicago refs target Perk. It is payback.

Perk will defend Rondo. You can count on it. They'll be no cheap shots tonight, unless the refs foul Perk out early.

I expect an injection at the first sign of rough play so I'm not worried.

Refs are Joey Crawford, derrick stafford and ed malloy.

****, that ain't good...at least it isn't the Dream (Nightmare?) Team of Bennett Salvatore, Violet Palmer, and Bill Kennedey! Throw Steve Javie in there and that's a real lousy crew! Stern's dream, an NBA fan's nightmare!

My early feeling is that Joey Crawford ain't bad when you are the road team. He's one of those guys that thinks he is the show and likes to antagonize the home crowd. I probably won't have that feeling later tonight, but I haven't minded Crawford up to this point.

I heard Tampax is sponsoring the halftime show since they just picked up Brad Miller as their spokesmodel.

But seriously Joey JOE JOE Crawford............ Damm this game is about to get real interesting.
I bet you even ball boys are going to get hit with technicals if they step on the court.

I was hoping for Delaney and Nies but as sketchy as Crawford can be he isn't Bennett Salvatore. Boys better bring there FT's tonight there is going to be a lot of them.

^That is true...Bennett Salvatore has to be the worst and most crooked ref working right now...
I found online he even is a former tax cheat....take that for what you will...

Friends of mine know the Salvatore family from college and told me they wouldn't be in the least surprised if he was shady.

Are you kidding, this is one of the few teams I actually want to get physical with b/c they are even more finesse than we are. My jaw drop to the floor when some of the bulls commented on the series being physical. This has to be one of the least physical playoff series I have seen.
