Granger calls Noah "dirty"

Show me the film. You have produced 0 evidence to actually back up your point, and I watched all 5 games carefully. If I missed something, show me. Otherwise, I'm going with my observation from watching that Granger did a good job on Deng over the entirety of the 5 games. Were there times when Deng got going? Yes. Was that the norm the 5 games? No.

Watch the film.

I'm starting to think you are just a troll. All you ever do is make three word comments with a "shakes head" at the end. Either that or you are a 10 year old with little knowledge of basketball.

Alright, sounds like you're done on this thread. Next time, find some facts, or bring some film or something to contribute. Holding fast like a stubborn mule while providing nothing of value will get you nowhere.

Watch the film..



If I knew where to retrieve said film, I would post it here. I've seen other people post games in sections so I believe it is possible. Unfortunately I'm not aware of where they get it. I figured someone who is more experienced (wc?) or more knowledgeable of how to get a game tape would come forward. I did as much as I could with my first couple posts to prove my point and give examples. I will admit that the continued posting of "watch the film" was childish and stubborn however.

and whoever thinks I'm a troll/w.e, just because I disagree with people does not necessitate me being a troll. I come here to post my opinions and attempt to break down arguments that I believe are false. If you disagree, thats fine but trolling? Considering that normally warrants a ban and the fact that I like posting here and discussing Pacers basketball, I'm not trolling. I dont need to address the other comment.

At the very least, we can probably all agree that the Deng/Granger matchup was pretty even all things considered.

Deng had an overall solid series, but Danny outplayed him. It's that simple. Then again, Luol Deng is a very solid player who for many years was viewed as Danny's peer, and for several years, was thought to be a superior player to Danny.

Danny played well. No, he didn't "own" the series like Derrick Rose (who didn't play "well", but won out with superior talent and his ability to ultimately get to the hoop and finish).

It is debatable but Danny may have played the best of any player in the series. Yes, Rose is much better but he did not play well. Deng in no way outplayed Danny and that is for sure.

[paulgeorge24]

Still very debatable. I'll leave it at that.

Still very debatable. I'll leave it at that.

Danny may have had the best series, but he still was no closer. If we had a closer, we probably would've stolen that series.

Truer words could not be said. Granger did have a good series, but, his play defensively was much to be desired for. In late game, he was terrible in almost every game. Doing it mid-2nd quarter or to start a game is much different then doing it in the final 4 minutes of a game. The team did what it could to get a lead and then had to be carried by a closer, and ours failed us, with missed shots and missed free throws.

Don't get me wrong, i think Granger is a terrific player, but he is not a go-to-guy or "star" of a team. He's the "robin" on a pretty good team.

Anyone see that elbow by Boozer? But hey... the bulls couldn't be dirty...
