Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics

[Crazy like a fox]

Rondo is a dirty player and the league is enabling this clown...another thug playing ball. DRose on the other hand is a class act.

Bulls win in 7. Game will go into overtime and Rondo will choke someone.

[Dean]

I expect that if Rondo is in any altercation, he is gone. I'm sure Doc and Rondo have been told. That said, it once again depends on what team shows up. Salmons, Gordon, Hinrich and Miller have been in playoffs and should be ok, the question is Rose, Tyrus and Noah. Expect changes for next year, but we will only get better!

[WI Bear]

I have to admit, I haven't watched much BB since Michael left, but this Bulls team has been a thriller. Not sure if my heart can take much more of this. Close it out, Bulls! Make the Beantown fans cry.

[Devon M]

I remember all Chicago Media and many fans wanted Pax FIRED!! I don't see alot of praise to him now...Miller, Salmons key change in this team...your thoughts

I'm not so sure about that. Chicago is the 3rd biggest market in the NBA, and have ALOT of fans around the country too. And if they did win, it would be the story of the playoffs, and everyone would be watching to see what they did next.
And that is the reason why Rondo is not suspended right now. And quite honestly, I didn't want him to be. I want my Bulls to beat this team as is, and truly earn a series victory.
Though it would be nice if LJ the III got into the game and gave that lil ET-lookin **** a forearm shiver to the face.

Just wanted to point out to you that since the Knicks are not in the playoffs, it makes chicago the 2nd largest market behind L.A.

Bulls will win game 7 if:

A.) Tyrus Thomas helps on the defensive boards and also if quits taking ill-advised jump shots.

B.)If they play a drive and kick out game with D-Rose instead of having Gordon dribbling around as if he is a member of the Harlem Globe Trotters.

C.) If they assign Hinrich to Allen defensively.

D.) Continue sending and extra defender at Pierce when he is dribbling laterally.

E.) At crunch time make sure that Gordon and Rose are not on the floor at the same time because of defensive limitations by both.

I really don't care who wins i would just like to see it go to 4 OT's. This series is by far the best 1st round series of this decade and that i have ever watched.

You know that if it was the other way around and Rondo got his butt thrown onto the floor, you Celtics fans would be in an uproar too. Bottom line: Rondo acted like a complete jackass, showed no class and sportsmanship whatsoever, and set a bad example for young basketball fans out there.

Rondo (along with D. Rose) has been praised all series for his performance as Celtics point guard, but by tossing Hinrich into the scorer's table he pretty much ruined his reputation as a person. He can score as many points as he wants and continue to average triple-doubles, but the way he behaved in this series will forever haunt him.

Yes, I'm a Bulls fan, but I'm also a sports fan which means that I would hope professional athletes would just play the game and play it clean. Rondo should have been ejected and should sit out Game 7. The league is sending out the wrong message by not taking more serious action on the matter and it's very disheartening.

I can't "belive" that someone of your inferior intelligence managed to make it through life so far. What a "supries"!

snap.

Face it tool the whiny girls with feminine problems are the Celtics. Everyone outside of Boston seems to know this (read any national discussion about your petulant douchebag team today for proof) there Mr. Mike from garbagetown, what about you?

[Shields Up Captain]

Go get 'em Bulls. They can win this game. Del Negro is right. The pressure is all on the Celtics. They are the defending champs and its in their house.

The Bulls are built to win this game. They are young, have tons of energy, and are built with players like Rose, Hinrich, Noah, and Gordon that all have experience in big games at the collegiate level. They know pressure.

Look at the Celtics in game 6. They were mouth breathing and tired. The Bulls weren't.

I've been watching Bulls games since The Shot MJ did on Ehlo and I haven't been this proud of a Bulls team since the year MJ was gone and Pippen led them against the Knicks.

The Bulls can win this game. Game 7 nothin'. Kick their butt by 20.

lol you need to leave the ctystal alone, Bull fans crying why I have notice on other ites that the celt fans are the ones who are whinning crying and asking for help. You want an injured man just to dress out to give hyou some kind of energy come on if that is not crying what is? If rondo was taken out of game 7 you had no chance I mean no chance to win and for you to suggest that again I say get off the crystal

After further review by the NBA...no further penalties for Rondo. I wonder if the NBA would have arrvied at the same conclusion if Kirk Heinrich raked Ray Allen's face to win game 5 and then a few days later Kirk Henrich grab Rondo's arm and whipped him into the scorer's table in Game 6? Why Jesse Jackson himself would have turned against the Bulls! Doesn't anyone realize Rondo has a problem?

I am a Marquette alumni who has always admired Doc Rivers. I guess I didn't expect him to admonish his point guard. Instead I thought he'd have the class to say something like "well it's playoff time and the fouls are harder. A difficult decision for the referees." Instead he actually calls Rondo's cheap shot mugging a fair play and lavishes praise on him for a "great basketball move" to win the game.(At any cost Doc?)

Really sad. If this playoff demonstrates anything it's that the Bulls are a class organization, the players are good sportsman and Vinnie is a great coach in terms of people skills (which may have more to do with performance than X's and O's). It also shows that the Celtics are so intimidated by their own history that they will do anything to win.

The good news is the Bulls are a team with a great future ahead of them whereas the Celtics are...
