But what I don't get is if they finished 4th/5th, if they beat the Bulls they get either a Pacers team in total shambles or a Hawks team that finished 6 games under .500 in the regular season, and then you get Miami in the ECF and worry about them there. They put all their eggs in 1 basket (playing Miami), they didn't have a plan B or a plan C. For a $189 million, this is extremely dissapointing. Put together this roster to battle Miami and now they may not even get a chance.
The Nets are playing how much money to Garnett & Pierce again?? Close to $40 million and neither of them are on the court late in the 4th quarter of a tie game in game 5 of a series tied at 2-2 which imo is the single-biggest game of a series outside game 7.
U definitely have to put PP in the game when its crunch time

I think they were a little too focused on Miami so early in the season.
Any reason why Taj Gibson isn't starting though? That guy is amazing. Love the way his offensive game has come together.
His offense is inconsistent still and the Bulls were desperate for offense.
Next year with Rose back and another scorer added....you get the double whammy of not needing scoring so desperately as well as Gibson being guarded less closely.
It is mindbuggling what the Hawks did in the last 3mins. Offense was going well and then they just stopped doing what they were doing, defense was decent, 3 seconds left in the shot clock and no double team. Fouling a guy when you are down TWO with more than 30secs left. Just wow.... Talk about basketball IQ. Can't believe the Pacers are probably going to pull this out. Wonder if they can take the offense of the Wizards though.
