Heat-Sixers and Bulls-Pacers Game 2 Thoughts
Well, any hope of the Heat choking in the first round pretty much went up in smoke last night.
It wasn't a very plausible hope. It was like in high school when you got a class with the hottest girl in school whose assigned seat the gods somehow seemed fit to place right next to you and your sarcastic t-shirt wearing self.
She may even engage in casual conversation with you, offer you a piece of gum, or even sign your yearbook.
You may begin to entertain some semblance of a whisper of infantessimal hope that she might just want to accompany you to grab a burger and a movie.
In the end, reality creeps in and she ends up writing the name of the guy with the fake ID and the flashy car all over her notebook while repeatedly asking your opinion on such deep, philosophical topics like: why can she never find a good guy?
She's never going to end up with you. Everyone knows it; and so do you.
And so do the Sixers.
IN THE NIGHTCAP, the Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls played game 2 of their series.
Again, it was the Derrick Rose show in the fourth quarter, with a big three from Kyle Korver to ice it.
Sound familiar?
It was pretty much the same script as game 1, including the Pacers showing the world again how much they are lacking an offensive identity.
Aside from losing Darren Collison for the second half with a sprained ankle, the Pacers just don't have an answer when they need a big shot.
The Bulls? You know Rose is getting the ball, he may not be the one who shoots, but the offense goes through him.
The Pacers don't have that and, no, Tyler Hansborough is not it. In fact, he's creeping closer and closer to Adam Morrison-status with every Ill-advised shot.
SOMETHING ELSE I REALIZED LADT NIGHT: there is one more piece to Michael Jordan's legacy I've never thought about before: to my generation, the NBA playoffs are better when the Bulls are in it.
There is just something about the United Center floor in the playoffs that stirs something inside me- like the Staples Center, the Garden, MSG, or whatever they're calling the place where the Spurs play there days.
A decade after he left, Michael still impacts the game.
