Hawks have something going, not an offensive powerhouse by any means but they can play defense right now with the Bulls.

My dude Crawford was ballin'.

as of right now, the heat and celtics have to be licking their chops at the prospects of potentially playing chicago in the next round.   dudes have not looked like the strong team we saw this season.

alot can change between over the next few weeks and in 08 the celtics struggled through the first 2 rounds before getting it together the rest of the way, and on the other hand cleveland in 09 and orlando in 2010 looked unstoppable the first 2 rounds only to get spanked in the conference finals.

as of now though the bulls look off and they better get it together soon otherwise it's going to be ugly for them in the next round if they make it there.

I expect Chicago to come back (its only the 1st game) but Atlanta has been surprising me in the playoffs.

Props to Iso-Joe and Crawford hitting tough shots.

I wish Rose was more aggressive coming out of the gate to set the tone, i.e. taking it to the basket. Here's hoping Rose's ankle is ok by tomorrow.

Chicago is not better, since the start of the playoffs bulls have played 1 dominate game.....other than that 1 game, ball play is average.........the hawks match up perfect with the bulls...minus D.Rose hawks starting 5>bulls starting 5...and that bulls bench is nothing to the hawks bench just because of a jamal crawford....bulls looking like last year Cleveland Cavs

Bulls fans shouldn't be worried.  Crawford and Johnson scored over half of ATL's points last night.  They put up a lot of BS shots.  Unfortunately for the Bulls, they all went in (for the most part).  There's no way JJ keeps this effort up all series.

How about you save the laughing emoticons for something you know about.

Just had this same discussion with a cat here at the job.  Playoffs series are not won nor determined by one.  Hopefully this was a wake up call for the Bulls though.  They need to come out as they did in Game 5 against the Pacers.

Joe plays when Joe feels like playing. He never has been nor will be labeled as consistent.  He's a great talent though.
