@Cobb, this stadium is packed what's the occasion? There have been ALOT of empty seats in the Hawks games that I've watched this season. Is it simply because they're playing the Bulls?

Yep. Anytime a big name player/team comes in town we get a good crowd. Heck, I went to the Clippers game back in February (I think) and it was sold out.

I wanna root for the Hawks, but it's so sad to see them continuously no-show these big games. Knowing their past in the playoffs maker it harder.

 

I gave up on them this season until they looked hot after the Hinrich trade, and now they have fallen apart again.

LMAO the crowd quiets when a Hawks player makes a shot but erupts for anything Chicago does...crazy

Yeah, it's bad man.

 

It is really hard to watch Hinrich get so abused off the dribble on what seems like every bulls possession.

Called that buzzer beater, Hinrich gave him too much space.

 

74% shooting and 0 turnovers I don't think Chicago could have played a more complete half, this is a clinic. I'm not going to rule out the Hawks just yet, they made a comeback of the similar caliber in their last meeting.

^I've said it before, and I'll say it again.....Heinrich is a really overrated defender. Derrick Rose and CJ Watson are making him look silly.

Both games this year, Rose has struggled, and on WGN, they had Rose talking about how great of a defensive player Hinrich was when Rose was sitting in the locker room right after the game.

 

I figured it was pretty obvious just by those two games. Can't say a single player can lock Rose up every single game, though.

^He makes him a volume scorer, I'll give you that. But from actually watching the games I can tell you that he's had good success against Kirk this season despite the stats, Rose just gets himself into trouble when he starts relying too much on his jumpshooting. Rose can take Hinrich off the dribble whenever he wants.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love Hinrich and I think he's a top 3 defender at point. I just think your love for him overrates him as a defender at times.

Well, I doubt you can give me one player that Rose can't take off the dribble. If there was no help defense in the NBA, there would be at least 15 players averaging 30 PPG. Not even guys like Pippen and Payton could handle the fastest scoring guards in the NBA all by themselves.

 

Don't worry, I actually watch the games as well. I get every single Bulls game locally, on WGN.

 

If Rose could drive to the rim every single time, every game, he would...and basketball would be far easier...but unfortunately, it's not NBA 2k10. That's not taking anything away from Rose, at all, because it's the same with every player in the NBA.
