They have to solve the PG situation though. Stuckey is good... but he is not showing the distributor skills they need. Their offense shut down when Chauncy left. It was really painful watching them play. Rasheed just does not care, and Rip doesn't either.
Bulls series...
As good as Gordon is offensively... he is twice as bad defensivelly. The breakdowns that happened where the best shooter is left wide open are mind boggling. This has happened throughout the series, and one wonders what the hell the coaches are doing.
Salmons - Great bailouts at the end. Maybe we wouldn't need them if he actually played within the system. This is the kind of player coaches and fans hate... until he hits a fadeaway three with a defender in his face when the team needs it and hes been missing the whole day.
Miller - No. Just no. Never, ever, ever again. Ever. The only rebounds he gets are ones that go STRAIGHT to him, and the only positive play involved him not moving, Rose creating a wide open 3 for him. That's what Miller should do. Not move. Except move a couple of feet closer to the bench. It's almost as painful as watching the Pistons lose love for the game. I don't know if he's so out of shape or has just given up, but he's a shell of what he was.
Thomas/Noah - Good energy hustle players. If Rose/Hinrich don't set them up, they're worthless...
Hinrich - MVP (Gordon doesn't count - missed FT down the strech and played horrible D) of the game. Played great defense, hit clutch shots and was a sparkplug when it seemed the Bulls were flat. Did miss an important FT but he's not a lights out FT shooter like Gordon.
Vinny - A++++
Brick - playoff grades!!!! Please?
