This game was a very tough playoff game, a defensive battle…

Spencer Hawes, Jrue Holiday, Lou Williams and Evan Turner had big games…

Holiday and Turner are becoming a very good backcourt overnight, Holiday’s quickness is on full display against Watson and Lucas, Turner is the best rebounding guard in the league next to D Wade, he’s also got a great handle and when he develops that jump shot watch out!!!

Lou Williams is clearly the best bench scorer in the league, I know James Harden is the 6th Man of the Year but he’s clearly a Starter assuming the role of 6th Man much like Manu was with the Spurs…

Spencer Hawes was the Hero in this game, if he had an average game we would have lost, Noah’s injury may have helped his late game performance a little bit but he was impacting the game before that nasty injury took Noah out the game…

Boozer and Hamilton carried the Bulls all night, Carlos had his mid range jump shot dropping, he was great although he got into foul trouble late and had to be replace by Gibson, Taj did not have an impact in the game other than a few offensive rebounds…

Rip was bailed out by a lot of calls, he’s always gotten those calls running off screens so I can’t get mad but he got Jrue into foul trouble early, that is waht kept the Bulls in the game early on, Jrue sat most of the 1st half, when he finally got into the game in the 2nd half the Sixers were down 14 points and looking at a loss…

Hamilton and Lucas provided a good deal of scoring for Chicago, but where was Deng? Besides a few jump shots I didn’t see Deng impact the game at all, Iguadola, Turner and Young have done a great job on Deng, also Turner’s D on Watson has been get better since game 1, the 2nd half of game 2 really change the course of this series…

This game will be remebered for Noah’s ankle injury, but I want people to remember the Sixers fought hard all game, missed plenty of free throws/open jump shots and came back from a 14 point hole in the 2nd half to win a tough game against a Very Good Chicago Bulls team…

Bulls could be in some trouble…

 Darn, beat me to a thread! lol

But it’s all good, everything you said, I mentioned too. What a great W for the Sixers. It was tough win and in the regular season, these were the games we were losing. But for us to get a grind out win in the playoffs was good.

I know people may want Noah to come back and give the Bulls some help at C, but he’s got to protect himself for the future, he’s a big man and big men should always take care of their legs/ankles/feet…

I think had Rose not been injured Noah would be encouraged to give it a shot, but with Rose already going down he may just pack it in and hope they can get back to full strenght next season… 

I know this is a Big "WHAT IF"…

But what If Holiday and Turner finally break out and become the players they were projected to be

Jrue Holiday has all the tools to become an elite guard, what he’s lacked IMO is some "FIRE", I’m starting to see him take over late and he’s showing me he might have the right stuff to get The next level…

Evan Turner has been a solid player since he was drafted, it’s taken him a while to find his place but I believe he’s going to be a fine Scorer in this league, people may laugh at this statement but he reminds me of a less explosive Wade, I think Turner would already be a 20 point scorer had been drafted by bottom feeder, he’s got the potential to become a top flight guard in this league if he continues to improve on his game and keeps that chip on his shoulder…
