Just saying you can make excuses for anyone.
I could point out the fact that Rose had to take bail out shot attempts at the end of each quarter and some 4 sec shot clock attempts or the fact that there was plenty of no-calls on body contact that wasn't called at the hoop that normally would be called. But it doesn't change the fact that he and the rest of the team had a bad shooting night.
theres no excuse to take 22 shot attempts when you have Joe Johnson on your team.
Next game is gonna be HUGE. The team that goes up 3-2 in the NBA has an 85% chance of winning the series. (Unless you're the Kings and the refs fuck you in Game 6 and you shoot scared in the clutch of Game 7)
The time I watched(10:54 left in the 4th to the end), J-Smoove didn't take any bad shots, and all of his misses were at the basket, so that is all I can speak on.
a lot of people looking pretty stupid right about now[/QUOTE]@KCJHoop: Official Bennett Salvatore, via pool reporter: "Having watched the replay after, it was a foul and I should've called it. I made a mistake.
Championship teams don't let bad calls get to them
The Bulls were never inflated to begin with. Rose was carrying them ball and chain through the entire 4th period
Trying to get refs to bail you out = deflated. Bad strat is bad. I'm glad that shitty shot wasnt bailed out.
Cause Rose has a 100% chance to hit all 3 shots, right? He's 81.5% career FT shooting, but you still aren't guaranteed three points in that situation. Not saying he bricks all of them, but LeBron (75.9% FT shooting this season) missed several freebies in games 1 and 2 of the Celtics-Heat series. I really doubt if that call goes the other way that it leads to a Bulls win.
Spoiler: show
Rose is a 90% FT shooter in the clutch

So yeah he would've hit them
