Dalakhani, did you check out the play with 58 seconds to go, after James hit the three to tie it? Rose had it top of the key and they moved him over a little to the right and ran a pick and roll with Thomas. Didn't work. Bosh steps out on the pick and by him showing, it gives James a chance to get back over so now Rose has got James and Bosh guarding him and that's too much size. If they try to run it with Deng or another small, Wade is quick and athletic enough to switch and Miami doesn't lose a beat. The best chance for the Bulls in those situations is a 1-4 set and get out of his way and let him try to get to the basket. You don't want any other defenders up there congesting things.

You know KG that a pick and roll is only going to be as good as the screener. Thomas is too slow to have to worry about the cut to the basket. If Boozer were in the game, that's where i would have run it but either way Rose shouldn't have turned it over there.

I agree with the 1-4...if you don'thave time and if they were playing Rose with even a shred of honesty. They weren't and that's why they needed to run something in my opinion. All moot now.

Should be a fun finals.
