Hard to explain why he only attempted one shot and that didn't come until the fourth quarter, but he didn't play much as he was committing fouls and turnovers and not doing much else. He should have been out there in the fourth though.

I give tons of credit to the Wizards, Arenas shot 6-24, Hughes shot 7-21 and Jamison shot 8-17, not great games but they still managed to get it done thanks to key contributions from guys like Haywood, Jeffries and Ruffin.


Since when are the dirtiest team and biggest floppers?

It's not as though I don't give credit to the Wizards or blame the Bulls' failures, but there were some bad offensive foul calls, ones that are somewhat common. I guess I'd expect you to find my comments hilarious though, as you've demonstrated a certain disdain for the Bulls and Bulls fans in the past.

^ Really? I only remember one debatable offensive foul call and that one was against Antonio Davis when Ruffin's left foot was clearly inside the semi-circle, all the others seemed pretty legit.

There were a few in the first half, one on Hinrich when Haywood was not only inside the circle but was also moving that started a small run for the Wizards (they were behind by 6 at the time). It's a call they often make. Offensive fouls, travelling, backcourt violations and lane violations are among the worst calls (or no-calls, I suppose) in the NBA these days, though one expects them to make better calls in the playoffs.

DipSetVC- stop being a troll.

even the wiz players withdrew from these whining comments about the bulls defense though they were crying at almost every call that went against them

donyell marshall wasn't at game 5 just to be a spectator....

gordon wasn't getting shots because the wiz defense was giving so much attention to him

blame pargo all the way. woo hoo he hits some 3's :roll:. nice friggin' forced 3pt shot at the end (airball). better jump off that bandwagon before it falls off the cliff
