Quotable:

“Ben Gordon had 26 points, and while I respect his game quite a bit, and understand that rookie Derrick Rose continues to be turnover-prone (after a not-very-turnover-prone rookie year), I don’t understand why Rose isn’t the go-to guy.

He made two bad plays at the end of regulation, and he missed several potentially game-winning shots during the regular season, but he also can get a good percentage shot when the play is there. And though Rose was bailed out with a call down the stretch, for this guy to shoot zero free throws as much as he was hit in Game 5 … pretty bad. The late game foul on Brad Miller? It could be called a flagrant, but I’m not going to blame the game on that call. Chicago had its chances.” — Kelly Dwyer agreeing with my earlier sentiments
