Best coaching move of the playoffs: Thibodeau putting Derrick Rose back in the game in the 3rd quarter even though he had four fouls. As Steve Kerr astutley pointed out, taking a guy out to save him from fouls is as bad as the guy fouling out! Coaches don't take that risk enough.
Possibly bad coaching move though not germane to the result: Thibodeau leaving Rose in at the start of the 4th quarter with the Bulls cruising and up by 20. Why not keep him in reserve? Again, totally didn't matter to the result but could have.
Beaten up at the school yard award: The Hornets, unable to stop the Lakers from getting endless offensive rebounds and second chance points.
Holy shit dunk awards: Kobe, twice.
Stop the crazy: Today was the return of conventional wisdom in terms of playoff matchups.
