The Knicks are hitting the links and the Bulls are going to the Eastern Conference Finals. Observations:
A splendid series for Dennis Rodman
This series felt like the full Dennis Rodman experience, and it was delightful. In terms of production, he averaged 15.6 rebounds (4.8 offensive) across five games and dished two game-swinging assists to close out Game 4 at The Garden. As a team, the Bulls were +39 on the boards (winning the offensive glass 84-45) in the series.
In the clincher, Rodman posted 11 points and 12 rebounds — relatively pedestrian by his standards.
