Agreed. Ford is seriously underrated on this board. Nobody seems to remember all the clutch shots he hits, but are more than willing to knock him down after a poor showing. Everyone on this board is blaming him for our late-game collapse, while failing to recognize that NOBODY on our team, not Bosh, not Parker, not Peterson, not Bargnani, was able to do anything about the Bulls' zone defense. In the last 3 minutes, Ford was the only player on our team to generate ANY kind of penetration of that defense, and it still resulted in contested 3's for Parker and Peterson. The two times we sent it to Bosh, he was paralyzed by triple-teams, and Bargnani simply passed the ball off to someone else. Also, Bosh's game winning free throws were only made possible because of TJ's initial drive. Blame TJ all you want, but he's not the only guy out there. The biggest reason the Bulls came back late is because their defense stepped up and the Raptors did nothing about it.
