Bulls slow Gasol, Kobe, fall to the supporting cast

[Rush]

There's an adage in sports, when going up against the great teams, take the great player out of the game and make the supporting cast beat you. The Bulls did that against L.A., forcing Bryant to pass the ball...

Shannon Brown had a real good game and Lamar showed some explosivness... Matt Barnes hit a couple threes and so did Steve Blake. They came to play and they played a good game.. Its hard to slow a team like that down

Bulls did a good job defensively besides giving up all those 3's

but if our bench or if ANYBODY from the bench would have been more productive then we probably would have one that guy, but just like very game we go on this scoring droughts in which everybody is throwing up weird shots or turning the ball over and the Lakers got hot and started hitting a bunch of 3's

Noah is the IDEAL match up for Gasol though, Noah is probably the Quickest Center in the NBA so it was hard for Gasol to do anything

I posted around the time we signed Brewer "He Defends Kobe As Well As ANYONE Can" and Deng also was giving Kobe problems with those LONG arms

I think we are OK though, need somebody to step up off that bench like Brown is doing with the Lakers, Korver has been extremely disappointing but I think he if anyone will benefit the most when Boozer comes back, Watson and Brewer need to become more consistent, they look good one game then go missing for the next 2-3 games

The bench play has to get a LOT better as far as I'm concerned. I shouldn't have to be gasping for air from a panic attack whenever Rose goes to the bench to take a breather. There has to be someone there to fill the void even a little when Rose and Noah are catching their breath on the bench.
