Game 2 Thread : Bulls @ Celtics 6:00pm CT *TNT*

[??? ??????]

Vinny has the guys prepared. No let down in energy like Skiles had them at times.

Our bigs, besides not grabbing the ball earlier, have been superb.

Two fouls on Rose now. Time for Gordon and Johnny Fish to step up.

 

[??? ??????]

Time to bring in Brad Miller. The Bulls bigs are the reason we're losing.

 

[??? ??????]

Lindsey Hunter better not be coming in. Gotta put Gordon at point guard if you're resting Hinrich, and bring in Tim Thomas.

Our bigs need to step up. Thomas missing an easy lay in, an dthey're simply not rebounding.

 

[??? ??????]

Ben Gordon and one. That's the second foul on Big Baby.

It will have to be Gordon being the star today, at least early.

Brad Miller draws the second foul on Kendrick Perkins. That's huge. Perkins is killing us on the boards.

Still not too bad a deficit with Big Baby and Perkins in foul trouble. Gordon just needs to get going.

Gordon for three! Celtics keep leaving him open. They're in trouble if he catches fire with that kind of defensive plan.

Brad Miller with the lay in. 24 to 17 now.

We have Boston reeling right now. Without Perkins, they're crap.

Paul Pierce just hits Ben Gordon, no foul. John Salmons with a bad fade away shot when Gordon was wide open for the baseline jumper.

 

[??? ??????]

Kirk Hinrich with three fouls. Lindsey Hunter in the game!

You aren't allowed to actually play defense on Rajon Rondo. Anything remotely close to defense is called a foul.

yep, we're gonna have to beat the refs too. We need BG7 to give the C's 40.

Refs are calling a one sided game and it's pretty blatant.

Rose is stewing on the bench. I expect him to dominate from here on out if the refs let him play.

 

[??? ??????]

35 to 29 at the end of one.

Look for Rose to come out like a demon to get the Bulls totally back in this game.

Should have been a 4 point game at the end of the first, but Thomas bobbled a fastbreak, and then made a bad pass to Salmons who was open after the Thomas bobble.

We're actually playing better than the Celtics in terms of execution. They just got multiple lucky bounces off our blocked shots. That probably won't ocntinue throughout the rest of the game. Celtics should be up more by how many fouls we have, and how many lucky opportunities they had.

We're still in this. Celtics seem to have some trouble keeping up with Gordon. And Gordon's been impressive defensively as well.

Yup. Rose just needs to try to look for Gordon when he gets double teamed. Celtics are leaving Gordon open for some idiotic reason. If we tighten up on the looseballs, then the Celtics will be in some trouble.

Lindsey Hunter didn't mess up at all in there. Good stretch from him.

Bullshit foul on Roses first. He didnt even touch Rondo.

 

[??? ??????]

Lindsey Hunter draws a foul on the other bum, Marbury.

Time to get Gordon back in. Hunter is no good.

 

[Newskoolbulls]

Man I cant believe we are only down 4 after Big baby made us his bi***.

 

[Newskoolbulls]

7 blocks by us resulted in 8 pts for celtics

 

[Newskoolbulls]

Down 2 after two TT free throws.

 

[??? ??????]

I can't believe Vinny Del Negro is outcoaching Doc Rivers and Tom Thibodeau so much so far in this series.

Hey Vinny, how about bringing these defensive schemes to the regular season enxt year?

 

[Newskoolbulls]

Great block TT.

 

[??? ??????]

Brad Miller for three!

Bulls lead 36 to 35!!!!!
