Damn, Kirk needed stitches. His face is starting to look like a hockey player. If he isn't careful he could end up looking like Neal Funk when the season's over.

It's hilarious to me that they don't call a foul on Miller when he just grabs at Ray Allens arms to get the ball when Allen is on the floor.

I mean they never call that foul, but why is it if a guy has possession on the floor you can drop the elbow and kick him in the balls and not get a foul called.

The game has slowed down. We need to slow it down and keep composure.

 

[dougthonus]

I got to give it up to the Boston crowd, they're insane. Energizing the team whereas the Bulls crowd is only energized if the team does well.

bye bye ray ray!

 

[dougthonus]

Wow, that's going to kill Boston.

 

[engies]

Bye bye Ray! hold on bulls !

 

[Diddy1122]

Give Rivers a T already!

I disagree. I personally think Bulls fans are normally cool. I obviously missed this playoffs, but I remember 05..NOCHI-ONI....NOCHI...ONI......tear

 

[Shakes]

Yay Allen out, we can do this.

That was the best playoff game for the crowd since they've come back (by far), and I've been to all of them since 04/05. Thursday's game will be the first Bulls playoff game I miss in the post Jordan era unless I break down and buy some tickets on ebay.

Ray Allen was a +13 Net +/- in the game. Glen Davis was the only other guy with a positive +/-. That should tell you how much of a blow losing Ray Allen is going to be.

Come on, play hard for 5 more minutes and get out of here with the win.

 

[mlewinth]

****! here it is...terrible shooting...here it comes..

 

[dougthonus]

Allen wasn't having a great game, but like Gordon he creates such a threat to occupy your defense. Without the threat we can really lay the hammer down on rondo / pierce.

 

[dougthonus]

Hopefully Kirk is ready to go again.

 

[Diddy1122]

WESLEEEEEEY!!!!

 

[dougthonus]

Salmons again delays on the shot for the catch and shoot, waits for his man to close and then shoots.

 

[dougthonus]

Looks like the Bulls last favor from the refs was tha tfoul out of Allen based on that Salmons drive a couple plays ago.
