bulls -2. Please dont let big baby get 20+

I think what has to concern the Bulls as the scene shifts to United Center isn't just the outstanding play of Boston's point guard Rajon Rondo, who had a triple double in the Celtics' Game 2 win, but the lack of rebounding & second chance points. The Bulls didn't fare too good in either area, and I thought Boston seemed to control the tempo throughout Game 2 Monday night. It would be great if the Bulls won tonight, but even with a undersized frontcourt, the Celtics are still a pretty good road team. I think Doc's guys find a way to win tonight. I hope I'm wrong, but Boston gets a 3 point edge to take home court right back.

If the Bulls don't win games 3 & 4, they will not win the series. They need to make it back to Boston up 3-1.

Douchebag, this is a golden opportunity with both Kevin Garnett & now Leon Powe out for the Celtics for the Bulls to seize control of this series. I just don't see the Bulls taking advantage of a golden opportunity...

I believe, and hope to be proven wrong, that the Bulls will need to win another game in Boston to win this series.

As for tonight, I keep hearing that Boston needs to keep this game into the 80 or low 90's. Unless the Bulls just come out with a poor shooting performance, of which I would probably fault them more than credit Boston, that isn't going to happen. The stats don't lie in regards to Boston without Garnett - they are not very good defensively without him, and further proof should be the 1st two games of this series.

To me, it's pretty simple. I would expect this to come down to the 4th quarter again. I expect another close game, and if the Bulls can keep Pierce in check, I like their chances.

Yup - They hardly ever crash the boards on offense, and I think that would've made a huge difference in game 2, which pisses me off to no end - We'll see what happens the rest of the way

DA BULLS
Paul Pierce isn't the man he used to be.Get defensive rebounds and run,run run it right down their "last year champs" throats! ps let Vinnies old man back on the bench.

Bulls by 20.

What's with all the empty seats??

Missed FT's, no D, turnovers. Glad PP got 2 fouls.

Stop passing it to Noah in the post. Just pretend he's Ben Wallace or something.

I do not like the way this is looking right now.

piss

For being a veteran, Brad Miller sure makes some stupid mistakes... like doing everything except GRABBING the f'n board. Quit dribbling the loose ball, and quit trying to tip them.... JUST GRAB IT!!

Miller couldn't be any fucking worse

Now he throws a pass out of bounds. What the fuck is he doing in the game?

Paul Pierce is on his game, and no answer for Rondo.

Hinrich seems to be he adjustment Del Negro has made since about the midway point of Quarter 1 for Rondo, but Rondo has that mid-range jumper down cold, and Hinrich is playing about 5 feet off him because they don't want him driving into the paint.

Ben Gordon has not been seen from yet.

Bulls may have to just hang around here, and steal it in the 4th.

When he's not playing well, it looks very bad because he's so slow and deliberate.

Holy shit friggin Noah gets hit in the numbers and drops another pass. Lookin like Marty Booker out there.

Noah and Thomas have both fumbled the ball several times right under the basket.

This game blows.

Brad Miller has to have naked pictures of Vinny's wife. How the hell is he still in the game?

Glad to see Rondos ankle is bothering him so much

Horrible end to the half. As bad as the Bulls played in the half, I was somewhat optimistic that it was about a 12 point game. Now it's up to 19 with a minute to go....

I still got faith.

New rules:
-Never throw the ball into Noah in the post
-Never throw the ball into Miller in the post
-Never let Salmons put the ball on the floor when there's more than one guy within 10 feet of him

Also, it might be a good idea to attack their guys that are in foul trouble.

I don't think they will give up or anything like that, but they really need a 17-5 type push to start the 3rd.
