Luck of the bounce and whistle tonight...

Every loose ball and call has gone your way tonight it seems. And if we could have hit a couple more wide open looks we normally make, this game is different. Deng is actually playing better than I’ve ever seen him play before. HIGHLY underrated IMO.

sigh

tell your pg to stop falling down and try playing basketball.

this game is also different if Rose's foot is okay
Don't act like your team has gotten calls

For example rondo not getting reach in fouls and garnett hacking on every post up situation

hasnt*
Close these dudes out
wily veteran move

i hate that shit

BREWER CLUTHC!?!?!?!

wowwww

Stacey voice

RONNIE BREWWWA!!!!!!!!!!!

he said

“chicago’s finest brewwww” that’s his new thing

BREW!
Booze is an underrated passer
Another reason why he should be posting more
He's great at faking a pass too
Pierce mugged, no call.
Pierce initiating all of the contact

good no call

dude you're not welcome here.

take this to celticsblog.

NOt mugged at all,

just initiating contact and the defenders’ standing ground.

Yeah Jo bitch
jo getting in pierce's grill again

just like 2009

Yeah I'm convinced. Jo's getting there.

Great D.

Noah beasting!
Fuck yeah Jo fuck em
Noah simply needs to hit that shot
Or not shoot it.
They're playing a zone

Pass up the wide open shot so someone else can take a contested one?

EXCELLENT D NOAH!!!
wow

this is defense. this is DEFENSE.

Joakim!

you’re out of the doghouse again!

So glad to see a pre injury last yr type game from noah

Easily his best game this yr

KG

GET THAT WEAK SHIT OUTTA HERE

Hi Jo!

We missed you.

according to stacey Rivers was calling for timeout and Rondo just ignored him and took that horrible shot

FUCK RONDO HAHAHAHAHA

WOOOOOOOOOOW.....

These refs are making it painfully obvious who they want to win tonight guys. This is flat out criminal.

Bad calls both ways, so stfu.
Don't bite on trolls :P
were this called objectively

Rondo would have about 5 techs for flopping

Choke on that backspin Rondo

no Heimlich for you

They've made bad calls on both ends
no

this is bulls defense. see anything familiar? this is how you guys used to be, then you got old.

dude you're not welcome here.

take this to celticsblog.

calm down

let him have his say

He's welcome

Just don’t expect to get sympathy whining about the refs on the enemy blog.

Yeah,

a whopping 8 FTA discrepancy. Criminal.

A C's fan bitching about the refs

GTFO

I'm still nervous.
i think u can breath a little

I think thibs is gonna motivate these guys to finally finish em off.

maybe I just need a drink :)
noah baby

Not the best but the best I’ve seen this yr..got faith in u bro (swigs beer)

noah finally back

we needed this…we really needed this

expecially while missing CJ and Rip
this will definitely boost Noah's confidence
Sorry Asik. Back to the depths of the sea for you.
dont say that.
Damn it Asik. Back! Back. Don't let me get the stick.
wow, jus seeing these ugly sequences just shows how important rip really is
Well, I am glad our defense has been top notch, because our offense sucks more than Bieber.
lol

I gotta get me a benny mask

What did Thibs lace Jokim's chronic with today?
Today we have 5 starters and 5 finishers

imagine when we have Rip

Wanna facial by Rose on Ronddo
There it is!
DAGGER DROOOOSE

FUCK RONDO

WTF WOWOWOWOOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jordanesque.
HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT?!

Jordan-esque…

Rose= Awesome

understatement

LOL WTF

Pierce just fell down.

holy shit

that is MJ STYLE

BTW, 3/4 of the Celtics will need AARP cards after this season.
That was an incredible shot
garnett with a dick push on noah
lol wtf was that?
That was awesome
That might be the most insane finish of his career.
Derrick Rose is the best basketball player.
so glad hang time is back in chicago
So guess what happen???

DERICK FUCKING ROSE

hey sexyscottish, hope you have bootlegs of the '08 finals, because your team aint even gonna make the playoffs this year
Wanna make a bet??
50$
LOL...

your buddy can’t stick up for himself?? If he’s man enough, I’ll bet him that if the C’s don’t make the playoffs I’ll never come to this blog ever again, even when you guys are playing Miami or the Lakers. WHEN they do, he has to get a permanent ban from here. IF he’s man enough.

Wow- what a gambler .. /lolsnark
Again,

why do you have to jump in?? Let him speak up for himself.

oh and sorry i couldnt reply right away

I was too busy enjoying the bulls destroying your weakass team. sucks that they gave you even a bit of hope, huh? sorry about that.

ooh so you're a badass now 'cuz you can make a bet online huh?

I say that you guys aren’t making the playoffs because your gm made terrible decisions, and you never had a plan past winning in ’08. now you guys are paying for it.

i see the bucks leapfrogging you guys. sorry.

So your answer to my bet challenge is NO??

Thought so. And it’s funny how this Bulls team has yet to win anything with its’ core group of players but you act like you are the defending champions. Are the Bulls a great team?? Yes. Can they play great D?? Yes. Are they still reliant on Derrick Rose too much?? Yes. Does a PG dominated offense ever have success in the playoffs?? No. Be real happy with your REGULAR SEASON win. It won’t mean a damn thing if you can’t win the title.

You will not get out of the first round. THAT I'd bet on.
this is what rose does best

and dont worry, bulls have options besides rose. We got rip and deng and thatll be huge. Please, stfu and stop spewing bullcrap.

Deng kinda...

Rip Hamilton?? Don’t get your hopes up. For Rip Hamilton to be as effective as possible, he needs to have a pass first PG who can get him the ball coming off the screens he runs around. Rose isn’t that style of a PG. If Rose isn’t attacking the rim, it takes away from the Bulls #1 strength. And don’t say something ridiculous either about Rose being some sort of great passer. He’s adequate but he’s a dominant scorer. Rip would be better with someone like Rondo, Nash, D-Will.

As for Deng, as I said earlier, he is HIGHLY underrated. But be honest, do you think he sniffs the same calls or non-calls against someone like Lebron, Melo, Durant in the playoffs that he got away with tonight??

Rose draws 3 defenders every time he drives...you say Rip won't benefit from that?

Don’t act like you know this team or basketball, because your ignorance is showing.

LOL stop it...

I know more about the Bulls than you do. You can’t even accept the truth about your team, even when I give them some credit. Rip Hamilton isn’t close to the player he was when he was an all-star in Detroit. If you guys talk trash about superstars like PP, Ray, and KG being too old and falling off then what do you think Rip will look like?? Hamilton is already injured. And for someone who relies on his ability to run off multiple picks and screens, that is not a good thing.

I have said nothing against your team. You do not see them for what they are - old and fragile.

We only expect Rip to hit open shots and keep the ball moving. We are not delusional like yourself; we know it’s all about Rose. The thing is…we don’t underestimate him. He’s going to have to lead us, hitting enough difficult shots to draw even more attention. After that, Boozer, Deng, Rip and others will have to hit the easy looks.

Rip will not be playing 30 minutes a game; I’d be suprised if he averages more than 25mpg for the season.

i think thibs will prob give him around that range dude

i think as the season goes on hell cut down the minutes, but it should be around 25 regardless

Chauncey Billups is not a pass first PG so please stop talking.

And Deng won’t look this dominant against those guys because they can actually move, I’m pretty sure Paul Pierce is dead.

the bucks are gonna knock you guys out of the playoffs.
first round exit at best

Just admit were better

Right now you are yes.

But when you get EVERY call all game, I would hope you can beat us. And every crap shot you threw up went down tonight while we had guys like Ray and PP miss wide open J’s. Wasn’t our night.

Violin is playing a mournful tune
You must not have watched this game.
or maybe pierce

Is old and out of shape. And maybe we played good defense on Allen. And maybe just maybe you guys should rebuild now.

It's ok to cry bruh

let it go…

tell ur fuckin piece of shit rondo stop reaching in all the time and getting away with those plays

otherwise, stfu.

Play of the season!
sad... used to love Garnett

and he seems to get pettier and pettier as he ages…

total MJ move.. incredible..

with a sore toe?

OK

Deng…Urlacher- Leader of our defense
Jo…Briggs- Deng’s #2
Brew…Tim Jennings- Solid overall players
Rose…Peppers/Forte- Freak of fucking nature best in his position.shows up when needed, more than 50% of our offense.
Booz…Izzy Idonije…Both not great but solid/ just solid

Why make bears comparisons

I mean if you do we’d be all hurt all year and miss the playoffs

Or at least would never win and spend the next 30 yrs talking up mj

Nice, but please no more football, at least for now.
seriously, just when you think he's done it all

he does it again. this kid is just fucking unreal

ha!

great line by Gundy….

"...the game should just stop and we should honor him."

JVG on Rose’s shot.

lol

Booz said “wow” in the slo mo

Block from Noah!!!
Rondo tried

You CANT BE LIKE ROSE!

rondo...just blows.
He sucks and blows

Scientists should study him

Now you call that foul? WTF
beautiful ball movement!
Deng Jumping on Boston's hearts

Love it

To top it off

Rondo ejection please

Rondo is going to cry so hard in his pillow tonight..

he will shed his human form and eat a kitten

wow

everyone touch the ball there

That was a PERFECT basketball play right there.
DENGEROUS
I like that.
i can't take credit, i thought it's what stacey said
great 3 by deng

but even better passing by our bigs. dont rip on boozer for that.

deng gone that boy goood
start the scal chants!!
Now that is a team play
Jo wants his double double
Ha. Garnett trying to be an ass and swipe the ball

Boozer just ignored him.

Well this games over. That Rondo is a little bitch.
can we get cartright or longley

To come down and teach noah some better moves?

rondo went scoreless in the 4th

unbelievable D by rose

I should have put Deng on my fantasy team
I love it when Rondo pouts
Da White Mamba
LOL SCALABRINE GETTING CHEERS IN BOSTON!!!!!!

LMFAO!!!

everyone loves him. it's not hard to see
dude they were chanting for him at the game i went to last year.

it was hilarious.

WHITE MAMBAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ring the bell...

for the Butler…

Please Scal the celtics

salt in the wound!!!

they like him though.

i wish we could bring in thibs

THIS IS JUST TOO PERFECT
Scal getting cheered on.
LOL SCAL WITH THE HUSTLE PLAY
crowd is chanting for scal
Chanting Scal lol
look at that focus

Looks like dave chappele’s bill clinton bit from his stand up..

oh shit they brought in bill russell
Scal still being cheered
I hope Scal scores this time
Assholes care more that Scal is out there

than their shit team losing..
Perfect..

Yeah

Boston fans don’t seem to be that bright

come on, they've got nothin left.
Damn it Lucas. Pass it to Scal.
LOL noah was looking for scal on that one

hahahahhaa

Thibs>Rivers
We all know who REALLY coached that finals team...
yeah, sometimes I wonder if Doc Rivers wouldn't be Vinny like w/o thibs
Sometimes I wonder if any of you actually watch basketball.
we can't all be gods of wisdom like you
he is a god of wisdom.
Vinny doesn't call plays, Doc is one of the better offensive tacticians in the league.

It’s a pretty bad comparison.

wow

I was kidding about being VDN (nobody sucks that much and at least Doc is a leader) but we sure don’t share the same vision about Doc

I don't think Doc is a great coach but he's solid. Everyone loves to shit on him and Spoelstra.

But you have to be pretty good at your job to manage all those egos and get them to play at a high level.

well, vinny "calls" "plays"

in that the ball is inbounded at some point.

Amen to that

They can’t rebound or play D for shit now…..interesting…=)

Oh yeah, Chicago sure tore it up offensively. 88 points!
Huh?

I’m talking Bostons D all season….not based on 1 game. And it was more us shooting ourselves in the foot than Bostons D

Yall sound foolish

do yall see how old kg and pierce look right now, phil jackson wouldnt get much out of them right now.

Ha please

Don’t compare Phil to Rivers <——THAT sounds foolish

Thibs with the statement

Noah and Booz finishing the game

he was sick of hearing the questions i think
this is the biggest part of it.

both guys played well. look past boozer’s lack of offense, he did an excellent job off the ball and also on pierce defensively.

in fact

with korver asik and taj in we almost blew this game.

we put noah brewer and boozer back in and everything steadied back.

gotta earn the minutes
true

if the starters play like this we have a chance against any team

he did good

But as the 2nd highest player I still expect more…still nice game..if he can atleast be this decent we can beat miami

if noah plays like this on offense and defense

boozer does his thing in the first half to get us started and doesn’t make any mistakes defensively

then yeah, we are set and we can beat the cHeat.

Just think, without CJ and Rip. Options coming up on Monday.

yep...

Now lets gooo streaaakiiinnn!!!

i already watch these games naked, so alright.
lmao
boozer with 5 assist and some really nice pass
i love our coach
Wow this Boston interviewer is bad.
What a game by Deng
Remember when the Bulls were always playing from behind a few years ago?

These 20 point leads they can’t hold… those are a big luxury. The other team spends so much energy coming back they have no chance to win. This is a strong team.

deng has to make the all star team after that game.
Rose thanking God almost as much as Lucas did
Rose practices insane layups
in his sleep,

then he does it during games

Sarah Kustok is still blushing!!!
i hope she accepted that dude's offer

that was alpha as fuck

Did they say something tonight??
OMG Sarah!

I luv her….hehe

did anyone see that dude

who asked sarah kustok out at the blackhawks game

i would have done the same in his place. god shes so hot

yeaaaaaaaa..... but she has some, um, family -issues-....
Thibs is the man...

this was a game of starters and they earned their keep!

as always Thibs shows he knows very well what he is doing

he is right so often it’s annoying, lol

the bulls are like goldberg in wcw lol

who’s next?!?!?!

cant wait to see this next game

love this denver team

yeah i'll come back watch the ending

time to hit the gym and celebrate.

hopefully come back to watch them blow another last second game
only can make this night sweeter

Is seeing the heat lose another cloae game tonight

it was getting annoying staying up at 12:30 for those idiots

but going to sleep watching them blow game after game was awesome.

they are so much better without melo

And the Bulls still dont have all their offense

CJ and Rip out…

And those two mean a lot more to the team than most realize.

Just keep winning, baby

Well cj for sure does (I think he's a top 1-3 backup Pg)

We presume Rip will add a ton but too early just yet

Though on paper his shot making passing and running all over the court should be huge and is totally ignored nationally

Brewer has actually been playing some damn good ball in his place.
this is the scary part my friend

jus think, with rip, our offense is soooooooooo fluid. Rose job will be breathing alot mroe easily in the 4th Q with healthy Rip

deng HAS to make the allstar game, right?
yeah but what's up with the signature?
that's deng for ya

too big too fast too strong too good= Too slow, too jerky, too quirky, too Deng!

He should

but having fans vote is just stupid

thats just for the starters

doesnt matter for the bench, all picked by coaches. deng is a total coach’s player

and if thibs gets ASG coach it’s a lock.

I still hate the rule
me too.

should just be who won last year, like baseball.

start voting then
Spoelstra should be fired, hes a video technician for crying out loud
what a game...jus so relieved by this win

proud of my boi noah. Deng doing well tonight as well Rose doign his job. Everyone in the lineup stepped out. Great job by the starters.

there's got to be something wrong with noah.

his jumping ability is just not there.

his jumping is ok

his timing is a little off but improving

i don't know, i saw one instance where there was no one touching him

and he just didn’t get up like we’ve seen him do before. i hope i’m wrong.

I thought he was pogo-Jo tonight

missed some tip-ins he normally hits but otherwise ok

he was really good tonight...
We have not played out best ball yet

And we still have the leagues best record. Sky is the limit motherfuckers!

exactly, jus imagine when rip comes back with CJ

if Noah can do what he does with Booz putting in a solid effort, the bulls are gonna be super dangerous.

hell yeh

the league better watch out the stampede is coming

No I've gotta focus on winning this one day fantasy basketball thing...it ain't looking too good
Great game by LU

and Rose had been playing pretty average until it got close out time and thats just what he did, Rose is truly becoming a great closer. Cant forget about noah, he played his best game in a while.

I’m so glad he’s getting those reps as a closer..he’s making me not worry anymore

Well, Nice game at all
a 1PM game on Monday?

….that fuggin blows!

always on MLK day.
yeah, we always seem to get memphis
i thought it was usually the knicks
Why would they play the Knicks on MLK day?
what, is that weird or something?

i just thought it usually ended up that way. i remember a lot of early knicks games.

we played the knicks early on xmas last year

but memphis is the one we get on mlk day. guess they want to give the bulls a history lesson lol.

it must not have been MLK day then

but don’t the bulls and knicks play a weird home and away back to back a lot, where one of the games is at like 11am?

He was killed in Memphis.

You’re thinking of those weird home and homes the Bulls and Knicks would play sometimes. That had no real significance.

I live in Memphis, so don't think I'd miss the chance to see the MVP back here!

I will be chanting “M-V-P” every time he touches the ball

tweetland is impressed
McGrawDHBulls Mike McGraw
A few more good numbers: Boozer 5 assists, Noah 4 blocks, Brewer 5-7 FG. Unusual for Bulls to have just 8 bench points.
CSN asking if Bulls should sign Sheed as our 5th big

what say you, BaB? I say sure, Rip will keep him sane plus we get an enforcer.

absolutely

if anything, it’ll make our team more interesting to watch

yes. we need a crazy enforcer
I'd love the signing.

He would be great in that role. Tough dude.

yes, sheed is a solid player when it comes playoff time

esp off the bench, he can be helpful on defense.

Why not?

Who would be better?

theres always leon powe
He's like 6'7

I’d prefer the emergency big man is actually a big man. Someone who could fill in at Center or PF in a pinch.

i know, was screwing around
did power ever had a good game other than those vs LAL?
he was pretty good in Boston

I’m not really sure why he’s out of the league when some clearly inferior players still have jobs.

Didn't he have some pretty severe knee injuries?

He’s already undersized, without any lift don’t really see a place for him.

unfortunately he's had knee issues since his freshman year in college

he’s a real good person away from basketball, does A LOT for the Oakland community

dennis rodman

stacey king
bill wennington
bill murray
bill daley

HELL YEAH

always dreamed of having Sheed in Bulls uniform

Wow

George karl lost a loooooooooot of weight

cancer will do that to you
Go nuggets!!!

Beat the shit out of that team from florida

Tonight's Take Aways

-Thibs hates people questioning his shit, is still playing Noah and Booz for a fifth quarter

-Derrick Rose is basketball’s most exciting player

Miamis gonna get Tebowed
gallinari is reportedly gonna get an extension

hopefully this pumps him up tonight

how the hell the knicks give up a guy like him

plus felton? personally, the knicks got fleeced.

but they got carmelo!!
bold statement time

within 2 years, gallinari will be > melo.

but, but

ballhog headband thinstache

lol dumbass sam smith

sad that asik and gibson didn’t play, cracked up thibs with that question

is thibs the allstar coach for the east?

Cause we had the best record last year.
are we SURE we want Deng to be an allstar

it's whoever has the best record at the break

or whenever they announce it i don’t remember exactly how it works. but we do have the best record in the east right now, so if we don’t lose it he will be.

spo cant get it again

so most likely it will be thibs even if we fall behind the cHeat

oh yeah, good call
That would be a laugh

Thibs ragging on all the players who play no defense in a game where there’s no defense.

he will be watching game film and trying to spy in on Wade, Bosh, and LBJ at the break
yet

he will still play deng 40+ minutes

Oh so Joakim Noah is alive. Good to have him on the team.

Boozer played decent, Brewer and Deng were awesome, Rose was pretty bad for 2 quarters but he gets a pass because he owned that 4th quarter without really breaking a sweat.

Oh, and Rondo is just too much. Maybe instead of learning how to flop, he should have learned how to shoot or learned how to attack the basket with something besides the Eurostep.

honestly, i hope rondo gets traded off and then he starts to suck nuts in his new team
Why

Once the big 3 retire he can languish in Boston with nobody decent to pass to. Then people can measure the difference.

seriously, how does Rondo (fuck him) get so much respect?
he's a good player

he’s just nowhere near Rose

He gets zero respect. After he flopped for that call to end the 1st the refs basically trolled him for the rest of the game.
that's true

I was really more referring to media, though now that I think about it even that’s cooled off in the last year or so

televisions respect and fear him.
Ah, there's a Tebow jersey
I hate the Heat...
That's OK to leak out like that LeBron...

In case he did miss that shot…

that is absolutely sick

thats why the heat are scary

OT (sorry, this is very off topic): should i trade of nash for ty lawson and billups?
eh, why not
yeah, i was thinkin the same
it may be a wash.

nash is nash. i like lawson, and who knows chauncy may blow up if he gets enough minutes.

hes been playhin on avg about 32 mins a game

and the man still get it done. Currently, im first place (money league) and look for that big jackpot!

Isn't that a no-brainer? Nash doesn't really look that great and Phoenix is really struggling to score.

Lawson is a stud and Billups can still rack up 3s and assists.

We need an around the nba thread
Yeah- Heat/nuggs actually is looking interesting so far
i like this mozgov
yeah he is really good
OT: DraftStreet is harder than I thought...

so much luck involved

especially for one day
you really have to do extreme scouting

and look at matchups and determine past performances of each player (esp this week)

I had Nash on my team

and they announced after the cutoff that he wasn’t going to play because of a previously unannounced injury.

Oh well

lawson doin damage
I love Denver lol

they are all so full of hope and grit. It will almost be a shame when Tebow gets stomped on tomorrow

I want Tebow to win, because FUCK THE PATS
hell yeah TEBOW TIME

is gonna derail the pats

this country's going to hell in a handbasket.
not if they do what tebow does

lol

Denver is relentless and I lovovove Nene.
Can't defend or rebound for shit but he is a BEAST at scoring in the paint.
I feel like he's more of a PF than a C,

but you’re right, his rebounding isn’t all that good.

Lawson barely touched the rim
bulls are crazy

when they are on they WIN
when they are off they WIN
when they start with a big deficit they come back and WIN
when they give up a big lead they dont implode they focus more and WIN
this team is just awesome, every situation every game i think and they think we will win.
GO BULLS

As long as they don't play the warriors
