7:30 tip-off on CSN. Rockets without Yao, should be a good game. Let's get hot again. Tmac/Deng should be a great mathup.

I'll be flipping back and forth between the Bulls game and the BCS national championship.
Last time I watched a full BCS National Championship game was Peter Warrick's last yeat at FSU...

I promised my girl friend I would take her to a movie this week and of course the only day we are both available is one of the biggest sports nights of the week...
oh well... the BCS won't live up to the fiesta bowl, anyway.
Hopefully TMac has a quiet night

I love how the bulls just run throught the oppositions' team bus.
Jeez, McGrady is unbelievably good.
Posted by: SoxFan1 Jan 8 2007, 08:02 PM
Wow, Johnny Red Kerr and Stacey King simply burning the hell out of Mitch Robinson.
One of the lowest scoring quarters I've ever seen. 18-16 Bulls lead after 1.

Rockets making a bit of a run to start the 3rd. Thats an area the Bulls can improve upon.

Yeah i know. Im not sure how were in first place... but we'll take it.. Its been a very competitive league. No one has a big lead on anyone. It should be a good one come playoff weeks
Posted by: SoxFan1 Jan 8 2007, 09:19 PM
That was a terrible quarter. We need to have someone (Gordon or Hinrich, who have played like crap) step up.
Posted by: Bullies4Life Jan 8 2007, 09:20 PM
C'mon Bulls... 3 lousy Quarters... we cant play that way in all of the quarters... can we??

Id like to see Noc in the game right now
Posted by: SoxFan1 Jan 8 2007, 09:22 PM
This is eerily similar to the Suns game where we also started off lousy in the 2nd half. TMac getting hot, Deng looks poised to take over.

Nocioni is a solid hustle defender but he freaking gives too much help and his rotations suck. You would think he would learn.
Deng and freaking Gordon take the game over so we freaking let Noc and Sweets take the shots....

missed the game, children of man is pretty good movie btw, but just looking at the box score... this loss falls squarely on the shoulders of Hinrich... terrible shooting....
I blame the extra play during the offseason... I really hope Arenas or Redd can steal Hinrichs spot.

He was actually shooting quite well before the hamstring injury. I wonder if its that more than anything else.

Please stop that, comparing Gordon to MJ is flattery he has never deserved.
I was at the game last night and it obviously was a big disappointment. McGrady went from quiet to unstoppable very quickly. The defense in the late 3rd and entire 4th quarter was awful. I gotta question Skiles not playing the rookies at all and not playing Wallace much in the 2nd half when the Bulls were already at a height disadvantage.
Posted by: southsider2k5 Jan 9 2007, 09:03 AM
Well without any inside presence, there is no way the Bulls can win games without the guards hitting from the outside. Pax has to be burning up the phones trying to get a big man who can score.
QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jan 8 2007, 09:32 PM)

Stacey King actually did a really good breakdown on how the Bulls were not defending the double team properly off of the pick and roll. Instead of the screeners defender jumping the screen, he was hanging low and only hedging the screen to prevent the drive. What this allowed was for the ballhandler to move the ball to the other side of the floor, pulling the extra defender over to him, and then allowing the open skip pass across the floor to the open shooter.
Posted by: Chisoxfn Jan 9 2007, 11:25 AM
That was a very ugly game. Defensively we played very well, despite the Rockets missing a good deal of open threes (as the Bulls did much of the same). However, at the end of the game we should have been doubling Tmac.
BUt in the end this game fell on the Bulls for there lack of boxing out. They gave Houston way too many second chance points and paid for it in the end.

Just wanted to let you know that it was mostly like a joke bro. Gordon and Jordan sound somewhat the same, so when Gordon gets hot (like MJ) then its a good time to bring that up. But anyways, we all know that Gordon is no Jordan... Its very obvious...
I didnt like how Skiles coached the final minutes... It was obvious that Hinrich couldnt guard TMac, and he was just shooting over him. Plus, Hinrich was off the whole night. Skiles, you lost it for me son.

I know, still though, I dislike it. Gordon is very streaky and not a very good decision maker. It's more the fact that I don't like Gordon because of that. I have a hard time tolerating inconsistency of his magnitude. That said, this team does need him because he is anything but afraid to take a clutch shot. Most of the team isn't like that.
