Oh man, I'm stuck at work right now but I'm all jacked up to watch tonights opening night game. I'm actually making it a part of my halloween plans as I am forcing my friends to ensure the game will be on at the halloween party I go to!!!

Now Lets Kick this season off right

Posted by: southsider2k5 Oct 31 2006, 01:58 PM

This ought to be a fun one. You know the Bulls feel like they should have beat Miami in the playoffs, and want to prove their worth to the world, as does Mr Wallace.

Posted by: Balta1701-B Oct 31 2006, 02:01 PM

And Miami is a lil' banged up (J Williams is out IIRC). And Miami didn't bother playing hard last year until they turned on the switch in the playoffs. And Miami gets rings tonight.

Time to start turning doubters into believers kiddies.

Posted by: Pippen Aint Easy Oct 31 2006, 03:15 PM

What time is tonight's game? We are on Mountain time now so only an hour behind Chicago. Is it 7:00pm CST?

Posted by: iWiN4PreP Oct 31 2006, 03:42 PM

mann cant wait
happy halloween

Posted by: Chisoxfn Oct 31 2006, 04:56 PM

Game starts @ 4:30 Pacific Time according to my DVR. That would mean 6:30 Central time. My guess is that it won't actually start till 5ish or 7 (central time).

Posted by: Balta1701-B Oct 31 2006, 05:22 PM

TNT's coverage starts at 5:00 Pacific time, so yes. However, there's introductions and a ring ceremony, so I ain't gonna guess exactly when tipoff will be.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:16 PM

This ceremony is kinda strange, maybe it's just me.

Posted by: danman31 Oct 31 2006, 07:17 PM

So does Miami have any shot now that they have their rings?

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 07:21 PM

Lets spoil their party! GO BULLS!

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 07:25 PM

Tip it up, bitches!

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:25 PM

Game time. Ben Gordon already getting to the hoop.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:27 PM

Good job drawing a foul and hitting 2 by Little Ben

DENG WITH THE FLUSH

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:28 PM

LUOL RUNNING THE COURT!

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:29 PM

Gordon freaking abuses Wade, then draws a foul that somehow wasn't called...

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:30 PM

Ben Gordon has officially broken Dwyana Wade's ankles.

How is that an offensive foul? Phew.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:31 PM

Nice ball movement results in a PJ jumper.

7-6 Bulls

DWade is a freaking flopping clown

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:31 PM

Wade kicks Hinrich and Kirk is charged with a foul. Nice.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:32 PM

I'm just pleased they didn't whistle Kirk for foul #1 in the pregame intros.

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 07:32 PM

That was sick. Too bad the ref was blind as spiff and misse dthe foul call.

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:33 PM

2 fouls on Shaq, Zo in the game.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:34 PM

Gordon has gotta finish those

Even when Ben Wallace isn't putting up numbers I just love his presence

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:34 PM

2 and a foul.

Big Ben with the SWISH on the FT.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:35 PM

Big Ben $$ from the line

Luol looking nice and active, knock em down.

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:35 PM

Deng owning the boards.

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 07:35 PM

Antoine Walker has to be the most overrated player in the last 10 years. I always thought he was garbage.

We are out hustling Miami on the boards.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:36 PM

10-1 Bulls run, Heat TO. Let's build a nice early lead boys!

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:36 PM

When you shoot up 10,000 3-pointers a season, you're bound to hit a few.

Posted by: danman31 Oct 31 2006, 07:37 PM

Great start. I'd hate to start 0-1 and a loss to a team on their ring night would be a poor way to start. Bulls looking good. I think Deng will have a breakout season and is playing like it so far.

Posted by: Hinrich=Ratings Oct 31 2006, 07:38 PM

Hinrich persuaded me to buy league pass.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:40 PM

Man seeing Big Ben in the preseason is one thing, but it finally seems real now. I'm giddy.

Gordon defends, does nothing...WHISTLE

Gordon looking dumb on both ends.

STFU Wade, how would that not be a foul on you?

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:45 PM

Another Heat turnover. Good defense so far.

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 07:45 PM

Chris Quinn? Holy cow? Did he get drafted or was he an undrafted FA?

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:47 PM

Gotta get a lead with Shaq and Wade out

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:50 PM

Freakin' Antoine Walker trying to take out TT.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:51 PM

TT misses a pair and Duhon misses a stupid 3. Not what we need.

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:51 PM

WALLACE WITH THE REJECTION! gordon misses.

lol

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:51 PM

Ben Gordon 0 for freaking 6

Posted by: danman31 Oct 31 2006, 07:52 PM

Welcome to the game Ben Wallace, but someone needs to hit a shot. Good thing Wallace is dominating now.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:53 PM

Tyrus Thomas is gonna need a lot of time to grow.

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:54 PM

He looks a lot different when he's not playing 3rd stringers trying to make an NBA team, huh?

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 07:54 PM

Niether team shooting well. New ball?

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:54 PM

No, he is awesome. Everyone told me I had to eat crow already...

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:55 PM

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:55 PM

Shooting...like...trash...

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 07:55 PM

ITS JITTERS!!!!!!!!

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 07:57 PM

Up 6 after 1, decent quarter. I would expect more with Shaq and Wade in some foul trouble, but I'm not too disappointed.

Posted by: BearSox Oct 31 2006, 07:58 PM

I missed practically the whole 1st quarter. How has everyone on the bulls locked? Big Ben?

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 08:02 PM

freaking refs, Wade has already complained more than once and Noc gets a T right away.

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:02 PM

Big Ben and Deng have played very well. Gordon has been driving but shooting bad.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 08:03 PM

HINRICH FROM WAY DOWNTOWN

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:03 PM

KIRK FROM WAAAAAAAAAAAAY DOWNTOWN.

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 08:03 PM

Coming on strong the 2nd quarter, like it.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 08:05 PM

TYRUS SWATS SHAQ??

Nice flop Posey

I <3 Deng.

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII Oct 31 2006, 08:07 PM

I can't watch the game because I'm writing a huge paper, but I just checked out the play by play on the internet and saw that.... and had to stop by here and say:



HOLY CRAP!
I'm forgetting more and more about aldridge every day.

Posted by: danman31 Oct 31 2006, 08:07 PM

It's fun to blame the new ball for everything, whether it really is making the difference or not.

Tyrus' swat of Shaq was sick. His athleticism is unquestionable. As bad as I feel he can be, his athleticism will take him a long way alone.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 08:10 PM

OMG TYRUS

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:10 PM

YEAH THAT.

Posted by: danman31 Oct 31 2006, 08:10 PM

Yeah that. Geebus that was nasty.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 08:11 PM

That play was even better than it looked. With the timing and such that goes into it, wow.

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:11 PM

Deng running the court with a nice outlet from Big Ben.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 08:12 PM

0-4 from the line, ew

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 08:13 PM

"Niiiiiiice."

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:14 PM

Khryapa with the 2nd chance for Kirk.

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 08:15 PM

It's too bad we can't shoot, this game could be over, lol.

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 08:16 PM

6 offensive boards so far, 20 overall to Heats 14

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:16 PM

Note to self: Do not watch Lebron James commercials, and definitely don't buy the shoes.

Fuggly.

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 08:17 PM

The one where the old Lebron says, "Michael never trained in a pool." is way off cuz Jordan used to try and run in a swimming pool all the time. I remember reading and seeing it in some of those videos.

Posted by: mr_genius Oct 31 2006, 08:18 PM

bulls

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:19 PM

Help defense =

KIRK AND 1!

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 08:20 PM

Miami actually does look overmatched right now, wow.

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 08:20 PM

Big test the 2nd half. Plenty of games last year where we were strong and had a big lead than after halftime, we got soft and let the other team back in the game.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 08:21 PM

BEN GORDON 4 MVP

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:22 PM

But he scored 40 in the preseason.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 08:25 PM

TYRUS THOMAS IS AN ANIMAL!

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:27 PM

Ben Wallace made a reverse layup.

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 08:27 PM

Pour it on boys...

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:29 PM

DUHON BACK TO BACK 3'S!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 08:29 PM

HOT

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:32 PM

This technical foul rule is junk.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 08:33 PM

Wow, If we played against Miami the way we are doing now (THE DEFENDING CHAMPS) OMG!

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 08:34 PM

We absolutely cannot take our foot off the gas in the 2nd half.

Posted by: Rowand44 Oct 31 2006, 08:36 PM

I expected us to have a better first half but what are you going to do.

Posted by: DrunkBomber Oct 31 2006, 08:36 PM

Man, I was telling my friends I thought the Bulls would win for sure but this is insane. They dont even appear to be playing that well. Theyre really goood.

Posted by: SleepyWhiteSox Oct 31 2006, 08:43 PM

Quite simply, they're looking very good.

Posted by: chilord Oct 31 2006, 08:46 PM

Gotta pour it on in the second... a good run early in the third and we will BURY THEM!!!

Posted by: DrunkBomber Oct 31 2006, 08:50 PM

I think they will. They just are a better team. Very athletic.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 08:51 PM

Yeah lets finish them out because last year we would get big leads and let our opponent back in the game. If were a championship caliber of a team that wont happen to many times.

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 08:55 PM

Ben Gordon is just bad tonight, awful.

Posted by: DrunkBomber Oct 31 2006, 08:58 PM

Nice put back by Wallace

Posted by: Rowand44 Oct 31 2006, 09:00 PM

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 09:01 PM

Kirk=Ch-Ching

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 09:03 PM

WALLACE IS AN ANIMAL!

Posted by: bulls91 Oct 31 2006, 09:08 PM

that is why we got him, Blue collar type of guy

Posted by: WHarris1 Oct 31 2006, 09:09 PM

Tyrus, you aren't allowed to shoot unless it's a dunk.

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 09:09 PM

Getting a little cold. This is where the D has to step up, make some stops.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 09:12 PM

O god, Tyrus is hurt! OMG

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 09:12 PM

Thomas went HARD into the back of the basket

Posted by: chilord Oct 31 2006, 09:12 PM

Du on fire with the treys tonight!

Oh S@#$ TT got banged up there.

Miami Heat = cheap shot artists, all of them.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 09:13 PM

I seriuosly hope that was just a stinger... Hopefully the pain will wear down after some rest. He is playing AWESOME for a guy that is listed as "Not ready" to play in the NBA.

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 09:14 PM

TNT, stop sucking.

Posted by: danman31 Oct 31 2006, 09:15 PM

Yeah, the thought of him shooting anything (shooting does not include layups or dunks) scares the crap out of me. Maybe he has range in the paint...ok no, more like the inner paint. That said, he plays solid D, is good on the break (will need to improve on FT shooting to make that fully effective), and can rebound very well.

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 09:18 PM

yay 29 point leads...

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 09:25 PM

Du is on fire..

Dwayne "Overated" Wade...

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 09:30 PM

Not sure how you can call a 25 year old with an NBA title and was Finals MVP overrated. Carmelo, maybe.

Posted by: ZoomSlowik Oct 31 2006, 09:31 PM

It isn't Wade's fault, he's got his 25 points on ridiculous shooting. He's just not getting any help.

He's done a lot more than that god Thomas, with 4 points and 5 rebounds...

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 09:32 PM

Heat=spanked

Posted by: chilord Oct 31 2006, 09:33 PM

Repeat--the Miami Heatless--

CHEAP SHOT ARTISTS.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 09:41 PM

Yeah Obviously im joking about overated.. I just hate Wade ever since we played them last year...

Holy cow, Sefolosha PWNED Miami.

Posted by: Tony82087 Oct 31 2006, 09:42 PM

The two kids are fun to watch.

Kerr with a shot at the Cubs!

Posted by: cubssuck1 Oct 31 2006, 09:42 PM

Thabo

Posted by: Brian Oct 31 2006, 09:44 PM

That was awesome by Thabo.

What a statement on opening night!

I keep wanting to say "The Los Angelas Lakers of Anahiem!"

Posted by: chilord Oct 31 2006, 09:46 PM

The only word for this game.

DOMINATION!!!

Posted by: SoxFan1 Oct 31 2006, 09:48 PM

SHA

LACK

ING

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII Oct 31 2006, 09:51 PM

doesn't have 2 blocks though....

lead up to 40 points now... good thing the starters are getting some rest tonight... Orlando is going to be fired up for their season opener...

Posted by: DrunkBomber Oct 31 2006, 09:52 PM

The fans are booing on ring night, classic. I love Chicago right now.

Posted by: danman31 Oct 31 2006, 09:57 PM

Sefolosha looked very, very good in scrub minutes. He had a couple nice jumpers, some nice moves, showed rebounding ability, and had a sick steal and finish.

Duhon was nailing his jumpers as always but the announcers said something of an injury...anyone got anything?

Wallace dominated on D, combine him with Tyrus at times and that's scary interior D.

Posted by: DutheDoduhon21 Oct 31 2006, 10:02 PM

du's got a reagrivated foot bruse

Posted by: TOMSPY77 Oct 31 2006, 10:07 PM

108-66!!

I love this!

Evreybody seems in high gear, and looking forward to tomorrow night.

Anybody got an update on TT? I had to pay less then stellar attention after that, so I'm wondering if he just got shaken up or if hes hurt.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 10:20 PM

OMG, Pat Boyle just said there would be an injury update on Tyrus Thomas and its NOT GOOD! OMG

God damit, he has a broken nose.... He will be out tomorrow. Gosh he is the funnest player to watch on this team.. Kind of takes the energy out of me for even watching them.

Posted by: whitesoxfan101 Oct 31 2006, 10:22 PM

Not surprising, I thought that was what happened immediately to be honest. Get him the Rip Hamilton mask, but that still sucks.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 10:24 PM

Yeah, he said he was going to Chicago Tomorrow to get fitted for a mask.

Posted by: whitesoxfan101 Oct 31 2006, 10:26 PM

At least he'll look cooler throwing it down with a mask on. The masked man.....woulda made a great Halloween costume.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 10:28 PM

Posted by: Oye_Como_Va Oct 31 2006, 11:34 PM

At least it's his nose and not a body part necessary to be an anwesome NBA player. He played really well tonight and I am really excited to see how he matures as a player.

Posted by: TOMSPY77 Oct 31 2006, 11:35 PM

I hope this does not affect his tendacy to be aggressive. I would have rather have had this happen later on in the year, if at all.

Posted by: Chicago Bulls Franchise Oct 31 2006, 11:39 PM

He is almost too agressive if you ask me. One of these times he will go up high for a rebound and come down on some dudes ankle..

Posted by: spencer958 Nov 1 2006, 09:25 AM

Great win for the Bulls!! One of many this year. Tyrus was fun to watch.

Posted by: GreatScott82 Nov 1 2006, 09:48 AM

Thomas has a broken nose. No big deal, he'll be back for game 3 of the new season. Awesome all around win! Now lets not settle on this one. Lets take 2 in Flordia by taking out O-town.
