Bulls vs Clippers

Can you take it two nights in a row? BG vs BG-lite Eric Gordon. Baron Davis vs Rose. Should be interesting. How will the Bulls rebound from last nights disappointing loss?

 

Clippers came out hot. BG-lite has two 3's already. Bulls don't look bad, but it could get ugly.

 

Gordon is a stud. His shot is so smooth.

 

Derrick Rose doesn't seem to have it tonight, for the second straight night. You have to worry that his good shooting early on was just a hot streak, and that he really is the shooter everyone thought he would be.

Vinny benches Rose early for his bad play, although unlike SKiles, Vinny will give him another go in the game.

Drew Gooden has bailed us out with his scoring in the early going.

 

Gordon was really taking it to Gordon in the early going, but recently, it's been all Gordon, as Gordon's been heating up.

 

Whoever is announcing the game on ESPN might just be the only announcers in the league worse than Neil Funk. They spent 2 minutes talking about how a 3 point game was a 2 posession game....

 

I'm getting to the point where I've almost had enough of Vinny as coach. For some reason he is using the time tested method of failure of having Gordon stand in the corner. Why not run him off screens when it's worked great? Also, the call to hold the ball at the end of the quarter, when the Bulls were having 24 second violation problems was idiotic. And of course Vinny's defensive schemes are complete garbage.

How much is Vinny making again? I'm sure it's less than a million, right? We really messed up not landing D'Antoni.

 

Neil Funk confusing Larry Hughes for Andres Nocioni. That's an all time low.

Rose/Gordon haven't played good this game, but the game is definitely winnable, so they have to dig down deep and steal away the victory.

 

it's not the defensive scheme as much as the players...

 

Ben Gordon is super clutch. You dream of the 4 point play when you're down by 4, but it never happens, until now.

 

Vinny better draw this game winning opportunity up for Gordon. He's on fire this quarter, keep feeding the fire.

 

We had Gordon open in the corner. That would have been much better than the lob.

 

We deserve to lose this based on Vinny's coaching. Gordon scored 15 points in the 4th quarter, yet he only has 1 shot in overtime. That is just asinine.

 

Deng is the silent hero in OT, hitting two big shots. Derrick Rose with the layup and free throw to give us a 4 point lead. Hopefully we don't blow this lead.

 

Derrick Rose played like crap and we still got the win. Have to be happy with that. Larry Hughes had an awesome steal to pretty much clinch the game.

Now we just need to beat Boston to get back to .500!

 

Funny, the bulls deserved to win last night and didn't, and didn't deserve to win tonight and did. Clippers could be a good squad if they played smart. But that last shot of regulation was probably a perfect example of why their record is so bad. Randolph had been dominating in the post (why was Noc on him?) and they ended up with a Thornton force from the baseline. Strange.

Nice that the bulls hung in for the win. About all you can take out of this game...

 

Would it be a really silly idea to play that Lindsay Hunter fellow just a few minutes a game?

Rose is looking more and more ragged by the minute.

 

And by the way, I continue to desire Marcus Camby and his Wilt Chamberlain like rebounding numbers on this team.

Too bad Hughes played like a guy who didn't want to be traded to the Clippers
