We are just dominating the boards on both ends of the court. Ben Wallace just stuffed the **** out of Walker!
how much time u think sweetney is gonna get this year w/ thomas and nocioni both coming off the bench b4 him?
<div class="quote_poster">babybulls Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">how much time u think sweetney is gonna get this year w/ thomas and nocioni both coming off the bench b4 him?</div> I honestly don't see him getting many. Looking at Skiles rotation this first quarter, I don't expect him to use Sweetney that much (5-10 minutes), and I expect him to use Tyrus sparingly (15-20 minutes).
Miami's getting pretty sloppy with the ball and for the Bulls, they're converting fast-break opportunities with it. Miami needs to get their offense to stay in the game.
Tyrus Thomas had a very nice swat on Shaq. He also ran the floor well which allowed Deng to get an open shot (the defense collapsed down on Thomas). I'm loving this team defense we are playing. We have Brown and Wallace on the bench yet we are still playing great defense.
Ben Wallace and Tyrus Thomas are controlling the paint thus far. I don't think Shaq has scored more than two points. Tyrus and Wallace both have at least a block thus far. Wallace is showing some nice passing ability out of the post as well.
I'm enjoying this complete butt whipping Chicago is handing out to the Heat. 57-28 with about 30 seconds left in the 1st half.

Scott Skiles played the entire Bulls active roster that first half. Can someone tell me the point of putting in Thabo for 2.2 seconds? Haha, I guess he just wanted to be able to say he played everyone. I hope we let Thabo get some time in the second half.
Well, it's not pre-season anymore, so Miami has no excuse for their piss-poor play. The additions of Ben Wallace and Tyrus Thomas has really been holding it down on their end stopping Shaq, and controlling the paint. As for the other Bulls, they're creating turnovers, creating open shots, and just controlling this game. 59-30, wow.
The only negative about the Bulls tonight has been Ben Gordon. He was 0-6 in the 1st quarter and shot just 1-7 in the 1st half.

He missed a couple easy shots, and got cheated out of a call on that one play in which he got stripped going up to the basket. Anyway, I'm not too worried. BTW: Anyone notice Chris Duhon's shot has gotten wayyy better! Anyone else tired as hell of all these Dwyane Wade commercials?!?!
What i am impressed by just looking at the box scores is that we're getting to the line consistently. We're beating Miami to the line 24-15 times. Also bringing in Thabo for 2seconds is so stupid what the hell is Skiles doing there....
