Bulls are horrible at closing out, sliped a 20 point lead without wade or shaq, but otherwise, ben gordon is amazing
Bulls got saved after Gordon commited a clear push-off but it went the other way, horrible officiating IMO.

Anyway, another nice win by the Bulls hopefully they can get 10+ games over .500 in January, and begin to show people why they are a favorite to come out of the east. As far as the game goes it's all about the Benjamin's, Gordon and Wallace had huge games.
I would have been pissed off if they lost that big lead. And with Shaq already being out and Wade getting injured early in the first, we should have easily won the game, but we let them back in at the end and we pulled it away. The rookies played very well, had a lot of dunks. Gordon was great and made the clutch shots at the end. Finally got 40! And Posey was at it again.
^^It wasn't as bad as the Hinrich thing, he just tried to prevent an easy layup, it was a hard foul and the ejection was justified, but I don't think it was anything personal.
Just saw the highlights Posey is a hack, every single year, damn I wish he would get suspended but it probably won't happen. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">^^It wasn't as bad as the Hinrich thing, he just tried to prevent an easy layup, it was a hard foul and the ejection was justified, but I don't think it was anything personal.</div> Just like when he tackled Hinrich last year?

If he gets suspended it should only be one game 2 at max, we've seen that happen so many times though, thankfully it didn't turn into a Knicks/Nuggets.
With Stern's new crackdown on physical play, Posey is going to get suspended. This video was shown plenty of times and the verbal jabs from both sides have intensified the issues surrounding Posey. He's going to get at least a 1 game suspension, because that type of foul leads to fights.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The time Luol Deng waited for the result of X-rays on his sprained right wrist Wednesday was troubling. He was worried that the wrist, the same one he had surgery on at the end of his rookie season, was broken. ''I just hope it's not as bad as I think,'' Deng said through a split lower lip he also suffered as a result of James Posey's flagrant foul with 7:16 left in the Bulls' 109-103 victory against the Miami Heat. ''I just finally strengthened my wrist. I worked on it all summer. It's pretty stupid if I hurt it on a play like that.'' Posey was ejected for hauling down Deng from behind on a fast-break layup attempt. Heat coach Pat Riley agreed with the flagrant-foul call. ''But it was not done with any intent except to stop the shot,'' Riley said. ''From what I could see, he got all ball.'' Actually, Posey didn't touch the ball as he slammed Deng down. ''It was a dirty play,'' Bulls guard Ben Gordon said. ''Lu's already in front of him. He's in the air. It was just dirty.'' Bulls coach Scott Skiles was asked if he was an advocate of players policing themselves on such hard fouls. ''What I'm an advocate of wouldn't be politically correct for me to say in the 2006 NBA, so I'll keep it to myself,'' Skiles said.</div> Read more...
