I'm surprised Paxson has not inserted Gordon into the starting lineup. It is one thing to not want to mess up someones rhythm, it's another to deprive them of an opportunity they deserve. I feel Gordon should be starting right now. He deserves another chance to prove himself, and its not like Thabo has done anything incredible to earn a starting spot.
Good first quarter, Bulls take a 27 - 18 lead. Thabo leading the way with 7 points Deng with 6 Gordon with 6 Duhon with 5 assists Wallace with 5 rebounds. Blur - I agree, I am surprised that Gordon hasn't been placed back in the starting spot, even though he is more effective off the bench.
Anyone from the Chicago area know if Kerr is back to his play by play slot? I haven't caught a game being called by the local color analysts in a while, but last I remember he was out fighting an illness.

Not entirely sure though.
Solid 12 point lead at half. Hopefully we can keep the momentum and not have one of our patented slow starts. Gordon with 17 Deng with 13 Wallace has 8 boards Duhon 7 assists
Five point lead now with just under three minutes remaining. I just hope we can hold on. When a team has the fire power of a Phoenix Suns you know they are going to make a run eventually. Gordon with 32 now.
Tell me about it, a lead against Phoenix is never safe. We have done well to keep them under 40% shooting.
Tied up again by Amare after the Barbosa miss. Shooting foul on Nash, just don't let it be Ben Wallace.
