Through the 3rd quarter: Dwight Howard - 15 points and 18 rebounds. Ben Wallace - 0 points and 5 rebounds. When is Noah going to get a chance?
im at work watching the gamecast. looks like they are falling apart and jameer nelson keeps drawing charges.
Yeah, Jameer drew offensive fouls on Gordon and Sefolosha on consecutive possessions and just tried to get one on Hinrich. Officials didn't buy it though.
I guess Wallace had a pretty decent sequence there. Stole the ball from Dwight and then got a putback.
We get a break and face a really tough team that's in a funk at home. We go down 5, and Gordon hits a clutch 3. Nelson answers with a 2. Gordon answers with a layup. 34 points for him.
Gordon looks exceptional. I have to eat a little crow, Wallace has made some huge plays in OT. He's not completely useless.
Can the Bulls play against Keith Bogans every night? The Knicks team last night and then these guys must be the worst backcourts we'll face all year.
Am I biased/crazy or does Boylan allow a bit more individual play? I don't think Gordon ever would have had the guts or confidence to pound the ball for so long when Skiles was coaching.
Gordon with a tough clutch shot to give the Bulls the lead. :37 left, Magic call timeout to set something up. Wallace has given us just 2 points, but 13 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocked shots. Howard's had a monster game though, 17 points and 22 boards. The D must have been ok, because he's shot only 4-11.
Nelson obliterates Duhon off the dribble and the Magic take the lead. Gordon takes the Bulls across the court and calls a timeout.

It's the right move

Bogans isn't a terrible defender. He's certainly not making Gordon work on defense, though.
