    Another slow start, but Thunder couldn't get too far ahead. The Thunder should be tired since they played a close one last night with heavy minutes for their starters.

    Hunter, BG, Hughes, Noc, Noah might be the weakest rebounding lineup the bulls have ever played.

    We're getting killed on the boards, 26-9. OKC ups their lead from 4 to 8 while Gordon sits.

    The "Not-Good" Tyrus Thomas has returned.

    He looked fine to me. 3 blocks in 13 minutes.

    Hasn't taken a shot yet.

    Maybe he should shoot from 22 ft instead.

    10:31 CHI - T. Thomas misses a 21-foot jumper from the left wing

    He's found his range:

    Hughes and BG get called out for selfish play. That's not a good sign.

    The BG one wasn't that bad, since he was trying to pass it to Rose at the end. Even if he passed it earlier, he still would have gotten the charge most likely.

    The proper play would have been for Ben to sidestep into a left handed layup. He just got hesitant and tried to make a pass too late.

    I don't see anything that resembles an organized offense on the Bulls' part.

    Um no, he absolutely faked the pass to go up himself. We're talking about the two on one fastbreak, the second one in a row where the guy with the ball should have given it up to Rose for a layup. It was either a selfish play or a dumb, rookie type mistake. And BG isn't a rookie. And neither is Hughes.

    I was asked if I miss Duhon. Well, Lindsey Hunter came in and the Bulls actually did run something that looked like an offense. Granted, it was against a bunch of scrubs that OKC had out there. When Westbrook came in, he schooled Hunter like 3 straight possessions and VDN had to bring Rose back in to counter. I think Duhon can hang with the younger guards, no problem.

    Why must Nocioni play so much?

    Hunter has been horrible all year. There really is no reason why Hunter should be playing. Larry Hughes or Ben Gordon should be getting point guard minutes before Hunter.

    Jeff Green's coming along. I was worried last year he was just gonna be a plain old bust, which I couldn't believe because he's always looked to me exactly how you'd want an NBA forward to look.

    Collison must have some sort of incriminating stuff from their college days on Gooden.

    The best part was when Funk mistaked Tyrus Thomas for Joakim Noah.

    Hughes has basically shut down Durant all Q4.

    The Bulls stopped running their offense again. I don't get why they want to get Gooden the ball in the corner like they did a few times. When they got it to him near the paint, he was unstoppable.
