    yeah....there's always hope. deng plays Durant pretty well. Kirk has been a good defender so far on point. Noah's been our best player. Can Rip handle Martin? And can Boozer carry his weight against their front court? Those are the guys who need to step up

    Not a bad game. Just not enough shooting...

    Bulls are really missing Rose in games like this.

    The bench is killing us. Just 14 points total.

    Decent enough games from Deng and Rip to make the game winnable. KMart off their bench outscored our entire bench.
