Wow, nice win. Didn't see that coming. Great team defense, solid games from our highly paid players, Deng and Boozer. Nazr stepping up with a surprisingly solid game. Our guards basically sucked. No other way to put it. Other than Nate, who does not suck but is frustrating. Other than Nate, those dopes shot 6-22. Starting to become clear why Marco isn't an everyday heavy minutes player. Interesting that Thibbs went with Teague over Hinrich when Nate had to leave. I guess he's seeing what we're seeing. Teague had some positives out there I thought, but until he develops a jump shot and improves his D (these should all happen at some point) is kind of a liability out there against good teams.
Turned the game on in Q2. Saw Nazr in and didn't think much of it for the first few minutes but then got concerned that Noah was in foul trouble. When he didn't start the 2nd half, I ran to my computer where i learned he was out with PF. Figured the Bulls were doomed. Very nice win.
