I will miss the game, but will check from time to time to see how the game is progressing.

 

Bulls down 1 at the half in an excruciatingly low scoring game. Up 5 early in the 3rd. Can't complain I guess but not a captivating game.

 

Bulls up 8 after a Dunleavy tres? They have my attention.

 

A rather remarkable 3rd

 

Bulls up by 12 with 1:47 off a cutting Kirk layup? Wait...What?

and that Taj guy? Guy has some game. I remember the moaners and groaners about his selection. Noah too. That white kid from Kansas has a lot more game than the internet intelligentia gives credit. The guy is no Ben Gordon. That isn't a criticism.

 

Nice win. 89-77.

 

TB swingin' a big stick. I'm traveling with my wife and missed the game. Not surprised by the result. The Bulls are the kind of team that's tough to beat twice in a week.

Following an 89-77 victory over first-place Indiana on Monday night, Noah said the Bulls think they are capable of competing with anyone in the East, be it the Pacers or defending champion Miami Heat.
