I'm happy with Vinnie's rotation, though I'd liked to have seen Rose play more. I guess Hinrich was making shots like you don't expect him to, so he earned the PT. Bulls finished the game with the lineup I'd like to see most of the time: Rose, Gordon, Gooden, Thomas, and Deng. They put the game away and kept the lead.

How about Gooden? Thomas 15/10 plus 3 ast, 2 to, 2 stl in 42 minutes Gooden 13/8 plus 1 ast, 1 to, 3 stl in 28 minutes
The Celtics are going to be a much better test than the Bucks. If it's Jefferson vs. Redd to see who can shoot first and get the most shots up, the bucks are going to get the most lottery balls. Bogut probably could have had a big night against the bulls front court, but they didn't pass him the ball. I think two of his buckets were put backs.
I didn't like much of what I saw from the Bucks. Trotting out Malik Allen that early was kinda funny, but man, Skiles is gonna totally waste Bogut.
I agree with most everything here. Gooden played a very good game getting Bogut in foul trouble and keeping him out of the lane. I was still a little surprised that Gray got a DNP, but not disappointed. Tyrus finally is looking like a solid player. Thank God. I hope the Thabo experiment doesn't last much longer... he didn't do anything defensively to slow down Redd, and he didn't do anything offensively either.
If TT can take a step forward and Gooden can play like he did a few years ago I'm going to be really happy with our 4 and 5. I'd like to see 30 minutes each for TT, Gooden and Noah and 6 extra for Gray. Our TT, Noah and Gooden trio should be able to one of the better board crashing trios in the league.
Drew Gooden has been pretty consistent in his production since he entered the league. I've always thought he's been an underappreciated player. Guys his size have done less and gotten contracts twice as big. I advocated giving him a 4 yr, 36 million dollar contract when he was a FA. I wouldn't mind re-signing him this year if we can squeeze him in the budget. I'm curious, how did Tyrus look defending big guys last night? Does he look any stronger? I thought last season one of the biggest things holding him back is that most PF's could overpower him pretty easily.
Agreed. Unfortunately I don't think he's in the budget unless we make a couple trades. He's did a heck of a job on Bogut the other night. He's not really embarrasing himself tonight, though most everyone else is.
