Well another exceptional game by chicago. The Bulls Starting five played above the rim for the first three quarter getting the ball to Eddie Curry frequently. But the Bulls started out the Game torching from the arc as Duhon hit his first three shots from deep seting up Currys inside play. with duhon hinrich and gordon in at the same time the Hawks were forced to respect the 3 which allowed Curry to display his dominance. Curry and Hinrich began making it a 2 player game setting curry up for alot of dunks and baby hooks. halfway through the 2nd the hawks felt defeated. The felt the frustration of the Bulls inside outside game and were forced to foul the Bulls freuently but the bulls hit their freethrows. Atlanta then began to get alot of techinical fouls because of the frustation of trying to defend Curry. Well the bulls led by as much as 42 points but let the Bench play the entire 4th to give the Bulls their 3rd win in a row, a 20 point victory.
As mad as I am my team lost I'm happy that Chicago won, there finally winning again this is the first time they've been so good since the Jordan-era. Gordon, Deng, Hinrich and Curry are a great young core to build around now the bulls shoould just get some veterans coming off of the bench and they'd be set.
This team is certainly for real. They beat the defending champions on the road and then destroyed a horrible team(sorry Hawks fans). Playoff teams should be capable of hanging with other playoff teams and destroying non-playoff contenders and the Bulls are showing this. There's no words for how excited I am about this team. Even if this season comes to a crash I'll look on to the future with a smile.
Some of my friends are Bulls fans and some arent but at the begining of the season the consencous among them all was that the Bulls would suck again this year . I was the only one who said that I thought that they had a good young core that had the potential to be a good team. They have exceeded even my expectations for them and I couldnt be happier . I am 34 years old and a Bulls fan for as long as i can remember and i dont remember being this excited about any Bulls team. I know you are all like but what about the Jordan era teams ? To me at that time we all knew that those teams were going to be great and that they had a shot at a ring from the begining of the season. This team came in with the cloud of doubt hanging over them from the start and didnt let it get them down played strong basketball and are one of the hottest teams in the league ! Bulls fan or not you have to respect that. comming soon?
