Wrote a preview, but my computer frooze before I could post it. Sorry guys. Big game tonight though. First real televised game of the year.
Bulls playing great defense so far. Lebron has been scoring with consistency, but that is to be expected. The Bulls are managing to force turnovers, and get rebounds. Ben Gordon has come out hot tonight, and is playing very well. Interesting to know he developed his tear drop shot to stop Okafor from blocking him during his time in Uconn. Bulls up right now Tyson Chandler having another sub par performance up to this point.
Had to lead throughout most of the 2nd, but then lost it at the end. They finished the 2nd of bad. Would like to see them gain back the lead by starting of well in the 2nd half.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting I-Miss-MJ:</div><div class="quote_post">man Sweetney is a walking foul is he never in foul trouble?</div> You have to take into consideration how undersized he is, and what is being asked of him. Due to the Bulls lack of post presence they give the ball to Sweetney, and ask him to be the man down low for them. And that is just not working the other team just sends their best defensive big man, who often ahs a size advantage, to cover him. Then he tries to do to much, and gets into foul trouble. Back to the game Tyson Chandler has stepped it up, hitting the last two offensive field goals for the Bulls. The Bulls have just dominated this contest tonight, and I believe anyone that is watching this game would agree they should be up by a lot more. There shooting has been astounding, and defense has been relentless. Only thing keeping the Cavaliers in the game is Lebron, and even though he has a lot of points all his field goals have been fade away jumpers, or contested shots. As long as the Bulls are not letting him drive to the basket I am happy. I wish the Bulls would find some sort of consistency to their season they play like this against a very good Cavaliers team, but then will come out another night, and lose to a team like the Bobcats.
Love the hustle Noc is playing with right now. He's already drawn a pair of charges, and than they just drew another. Great hustle by the Bulls so far this half, and that's why they've got that lead back up to 6.
Damon Jones is killing us from three point range, and our defense is not being allowed time to get set. The Cavaliers are simple pushing the ball off of turnovers and missed shots each time. The Cavaliers have lived by the three tonight. The Bulls need to get themselves together and get back in control on this game. I don’t think the Cavalier have enough to come back again. It would be a real shame to lose this game we played really hard took charges, shot better, out rebounded Cleveland. We need to get some more interior scoring options or we are going to struggle all season. The Cavaliers have gotten 32 free throws compared to our six. Sad part is this game is in Chicago, and we are getting no calls.
Bulls did great in the 3rd. And did horrible in the 4th. When I checked back on the game the Cavs were on like a 16-0 run. And Bulls eventually lost because of the play in the 4th. 108-100.
if it wasnt for damon jones' 3 3's in a row the bulls might have won the game, deng got most of his pts in the 4th and gordon did bad in the 4th he put too much arc on his shots and came up way short
