Good game. Gasol + Niko is a very good frontcourt for certain matchups. Most big guys can't guard Niko out on the perimeter and most big guys can't guard Gasol one-on-one on the block, and there are very few frontcourt tandems that can do both. We really have Brooklyn's number. It'll be great if we can beat Portland. Seems like we haven't had a convincing win against a really good team all season.
This is how I expect the Bulls to win games and how guys like Rose can get lots of rest. Play the scrubs when you have the big lead.
