If there was ever one game where we needed to dig deep this is it. As a lifetime Bulls Fan I can honestly say that this has been the most exciting first round series I have ever witnessed to date. No disrespect to MJ or anything he did but this has really been something special. Make us proud fellas!!!! Do it for Red and Norm!!!!
IT IS NEVER OVER UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IT IS!!!! GO BULLS!!!!! |

No disrespect to MJ or anything he did but this has really been something special. Make us proud fellas!!!! Do it for Red and Norm!!!! IT IS NEVER OVER UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IT IS!!!! GO BULLS!!!!! I like the Bulls chances! No doubt you have youth vs experience but with 7 OT's in 6 games the Bulls youth gives them an excellent chance to take game 7: 1. Age: Pierce 32, Allen 33...after 7 OTs in 6 games these two are the backbone of the Celtics but they're tired. Pierce couldn't catch Noah on that tremendous stea...and he was trying HARD. Allen hit 51 pts but can he do it in game 7? Hmmm...you can't count on it but it's definitely a factor! 2. Ben Gordon shot 4- 14. He'll not do it in game 7...I look for Gordon to be HOT!!! Hinrich also shot 4- 11 AND THE BULLS STILL WON. Salmons pulled up the slack! 3. Bench play: The Bulls bench has outplayed the Celtics bench...Hinrich and Miller are much better than Scalabrine, Marbury, and T. Allen. What to worry about is the Bulls...at Boston...in a game 7...with that crowd!!! The Bulls cannot let the Celtics jump out to a big lead and they must play deliberately and within themselves early Will Vinny have them MENTALLY READY! Will Rose...who seems to NOT wanna dribble drive much, go hard to the hole to get Celtic fouls, and will Salmons play like he did last night? The Bulls are definitely younger and stronger...They're gonna have to dig deep and be DETERMINED! - The BIG two of the Celtics have been in a grueling series and I believe they're tired. The Bulls MUST make them work HARD for every shot. - Tyrus Thomas recovered nicely after getting ahead of himself traveling a couple of times, he's gotta play within himself! He and Noah MUST be ready defensively!!! I think the Bulls win by 3...97-94...AT THE GARDEN!!!! GO BULLS!!!! |

It is all going to come down to Boston's shooting and the Bulls defense.
When Boston won, they shot .488, .481, and .490; When Boston lost, they shot .421, .434, and .394. In these close series, those few points are the difference between wins and losses. I also like our chances because there is no way Allen goes off for 50+ again. |

I have this feeling that every time Hinrich touches the ball he is going to be booed. Many Boston fans think Rondo did nothing wrong and Hinrich was out of line.

I think we've figured out Rondo for the most part. We are better off when he's not in the paint. He only had 8 points. The one thing we haven't done that I'd love to see in game 7 is forcing him to turn the ball over. He had 0 turnovers and 19 assists, that's way too big. We need to force him into atleast 3 or 4 turnovers in the next game.

I mean seriously you'd think the NBA would at least try to show the fans that what Tim Donahey says isn't true. Just more BS from the NBA front office. |

Well if we have one thing on our side it's Karma. It bit the ass of the league when they suspended Howard it will do it again with this decision. All it is is a money thing, with Rondo in the game it gets the viewers more interested. The league wanted the Philly Orlando series to go to 7 games because that = more money! Like I said, Karma is on our side and that's a great thing to have

The last time a 7 upset a 2 seed in 7 games was New York against Miami in 1998
