Defense not as good in the 2nd quarter. 47-41 Bulls lead at the half.
Big Ben with 5 points, 7 boards, and 3 swats in the 1st half. |

Honeslty, in terms of his on-the-court performance, he hasn't come close to earning the money yet. The nubmers actually say he's one of the least effective regular players in the NBA right now; the Bulls are actually better with him off the court than on. He's had a handful of games where he just takes over, but they're too few and far between right now. I don't know if its the lack of another big man or age or general malaise at having moved on from Detroit, but he's way down from last year.\ Hopefully he picks his game up for the playoffs. The Good news tonight is that the Bulls held the Mavs to under 28% shooting in the first half. The bad news is the Mavs made up some of the difference at the line, but that's the defense we need to see the rest of the way to be at the top at the end. |

That sucks, if he could really be all that he could be, our team could take the East easily. |

You know a team has cranked it up on the defensive end when they give up a 27% clip from the field in the first half, and after the 3rd quarter, that number has gone down 1%.
Josh Howard is 1/15 from the Field. Dirk is 4/16. The defense came to play tonight. Now they need to finish the job. The Bulls are also outrebounding the Mavs by 9. The only thing keeping the Mavs in this game is turnovers and free throws. |

Is it just me or are the refs refusing to call fouls on the Mavs?

That's the kind of thing I'd expect to see more on a game in Dallas, but I'm not watching the game anywhere but online. |

The Bulls look pretty good, but I'm still scared they will blow a lead here. Dallas is too good to not have another run in them. Gotta love being able to hold them below 100 (barring a miracle or a billion overtimes).

This team can be scary good when Ben Wallace and the Defense show up.
Held the Mavericks to 31% shooting. That's pretty darn impressive. |
