Hopefully one of my Bday presents will be a playoff win for the Bulls

Posted by: RME JICO Apr 20 2006, 04:06 AM

The Bulls have a great shot to upset the Heat. As long as they can contain Shaq, I think their speed and youth are going to be tough for the Heat to match.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 20 2006, 06:51 AM

How exiciting is this? To go from 29-39 to into the playoffs as the 7th seed is incredible!

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 20 2006, 08:04 AM

All i gotta say is lets hope for the best, the heat wont be easy and wade and shaq are going to play every minute, our big men are the key to winning this game, stop shaq and we should win

Posted by: WHarris1 Apr 20 2006, 02:35 PM

Of course they can't play the early game when I'm going to the Sox game that night.

Posted by: syxx Apr 20 2006, 05:39 PM

While it will be tough to make it past Miami, I don't think it's impossible...

Miami is a pretty inconsistent team, if Wade doesn't put out 110% the team will struggle to beat a team like the Bulls who come at you every second of the 48 minutes...

I feel I am a bit too optimistic...but I have to have hope...or else would someone really be a Bulls fan these days?

Posted by: Timoperezrulez Apr 20 2006, 07:13 PM

get either wade or shaq with 3 fouls in the 1st half and we should be good

Posted by: BuLLzDoMaIn Apr 20 2006, 10:37 PM

I feel we can beat the heat if we been playin the way we have the last 17games. This team has really come together. I beat my boy whos a heat fan $50 Bulls take out heat.

Thats how much i believe

Posted by: soxfan101 Apr 20 2006, 10:42 PM

For the heat their x factor is Antoine Walker... if he is producing than we are screwed since we have to deal with Shaq/Wade already. If he isnt we got a real shot.

Posted by: Tony82087 Apr 20 2006, 11:22 PM

Hopfully they give some updates at the game. They are pretty good about it at the Cell. I will be there Saturday as well...

Posted by: Chisoxfn Apr 20 2006, 11:35 PM

I don't think there is any reason not to have hope. Of course buying into Sam Smith and the fact that this team will be in the conference finals, well thats another story.

By the way welcome aboard

Posted by: Chisoxfn Apr 20 2006, 11:36 PM

If Shaq elevates his game in the playoffs we have no chance. If he doesn't we'll be able to really focus our attention on Wade and potentially knock off the Heat. We WILL NOT be swept.

Posted by: Chisoxfn Apr 20 2006, 11:36 PM

Welcome aboard. Great to have another Bulls fan on board

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 21 2006, 06:27 AM

Wow. I know I don't have that much moxy...

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 21 2006, 06:28 AM

I don't think there is really room for Walker on the floor if both Shaq and Wade are OK.

Posted by: Brian Apr 21 2006, 01:08 PM

Gotta win 1 of the first 2 @ Miami, may as well be Game 1.

Got tix for Thursday at the UC. First game for me of this season. Got to 2 or 3 last year.

Posted by: Brian Apr 21 2006, 06:17 PM

Barkley not giving Da Bulls a chance in hell. Just basically said "The Heat will beat Chicago easily..." and that was that. Other experts think we will give Miami match up problems with the way we are scoring recently.

Posted by: bulls91 Apr 22 2006, 08:50 AM

we did that aginst the heat the last time thanks to noch and shaq had to be on the bench till the second half.

Posted by: BuLLzDoMaIn Apr 22 2006, 09:33 AM

Well today is the day.

Lets kick some ass guys

LETS GO MOTHERFUCKING BULLS
EATSHIT NETS

Posted by: bschmaranz Apr 22 2006, 09:45 AM

Bulls... 175

Heat... 41

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 09:47 AM

Damn this is fun. Its all gravy from when we all had the Bulls buried...

Posted by: iWiN4PreP Apr 22 2006, 09:47 AM

Gordon : 76 points, 12 rebounds.

Posted by: Brian Apr 22 2006, 09:59 AM

That's just the half time score.

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 11:06 AM

Ok now lets predict our final Score for game 1 !!! Im going with the heat in a blowout, 102-86. But I still believe the Bulls have a shot at winning this.

Also Here are my stats

Hinrich 20 points 7 assists 4 rebounds
Deng 16 points 5 rebounds
Sweets 10 points 6 rebounds
Chandler 2 points 9 rebounds 2 blocks
Noc 18 points 7 rebounds

Posted by: Da Bulls 88 Apr 22 2006, 11:13 AM

Go Bulls tonight!!!

Posted by: BuLLzDoMaIn Apr 22 2006, 11:32 AM

geez thats not good. Plus you didnt do bennys stats

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 01:04 PM

lol ya but I just think we will learn a lesson after this game and we will win the series after this tough loss IMO (If we lose) Obviously I hope we BLOW THEM out but its just a prediction. BTW Ben Gordons stats: 14 points 4 assists

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 01:06 PM

Wade will get 34 and 10 rebounds. Shaq will get 24 points 12 rebounds.

Posted by: FromWayDowntown Apr 22 2006, 01:09 PM

You mean, Bulls 256, Heat negative 100, my friend!

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII Apr 22 2006, 05:07 PM

Ok... now I have to cook up that polish sausage


too bad I don't have any pork chops in the freezer


Da Bulls

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 06:25 PM

tie game 14 to 14 early in first quarter

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 06:26 PM

sweetney owned shaq on that fade back.

good thing walker isnt hitting the 3-ball so far

Posted by: danman31 Apr 22 2006, 06:27 PM

Good start. Mark Jackson was saying how the Bulls need to stop the early rush from Shaq inside and they've done that so far. They got the early home court rush over with, now they gotta grind out a good game.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 06:31 PM

Bulls are sticking close early which is key. They seem to play their best basketball as teh other team wears down in the second half, so keeping the game within double digits early is key. If they can stay within a posession or two like now, they will win this game.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 06:33 PM

This is a fast paced game, i think good for the bulls to slow shaq down but we are missin layups inside

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 06:37 PM

20-16 Heat with about 4 minutes to go in the first... Wade only 2 shot attempts.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 06:42 PM

26-24 Heat at the end of 1.

Duhon with a nice play late to take a charge on Wade. Bulls looking sharp so far. No jitters to speak of, they look like they think they belong.

Posted by: BuLLzDoMaIn Apr 22 2006, 06:42 PM

As long as we are still in it im cool. Let shaq get off its ight just dont let others get off

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 06:43 PM

gordon is so smooth.

and i laugh because if deng could make shaq fall without shaq faking it... my god, lmao. made me laugh there

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 06:48 PM

TERRIBLE shots in that stretch for the Bulls, Miami uses it for a 6-0 run to get up 34-27. Skiles calls a TO>

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 06:53 PM

Where was that foul on that Hinrich shot that led to the Payton fast break?
That has been just one of the fouls that the refs haven't called, pretty much all would be on Shaq + Wade. Get off your knees refs.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 06:53 PM

Miami is actually playing some defense during this stretch and the Bulls guards look lost. 36-29 Heat now...

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 06:55 PM

now 36-34 best game so far today

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 06:56 PM

Bulls respond with a 7-0 run to get back to within 36-34. Bulls really trying to run the ball a little more, and the older Heat team is looking either lazy or really tired. Nice gut check by the Bulls early on in this game to counterpunch after taking a solid shot from the Heat.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 06:59 PM

Hinrich is looking particularly amped today... Couple of bad shots, bad passes, etc. He looks like he is trying to play to fast right now, instead of letting the game come to him. RELAX kid.

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:00 PM

WHAT A PLAY TYSON. Hit this free throw!

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:02 PM

wow haslem thrown from the game

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:02 PM

UDONIS, HIT THE ROAD JACK!

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 07:03 PM

GOODBYE!! WOOT!

what an idiot

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:04 PM

Shouldn't we have gotten 2 technical shots? Or did he and I only noticed one.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:06 PM

no even though its two you treat it as one, get the shot and ball back

one technical goes on player and then as i stated above

Posted by: danman31 Apr 22 2006, 07:07 PM

The ejection hurt the Bulls. They lost a 3 on 1, missed the FT, didn't score on that possession, and pumped up the crowd. Nice.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 07:13 PM

now theyre losing... and noch is out... man.!

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:14 PM

this just isnt lookin too good anymore

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:17 PM

Hinrich better start picking it up, Deng needs more minutes, and Gordon needs to hit some 3s.

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 07:19 PM

Looks like I am right... it will be a BLOWOUT!! If we cant take the freaking lead when were getting almost ALL THE CALLS then we dont even deserve to be in the playoffs. WHAT MORE CAN WE ASK? Shaq and WADE have 3 FOULS Yet we still are getting blown out! Thats Bullshit man.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:19 PM

22-11 The Heat outscore the Bulls after Haslem throwing his mouthpiece at referee Crawford. It really woke Miami up, they lead 63-51 at the half. A LOT of points given up by Chicago in the first half, and ONeal looked really good and active.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 07:20 PM

or they need to find a way to stop shaq because nothing is working... and chandler and his fouls, come on man

gordon is doing all he can, he cant do much more than he already has. blame hinrich so far for doing absolutely crap. 4 points...

shaq has only missed one shot and it was a really stupid shot in the first place, we cant find a way to stop him

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:21 PM

i have a feeling we can close the gap our team is definitely capable of it

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:21 PM

You aren't going to stop Shaq when he is active like he has been tonight. Your only options are to deny him the ball, or double him and make someone else beat you.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 07:23 PM

well then we're screwed because theyve been getting him the ball, and if we try to get on shaq, it leaves wade open and he'll convert.. lose lose situation godddamnit

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:24 PM

You don't cheat off of Wade. You either cheat with who ever is playing PF or off of their PGs.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 07:25 PM

wade and payton are their pg's?
jay will is sg?

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 07:26 PM

Wade is a SG, he played PG his last two years but this year he is the SG. Williams and Payton are the PG's.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 07:27 PM

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
well whatever, either way we try to get shaq, they dish to another person, easy to make the basket. especially a 3 for antoine walker...

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:28 PM

J wil is better at the three than walker, id worry more about him, sweetney has done a decent job, just stick with whats been working all year and go with it

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:28 PM

Exactly. You make those guys beat you from the perimeter or let a guy like Shandon Anderson/Michael Doleac beat you. You have to double Shaq and make him work for his points.

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:32 PM

In the 4th, I believe we will be using the Hack-A-Shaq technique.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:35 PM

well here we go

Posted by: rangercal Apr 22 2006, 07:36 PM

way to start off our comeback ben!

Posted by: SoxFan1 Apr 22 2006, 07:37 PM

Just got home. Can someone give me a quick recap?

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:37 PM

Are you guys watchin on ESPN or CSN? ESPN has a little delay. I can't stand Walton's commentating, so I have switched to CSN.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:39 PM

Heat have really had the lead most of the game, its been a really fast paced game and Shaq has dominated the inside game and we havent done well in the paint vs him. Haslim was thrown out of the game for throwing his mouthpiece at the ref and the heat went on a 7-0 run after that and now weve caught up to be down 6. Hinrich isnt hitting his shots and we cant stop shaq.

Posted by: rangercal Apr 22 2006, 07:39 PM

I was on espn the 1st half , csn 2nd half so far

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:39 PM

Not a chance.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:41 PM

It was a 3 point game when Udonis Haslem snapped after not getting a foul call and threw his mputhpiece at the ref. The Bulls proceded to miss the technicial and the Heat went on an 11-2 run and 22-11 to close out the first half with a 12 point lead.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:41 PM

Jesus sweetney make the damn shot missed chances there

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:41 PM

Come on Sweetney, jesus christ. BRING IN LUKE!

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:43 PM

haha no, luke will get torn up by shaq, sweetney has the bigger body to defend against him

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:45 PM

Plus Sweets presents an offensive threat to make Shaq at least work a little on defenese....

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 07:45 PM

as much as I like Luke, he has no business being in the game

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:47 PM

good to see hinrich hit a 3

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:48 PM

lol it was a joke, but hey if things start to tank, might as well try.

bg7 hits a 3, and then Hinrich hits back to back 3s.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:48 PM

Back2back for Kirk!

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:48 PM

and then travels...gah.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 07:49 PM

Shaq picks up his 4th foul going for a rebound

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 07:50 PM

we have to hit the free throws

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 07:51 PM

GO AT SHAQ! Make him pickup his 5th foul, jeez.

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 07:53 PM

Jesus, were always RIGHT THERE but its IMPOSSIBLE for us to ever take the freaking LEAD!! OMFG

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 07:57 PM

Just don't let Tyson in for the rest of the game. He's useless. I was suprised he had a 2point play, much less a chance at a 3 point one. When is the quickest we could get that guy a ticket out of here?

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:00 PM

4 point game, its gonna go back to an 8-10 point lead soon probaly.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:03 PM

down by 5 going into the fourth quarter

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 08:04 PM

87-82 Heat going to the 4th quarter... Much better looking quarter for the Bulls. They are right there poised for the run. LETS GO D!!!

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:04 PM

beautiful spiff. gordon so clutch, it's unbelieveable. finally hinrich was able to do something.

and omfg who saw sweetney NOT get those 2 easy layups... one after the other.. wow, he pulled a chandler. cl_clutch 0

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:04 PM

noc is so pimp

and im glad that hinrich was able to actually DO something for once this game.

beautiful. we were down by 4 with possession, but oh well, i guess it happens ><

Posted by: rangercal Apr 22 2006, 08:05 PM

who pissed in your coffee?


We have the best closer in basketball, Ben Gordon. Plus Hinrich also has a hot hand going into the 4th. Expect to see shaq at the line a few times during crunch time. With all this said, I only worry about our foul touble.

Posted by: rangercal Apr 22 2006, 08:06 PM

I am getting tired of hearing that will smith song all week.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 08:06 PM

Its all right. The Bulls aren't a team that is going to put together a quick 10-0 run on a team. They are going to harass them into turnovers and bad shots, meanwhile knocking down some shots out of their set offense. This is exactly what the Bulls needed to do going into the 4th.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:06 PM

bahhhh i worry about chandler being put back in and flinging his arms all around and then getting stupid fouls.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:06 PM

at least its a lot better than what happened in the 2nd quarter. we actually saw the bulls become ALIVE here

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 08:07 PM

^^^^

Exactly. The Bulls live for the 4th quarter. Even if they are down a dozen at this point, they still have a chance to win it.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:08 PM

GAH GORDON AGAIN!!! OMG!!

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:08 PM

gordon is on his game down 2

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:08 PM

Was I right though? It's been the story of this game so far. Don't get me wrong though, I am hoping for it to change.

Gordon is money right now though.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:09 PM

god i swear shaq is a such a p.o.s. so cheating that no one can defend him without getting a foul.

the guy fouls non-stop himself but since hes such a superstar they wont call it and Sgosringoiad vgnoiadth
GAM TIED!!
GAME TIED!!

BEN GORDON!

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:16 PM

I really hate fouls like that, jumping into the defenders. They need to change that.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 08:17 PM

It was a good foul, Du was out of control.

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:18 PM

Damn Chandler.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:18 PM

oh boy dwyane takes it into his own hands heat up 2

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:18 PM

spiff wade is feelin it....

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:19 PM

Noch needs to knock Wade on his ass.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 08:19 PM

We have a Dwayne Wade sighting.... Heat go on a 6-0 run to take the93-91 lead. They have got to get into Wade's body again or he is going to kill them.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:19 PM

o man that'd be amazing

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:20 PM

well spiff, wade hit that last shot which was insane... and the bulls threw up some lame shots the last couple minutes. and chandler god, i wish that somehow he could do something down low rather than foul and give the heat free points!

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:22 PM

Du with the 3. C'mon guys.

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:23 PM

Shaq is abusing Ty.

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:23 PM

Crap.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:24 PM

damnit!

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:24 PM

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:25 PM

KIRK BABY!

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:25 PM

cool no charge.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:26 PM

what the fish is chandler doing not boxing out anyone!!?!?!? hes just standing there and letting the heat get the rebounds

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII Apr 22 2006, 08:27 PM

I'm convinced the only person more drunk then I am is Bill Walton.



BULLLS!!!!

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:27 PM

come on, no freaking charge again? wtf.

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:29 PM

NOCH BABY!

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:30 PM

chandler fouled out. what else is new, stupid foul too

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:30 PM

sweetney in now chandler fouled out, he needs to be the force downlow and stop shaq!

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:30 PM

maybe thats is a good thing?

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:31 PM

Bulls down 2 and Chandler fouls out as usual.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:31 PM

just foul the spiff outa shaq, makes it an avg of 1 point each time the heat get down to that end.

man noch, so fucken clutch. that was so sweeet

Posted by: Rowand44 Apr 22 2006, 08:31 PM

Just break Shaq's legs, it's the easiest way to stop him.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:31 PM

ahahah yeah.

he sucks from the line though, so thats an advantage for us. just gotta stop wade for christs sake

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:32 PM

That isnt always the best solution.

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:32 PM

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:34 PM

Gordon fouled on the drive we need to make these gordon

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:35 PM

omg this game is going to give me a heart-attack. so frickin close.
5 on Shaq.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:36 PM

dumb play hinrich

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:36 PM

Hinrich needs to stop getting stuck in the air. He usually is good with not doing that.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:38 PM

goddamn what do we do, go for quick 2 and foul? or go for 3??!??!

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:38 PM

give it to gordon for the three or whoever is open

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:38 PM

TAKE HINRICH OUT AND GIVE GORDON THE GODDAMN BALL. I MEAN HE ONLY HAS 35 POINTS AND IS THE MOST CLUTCH PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE OR AT LEAST TIED WITH KOBE.

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII Apr 22 2006, 08:38 PM

Win or lose... I can't complain...


Nothing but heart... I love this team.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:38 PM

well if we go for 2 wade will get the ball and drain both so the 3 is inevitable right now

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:39 PM

I just hope it doesn't come down to us having the ball with 2 or 3 seconds left and down by 3, because Skiles will fish that up by having Gordon in bound the ball to Malik Allen or some stupid spiff like that.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:39 PM

ill complain. im tired of this spiff, throughout the game there were a lotta fouls the heat committed on the bulls that werent called. especially on duhon and gordon.

sometimes its ridiculous.

spiff haslem has been out the entire time too, we should have had this game! if haslem stayed in idk...

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:40 PM

HORRIBLE FUCKEN PLAY

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:40 PM

not good

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:40 PM

well thats game...

1-0 heat... man

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:41 PM

WOW what the fish was that.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:41 PM

was bullshit is what it was

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:43 PM

Kirk choked again in the clutch like he usually does. Noc shouldn't have been given the ball. I guess this team has some secret hatred towards Gordon. And where the f is Deng?!

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:44 PM

I am not one to be happy about an injury, but I really hope Wade is out for at least game 2.

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:46 PM

We can't complain. I thought the game was called good. Refereeing is the last thing this loss should be blamed on.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:46 PM

goddamnit

Posted by: nitetrain8601 Apr 22 2006, 08:47 PM

It's only a cramp.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:47 PM

Well now the game is officially over, good game by the bulls, they put up one hell of a fight, we should do well next game and fix some things.

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:47 PM

yeah where is deng is right?!?!?? he should have been in instead of malik allen

Posted by: CubbiesFan07 Apr 22 2006, 08:48 PM

gay as hell... im going out now. damnit! ><

ill talk to you guys later.

good game though, we did a great job of coming back, and should have had it. night guys

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 08:48 PM

Wish it were his ACL

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:48 PM

who knows, whoever is hottest in the game should play

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 22 2006, 08:49 PM

You hate to lose this game, but I agree 100%. Great effort to comeback.

Posted by: TeaLeafReaderII Apr 22 2006, 08:49 PM

the heat are a better team... at least tonight...


I don't think you can fault the effort of the Bulls tonight... they played hard...


I'm a little upset they didn't give gordon more looks... but I trust skiles...


they showed up tonight... Miami knows this isn't going to be easy.

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:50 PM

Lets win Monday, and bring it back home to the UC.

Posted by: ChWRoCk2 Apr 22 2006, 08:50 PM

This is a good test for the bulls, paxson should see after this game and series what the weaknesses are for the upcoming year and who we should draft and sign.

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 22 2006, 08:51 PM

^ Our weaknesses our pretty obvious, we need big men.

Posted by: The Gladiator Apr 22 2006, 08:52 PM

may I ask why? what the hell has he done to make u trust him? When is the last time hes done the right thing in CRUNCH Time! I know more about what has to happen late games then skiles does and im sure most of u do to. You give the ball to BEN GORDON!! NOT Andres Nociofucki, or Kirk(Give up the Game) Hinrich.

Posted by: soxfan101 Apr 22 2006, 08:53 PM

I was pissed when i saw Nocioni take that shot. Is it just me or does he seem to take the final shot or a shot like that a lot at the end of games. When we have a weapon like Gordon just wish we would use it more.

Key for game 2 is for Chandler not to foul out.

Posted by: WHarris1 Apr 22 2006, 09:05 PM

WHY DOES NOC ALWAYS TAKE HUGE SHOTS LIKE THAT?

Nocioni is not a clutch shooter in the league of Ben.

Give Ben the fuckin ball

Posted by: WHarris1 Apr 23 2006, 07:58 AM

I just realized Wade shot 1 less FT than our entire team.

Gotta love it.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 23 2006, 10:32 AM

Gary Payton was so far up Ben's ass, Gordon didn't have a chance to get the ball on any of the posessions within the last minute of the game. Payton played perfect denial defense, and they had to go to the 2nd option in Nocioni.

Posted by: bulls91 Apr 23 2006, 10:42 AM

they could have went to duhon or hinrich noch has really struggled the last half of the year and that woud not have been the best option. i would have gone with hinrich what was he 2 for 3 choices that skiles thought that would have been better.

Posted by: BuLLzDoMaIn Apr 23 2006, 10:43 AM

Noc just messed it all up taken that 3 pointer

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 23 2006, 10:45 AM

Hinrich and Duhon are horrible from distance. When it comes down to it, the next best 3 point shooter we have on our team is the guy who actually led the NBA for a while in 3pt%, Andres Nocioni.

Posted by: bulls91 Apr 23 2006, 10:45 AM

yea he did like a said that was not the best option but it was what the option that skiles made.

Posted by: Nocioni 5 Apr 23 2006, 10:49 AM

um, Nocioni was our best player the second half of the year, arguably he was our best player the whole year. If Gordon couldn't take the shot, I would definitely want Nocioni shooting that shot. It sucks, its over lets move on to game 2.

Posted by: Cute Little Bulls Fan Apr 23 2006, 10:58 AM

What can you do? Noch had the look at it at, it just didnt fall.Thats what basketball is. It just seems when it comes down to game winners it must go to Gordon. Remember when deng took that game winner against the heat on st. patrick's day? That didnt go in either and he had a look at it. Its alright though, they will come out fired up on Monday and hopefully tie up the series & then come home to sweet home chicago.
I love the playoffs! Its like Christmas for me

Posted by: BuLLzDoMaIn Apr 23 2006, 11:41 AM

But why would skiles do that. We didnt need a 3 that fast. But if it went it we all would of said great play lol But w.e

Posted by: WHarris1 Apr 23 2006, 03:53 PM

Thanks for the info Mike, I did not see the game just heard the last few minutes on the radio.

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 24 2006, 06:43 AM

I don't know this for sure, but one of two things happened there... Either Skiles had them put up a shot quick hoping to lengthen the game into as many pocessions as possible, hoping to keep trading 3 points for 2 points while not letting anytime run off of the clock, or #2 Skiles told them to take the first good shot they saw, and since Noc got a quick look almost right away off of the out of bounds play, he took the shot.

To be honest, I figured Skiles would play for one shot, and try for the OT, but that is a personal preference thing right there. Do you want to play OT on the road in the playoffs, or do you try to make the game as many posessions as possible to try to maybe win the game? That's all about preference, and really the only wrong answer is the one that doesn't work that particular day...

Posted by: southsider2k5 Apr 24 2006, 10:50 AM

Also this is the official word from Skiles on Gordon. From today's trib
