SLACKERS! We missed the last game thread and I wasn't going to let this one go.

After 1 half, the Bulls lead 55-46. Deng with 20 points in the half in Ben Wallace's reunitement with the Pistons.

Great game. This is a huge victory for the Bulls, being able to beat the "best" team in the Eastern Conference (albeit without Billups.)

Wallace looked great. A double-double with 12 points and 14 boards.

The Bulls looked really composed through the vital parts of this game. Noc and Deng were awesome.

Was at the game last night, best atmosphere of the season by far.

People were actually into the race rather than cheering for the freaking Donut Races and pointless spiff.

Deng and Gordon are a SICK duo and should only get better. Noc was good, Big Ben was Big Ben.

Only thing that concerns me is Hinrich's recent play.

Kirk's injury is going to slow him for a while. Those things take a while.

Luol Deng continues to amaze. Good God, talk about a mid-range freak.

I just read that he has only attempted a total of three, 3 point shots this whole season. That is a really smart move until his ability catches up with his potential from downtown.

On the other hand, he's not that far away at all. That "1 step inside the 3 point line" shot for him has become something the other team is foolish not to defend, because he's deadly with it. I'm amazed at how much his jump shot has improved this year...I just hope he doesn't become too reliant on it, because the ability to drive the lane makes the team a lot better (and helps him get those open jump shots).

That jumper is what opens up his first step to the basket. To be honest, I think with his work ethic, within a year or two, Lu will be a 40% 3 point shooter.

Awesome...game was in High Def....Bulls picked up a much needed win after dropping two games in a row that they should have won.
