Oh man, I'm stuck at work right now but I'm all jacked up to watch tonights opening night game. I'm actually making it a part of my halloween plans as I am forcing my friends to ensure the game will be on at the halloween party I go to!!!

Now Lets Kick this season off right

This ought to be a fun one. You know the Bulls feel like they should have beat Miami in the playoffs, and want to prove their worth to the world, as does Mr Wallace.

And Miami is a lil' banged up (J Williams is out IIRC). And Miami didn't bother playing hard last year until they turned on the switch in the playoffs. And Miami gets rings tonight.

Time to start turning doubters into believers kiddies.

What time is tonight's game? We are on Mountain time now so only an hour behind Chicago. Is it 7:00pm CST?

mann cant wait
happy halloween

Game starts @ 4:30 Pacific Time according to my DVR. That would mean 6:30 Central time. My guess is that it won't actually start till 5ish or 7 (central time).

TNT's coverage starts at 5:00 Pacific time, so yes. However, there's introductions and a ring ceremony, so I ain't gonna guess exactly when tipoff will be.

This ceremony is kinda strange, maybe it's just me.

So does Miami have any shot now that they have their rings?

Lets spoil their party! GO BULLS!

Tip it up, bitches!

Game time. Ben Gordon already getting to the hoop.

Good job drawing a foul and hitting 2 by Little Ben

DENG WITH THE FLUSH

LUOL RUNNING THE COURT!

Gordon freaking abuses Wade, then draws a foul that somehow wasn't called...

Ben Gordon has officially broken Dwyana Wade's ankles.

How is that an offensive foul? Phew.

Nice ball movement results in a PJ jumper.

7-6 Bulls

DWade is a freaking flopping clown

Wade kicks Hinrich and Kirk is charged with a foul. Nice.

I'm just pleased they didn't whistle Kirk for foul #1 in the pregame intros.

That was sick. Too bad the ref was blind as spiff and misse dthe foul call.

2 fouls on Shaq, Zo in the game.

Gordon has gotta finish those

Even when Ben Wallace isn't putting up numbers I just love his presence

2 and a foul.

Big Ben with the SWISH on the FT.

Big Ben $$ from the line

Luol looking nice and active, knock em down.

Deng owning the boards.

Antoine Walker has to be the most overrated player in the last 10 years. I always thought he was garbage.

We are out hustling Miami on the boards.

10-1 Bulls run, Heat TO. Let's build a nice early lead boys!

When you shoot up 10,000 3-pointers a season, you're bound to hit a few.

Great start. I'd hate to start 0-1 and a loss to a team on their ring night would be a poor way to start. Bulls looking good. I think Deng will have a breakout season and is playing like it so far.

Hinrich persuaded me to buy league pass.

Man seeing Big Ben in the preseason is one thing, but it finally seems real now. I'm giddy.

Gordon defends, does nothing...WHISTLE

Gordon looking dumb on both ends.

STFU Wade, how would that not be a foul on you?

Another Heat turnover. Good defense so far.

Chris Quinn? Holy cow? Did he get drafted or was he an undrafted FA?

Gotta get a lead with Shaq and Wade out

Freakin' Antoine Walker trying to take out TT.

TT misses a pair and Duhon misses a stupid 3. Not what we need.

WALLACE WITH THE REJECTION! gordon misses.

lol

Ben Gordon 0 for freaking 6

Welcome to the game Ben Wallace, but someone needs to hit a shot. Good thing Wallace is dominating now.

Tyrus Thomas is gonna need a lot of time to grow.

He looks a lot different when he's not playing 3rd stringers trying to make an NBA team, huh?

Niether team shooting well. New ball?

No, he is awesome. Everyone told me I had to eat crow already...

Shooting...like...trash...

ITS JITTERS!!!!!!!!

Up 6 after 1, decent quarter. I would expect more with Shaq and Wade in some foul trouble, but I'm not too disappointed.

I missed practically the whole 1st quarter. How has everyone on the bulls locked? Big Ben?

freaking refs, Wade has already complained more than once and Noc gets a T right away.

Big Ben and Deng have played very well. Gordon has been driving but shooting bad.
