Riley was saying Eddie Jones is going to be guarding Gordon...

does that mean Wade and his bum shoulder are going to be guarding Deng?

And there is still time to get in on the pick to click contest for the playoffs. Be sure to get your pick in by 2:30 today.

nervous as hell.
go bulls.

My keys to the game:

Set pick and rolls of Dwyane Wade, bump his shoulder to get him in pain.

Watch Shaq at all times, dont double him because he will kick it out to the arch.

Get BG7 hot early on along with Cpt Kirk and Deng.



According to sportscenter Shaq is 26-0 in playoff series when he wins the first game so I see this game as a MUST win.

um, when I said get your pick in by 2:30 I actually meant 2:00... when the game starts...

YES, I made it JUST in time. I just got back from my double header baseball game

Do ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Lets go Boys

Off to a hot start this is what we need.

The offense is clicking, they are getting to the basket, rebounding well, and Wade is a non-factor so far. Only thing is Shaq looks good, but so far it doesn't appear he can win this game on his own.

I have a fever and the only cure is more BG7

Need to tighten up the D

2 fouls on pj.... El Chapu enters the game...

We cannot let Shaq beat us. They need to force other guys to take the shots.

Paxson you better be watching this is why we need someone in the draft who has the ability to stop the diesel. (if possible)

Bulls are making bad passes off the pick and roll has to stop.

kirk with 2 fouls

Jesus christ, dont let Shaq score that easily

Shaqs out of game now so lets pick things up and make some damn shots.

The whole team is ice cold

Tyrus Thomas NEEDS to be playing in this game RIGHT NOW!

They are taking bad shots and the D lost whatever rhythm they had early on. They look really bad right now, someone needs to step up on offense.

Deng is the only one stepping up right now

I thought gary payton was hurt... was I hullicinating?

With how bad theyre playing the fact that theyre still close is amazing

ally oop to ben wallace by duhon at the buzzer... sweet!

or maybe it was just a pass

Yeah, but they did play very well for the opening 3 minutes or so. Still though, only down 1 after 1. More points than I would have expected, the Bulls need to play better D. It looked like they were doing so towards the end f the quarter though.

They need to shut down Shaq and Gordon needs to heat up.

Walker is feeling it.

They need to shut down Shaq and Gordon needs to heat up.

The only guy we got that can cover Wade has three fouls now

looks like riley has the refs on his side

Rally Gordon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Noch with the block.

Bulls seem to be picking it up now.

Posey covering Gordon...thats laughable

these refs are trash... let them freaking play

OMG!!!! Stop turning the ball over. Too many bad passes and stuff like Gordon just pulled.

You cant beat the heat like that.

Shaq is just unstopable.

w00t 2 fouls on shaq

Nice to see Gordon heating up

Thabo is the secret weapon! Great defense.

Keep Thabo on Wade hes doin a nice job.

Sox take the lead in the top of the 10th

10th

Tied after a decent run. The D is playing a little better, Sef looked solid on Wade. The home crowd is huge in this game right now. The Bulls are probably down 8-10 on the road playing like this.

Jesus he had all ball gimme a break, good thing Shaq butchers free throws.

third on shaq.... freaking flopper

Nice kiss off glass by Wade

Nice kiss off glass by Wade

We take the lead back!

Here we go first the T up on Posey, now Nochs three, one point lead time to take off.

Finally a 3. If the Bulls start hitting their 3s, watch out.

YES, huge bucket to end the first half. Thats what I want to see, Dengs block then Thabo with score, start Thabo second half.

Thabo is playing very well and the Bulls are up 3 at half. Hinrich was in foul trouble most of the half and the Bulls are still up, very good. The score is also more within the range the Bulls would like (49-46).

Wallace doesn't have any fouls. Pretty cool... we might not see sweetney today :beer
