Good overall win, but a few comments:
I loved how we came out in the beginning of the game. We had a certain swagger, we were playing like we thought we were one of the best teams in the league... Making good decisions, unselfish plays, hustling, Camby with some great putbacks and Gordon was nailing shots and had no emotion in his face...
Then, I think it was the in the 2nd or the 3rd quarter when things started to get out of hand. The bench (other than Thorton, and even he at times settled for contested jumpers), wasn't doing too well, and then when we got Baron out there, he became Barren again, and went into chuck mode and looked like he was missing 3 after 3.
Finally, in the 4th we got it together, strung a few plays together, Baron made a 3 and Gordon started taking over. Hits a three, then gets a fast break dunk I believe, and that put us out of striking range.
The funniest part of the game, I think it was the end of the second or third quarter, when the Thunder were starting to make a big run, Watson was guarding Baron, and then Baron just bowls him over on to the ground, and he just walks off... That was so funny, considering they're supposed to be friends! It reminded me of the time he floored that little punk Derek Fisher with a shoulder check and didn't help him up.
And I like our chances against the Bulls. Other than Ben Gordon going off for 30, and Rose having double digit assists, we shouldn't have to worry too much, and our offensive weapons should be too much for them to handle. Hopefully we can continue our momentum and keep our win streak alive.
