Loscy Are you doing it or should I?-----
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Yeah, man. We managed to play 12 players, and the Bulls played 11 -- and at the end, sure enough, every C had a positive +/- (even Tony, Lester, and Giddens!) and every Bull had a negative. Team effort. Seven C's in double figures.

We also outscored them in every quarter.

Bulls fan checking in. The Bulls announcers are horrific. We are pretty sure that Bulls management gives the announcers "talking points" like the republican party does for fox news.

For example, last year the announcers used to complain bitterly about every Gordon missed shot or mistake, despite him being the best player on the team. It came out that the Bulls had decided well in advance that they were dumping Gordon, so they were just prepping the fanbase.

At this point, guys like Luol Deng, Rose and even Taj Gibson are in the long term plans. Not coincidentally, the announcers will say irrationally stupid positive things about them. As a Bulls fan, its irritating. So as a fan of another team, it has to make your ears bleed.

Another nice road victory with a team not yet totally put together. The future does look bright. Add Daniels/Davis and maybe a deadline piece and who knows how far this team can go..... :wink:

Very good road win. I love how Rondo is playing over the last few games. He is hitting his FT's and isn't afraid to take the jumper. Rondo is footing over 50% from the line for the 1st time this season(maybe outside of the first few games.) This is a great sign. Also he passing and rebounding have been great.

Wallace had a really good game as well. I really like that he is playing in the low post more over the last 2-3 weeks and cutting down on the 3's. I would like to see Rasheed's FG% be around 45-48%. He is a about 38% for the season now.

In limited minutes, Giddens looked aggressive for the 1st time all season. I wonder if someone told to stop being some passive.

Yup. I was at this game and we played pretty well. I was impressed by Sheed and House shooting well off bench. Rajon played a very nice game after that revenge cheapshot by Miller. Pierce set the tone early. Our ball movement early wasn't great but we played a stellar second half.
