Bulls are not the same team we blew out in Phillips or the team that beat us in OT at the UC. Rose is playing with supreme confidence now so I expect a big night from him but I don't really fear their 3ball sooooooooo win I guess? :-?

They are shutting Noah down until after the All-Star break. Maybe we can win the boards. I'm think we cover this one.

Yes their a better more competitive squad this time around but with the absence of Noah that makes it so hard not see the Hawks running the Bulls in Philips by about 12 tomorrow night.

If you ever needed a picture to prove the "ugliness" of production of the "th" sound, there it is. Don't suppose the Vikings were too terribly concerned with how it looked.

I got a feeling we come out with a lot of energy. Hopefully they can impress some people on national TV.

Not that crisp, but we are ahead. Didn't expect Brad Miller to cause so many problems around the hoop.

Magic lost tonight to the Wizards. Finish this game. There is a lack of energy again. I can live with Rose taking 16 shots for 12 points and not getting to the free throw line.

Sloppy play at the end of the quarter. Nothing easy I guess.

UGLY 3rd!

If we want to win will need to step our game up and do what Chicago just did to us during the 3rd. The rebounding problems continue for us and it's not like Noah is playing.

How can the Hawks get outrebounded when Noah is out? that is a joke.

The Bulls have not made a 3-pointer, 0-9.

Put me in Coach!

Smoove having a bad game: only ONE BLOCK.

Nice statline for Smith, 18/14/10 for triple double.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #16 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Sat Feb 6, 2010 3:28 am

This is Smith's 1st triple double since his 1st in Denver a couple years ago in a game we lost.

They came out asleep in the 3rd quarter(for the 2nd game in a row)but I told myself I wouldn't complain how they did it as long as they went 3-0 during this stretch and they started 2-0. Now they have to beat Washington tomorrow. Now they need to beat Washington tomorrow.

It was ugly for a moment there. Before the 4th I believe Chicago was up around 10 on the boards.

You guys think Smoove is taking the All Star game snub ok? Great finish. I loved how we ran some offense down the stretch and it wasnt just strict iso Joe.
Suck it Bilas!

They were down 21 in the first half. Caron Butler had I think 30 second half points.

Great to see Josh make the most of national TV coverage.
