GT: Bulls vs. Spurs

[Nolan]

When: 9:30 PM ET, November 17, 2010
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX



VS



Starting Lineups:

Bulls:
PG - Derick Rose
SG - Keith Bogans
SF - Luol Deng
PF - Taj Gibson
C - Joakim Noah

Spurs:
PG - Tony Parker
SG - Manu Ginobli
SF - Richard Jefferson
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Dejuan Blair

This is the 2nd game of a 7 game roadtrip for the Bulls so lets give them their first loss of the trip tonight. Containing Rose is going to be the key to this game. We need to stop him from becoming a scorer and we need to make him into a playmaker. If they're going to beat us let Deng and Noah do it. The Bulls playing very good half court defense so we need to continue pushing the pace and getting easy scores on the break.

Injuries:
- Boozer will be out for the Bulls of course
- James Anderson will not play either.

Go Spurs!!

D Rose is gonna light your team up. Bulls should win this game

[Donald Kaufman]

I won't be able to catch this one unfortunately. Hopefully we beat their asses.

[Nolan]

And we're under way.

[Nolan]

We're looking good on offense so far. But we need to play better defense, we're giving up way too many open looks.

[Nolan]

Danny Green into the game!

Its so loney in this thread.

[co_laper]

Just tuned in. Got nothing to say yet. Only watched the last 1 minute.

[Nolan]

We can't hit a shot right now, this is starting to get out of hand.

[co_laper]

Tim Duncan isn't getting calls. Can't hit shots and the defense is awful. Need to stop this bleeding.

[Nolan]

Nice take by TP for the and 1.

We're shooting 32% and we're only down by 10. If we can start hitting some shots we can get back into this game.

[Nolan]

This is Spurs basketball lets keep it going!

[co_laper]

We're up 4 now with 7 minutes left in 3rd quarter.

Defense on Rose looks much better. The biggest stat of the game? Derrick Rose ZERO FT attempts.

Yep that's HUGE.

Duncan is having an amazing quarter.

Also Matt Bonner is a +29 in this game so far.

[co_laper]

WOW... what a 3rd quarter... 37-12 in the 3rd. We scored at will and shut them down defensively. Other than a couple miscommunication defensively on Rose, that whole Bulls team basically took long jumpers the whole quarter.

[Nolan]

Key to the 4th quarter is containing Rose. We can't let him repeat what he did in Houston last night.

[Silent Striker]

I have Blair on my fantasy team, but he's only played 10 mins tonight. It's not because of foul trouble, so was he hurt or something??

Nope. Blair was playing pretty decent but Bonner came in and we went on that huge run so Pop's stuck with Bonner.

[Nolan]

No Tiago yet...
