Millsap out again. We're ridiculously short and will probably get crushed tonight.

^Gotta think positive, bro. Anything can happen when the Moose is loose!!!

I'm actually pretty excited to see what Muscala and Pittman can do. Don't know why since Bud rarely plays young guys. What's the over/under on PT tonight for the new guys?

16 minutes combined?

Have we signed and added Muscala to the roster? If so, who did we cut if it wasn't Pittman?

BTW, I'm guessing 25 minutes. Thinking that we can't go small for extended periods against Noah/Boozer/Gibson and 96 minutes is a long time for Brand/Scott... well, assuming Ayon is a no-go.

Korver's been putting in some work in the first. Muscala isn't listed on the roster on NBA.com. Hoping Bud gives some playing time to Dennis.

Ladies and gentlemen, for just the first and second times all season, an Atlanta Hawk was bigger and stronger and reached over the other team for a contested rebound. If Dexter does nothing else, he's blessed my heart.

Demarre fouls Hinrich on the 3pt play. yowza...that hurts.

I think pump fakes are Carroll's kryptonite.

And Budd calls a timeout negating Mike Scott's jumper. Teague turns it over twice in the last 20 seconds.

Not our night.

And I hate playing the Bulls. Everything they do is just good, tough basketball and everything we do is a foul. They whine when the other team's not called for a foul and they whine if the refs don't let them play rough. On a night when they beat the snot out of us, we get called for more fouls and they shoot more FTs.

Boozer had 2 fouls, Gibson only had one and Noah didn't foul anyone, the refs said. Impossible.

Disappointed Dennis and Pittman got 'little to no' burn tonight.

Well, say one thing for the good guys - we're always entertaining...

Really good defense by Noah at the end. Great 3pt defense. Take the left arm away and the shot dies, right?

1: Hinrich should not have been shooting 3 shots. He pulled down the shot so he could reach out and get hit by Carroll. He should have been shooting two. For that to be the act of shooting, that same motion would have had to be in the middle of a shot.

2: 2 bad turnovers by Teague at the end, but nice game overall.

3: Seriously...how do you miss that foul on Scott's 3? What else could you have possibly been looking at?

Good post I agree 100% about that was not in the shooting motion. Hinrich hung himself out to dry and had nowhere to go with that shot. It look like he was actually trying to drop the ball.

Teague had a really good game against a tough defense but those last late game TO's really hurt.

Noah fouled Scott and reportedly told Scott he did.
