Bulls win

Ad hits...1 point lead with 1.4 seconds left. I guess a loss here would eliminate the Magic from the playoffs?

Gordon with another horrid shot but Ad gets the ball puts it up and is fouled. Come on AD make a free throw. 1.4 seconds left and he misses the 1st free throw. It rolled out.

Hold for the last shot. Howard is playing insane though. Chandler is gonna win this game on a put back.

Nice take by Duhon and he makes both free throws giving the Bulls a 2 pt lead with 1:35 left.

Holy cripes, how the hell did Francis make that layup.

Magic with a turnover...man that word is getting popular in this thread, lol.

turnover...and then another turnover, luckily Jameer Nelson lost it out of bounds.

Nor should he. He's still a god awful defender and a turnover machine. Although his defense is light years better then it was earlier in the year, but thats still not saying much.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:31 PM) Eleven for the bulls is fantastic. Problem is 9 of them are in this half...which is just like them.

What a shocker, Francis takes the shot...misses and the game is going to OT. Its the first time all year the Magic make it to overtime. Dan since your reading this thread all I got left is Wes Whisler.

3.3 seconds left, Magic ball. The Magic announcers are saying thats how Skiles is and they think Skiles thought the Bulls could get an easy bucket via the fast break there. When Pargo first passed it all I could see what a wide open Duhon.

Holy cripes. Francis misses, Chandler gets the board. Pargo brings it up and quickly passes it up and it looked like Duhon was gonna get an easy layup when Howard comes in and steals it. Magic timeout. Bulls didn't call a timeout which was odd.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:27 PM) Sleepy on the last page gotcha.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:26 PM) The stats and facts prove who is the better point guard between the two yet you choose to ignore them. What are you talking about

Bulls miss again and Magic call timeout with 25 seconds left (18 on the shot clock).

Gordon is not in evne though it was an offensive posession. Damn, turnover and then Howard jams it. Tie game.

That was a huge 3 by Hinrich. 95-93 with 1:12 left.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:18 PM) So what's that, like the 4th or 5th time that Francis has stolen the ball from Hinrich? Wow. That was Gordon that got it stripped unless I'm thinking of something else.

86-86...Chandler is playing HUGE

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) I don't think Rowand commands the zone as well as Iguchi does... Rowand's a great hitter, but he's a swing and miss guy. That's not the type of player Ozzie wants in that spot. If we had a different manager, I'd be more inclined to have Rowand in the 2 spot, but Ozzies probably going to do a lot of hit0and-running and stealing with Iggy in the box. Thats the one reason I think Guchi fits better in the 2 hole as of now. Guchi is going to be sucessful, but If Everett struggled I could see him and Rowand swapping in the lineup. On an unrelated note, Pods hit the ball hard today.

On a sidenote, Pargo is really becoming a part of this rotation. I've always known he was a hell of a shooter, but he used to kind of just do his own thing. Now he's becoming quite the asset.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 05:02 PM) Pargo for three! 83-80 Bulls. It was all set up by Chandler's strip of Howard. Ya Tyson did a fantastic job on that and Gordon actually had quite a nice pass. Deshawn called out of bounds, but replay shows otherwise. Bulls get lucky on a call

I'd be tempted to have Aaron in the front of the lineup, but I also see the point in having Guchi up their. I'm a huge Rowand backer though and I think he'd be a tremendous 2 or 3 hitter.
