QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) WHY THE f*** DID HE SHOOT A THREE WHEN THE CELTS HAVE NO INTERIOR D RIGHT NOW?!??!?! JUST STUPID. Because when all you do is isolate the hot shooter, that's going to be the easiest open shot. Move the damn ball around people!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 07:28 PM) Score here and it SHOULD be over. Never ever that easy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 07:28 PM) So IF THE BULLS WIN what's the chance of Rondo getting suspended for throwing Kirk into the f***ing scorers table for no reason? Let me guess? Celtics = zero chance, right? If the C's win I'd say there's a decent shot he misses game 1.

They gave Marmol the 8th today, he walked Gload and Bonifacio to start the inning and gave up the tying run without giving up a hit thanks to an error. His ERA did go down though.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 07:22 PM) Sometimes Salmons is just meh. And sometimes he is just, wow. He was slowed down with that injury for like a month it seemed. He's acting a little healthier now than he was 1.5 weeks ago when this series started.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 07:16 PM) If anyone has seen Derrick Rose, could they please send him back to the game? Thanks. He seems to have disappeared. He's gone fishing.

Sweet Fishing Salmons

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 07:10 PM) Why in Hinrich guarding Big Baby in that situation? Because their coach is better at creating mismatches by drawing up plays than ours is at avoiding them.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 07:07 PM) The Bulls can not foul Pierce on this play. Preferably make Rondo or some one else not named Allen take the shot. Don't leave allen open..

Gordon fouls out

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 06:55 PM) Ha, yeah. Inbound to Gordon who dribbles around the three point line, steps in, then shoots a fade away shot when he could have just as easily attempted to penetrate through the defense. The last time they gave the ball to Miller, and we all saw what happened. We lost that game, it never works therefore.

Did anyone seriously believe this wasn't going to OT?

Inbound to rose and run a screen for gordon.

Anyone else getting the wonderful "no alcohol parties for your teenager" commercial?

Come on, come on, only 3...come on, we can do this...

This series is over.

GOD DAMNIT GORDON

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 06:32 PM) VDN keeping Gordon on the bench way too long. Not only that, he pulled Miller right as the offense was clicking. It's the defense on Allen that's killing us right now

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 06:17 PM) Bulls should be up at least 15 in this game. Basically it's the same story this series - get a lead, get all excited, forget there's 30, 20, 10 minutes left, give up big lead. Rinse, repeat. That's 12. Hold it together team!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 06:12 PM) Eh that's a pretty cheap foul to call IMO, especially this late in the game. Depends on how blatant it is. If it's as obvious as the elbow Rondo threw earlier...

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 06:05 PM) Tyrus Thomas has a really low Basketball IQ. Dumb over-the-back fouls... slap-blocking balls out of bounds when he could tap them to a teammate... he doesn't get "it" whatever that means. And yet we're actually doing a solid job holding Perkins and Davis under wraps this game, Tyrus has been fairly effective on D according to the numbers, even if he hasn't racked up the stats today.

Illinois currently counting 41 potential cases.

Another worth reading piece by Johnson linking the decision to take Chrysler to bankruptcy to the situation the banks are in.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 05:15 PM) Is it me or are we getting called on the most ticky tack fouls, I thought the Bulls were the home team? They don't want the Bulls getting mean and hurting the Celtics...
