The Bulls played well. Chandler was ejected after two stupid Technical's for taunting. Stupid on his part...not the refs. JWill played well in his debut. He shot the ball well, drove it inside and dished it out well. He came up with some big steals down the stretch and forced a foul on a rebound late in the game. He even has 7 rebounds. The big problem...he can not shoot free throws! 0 for 5. Ouch! If he wants to stay in games late, he better improve on that or Crawford will be finishing games. I might chalk it up to being his first game, if it wasn't for the fact that hes never been a good FT shooter.

 

Rose played nicely coming up with 21 points and dishing out 12 assists, even after getting in early foul trouble. Trenton Hassell played great tonight hitting some big 3's and playing superb defense.

 

ERob also played good tonight coming off the bench with 10 and 6. Also Marshall played great off the bench with 16 and 7.

 

Overall a good game by the Bulls and a good start to the season. They really stepped up the d when it counted, in the 4th, allowing only 12 points. 1-0 Bulls! Woohoo!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first time the Bulls have been over .500 since the Jordan era? I know it's VERY early, but it still looks damn good to see more W's than L's in their record.

 

Anyway, I was gonna watch the game, but I fell asleep before it started and didn't wake up until after its completion. From what I read about it, the Bulls basically were in control in this one. But then again, Boston's not your world-class team. But a win is a win, and it gives Chicago someone else to beat up on, which is always good!

 

I am so exicited over this NBA season, because, from the preseason, it looks like this team will be exciting to watch. It also will make the Chicago sports scene busier. It was getting rather boring sometimes having a few days without a Chicago team playing, when we had our Sox playing nearly every day for six months!

Well Boston was up by 6 at the half. Boston did go to the Eastern Conference Finals last year, so it's not like they're the Cavaliers or anything.

 

Im glad basketball season is here as well.

This was awesome. NOw if only I could of seen the game, lol.

 

Its good to see Rose, Hassel, Marshall and Erob all contributing.

 

I think Williams has a lot to work on when it comes to shooting free throws, but I think he will be able to get it done.

 

This is a great start, but we have a long way to go. Veteran leadership of Rose and Marshall helped big time and Hassel hit a couple big threes.

Watch out Lakers!

Remember we were 2-0 against the last year. We aren't afraid to whoop them up again, lol!!!

I told Jason this on AIM, the NBA is as bad as college football with this "taunting" crap.

 

You look at a guy and its' "taunting", bite me.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

Ya, we weren't in control.

I picked the Bulls tonight, but they had to win by 5. Here in Alberta we have a lottery game called Sport Select where you can bet any sport win lose or tie. In basketball a tie is a win by 4 or less and football a win by 3 or less, I don't know my hoops, so I took the bulls who were a 6.00(times wager times other games) and they were 2pts from winning me 86 bucks on a 2 dollar bet). I had the Raptors(2.15) and the Warriors(i can't remember) to win. s***. Any B-ball insiders who have tip advice feel free, any night I'll lay a bet down.
