Bulls (16-20) at Celtics (27-10) 1/14

[Donoghus]

That's what I like to see; attacking the rim.

Go inside!

If you get blocked, you get blocked.  However, more often than not, you'll start getting some whistles.

bulls cant hit anything yet boston is one brick and done. they better pick things up or jan. is going to be  disaster of a month...they have games vs good teams coming up....and what they are showing wont cut it...oh yeah...KG will be back....

[MaxwellSmart86]

C's had cut it to 6 but can't score to keep any momentum.  Bulls are blocking everything inside it's unreal. Hard to believe the Celtics have only 31 points with under 3 minutes left in the half that is absolutely PUTRID

they cut it to 6 until the refs reviewed the shot by TA.

when did boston have a good win? vs orlando? seems everyone since has been squeakers (other than NJ) or bad losses...i just dont feel very good about this team right now

Where are all the blind optimists we need some positivity here to enlighten all of the "negative" fans here.  

Well I guess even they can't find anything positive to say about the Celtics' performance so far tonight.  Horrible offense, no rebounding, no ability to hit inside shots or even free throws.  Let the excuses roll in about being tired, shorthanded or whatever can be thought of.

Remember these are the 3-13 on the road Chicago Bulls --- enough said.

This looks like a classic case of the Celtics just being completely dead and flat.  They know they have 3 days off before they play again and it looks like they've been looking forward to it a little too soon.

scalabrine!!..3...come on !!!

[BASS_THUMPER]

lol..yes!!..

[Tai]

Nice shot by Ray Allen.

At least the C's are keeping this close.

[jadams5214]

Close out this half strong!

Pierce gets beat again then lazily reaches in.  He is playing horribly tonight on BOTH ends.

[Kiorrik]

We look seriously tired, or something. The only person providing effort, is... well yes. Scals.

[jadams5214]

Huge misses there by Scal oh well he is at least trying.  That 3 was a huge shot to keep the game close.  Instead it's another foul and 2 more points for the Bulls.

What a half and the C's should be booed off the floor there is no excuse for this.

[Who]

Celtics offense is lacking go-to options.

Rondo + Perk the two best go-to scorers in the first half.

[jadams5214]

Gee great finish to the half after cutting it to 5 points!  Can't even play 2 solid minutes to keep the game close.  

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And Pierce has had his shot blocked 4 times tonight way to go Captain along with having Deng 5 for 5.

[Who]

Joakim Noah's play in transition, defense + offense, has been excellent.

He is beating the Celtics up and down the court routinely.
