Bulls (10-2) at Celtics (4-5) 1/13

I dont know if anyone brought this up but if Rose does play tonight, I feel he will be at least a little off. Since he was a game time decision throughout the day, his toe must still be a little uncomfortable.

My thinking with this is while he could still play a lot of minutes, his toe may limit his greatest threat in driving to the basket, or at least as effectively. What this would do is make him pull up for jumpers and 3's more to make up for layups. And if this is true, it would result in a less productive Rose who is not the greatest shooter especially from deep.

Whatever, lets just beat him in the garden. Rondo's biggest challenge yet. Rose scored 30 the last two games against us so this game will rest on rondo's defense.

I hope that isn't the mind set of our guys this Bulls TEAM will be ready regardless if Rose is limited he will get yanked and other guys will step up

Wait, who's out? Doc is talking about playing E'Twuan and Bradely a lot in their place... talking point guard... Rondo???

This team has pride and has never been this bad record wise this deep into the season. I think you see when of those, "we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore" performances that has this team control the game from the outset and win going away.

Celtics show up big tonight. I just know it.

oh oh, can this happen? puhleeeze!!!

Dooling's out, probably for Indiana too.  Supposed to have some issue with his knee.  What is striking here is how Doc is talking about EM as the C's best PG option outside of Rondo.  He's gone with Dooling for his experience, but likes him better at the 2.

Interesting!

For some reason I just can't see us losing this game. Sheer ego and pride alone will win this game for us. It just has to.

Well then again I said the same thing against the Hornets so...

Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot! Thank you basketball gods it's not Rondo! I can't wait to see more of Moore!

Actually Doc said he was going to play Avery and Marquis in Dooling's place at the point. When asked about E'Twaun he elaborated about him but his first comment was he was going to replace Dooling with Bradley and Daniels.

I agree with Doc. Dooling is a 2 guard. I think he proved that for all to see last game. 4 TOs in 15 minutes. WOW!!!He's averaging a ridiculous amount of TO's per 36 minutes.

Unfortunately I don't think Bradley has the ability to be the type of PG this team needs. I don't think Doc has any faith in Moore to play at all unless its garbage time(his comments regarding focus when talking about Moore was very important IMO. You can know all you want and be as skilled as you want but if you can't focus on your specific duties and do them, you won't see the floor). And I don't think Daniels is playing very well at any position right now.

I'm just saying he MIGHT be limited, which implies a bigger role for our players not covering Rose. I was just thinking how ray, Pierce, and KG cover their opponents will be just as important or more so then Rondo.

JO coming off the bench. hmmm

[JBcat]

Bass is starting. Like it!

[SHAQATTACK]

[Change]

Doc exploring lineup changes. Huge yes

[Chief]

No, go back and listen to it again.  He lists E'Twaun first in the order, "E'Twaun, Avery, Marquis".
