Well...

The Bulls played their absolute best, we played our worst and we're down by 4 at the half.

I'll take it but...I am not pleased.

Is it me, or was this a relatively low-scoring half?

Bulls are currently the second best defensive team. We need KG back to defend boozer and the glass.

I know a lot of people thought that Boozer and Rose couldn't be successful together due to their alleged defensive issues.  I think both have proven people wrong a bit.  Both are showing a lot of defensive effort this year.

Maybe Thibs gets some credit for that.

Hideously ugly game for both teams.  I'd like to think we're being patient offensively but it looks like we're just really slow.

We continue to be pathetic on the defensive boards without KG.  Baby, Shaq and Jermaine have been very poor in this regard.

After that first half, can I get a hit off that flask.

I cannot believe they're only down by two.

Don't think that was the Bulls best.  They gifted us a bunch of points with unforced turnovers.

Agree that it wasn't our best either.

on top of how slow this game seems to be moving...the bull's commentators are putting me to sleep.

Wanted to highlight this. Just finished watching the Raptors game, and now started this one. I've caught up till where it's at right now, and seriously, I've been yawning vigorously (lol)

Actually considering some sleep after this.

Let's go Celtics!

.edit: actually, they reminded me of really bad, old-school radio commentators. The sound is really bad over International League Pass.

Oh and, I've been impressed with the Bulls D as well. Looks like Thibbs D, indeed.

They have been better and we have been worse.

I think it was as close to their best as they're gonna get with that lineup. Boozer had his way with Big Baby, Kurt Thomas straight embarrassed Shaq and JO, and Derek Rose with his 16 points and all those FTA's?

Yeah...that was their best.

Boozer still sucks at defense. Gets lost quickly and can get lazy (nets game) Rose has stepped up his defense. I still don't like his mini-Lebron offense. Works most of the time but it's ugly ball

You do realize the Bulls are a pretty good team right?
