Bulls (22-15) at Celtics (20-18) 1/18

[blink]

This game was lost when PP got double teamed and didn't get rid of the ball, got fouled (which didn't get called) and then we let the bulls tie it to get to overtime.

That PP tie up was the real killer.  Move the ball, make them foul you, play smart don't allow the double team.  If we play smart at that point and make them foul we win by 4.

OMG I am so steamed right now....ugggg

[Scottie]

Stomach punch loss...

Anybody know why Terry was out there on the final defensive possession guarding a much bigger guy who just happened to hit the game winning shot over the much shorter Terry.  Nice job there Doc.  This is like Marquis Daniels guarding Horford in the playoffs late in the game on two consecutive possessions.  What an idiot.

[Change]

Refs aside, that was one of greatest game winning shot I have ever seen. Marco Belinelli you deserve this game for that shot alone. Amazing finish!

the ball shouldn't have even went to him in that corner Terry or forget who was wide open on the other end of the court.

It was a terrible shot that simply went in, the defensive assignment had very little to do with it.

[blink]

And who should we have had on Bellinelli?  Rondo - fouled out, AB - injured.

You got Lee, Jet and Barbosa?  Lee was probably on Hamilton, so it was either Jet or Barbosa...

Nate robinson could have been guarding bellenelli on that shot and it wouldn't have made a difference .... he was laying on his back.

Yep, Terry... don't know why Rondo didn't pass it to him. That would've been the game right there.

We won this game, until the referees took it away.

This game turning into a really great one is just added oomph to the gut punch.

Referees again!

[esel1000]

I wonder if the refs made it out of the garden alive tonight...

[Smutzy#9]

The game shouldnt have even gone into OT simple as that. Paul was fouled on that double time. Hope something is mentioned and hope someone forks out some cash. Absolute joke.

Bello, props to him for hefting up a totally Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. shot and it going in somehow

That is true.  But PP needs to get rid of the ball.  Bounce it off their knee, do something to NOT get the tie up call.  That was literally the only way that the bulls were going to get a chance to tie.  We weren't going to shoot early, terrible play by PP, and then a horrible call by the ref to miss the foul, and he was never tied up either.  Perfect storm of bad stuff...

gawd.

Couldn't agree more.  Why Dic puts Terry out on the defensive end with 12 seconds left is criminal.  Lee was on Robinson.  Pierce was on Rip.  Meanwhile, Green sits on the bench. 

[blink]

I don't know.  Jet seemed like he was playing tough D the whole game.  I can't really fault doc for that.  If PP was on Rip, then I think he had the right guys on the court.  It was just an extremely lucky shot.  I mean really lucky.
