Bulls (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) Round 1 Game 2 4/20

[celticinorlando]

is anyone surprised? boston has been playing like this the past 6 weeks...get a nice lead early only to give it all back and try to rally late...they don't know how to finish anyone anymore...up 12 at home with momentum and you give it all back...call me what you want to put i just don't see much more out of this team...

[mahonedog88]

Barkley actually said it perfectly on TNT halftime.  Because Rose only has 6 points and 2 assists at the half, this is all about the Celtics playing like crap than it is the Bulls playing so well.

Ray is giving the Cs nothing, Pierce is playing nowhere near at the level he should be, and the bench has been the beyond terrible.

Celtics lose this game, they will not win this series.

miller is killing boston as is gordon...try tony on gordon...let eddie run point and sit marbury...this is just p--- poor basketball

[kheeko]

Mikki moore is !@#$%* pathetic, and Marbury as well  

Also not just the bench pierce is making some of the stupidest decisions ever, whats up with the clear path foul and all the turnovers? after that everything turned to sh-t

[cordobes]

During the entire season, the Bulls have beaten 3 playoff teams in the road: Jazz (which were playing w/o half of the team, including Boozer), Hornets (w/o Chris Paul) and Pistons. They're playing really well so far.

i just can't see boston winning in chicago if they go in down 2...esp with guys gimpy....feels like this team is just quitting...second half to save their season...lose it and it is over...make tee times

[adam8]

They cannot lose this game and you would have to assume the free throws even out they normally do. They are both playing aggressive defense and there are a lot of iffy calls either way. They lose this they are done they do not have the swagger. I cannot take all the Fakers fan again (I mean they grew up on the east coast never been out west and they like the lakers)

I agree - I'd like to see that with Pierce playing point forward, but I don't see how we can expect Marbury to give us anything positive at this point.

I just caught the last minute of the half...

Whassup with Rondo?

Here's your jinx moment of the century...Didn't the Bulls sweep the Heat after they'd won the title the year before? 

[Cs09Champs]

Pierce has got 3 TOs already arghh

[Cman]

Yes, let's try Tony Allen for a bit.  He can't give us worse than Ray Allen is giving us.  And at some point soon I am going to search through the archives for that recent "offseason" thread to see what offseason trade ideas involving Ray Allen people were tossing around...

[greg683x]

TnT is slobbing Rose right now.

Rondo pit up 15/6/8 in a single half and they're focused on Roses 6/2/2.

Where is the Love?

Seriously, we dont deserve any love. 

And Barkley just talked about how this isnt about Derrick Rose and the Chicago, its about the Celtics playing like crap.

I dont see how thats slobbing on Rose.  We just played a horrible half, we're losing, why do we deserve to have our player spotlighted??

[celticinorlando]

just the same...boston got p 12...blew the lead and now rondo and powe are hurt...and all the bigs have 3 fouls...

[celticinorlando]

any word on powe yet?

Yeps. But back then the Bulls had the better record.
