Ray just said it himself at halftime. The bench comes in and doesn't get any stops and the lead goes away. It is a [dang] shame the older players have to do more now than they did a couple of years ago when they won the title.

I still can't believe Ainge thought JO could stay healthy and help the team.

[Adelaide Celt]

At least that's 3 fouls on Noah now too, jeez I hate that piece of human excrement..

I do too but I would love to see him in green.

Certainly, that would mean a lot less worrying bout rebounds. Notice he took the opportunity at half time to have a good whine to the refs

Bench totally killed Boston's momentum and flow, and gave Chicago hope early on. At this rate, looks like it'll be a close game the rest of the way. Thanks, second unit. 

[Megatron]

Right now we probably have one of the worst benches in the league.

But once West, JO, and Perk return we will have one of the best.

Just have to hold on until then.

injuries killing the bench though..imagince shaq, JO, erden, west, baby, nate and daniels coming off the bench. that is what we have to hang there for

[snively]

I almost wish we'd give Von Wafer a chance to jack up some shots with the 2nd unit with Nate looking a little gimpy.  Pierce and Daniels take forever to get looks: both much better playing off Rondo. 

[celticinorlando]

great start 

[Who]

Chicago are a better rebounding team than this.

Good chance they give a better account of themselves in the second half.

[celticinorlando]

need to get noah his 4th

[celticinorlando]

pierce needs to speed it up...allowing deng to get into him too easily

[snively]

Deng doing a masterful job on Pierce.  Pierce should attack Deng more off the bounce. 

[Adelaide Celt]

Lovely work by the Bulls to allow Rondo that offensive board and layup!

[Who]

I don't like Shaq getting into foul trouble when the team is short handed up front. Especially not with Glen Davis struggling.

I'd like to see him choose his fouls more carefully tonight.

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

Great pass from Shaq. Terrific. Coming out like we did in the 1st.
