Celtics (2-3) at Bulls (5-1) Game #6 11/8/14

Good win.

How did Chicago lose the rebounding battle lol?

Apparently a problem for them this season? Some Bulls fan on the internet thinks so anyway.

Stevens having trust in Turner seems to be paying off, in spades.

I know Tristan Thompson killed them, but it's still odd to see.

Good. I hope Stevens can pull a Crawford on him.

Problem with Turner is that he almost can't play with Smart, Rondo, or Pressey. It leaves too many players who can't shoot on the floor.

rondo and turner....turner as the two..?

Bulls looked old and tired.  Noah looked like he was in quicksand.  Guess that's what happens when Thibs runs you into the ground over a few NBA seasons.

This was also their fourth game in five nights.

That'll make any team look old.

We should legitimately be 4-2 right now (though Toronto was missing starters) and possibly even 5-1 if a couple of things went our way against Dallas. That's pretty dang good considering many people were saying we wouldn't win 3 games in all of November!

I hate to say it..but I think ko did little until those two great last rebounds.....

He has shown to be better as a pg. He had a great game. Clutch basket.

Gotta say...on the replay, KO stepped out of bounds on that key offensive rebound, just before flinging it out to mid-court.

I like that Stevens is still coaching here

The coach did everything he could possibly do to guide this team through that final stretch.  He coached a great game.

Good eye. But its good the refs didnt catch that.

KO had a big confidence builder game

Right.  They showed some resilience at the end though.  I had a feeling it wouldn't be an easy 4th quarter.

yes, so many times you could see stevens plays result in a basket. the celtics are lucky to have him. i loved it when with 0.8 seconds left he calls a time out to make sure NOTHING goes wrong and when the team was lackadaisical in returning to the huddle stevens yelled at them to move their butts. 

this is his team.

I don't know how anyone can watch that game and come away thinking KO wasn't impressive.  He was great on D and more than held his own rebounding.  He knocked in a couple threes, had a couple drives, and set good picks like always.  What more could anyone want?

ET has some scoring talent but I am amazed at his stupid play.  He and Thorton have no situational basketball sense.

Not sure why Sully didn't play towards the end but then again, they had Gasol off the floor down the stretch at times too. 

The Bulls looked tired and slow.  We seemed rested even though we played last night and had a really good night shooting.  Good win but we can't rely on that kind of outside shooting night in and night out.

Game Thoughts
1. Bulls played some pretty bad defense and didn't crash the offensive glass at all which should have been their biggest advantage
2. Turner had his best game for the Celtics. This season he has left his feet for passes too often and tried to make dribble moves in traffic that have ended in turnovers. Tonight he limited those mistakes and played well.
3. Pressey is solid but until he is able to shoot better he will not be suited for anything but a third string pg
4. Zeller needs to get more minutes. He really played well tonight.

I Watched the whole game, that is what I saw.....you think diff...that is your opinion....and I am okay with that.
