what did you see in Chicago?

[Rosco917]

this is for those that even watched the entire game...

1. It takes Zeller a long time to feel comfortable when he comes in the game. He's soft, slow reacting at first, then settles into his game. Which is...efficient at times, and fairly OK?

2. Kelly O seemed to play better with Zeller in the game  than Sully.

3. Chicago did not play well. Until Brooks went crazy.

4. Ball movement was very smooth without Rondo, Actually much more to what Stevens would like..

5. Evan Turner really likes going into the teeth of the defense and drawing a reaction.

anybody?

I know Scalabrine added that the offensively the paint was wide open tonight as Chicago's D was really spread out.

1) Avery Bradley's D is really confusing me. You don't just go from one of the primary sparkplugs to a historically great defense (2012-13) to being at best average defensively. Is it something Stevens is doing?

2) Sully had a great game cut short by a lack of minutes.

3) Sully/Zeller is a combo I'd like to see more of.

4) Jeff Green had a quiet scoring night (for him) but had four assists, continuing to show improved ball movement skills.

5) We saw a little fire out of Stevens late in the game when arguing with the refs. Nice!

6) Oly was tonight's MVP. Turner #2.

7) Presseeyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly came up with a couple huge boards at the end of the game (though I could swear he looked out of bounds on that 2nd to last one.)

Turner and Bradley were a great backcourt and the ball just seemed to move a lot better in this game.

Plus Thornton came up big off the bench with 11 points.

Other than Brooks, the Bulls looked anemic.

Impressive win.

Zeller needs more minutes....more....more.

[SHAQATTACK]

Zeller needs more minutes....more....more.

Totally agree..

He is trying hard to find his way on this team ...he should be rewarded.....we need him in there somSully and KO can play their natural position at four , and keep a Green at 3 where he has advantage over 95 % of players .

[gpap]

Oh, one more thing.

That back door pass from Sully to Turner in the 2nd quarter was awesome.

Not something you'd expect out of Sully.

As for Zeller, I agree.

He needs to play more.

[chenaren]

Really nice to finally have a solid backup big man like Zeller.

Now if only we could find a starting big man (center) lol.

[SHAQATTACK]

  Any time travel to Chicago and win ...

It was impressive win.   We had the energy and purpose .   Brooks saved them from a blowout in their own house.

Are you saying he was out of bounds, or it looked like he was out of bounds at the time? If it is the former, then they showed the replay from the baseline and he was inbounds. If it is the latter, then yeah, I agree. I was so scared that either the ref was going to blow the whistle and say out of bounds or Kelly was going to fall out of bounds with the ball. 

//edit BTW. Scalabrine brought up a good point about Olynyk tonight. He should spend some time mastering the euro step (although it may be harder for a big). As a mobile big, he can get to the basket pretty easily since he can get past the big guarding him. But there were a lot of times when he gets to the basket but a guard goes in and draws a charge. If he can control himself enough to do side step the defender or spin away from the defender that would be an easy basket.

Yea, watching it live, I almost cried b/c the angle made it look like he was definitely out but the replay showed he was quite a bit from being out.

You are correct..the replay showed he was clearly in....really not close from the reverse angle .....refs got it right.....whew

Man, talk about a seismic shift in terms of play.  The guy looked like complete garbage for most of the preseason, but then once the real games started, he plays really well.  Not light-the-world-on-fire great, but he's been solid, and he's also Rondo's favorite target when he's out there.  It's nice to see .

I THOUGHT he looked out of bounds, at first. But, if there was no call, then it's all good.
