Game Thread #48: Bulls at Denver Nuggets
Well, this one is on ESPN2 (likely blacked out in Chicago, so more for us locals it's Red Kerr and Wayne the announcing super-soldier), and thus the whole country can see Bulls basketball in all its glory.
I'm still demoralized over the Utah game. THAT was the game to win, especially after their hot start.
Not sure if Duhon's playing tonight or not. I'm not ashamed to admit I missed the guy in Utah. With him hurt there's just too much Jannero Pargo on my television.

I didn't mind him

I'm with you
I think Legler must feel the need to ham it up when paired with Anthony and Screamin' A, since during the game I was really surprised and impressed.

Need Deng on the floor
I'm getting that itchy '2nd Half Bulls letdown' feeling.

Hinrich freaks out when he gets in the paint
Maybe a good analogy is in football where the elite quarterbacks are the ones who don't get rattled when the pressure is coming and stay in the pocket to make the pass that punishes the rush.
One of the big problems I have with the curls is that when he does that he turns his back away from 3/4 of the court. He can't see to make a pass and makes himself to a double team or a sneaky defender.
The move has no utility whatsoever!
Aside from that: Gordon and Chandler have been on fire this road trip!

Hinrich looks up...
But this game is not gonna be good for our griping about the drive curls, cuz they guards are certainly gonna feel shellshocked after The Camby Experience.

Thank God
Block!
Clutch free throws by Nocioni.
Melo 3 pointer at buzzer is no good!!!
And the losing streak is over.
By the way, I just wanna say that since I discovered the world of commenting online on this wonderful site, it's given me opportunity to vent my plentiful frustrations.
But when we have what I can only assume were server problems during games, I am a blabbering mess. (I know, I have no life.)
That throw-up of a fourth quarter by the Bulls was exasperated by not being able to comment on it.

The block was sweet
I was surprised...
But maybe there is some justice after the jump ball call.

Great block

Well
TV coverage
I did listen to the first several minutes of ESPN2's broadcast then I switched to radio. I prefer to listen to Neil Funk on the radio while I watch the game on TV. I've heard everything Red & Tom Dore have to offer far too often.
Unfortunately the time delay between the radio broadcast & the TV picture can vary between zero and 5 seconds. It would be nice if WMVP could have the engineer adjust the delay to keep the radio play by play in synch with the TV signal. It's probably not possible though, since the game is broadcast over air, via Dish & Direct TV Satelite and Comcast Cable and I doubt that they are all in synch.
Last night I noticed that ESPN2 was 4-5 seconds behind WGN on the telecast, but WMVP & WGN were virtually in synch.
ESPN
Then the Bulls collapsed and almost lost, serving as a reminder to everyone WHY they have the record they do.

I don't get it
Woulda commented on this last night...
More than their defense, their offense disappeared with about a six minute display of bad shot selection and turnovers.
Kirk had the proverbial deer-in-headlights thing going on.

GameFlow!
Again, Nocioni is a big-time minus.
