Waiting on game 3...

PrintI'll be Lovin' it Live tonight, wearing red (business casual, naturally), and I cannot wait. Anyone who thinks it's better to be a lottery team than a first round loser hasn't been to a playoff game.
Alright, maybe the same excitement isn't shared in, say, Detroit. But for Bulls fans it's been officially declared after two games: this series is entirely winnable. I don't see the Bulls rolling tonight simply because they're at home, but it'd be awesome if it happened: a runnin' rollin' stompin' of this old and/or fat Celtics team in front of a crowd that actually gets excited for something other than Big Macs. (It's the playoffs, after all)
And the actual in-game excitement (I save my reservations about 'on the rise'-ness for the off days...or, right after Vinny does something dumb, whatever) is further accentuated by an extreme dislike of the Celtics. So the C's fans hate Noah? Fine: Perkins and Davis more than make up for it from my end, with the cherry on top being the preening braying jackass known as KG. Mugging like he knows a camera is on him at all times. Might as well give him a fake bloody sock like another Boston hero.
May the Bulls start and stay so hot that his faux-tough mannerisms look even sillier, to the point where he has to stay into the locker room after halftime, and is then assaulted by Davis when he finds out KG raided the post-game spread. Though that'd be the only story to top the one about the Bulls taking command of this series.

"Big Baby" Davis = a fat Mike Sweetney
"I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany." - Ron Burgundy
"Baby Baby" ++> a fat Mike Sweetney
no real comparison .. Davis aint really that bad and his so called “fat” is mixed more with muscle in comparison to big mac stuffing Sweetney.
Still it is possible he might get to Chicago early and have 10 large pizzas before the game tonight and forget KG is injuired….
man up!
Big Baby ate him.
(okay, I didn’t mean that)
And yes, Big Baby is in much better shape and is a better player than Sweetney. Davis is getting better every year, while Sweetney got worse every year.

They are going to re-present
Derricks ROY award tonight in front of the home crowd. That should get everyone fired up. Stern will be there too.
And cause for worry
since presentation games sometimes fire up the opponent, or allow the home team to lose their edge…
Wait, no worries! Go Bullies!

Perfect description for KG "A preening braying jackass" I say give him a real bloody sock instead of a fake one.
A victory would be doubly sweet to deflate this classless cretin down to size. While Rose shows complete class at all times, he is the anti-Rose.
Now if we can just overcome THE DUNCE, an apt title Bill Simmons labeled his piece on Vinny, whom he described as the anti-coach. This could turn out to be a glorious evening for die-hard Bulls fans, except for the albatross with slick hair they have to overcome, along with Rondo and crew.
Remember though, Simmons also predicted a Celtics series victory because of having Tim Thomas on our team. So naturally, VInny says he’s got to give him more floor time. Is there any way someone can bolt the locker room door at half-time right before he is getting ready to return, thus tripling the Bulls chance for a victory tonight?

I wonder if David Stern is gonna talk to KG, to keep his use of MF to less than 100 times per game
Figured he would be concerned about the image of the NBA.
Or is it okay as long as the player wears a nice suit?

Anyone know if John's groin issue has improved?
Would be a nice lift to the team if he could contribute efficiently again.
Thus, more Tim Thomas (a total guess).
Because, you know, Tim Thomas once played SF competently, even if it was 2 years and 20 lbs ago. Therefore, he must be better than Tyrus, so he’ll guard SF’s. I’m thinking.

I guess saying "motherfucker" over and over again makes you look intense
Somebody needs to tell KG that children are watching.
Why resort to name calling?

Nice trash-talking, Matt.
It seems you’re getting yourself well lathered for the festivities tonight. Go get ’em.
Let the hate flow through your veins
Garnett’s the best because he can curse 100 times a game due for his maddening love-affair for basketball. Because, as we all know, when you love someone or something, you verbally degrade it. That’s how Hinrich got married.

I expect Rose's confidence to be blown sky high after winning the ROY award
this might pressure the refs so they finally call on him like he deserves!
I hope he is inspired tonight…
I can't wait for game 6
I got tickets. 300-level standing room only, heh [yay, being poor].
This game … I get to enjoy vicariously.
Let’s kick some ass!!!
Joakim Noah: Better than you.
And if Vinny is going to insist on Tim Thomas playing
TiT better hit some huge 3s right in front of the Celtics bench, doing his hand-wave shit right in front of KG.

Yes I would love to see him do that to KG
and then see how angry KG becomes.
I wont mind TiT getting a few extra minutes
if he can do his “you can’t see me” motherfucker in front of KG
I love it.

Well put, my friend.
I still think that Doc Rivers is def. ruling out KG because they are going to try and pull a “Willis Reed” or a Paul Pierce getting taken off on a wheel chair act. I’ve said this from the moment he had his press conference and he was so emphatic about KG being out and I’ll say it now.

I remember when the superstar call was Michael Jordan pushing off. Did that dude ever flop? The only reason he wanted to be fouled was so he could get that third point. It is why I have loved watching Derrick Rose in the playoffs (and granted the Hawks are not playing against him), but the man just goes at it. Sometimes the shot goes in and sometimes it doesn’t, but he lets the skills speak, and it makes for great basketball.

Maybe use Linton Johnson or Gray a bit more for spot minutes relief for TT and Noah
Use Miller early while his legs are still awake.
Davis and Perkins had no problem scoring inside. We need to show a better interior defense.
Maybe Gray can body up Perkins better than the skinny blocking bigs?
man up!
Stop Rondo's penetration
and Davis and Perkins won’t hurt you inside.
What Rondo did to Rose in game 2 – two quick fouls merely my using transition to attack the rim – is the theme Derrick needs to employ. The coaches better freaking stress this.

I believe some of the current coaching staff probably also notice this ... now will Vinny listen ... or stress
I’m da coach.. and imploy no special defense to neutralize Rondo.
Your correct.. Rondo is probably the most important guy on the Boston team with the current injuries (KG & company). Without him (Rondo), they are the 2005-06 & 2006-07 Celtics with the addition of an older Ray Allen who equals about (+3 more wins per season)
man up!
TT doesn't need more rest
Brad Miller is the one that needs rest. He’s good but he’s old. Mr slow gets even slower. VDN must do a better job distributing minutes between TT, Noah and BM.
I’m curious with the Gray experiment also but no way he should play more than 8mins unless he’s playing like shaq.
TiT should also not play more than 5mins unless he gets hot and starts pulling his “you can’t see me” out
I believe Davis and Perkins have the ability to cause fouls for our Bigs...
conversely, our Bigs rarely help draw their Bigs into fouls. Rose and Gordon are drawing the fouls against the Boston Bigs.
TT should take it inside more to force fouls because he has the ability. I agree,, Gray experiment is interesting. I believe he has some offensive moves to draw fouls and strength to issue some, but because he hasn’t played.. he may not get any respect from the refs..
I agree 100% on TiT,, if he can hit his first 3 out of 4 shots (or missed them), then he’s done his job for the night.. Sit him the rest or the game. Either way.
man up!
Gray could trip and squash one of the good Boston players. 0_o
Maybe we can?

Gray could wind up being the MVP of the series if he accidently trips
and lands squarley on Rondo’s bum ankle. Not very ethical, but as they say………
All’s far in love and war…and this is war NBA style.

I agree with Matt there is no way being in the lottery is better than being in the playoffs.
Each game is like a new canvas. You never know what to expect. I am hoping and praying we win tonight. I don’t care if it is ugly – just win!
Unless the lottery results in a MJ or Rose.

I haven't fully looked at the draft this year,
but it doesn’t really look that good. The Bulls might as well have gone, because I doubt even the 1st pick will have any immediate contribution to their team next year.
Is Paul Pierce hurt?
The Celtics announcers are talking about that… They said Sam Smith wrote that?!?!?!?!
Sam Smith is just speculating
http://blogs.bulls.com/chicago_bulls_blog/2009/04/could.html
I think he’s more likely to be either just tired or not motivated anymore since KG is out and they have no chance of winning the title. Or he just had two bad games and will come out aggressive in game 3. What did the announcers say about him?
streaming radio?
will be stuck traveling during the game. anyone know where I can listen to the game online?
vanillablue.wordpress.com
anyone know where to watch this game live?
im in france studying abroad, and im looking for a website to stream the game internationally.. anyone have an idea?
Most of which are usually duds. :(
Maybe we can?

Hopefully if we can only get the Boston announcers, the Bulls audio link I posted
above will sync up reasonably well. Wenny and Swirsky >>> Heinsohn.

Who's your unlikely gamechanger tonight?
I feel as if Hinrich will have a strong game along with the usual suspects of Gordan and Rose
Bulls in 7!
