Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Rose playing, CJ Watson still out

Recap from shootaround this morning, from KC Johnson:

For the second straight day, coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose is fine after logging close to 35 minutes on Monday in his return from missing five games with back spasms.

"He’s good, fine," Thibodeau said. "He did everything."

Watson suffered a mild concussion in Saturday's loss to the Nets when he ran into Kris Humphries. The NBA instituted a new policy in December. To be cleared, a player must first be free of symptoms, then remain symptom-free through increasing tests of exertion. Then, a league-hired neurologist must clear the player.

All things considered, fortunate timing for Watson as after tonight the Bulls don't play again until next Tuesday.

No word on how the league handles fan concussions self-induced from having to watch John Lucas III.

good news for bulls, Gooden torched bulls last game
Bucks down to 10 players tonight. No Gooden (wrist), T. Harris (shoulder) or Jackson (hamstring). Same starting lineup as last 3.

Don’t remember that. Didnt blow them out last game…

iirc

gooden played great in both games against us so far. but doesn’t matter, our team got the W. :)

Look
I didn’t want to offend anyone by saying the "f" word or generalizing my statement to any particular sex by saying "gays" or lesbians" or "bi’s" so "homos" is the most "politically correct" term. I’m just trying to be more tact in a tactless blog.

Crap, stupid no delete

I wouldn’t say torched. We just kept fouling him. We usually play great D without fouling, but he’s been to the line 20 times against us.

I wouldn't say torched either,

Just because they lost.

But realistically he got whatever he wanted on the offensive end, it was embarrassing to watch even in a game we had completely wrapped up in the first 5 minutes.

Hot Garbage played pretty well in garbage time vs. us

There are some good games coming up after the break.

Spurs, 76ers, Pacers, Magic, Knicks, and then the Heat on March 14. Also the Hornets, Cavs, Bucks, and Jazz as potential trap games. Let’s hope the Bulls come out of the break with everyone healthy and playing well. That means you, Rip Hamilton.

I'll be at the Spurs game...

…. I sure hope we roll over them , but it’ll be a back to back game for us.

Same here...

only Texas game this season. Hopefully Rip is back and we can see the Bulls going on all cylinders.

Out of those touch matchups, I'd really love to see them beat the Sixers, Pacers and Knicks.

Sure, a win over the Heat would be great, too, but the Bulls need to send a message to those three teams.

Hmm, I was gonna type about how that's stupid thinking, but then I realized just how badly I wanted to beat those three teams

The doctors thought I died. My heart stopped beating for almost a minute. I came back, and weeks later, when people asked me what I remembered, I told them: "Omer Asik".

The only way the Hornets at home is a trap game is if they put claymores in the Bulls' locker room

They lost to the Nets at home.

But that was without Rose, so barring injury, it will be a win.

by Tim S. on Feb 23, 2012 2:43 PM CST up reply actions  

Claymores lmao

Is it just me, or does the NBA's concussion policy seem far better then the NFLs

CJ Watson had to sit out cause of a migraine may be a sign of a mild concussion. If that were the NFL, he’d be back there within a few minutes.

Bears. Bulls. White Sox.

by The Voiss on Feb 22, 2012 2:54 PM CST reply actions  

NFL players are more willing

to lie to get back on the field. CJ may just be responding more truthfully.

by kingj41 on Feb 22, 2012 2:58 PM CST up reply actions  

not to mention nfl players have a week before games

since the headache its only been 3 days? 4 at most?
