89 Bulls, 80 Celtics

I'm pissed. I try to see everything in a positive light and try to build on even losses, but the passed couple of games have killed me. I don't know, I don't know what is going to happen with the team.

I'm in full panic mode right now, there is no way that Danny Ainge is not going to blow the team up and trade my favorite player in Rondo. This loss is completely inexcusable, well, I guess so was the Detroit loss too. But fuck man.

How do we score only 80 points? How is our offense so bad? We have scorers, we have players that are all star caliber, how are we so bad? I'm at a loss of words right now and depressed.

I fear March big time.

Celtics @ Bulls Preview

The Celtics were able to beat the Rose-less Bulls in Boston last weekend, it seems like the Bulls will be playing without their star again tonight. I am having a really hard time writing this preview, because I don't know if KG is going to play tonight. If he plays I think the Celtics have a good chance to win, because when he is out there he makes this Celtics defense one of the best in the NBA, but when he isn't this is just a different team.

I am expecting Pierce and Allen to show up tonight after that disgusting performance last night. Rondo should once again put up God-like stats with no Rose on the court. Still, I think this could be a very tough game for the Celtics. They are playing back-to-back games, on the road, and the last time they beat this team the Bulls they shot 38.6 percent, committed 13 turnovers and still only lost by 4.

Once again, if KG plays I give the Celtics a chance, but if he doesn't I think this could get ugly. I know DP gets pissed when I pick the Celtics to lose, but sorry I don't see them winning this game. Hopefully I am wrong.

Bulls win 89-85
Game starts at 8pm

95 Boston, 91 Bulls

I don't care that the Bulls were without Derek Rose, beating the best team in the NBA is still impressive. After Rondo getting thrown under the bus for the past week it was good to see him shut up all of his critics with putting on a stellar triple double performance.

Rajon Rondo is my favorite player on the team, he does frustrate me with inconsistency and I don't understand how he doesn't have these numbers every game. Last night Rondo slashed, passed and rebounded like a machine and finished up with 32 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds. He was an absolute monster, and when he plays aggressive like that, Kobe, Rose or CP3 wouldn't be able to slow him down. Best thing about last night he shot (10-13 from the line)

Hopefully this is the tipping point for him, where he realizes this is now HIS team and he needs to be the focal point.

The underlying story is that when Rondo plays like this Pierce suffers a bit and last night was no exception. The Truth finished with 9 points, and shot 4-10. Maybe he just had a bad game and I'm reading too much into this.

KG had a good double double with 13 points and 12 boards and Jujuan Johnson continues to impress me with chipping in 12 points himself.

Good win

New Deal For Derrick Rose

Well Chicago is not going to have to worry about Derrick Rose leaving any time soon. The Bulls signed an extension for a five-year, $94.8 million contract. Derrick Rose is one of the best PGs int he league and it will be fun to see how this team progresses in the future. I'm not a big believer in Carlos Boozer or Joakime Noah but I'm a big believer of Coach Tom Thibodeau.

If Tom Thibs can get this team to be stout defensively he can have them competing for a championship for years. I would like for them to get another wing scorer so Rose doesn't need to shoulder the burden every year, but whatever, they have a good team.
