The Official 2004 - 2005 Chicago Bulls Thread

[Jon]

This is the first Bulls game I've been able to watch in probably at least three weeks. The Bulls took the 6-4 lead with about 5:30 left in the first and haven't looked back yet. 21-16 at the end of the first quarter.

Gordon stepping up in the 1st quarter!

 

TONI KUKOC SIGHTING!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Marcus Fizer sighting. :shock: And the refs are making some poor calls, imo.

I'll say. How was that a foul on Noc?

 

44-41 at the half.

[Jon]

Trailing by one in the third because they can't get a defensive board to save their lives right now.

Milwaukee are getting some lucky offensive rebounds; they're out of position but somehow tip the ball around and end up with possesion.

 

Down 70-63 after 3. :(

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Bulls on an 8-0 run to open the fourth and they take the lead, 71-70. Hinrich with 6 of those points.

I'd place more blame on the Bulls than credit the Bucks' luck.

 

Nice to see them finally missing some open shots. This is exactly the start to the fourth that the Bulls needed to have.

 

By the way, I think they may need a crane to pick up Harrington the next time he falls down.

LOL. I've never seen two players unable to help a guy off the floor before.

By the way, I love Kirk and all, and he's my favorite player, but I hope they really funnel the shots through Gordon here. He's got to be the first option. Sometimes Kirk takes annoying shots in the 4th. (his early six pts notwithstanding).

No kidding. 75-70, Bulls (now it's a 12-0 run).

[snoodmonger]

Mason's got one fugly free throw stroke.

It looked like he was going to drag them down with him.

 

Gordon's hot shooting continues.

[snoodmonger]

I'd forgotten how big of a "black hole" Fizer is. That last shot was fine, but I swear, once you pass it to him, there's no getting it back.

[snoodmonger]

Gordon needs to be shooting these shots.

[Jon]

Gordon needs to be shooting these shots.

Hinrich was wide open for both of those. Of course, now the Bulls are down by two.

 

This officiating leaves something to be desired...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Harrington fouls out, Bulls and refs need to stop sucking.

 

Down 82-80, Milwaukee ball. :(

Yeah, they weren't bad shots; I'd just like to see Ben touch the ball a bit more.

Can't pass up open looks.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

How long does it take Joe Smith to shoot FTs?

 

Nice turnover for Smith!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

That's a 3-pointer by both Hinrich and Duhon that has gone in and out. :(

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The Bulls need to be finishing strong - they haven't lately. AD needs to make layups. Ugh. :(

Hinrich also needs to just stop shooting right now. After missing three wide open threes, it's about time to pass it off.

 

And Gordon shouldn't have to throw up a shot like that. Ugly.

At this point, someone needs to score. Thank you Tyson. Here we come, three-game losing record. :(

 

Wow, 3 FGs and yet the Bucks have scored 20 in the 4th (and the Bulls scored the first 12 points in the quarter too).

[Jon]

Ugly loss. They gave Milwaukee way too many second chance opportunities and couldn't shoot worth a lick in the second part of this quarter.
