    I wasn't able to watch the game. Was Milton getting booed last night?

    That Simmons article is a good read but I'm getting a "let's hype up this series that has been awesome so far only to see it fizzle into a mediocre one" vibe from it.

    McShay's 7 (!) round mock is out. He has the Bears taking: (49) Chicago Bears Derrick Williams WR Penn State (99) Chicago Bears (Compensatory) Corvey Irvin DT Georgia (119) Chicago Bears Captain Munnerlyn* DC South Carolina (140) Chicago Bears (from Denver through Seattle) Courtney Greene SS Rutgers (154) Chicago Bears Jonathan Luigs OC Arkansas (190) Chicago Bears Joel Bell OT Furman (246) Chicago Bears (compensatory) Mortty Ivy OLB West Virginia (251) Chicago Bears (compensatory) Phillip Hunt DE Houston I have to say I don't know much about most of these guys outside of Williams.

    I think the biggest difference between Rose and Francis is above the neck, not anything in their physical skill set.

    Well, that's what happens when you base your conclusions off a two-game sample size. Boston is a better team than the Bulls. They're not head and shoulders better than the Bulls without Garnet, but they're measurably better. I couldn't be happier about a 1-1 split with the game two loss coming on a last second shot. I would dispute the notion that they are measurably better--marginally better at best. You take the Celtics, sans KG, and project them over an 82 game schedule and you take the Bulls team that is out there now and I'd be hard pressed to say that the Celtics would win more ball games.

    I'm no longer looking at it as the Bulls "stealing" one on the road against Boston. You watch these last two games and you cannot come to any other conclusion that Boston, without KG, is AT BEST equal to the Bulls. From that perspective, losing this game hurts a lot. I'm pleased with how they played too but now you look at every long offensive rebound Boston was able to coral and Vinny's heinous handling of TOs as anything but completely inexcusable.
  7. SpongeWorthy
    How does Vinny not leave one more timeout at the end of regulation, AGAIN? That is [expletive] inexcusable.
  8. SpongeWorthy
    i think we've exhausted miller's usefulness in this game. Boston is still crashing the offensive glass. Thomas in OT if we get that far, plz.
  9. SpongeWorthy
    There has to be a better alternative to "have Brad Miller make a play" when they double team Rose off the pick and roll.
  10. SpongeWorthy
    Benny is in "doing 'em like that" mode!
  11. SpongeWorthy
    Ahhhh, Salmons just need to just realize when it's not there. Rose also needs to come get the ball when John gets in "I'm shooting this no matter what" mode.
  12. SpongeWorthy
    Rose needs to attack this quarter. Not a single free throw attempt and nothing in the paint or in transition. Bulls have adjusted nicely with the other guys but they're gonna need him to create down the stretch.
  13. SpongeWorthy
    And yeah, Noah's kind of a tool. But he's our tool. Every good team has to have one. He's the homeless man's version of The Worm.
  14. SpongeWorthy
    How do you even reconcile being a Cubs and a Celtics fan anyway? It's unconscionable.
  15. SpongeWorthy
    Man, Rondo is really annoying. Great player, even on the gimpy ankle.
  16. SpongeWorthy
    Whenever Steph is on the floor a sense of calm comes over me. Eddie House on the other hand scares me a little.
  17. SpongeWorthy
    Kirk can't stay on the floor.
  18. SpongeWorthy
    Yes, time to dust off the magic wheelchair.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    Miller gets that ball near the foul line after they show the pick on Rose and he just fakes himself out. He's too damn slow.
  20. SpongeWorthy
    He gets into black hole mode once in awhile and it just looks awful.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    Yeah, Noah and Tyrus just need to learn to block it to our own guys. It seemed like on the first half of those blocks they went directly to Celtics players.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    Thank god for Lindsey Hunter.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    Bulls looked wayyy more nervous for the start of this game than the start of Game 1. They weathered an early storm and are only down by 6. Gordon and Salmons look pretty good. And the Miller haters have to admit, he boxes out much better than Tyrus does. He was getting waxed on the defensive glass.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    Yeah. For the first 9 minutes or so the Bulls were doing a horrible job of picking up Rondo before he had a full head of steam. Noah or Ty would block his shot and Baby/Perk would clean up. And as I type this, Tyrus spazzes out on a 2 on nothing fast break.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    There's two quick fouls on Rose. Rondo is killing with the pushes in transition. Gotta pick him up sooner.
