The Bulls played tonight without Derrick Rose due to a neck spasm, and of course, without Carlos Boozer who has been out with a broken hand after "falling over luggage at his house" (coughing while saying bullshit)...
Anyway, a win was a lot to ask for, especially after the Bulls quickly were down double digits yet again. However, I came away with two observations from this game:
1. I'm LOVING the Coming to America reference/impersonation by Bulls TV announcer Stacey King in regards to Bulls reserve guard C.J. Watson. Watson stepped up huge today, scoring 32 and making big crunch time buckets, which provided even more "Mr. Randy Watson(!)" references...
2. This was kinda a heartbreaking loss given how short-handed the Bulls were yet STILL could've/should've won the game. Deng played great for 47 minutes and 56 seconds of the game, but the last 4 seconds when he was guarding 'Melo was pretty bad. It was like watching a DB play 10 yards off a receiver at the 5 yard line. The key moment of the game, in my opinoin, was a coaching gaffe. Why was John Lucas III in the game when Denver had to foul??? He hasn't played in God knows how long! You can't have a guy that far removed from playing competitive bball in at the key moment. Brutal. Oh well....
by the way, it was pretty noticeable that 'Melo has checked out.
im diggin the blog. sexual chocolate..hilarious. i have come to appreciate stacey "sky" king over the years...i dont think he will ever be skying again with his 400lb frame...i have to agree with the john lucas comment..thats a "come on man" moment..tell me he doesnt look like a skinny carlton banks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlxjbhB9HE
ReplyDeleteBri--Regarding that last four seconds, I don't know which Bulls' player was guarding the guy on the perimeter next to Carmelo, but don't you think he should have left his man and immediately ran at Carmelo? A hand wave from six feet away isn't much help in that situation. Either he makes Carmelo take a more difficult shot or forces him to pass. What say you? Dud
ReplyDeleteyeah, Brewer had to get over there! There was only 4 seconds on the clock...not enough time to drive to the basket. If Melo hits a Jordan-esque fade away with two guys in his face so be it, but you can't let him take a minimally-contested, rhythm jump shot.
