BULLS WIN!!! BULLS VS CELTICS GAME 4 RECAP

Yayayayayayayayayayay!!! OMG WHAT A GAME! I am struggling right now because I had a long weekend which included watching the Draft all day at Stretch Run on Saturday, and then going out all night and then heading to the Bulls game this morning at 10am. I honestly can't move right now! I am totally burnt out from that and the game, but man, what a classic though! I'm so glad I got to go to the game though. Thanks a ton Pravs!

It's crazy, Game 3 was the worst Bulls game I had ever been to in my life, and now Game 4 is one of the best ever! It's right up there with some of the games I got to check out at the Old Chicago Stadium. Man what a game though! I'm calling it right now, I bet they replay that game on ESPN Classic! There were 28 lead changes, 12 ties, and 2 overtimes! The game went back and forth from tip off, and never let up. In the end though, every single Bulls player played their hearts out and we came out with the W! It was unreal. Every Bulls player finished with double digit pts(except for Hunter who came in just for a few seconds)...

BGeezy was unreal, especially in the second half. He hit not 1, but 2 unreal shots. Dude's always been clutch, even when he was a rookie! What's nuts is that he played the entire second half and overtime with a messed up hamstring! He heard it pop, but he took a shot for the pain, and kept on playing. And boy did he put on the show. When he hit that 3, the crowd noise was so loud that I swear I felt like I was back at the old Chicago Stadium. The entire place was literally deafening, and the ground was really shaking. It was amazing! BGeezy finished with 22 pts. In case you missed the shot heard around the world, check it out. I love the Bulls minions like Roberson and Gray on the bench. They always do whatever BGeezy does. Check out Roberson grabbing his junk Bgeezy style after the shot haha...



Everyone else played great too. DRose took over in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter. It was nice to see him ask for clear outs and get it going when the team needed him. He finished 1 assist short of a triple double. Rose finished with 23 pts, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists. That would've been sick if he got that. He did disappear a little bit in the ot's, but luckily BG, Salmons, and Noah stepped up then. He needs to learn to assert himself a little bit more, but that will only come with time.

There are a ton of Noah haters out there, but this kid played great. His hustle and heart showed this game, and he came up with some huge blocks, boards, and dunks in this one. Noah finished with 12pts,10 boards, and 3blocks.

Salmons was quiet for the entire first half, but then really came through with some big shots towards the end of the game, especially in the overtimes. He also hit 4 straight clutch free throws, that was the difference. Salmons finished with a quiet but affective 20 pts.

TT played well too. He did have some crazy fadeaways and jumpers which always scare the hell out of me, but overall he played hard, and came through with some nice buckets, boards, and swats. TT finished with 14pts, 10 boards, 3 swats, and 2 steals.

Brad Miller was his usual self. He had some nice passes, played tough, and scored well down low. He also got pissed and got into an altercation with Big Baby after Big Baby hit him with a hard foul. It was nice to see Miller step up for him and his teammates after the Celtics repeatedly fouled the Bulls hard throughout the game. This definitely got the team and the crowd fired up! You can't get into fights, but you have to be smart, and step up for your teammates at an important juncture in the game, and Miller did both. Miller finished with 12 pts and 5 boards.

I left Hinrich for the end because I've been pretty hard on him these last two seasons. I just wanted to take a second and give him some props for his performance in this game. Not only did he hit some big shots, take the ball to the cup well, but he played some great defense in this game. Once they put him on PP, he put the clamps down on him. He also guarded Rondo 1 on 1 for the last shot, and played some great D by staying in front of him. Everyone else got the props for this game like BGeezy and DRose, but we definitely couldn't have won this game without Hinrich either.

Everyone played great, and it was great to see these Bulls play with such heart and effort in this game. Especially after the way they came out in game 3. This series is already turning out to be one for the ages, and I definitely see it going 7 games. I just hope our Bullies can come out of this one on top, because I think they deserve this for the way they are playing right now!!!

In case you missed the game, here are the highlights...



Some other random thoughts on the game. Man wayyy too many turnovers and missed free throws. Everytime the Bulls could run away with the game, they either missed a free throw, or committed a turnover. They really need to work on this if they want to win this series. Another thing I did like was them trapping Rondo on the inbounds passes. It was smart and it confused the Celts towards the end of the game.

Also, as a Basketball fan, you got to love this Point Guard battle. Rondo vs DRose has been a battle for the ages. Did you see their box scores in Game 4? Rondo is averaging a freaking tripe double in the series for God's sake. He has been the best player in this series for sure. What is great to me is that both are so young too. I know the West has CP3 vs DWill, but the East now has DRose vs Rondo for the next 10 years!!! That is going to be awesome to watch as a NBA fan and a Bulls fan. Ok I'm outtie, but real quick some Bears thoughts. I thought the Bears had a great draft in my opinion, so I will post more thoughts on them and post some player videos soon. Just wanted to get that in there.

Go Bulls!!! BGEEZY FOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! DROSE FOOO!!!! YA YAYAYAY!!!
