Sefolosha hits. Green misses. Rondo swoops in but can't get the dunk of the miss to go down. Time out with Chicago up 92-72 and 2:48 left in the 4th.

Bulls inbound. 3 second violation on the Bulls. Celtics inbound. Rondo brings it up and gets it to Ray. He hits an open 3. Celtics break up the pass out of bounds. Bulls inbound iwht 12 on the SC. Celtics called for a foul. Both FTs are good. Ray misses a jumper. Bulls rebound. Bulls miss and Powe goes up in a crowd and tips out the rebound to Green. Powe is fouled by Sweetney and goes to the line. He misses the first and hits the second FT. Griffin hits ajumper from the FT line. Ray hits a jumper. Griffin hits a jumper. Celtics turn it over. Sefolosha misses. Celtics rebound. Tony is fouled. he hits both FTs. Bulls score on an alley oop dunk. The crowd goes crazy as the Bulls hit 100 because everyone gets a free big mac or something when they score 100. Green misses a jumper. Powe grabs the rebound and hits a baseline jumper as the buzzer sounds. Final score Bulls 100, Celtics 81. Our starters were very flat. Pierce did next to nothing and by the time that last group started playing with energy and played hard, we were in too big of a hole.
Celtics ended up shooting 40% to the Bulls 46%. We had 19 turnovers to 17 for the Bulls. We shot only 68% from the FT line. We outscored them in the paint 38-28. We were out rebounded 46-39. Our defense was very poor. Our shooting was poor. The energy on the starters was very poor.
Tony Allen won the Tommy Award. He played the best tonight that he has played all season.

That's what Tony can do, guys!!! He's been a forgotten man, but remember this is what he did towards the end of last season. I think his game is finally getting on track again. He's got to get comfortable out there and feel the flow of the game; that's when he's the most effective. Not 5 minutes here and there. He doesn't get into any kind of rhythm like that.
Boy, would I like to get either Nocioni or Safolosha. They are smart pllayers who attack and know when to drive and when to pull up. I give credit to the Bulls organization for being able to spot good talent when they see it. More and more, international players are starting to emerge.

Boy, things are not getting too much better, are they? It's still early, but if the team can't even match what they did last year, it would IMO really be time for a new coaching staff. It's one thing to progress slowly, but to take a step back for the second year in a row would really be a sign that Doc's coaching is not taking us anywhere.

Not only do we have a young and inexperienced team, but our coaching staff is also young and inexperienced. I mean, anyone ever heard of Tony Brown before he came aboard? I know Armond Gilliam, but Armon Hill?
