So the Bulls lost the game yesterday with no timeout to make in the last seconds. It is sad that Del Negro had called all of them before. Perhaps this game also went to OT.
But who cares now. This game is lost. But it very good that the Bulls have won the first one.
Negatives from game 2:- No timeout left at the end of the game
- Bulls were outrebounded 36 to 50
- most blocked shots also getting to Celtics players
- Bulls had no answer what to do with Rondo (19 pts, 16 ast, 12 reb)
- second chance points deficit, Bulls have 12 Celtics have 32
Postives from game 2:- Bulls have a chance to win this game despite outrebounded so badly
- 14 blocked shots
- Nearly no bench contribution from the Celtics
- IMO Celtics really wanted to make a statement and win this game with a blowout - this don't happened
- Gordon's 42 points, it is good to see that different players can score high points (Rose 36 pts in game 1)
- fast break advantage, Bulls lead 21-10 in fast break points
The next two games at home will be difficult for Bulls and close games again. But with Bulls playing home I think Bulls have a chance to win both. This will be difficult and if the Bulls lose one of them, they showed that they can win at Boston.
Are the Celtics arrogant?

We were a team that doesn’t get give up 100 points in consecutive games, allow teams to shoot 49-50%. I think our best is yet to come in this series.”
It’s what you are supposed to say, though there didn’t seem as much conviction.
They showed us their C game for 2 straight games? I don't believe this.
Go Bulls!
