    Boston is so lucky that Rondo is out, Chicago's PG rotation is atrocious without him.

    Didn't think the Bulls would be this bad, but I knew they would struggle. Not sure why Butler isn't the PG.

    Celtics not trying to back you up on this claim. 11 point 2nd quarter.

    Avery Bradley has been OUTSTANDING tonight. Clinical defensive performance.

    has al horford ever boxed someone out?

    i know we're paying anderson 18 million to go 0-12, but horford at 30 per year? yikes.

    also, does horford get to stare the crowd down after a dunk? that was set up by somene else. when he's down 0-2 to the 8 seed?

    Amazing how good Avery Bradley is at defense when you consider he's only 6'2. His footwork and speed are ridiculous.

    C's are unconscious tonight.

    Bulls offense is clueless without Rondo. Never thought I'd say that this year.

    They are not on TNT the next game as well I think.

    TNT national coverage > Rondo Injury

    Inserting Gerald Green was a pretty great adjustment by Stevens.

    Bulls/Hoiberg have no idea what to do on offense without a true point guard in Rondo on the court. Butler and Wade basically need to have monster games every game at this rate.

    It is sad how far MCW has fallen and forgot how to play basketball.

    Bulls need to play Denzel Valentine. Grant and MCW should probably never see another minute. Maybe not even Canaan, but at least he can shoot.

    Wade/Butler/Zip/Mirotic/Lopez is their best lineup.

    Canaan playing really well. Color me surprised. But then again IT is so useless on defense. 4th string point guard giving him the business.
