Super Bowl in April
If the Bulls win game four this afternoon against Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, I will rank it above the NFL’s Super Bowl.
We all know, the Super Bowl is the Mecca of American sports. Once upon a time, it was the MLB’s World Series, but these days, football has past baseball as the number one watched or paid attention to American sport.
James too much for the Bulls
The Bulls played a solid game. I couldn’t ask for more from them. Lebron James was just too much for the Bulls, as the Cavs took game two, 112-102.
Three players scored more than 20 points. Joakim Noah scored 25, Derrick Rose 23 and Luol Deng 20. Instead of getting killed by 12 rebounds, they grabbed one more than the Cavs 37-36. Including 13 offensive rebounds, seven of which were grabbed by Noah.
Do or die situation
Congratulations to the Bulls for making the dream of a playoff birth last one more day with the win against the Boston Celtics. Now, is the final challenge.
If the Bulls defeat the seventh seed Charlotte Bobcats tonight, they will be the eighth seed in the eastern conference. If they don’t win and the Toronto Raptors beat the New York Knicks tonight, then the Bulls stay in Chicago while the Raptors continue to play.
The Bulls have won two games against the Bobcats, including a game a week and a half ago. If the Bulls play with the same tenacity and poise they did against the Celtics, then they will be in the playoffs. Lets make it happen, D-Rose and company.
Win against Raptors takes 8th seed
The Chicago Bulls are finally back in the playoff tree, well for now. The Bulls bone stomped the Toronto Raptors 104-88 to steal the eighth and final spot in the playoffs from the Raptors.
This is great. the bad part is, the Bulls now have to rely on the Raptors to lose their last two games against the bad Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks. The Raptors are not a good team, but it is going to be hard for them to lose both of these games even if their star, Chris Bosh, isn’t in the lineup.
Fear No Deer
Three days after the Bulls played the Charlotte Bobcats and Tyrus Thomas for the first time since he was traded, the Bulls will play their other mid season traded player, John Salmons and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Salmons went to the Bucks and has become their leader, averaging 20 points and four assists a game. Since he has been a Buck, they have an impressive 18-6 record and went from not thinking about the playoffs to the fifth seed in the eastern conference.
He is a good shooter, when he is on, but he is very inconsistent. I didn’t mind when the Bulls got rid of him. I’m glad he is playing well, but I still think he will filter out to 13 or 14 points per game.
I’m sick of hearing everyone saying fear the deer.
