Since when is beating the Bulls something that deserves its own thread?
Even the crappy Rockets manhandled the Bulls

Bulls are playing much better now that Skiles is gone.

Bulls are playing much better not that Skiles is gone.
Well, they're 3-3 under their new coach, which isn't bad, but isn't great, either.

During that stretch, they beat Charlotte, Milwaukee, and New York. They lost to San Antonio, Orlando, and Portland. So at the moment, they're playing .500 ball under their new head coach, which is more than you can say for Skiles' run this season.

We beat them in Chicago.

It was a good game by Portland, Roy has been playing great. It's nice seeing this young team keeping it together down the strech and not panicking. Good reaction and smart play all around.

Bulls didn't have Deng in the second half, that makes a difference. Both teams were exhausted by the end.

Actually they are 3-2 under their new coach. Jim Boylan didn't coach against San Antonio. Pete Myers was the coach for that game while Boylan and Paxson discussed the interim head coaching position.

That was a good win for those young guns they are playing very well. Might even say they are playing the best ball in the West right now. :toast

good tough test, confidence building for the Blazers, even if it was vs Bulls.

I'm not sure tonight's Spurs would have beaten the Bulls.

Good call.

portland looks good.

Hey I drive a Trailblazer :tu

[bdubya]

Portland had some trouble getting crunch-time shots past Big Ben (two shots blocked, both potential game-winners IIRC). But they got control back both times. Gutty win for the Blazers.

its noteworthy when you are the Trailblazers

[tlongII]

Guess how many turnovers we had in the 4th quarter and both overtimes?

ZERO!

[ancestron]

The Bulls have some serious problems

[Armando]

They rely too much on Gordon. He is a great player but he needs more help like a post presence. Paxson passing on Gasol and Aldridge was not smart.

Anyone see the Blazers sideline reporter tonight on NBATV?

Holy Shit! Chick is bangin.

[Otaku]

And won again tonight :)
