But I want to give Chase Bud playing time. haha. and I get Batum.

[KidJustin]

Love the pictures, keep it up with your record

Thanks Justine

Bud in Clipps!? Well, not a bad choice.)

And how's T-Mac in here?

BTW, this is my 2nd time posting.

Well,KidJustin has to take all the props for this trade as he's the GM of the Clippers.
I like T-Mac really much and he really has better shooting abilities than Bulls' original SGs,so he helps a lot,though I play Korver in the SG in crunch time...

how are the new guys doing anyways?

[George7]

KidJustin, Well,Clipps are 1-2 after the trades(Grizzlies L,Bucks W,Sixers L). But Budinger really kills it so far,with 20 points - 13 points and 27 points in the first three games.The other guys have been a non factor so far,and i expected Morrow to be better.It's early though,we'll see in a little while how these will play...

[KidJustin]

not bad...they just need time to gel

for budinger

February 9, Toyota Center
Chicago Bulls(27-6) @ Houston Rockets(21-19)


Bulls-Rockets notebook
Preview|Recap|Head To Head(click here)|

THE FACTS:Kevin Martin ,Yao Ming and Aaron Brooks combined for 70 points ,leading the Rockets on the win against the Chicago Bulls. Martin had 30 points,4 assists and 5 steals,while Yao and Brooks added 20 apiece,with the first having 8 rebounds,3 steals and 2 blocks and the latter adding 8 assists as well.

For Chicago,Luol Deng kept playing big.He had 29 points,4 assists and 3 steals,but again,his big game didn't lead the Bulls on a win.Derrick Rose with 25 points ,9 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks was near a double double again,but despite his efforts, Rockets got the win.

THE STAT:Luis Scola and Yao Ming had 17 rebounds in total,1 more than the whole Bulls' team.Bulls got outrebounded in this contest,despite being a fairly good team on that sector,with players like Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer on their paint.

TURNING POINT: With 3.50 remaining on the game,Rockets completed a 16-5 run to switch the game completely and take the lead in it.Despite the chances Bulls got to pass ahead,Rockets maintained their composure,and with the momentum on their side sealed the game from the Free Throw line.

HOT: Luol Deng and Kevin Martin really put on a show exchanging buckets all the time.The two players,who were both drafted in 2004(Deng 7th and Martin 26th),shot great,with Martin being 13-20 from the field and Deng being with an almost excellent 13-14 shooting,missing only one (desperation) three pointer at the end of the game!

ROOKIE WATCH:Patrick Paterson out of Kentucky was a total 0 on this match,as he didn't register a single stat,while Bulls' Greg Monroe scored 4 points,in a bad night for the two rookies.

NOT:Chicago Bulls had now lost 3 out of the last 4 games they've played.

THE MOMENT:Former Rocket,Tracy McGrady was booed by a lot of fans,by the time subbed in the game, in his return in Houston.He seemed affected by this as he scored only 4 points.

UP NEXT:February 13 @ Minnesota Timberwolves

FINAL SCORE:Houston Rockets - Chicago Bulls 103-101

Jordan Brand Player Of The Game:Kevin Martin

30 Points , 2 Rebounds , 4 Assists, 5 Steals


Highlight Reel

Yao scoring a lot of his points with the unstoppable hook shot!

Despite holding him down,Iverson couldn't stop Martin from scoring this amazing bucket!

Every time D-Rose storms on the open court,you're going to have something great to watch!!

Yes,every time!!

Deng is becoming a huge force for the Bulls lately...

While others would just tip the ball in,Noah decided to break the rim!!

[karlsanada10]

Oh T-Mac. I think he doesn't deserve to be booed.

[Axel The Great]

Great to see my man K-Mart coming up big. Yao's hook shot is a big time cheese in the game; get it off within 5-8 feet and even the most perfect defense won't stop it because of his height. Pretty odd that him and Scola outrebounded your whole team, though.

[George7]

Oh T-Mac. I think he doesn't deserve to be booed.

well,tell that to Rockets' fans

I know,and in fact, I believe that this advantage Yao and Scola had against my tall guys proved to be the one which gave Rockets the game...

[kibaxx7]

I really don't think T should be booed. Nowhere

[George7]

I really don't think T should be booed. Nowhere

Some people don't pay respect to the ones deserve it

phpBB [video]

But T-Mac showed in the past that he didn't really care!

phpBB [video]

[karlsanada10]

It's because he hates Magic's organization. I just saw a vid that he trashed talk the Magic's organization. But nevermind, he doesn't deserve it, but if he didn't care, then ok.

[Axel The Great]

Rockets fans aren't Magic fans, and we are most definitely not those idiotic things you call Laker fans. I still see a bunch of people wearing T-Mac jerseys here in Houston, so booing him when he comes to town isn't something that strikes me as something we'd do. I know I wouldn't boo him anyways.

[KidJustin]

fans will be fans..some boo some cheer former players

it would happen to everyone..

either way...4 points by T-mac? i dont think it was the boos that bothered him....maybe he is gettin old

[Cruzerr]

Damn , tough to see you in a slump. Maby the next game against the Wolves is a start for some winning* Charlie Sheen style ofc *

I don't know,maybe.But I think it was just a cold day,he will be ok next game

Yeah Wolves are the perfect team for a blowout!

As for T-Mac,well,some fans in Houston booed him irl,but I can't find the reason why.I mean,the Rockets traded him away,and he had to move ahead with his career. He's not like LeBron James' case...

[karlsanada10]

LeBron deserves to be Booed. Not hating. But she leaves because her pride was crushed.

[George7]

I know I haven't updated this lately as often as I would like,but I've been working on a video lately,which is finally ready and uploaded!

phpBB [video]

What do you think? (FYI,I've made a typo-yes again-so Bogans is no5 on the video,not 6!)

Now I'm going to fasten things up in order to go to the ASW

[KidJustin]

nice video...
but watching it (since i dont watch a lot of bulls games/highlights)...its reminded me of a few things..

1) Derrick Rose is awesome
2) I still don't like Boozer
3) I still think Joahkim Noah is the ugliest current NBA player
4) I respect Loul Deng....he reminds of of Michael Finely for the Mavericks before Dirk became a star...respect that is usually forgotten
5) Derrick Rose is awesome
6) Gibson is from USC huh?
7) Derrick Rose is awesome
8) The Bulls have come a LONG way since the Baby Bulls
9) Derrick Rose is awesome
10) George7 and his trademark typos

[George7]

...and I think you forgot that Derrick Rose is awesome!

P.S. Damn I just can't find a f*****g link for the Bulls-Pacers game that won't lag all the time!!!

http://nba-legends3.blogspot.com/ Your welcome.

[George7]

Cruzerr, so far no lag,thanks!!If it keeps like this when the second half starts I owe you even more thanks!

[Cruzerr]

I agree with you guys. Derrick Rose is awesome ! The Pacers game just proves it

[George7]

He's not just awesome,he's amazing and unbelievable!!!Huge plays today!!!

[KidJustin]

man the Pacers looked like they were going to take it...Granger is a legit baller...sorry but the Bulls really didnt deserve the win...

but Derrick Rose is just so f*ckin awesome that he just took it over in the end....it should be against the law to make layups look THAT EASY..

[George7]

KidJustin, I know the Bulls didn't play that good to get the win,but you got to respect the greatness that is Derrick Rose!!
His last minute plays were unbelievable!! And of course huge props to Deng,Noah and Korver.Deng and Korver kept the Bulls on the game in the last quarter with Huge Threes,Korver also scored an even bigger three on the last minute to give Bulls the lead,and Noah got the And One on the end,and also made 2 consecutive blocks on Hansborough at the last 10 seconds to seal the game!
