Bulls lose to Grizz; Warrick dominates in 4th quarter

A very disappointing setback for the Bulls here in Memphis. My post game report:

The Bulls take on the Nets tonight (Saturday) who just lost at home to the Raptors.

Boston is now 22-2 with solid win over New Orleans.

Another game... another loss for the Pacers now at 7-14.

Kevin McHale still looking for his first win as a head coach (0-3). Minnesota fell to San Antonio.

The Cavs go to 20-3... 11 straight wins with a victory over Philly. The Sixers now 9-14.

Solid win for the Hawks over the Heat

Got to run... I'll blog soon.

Rose to the Rescue

Got to love what Derrick Rose accomplished in Saturday's win over the Grizz.  Vinny Del Negro put the ball in the rook's hands and the 20 year old came through.  This kid is special and I've said many times..he is the face of the franchise and the Bulls should build around him.  What a talent and the guy is a good person who is NOT immature.

Gooden was a force on the boards.  Hinrich was deadly from three point range.  Thabo and Aaron were solid with hustle plays.

This was a  game the Bulls had to have with road games ahead in Orlando and Cleveland.

Quick thoughts....

Can we just put Chris Paul in the Hall of Fame RIGHT NOW!!!!! Check out the nastiness in the Hornets win over the Cavs.   King James is not going to be in a cheerful mood when the Cavs play the Bulls Wednesday.

Got to love Joe Johnson-35 points  as the Hawks topped Philly.

The Nets recorded 39-count em -39 fouls and lost at home to the Warriors.

The Raps go to 3-0 beating the Bucks. 

After blasting the  Bulls Boston lost on the road at Indiana as Ford and Granger combined for 39. Granger lost his two front teeth  when Paul Pierce landed on him.

Okafor with a double-double as the Bobcats bagged a win over Beasley and the Heat..

The Bulls  get Dwight Howard and the Magic who lit up the Kings Saturday night.  The Kings are a mess.

The Pistons bench  scored 55 points in their win over the Wiz.

Kobe and the Lakers turned back Denver

Houston, Dallas, Utah, Phoenix all win..that's the way it works in the West.

Caught the end of the Texas-Texas Tech game on radio and the Red Raiders announcer was near cardiac arrest at the end of the contest....He flat out lost it.

My Michigan Wolverines fell apart to Purdue--Purdue! Are you flat out kidding me?  The Wolverines need some players-big time.

Great win for the Cats over a stunned Minnesota club.

So much for the Badgers-frauds in the  Big 10 this year.

If you really believe Notre Dame is a BCS club they need to win games against teams like Pitt.

Florida is the best college football  team I've seen the past four weeks

Congrats to the Blackhawks for  finally getting a shootout win!

Off to Orlando Sunday afternoon. Enjoy the NFL..Go Bears!

Always a pleasure.

 

News and notes around the league

The Bulls leave for Boston this afternoon. Based on Tuesday's performance against the Bucks don't expect any lineup changes.

The Celtics got their rings before their victory over the Cavs. After the game Doc Rivers said the Celtics can put that behind them and now concentrate on basketball... that's great news for the rest of the NBA.  Can Boston repeat? Or were they a one and done team?

Game time 8PM on ESPN 1000 with Bill Wennington and myself.  Neil, Stacey with the TV call on Comcast.

Just read Greg Oden will be out 2-4 weeks with a right foot injury. Let's hope sooner or later he gets healthy. Can you say Bill Walton  all over again from early years with the Blazers. Of course Walton led Portland to an NBA title in '77 ..the Blazers will gladly take that  once Oden resumes playing.

Caught plenty of ball...

Congrats to Michael Curry as he guided the Pistons past the Pacers.  He was born to lead.

Props to Terry Porter as well in his debut with the Suns.

Chris Bosh was rock solid in the Raptors win at Philadelphia.

The Wizards just can't score as they lost to the Nets.

Should I be impressed with the Knicks or disappointed with the Heat.

Curry and Marbury were spectators.  Make your own comments.

Joe Johnson led the Hawks past Orlando.  JJ can play for me any day of the week.

Rudy Gay isn't bashful.....

All Carlos Boozer does is play and put up numbers night after night.

Tough  night at the office for BD and the Clipps--Lakers win it 117-79.

ESPN is reporting the Lakers and Andrew Bynum are close on a three year-42 million dollar contract.

CP3 with a typical CP3 game we've come to know and expect 21pts 11 assists in the Hornets win over GST

How about the Bucks? Second game in a back to back marching in to a revved up OKC crowd of 19-thousand plus and they beat the Thunder.

How much are the Pacers willing to pay Danny Granger?

Congrats to the Phillies but my interest level in the World Series was below zero.

That's the update for now.  Thank you for YOUR time.
