Talk about a frustrating game one minute and than a thrilling fun one the next. The Bulls played down most the game to the terrible Bucks. Fear the DEER was an issue for most the game. The Bulls just seem to be in cruise control and figured they just hang around long enough to start playing when they wanted to. Boozer had his up and down moments. Noah seemed to be back with his active play. Thibs went with a bizarre 4th quarter rotation as he started Rose in the 4th which he never does but with most things coaching and Thibs he knows what he was doing.

The Bulls looked bored for most the game until they swooped in and stole the game with great defense and Derrick Rose in the last 3 mins.

They seem to play some of these bad teams with a laid back approach. Like they are figuring out that they can play half ass for most the game to only turn it on and win because they are that much better. It also could be just with it being so late in the season and players I am sure are wanting to get to the playoffs. The Bulls can't do this as they must keep the focus on the number one seed.

The Bench did play well in spots. The defense was bad in spots. Derrick Rose only put another vote in his box for MVP when he took over the game. He was unreal most the game. Derrick Rose never comes out of the gate and says "I'm scoring". He picks and chooses his spots to score and get his team the ball. He uses such a great balance of judgment when doing this. He simply won't chuck the ball until it goes in. Even when he has bad shooting nights, its just him missing open shots or lay ins. I rarely see Rose take bad shots.

The Players

Noah: Looked to be his old self. 12 pts and 11 rebs. Ran the floor well. Had a huge dunk in the forth to spur the run. #GAMER.
Boozer: Up and down game but a better one than his Grizzlies game. 14pts and 11 rebs is solid. He still wasn't great on defense but I do think he is trying unlike some Bulls fans.
Deng: Struggled tonight. Only had 6 and 5. I do think his heavy mins will catch up to him on some nights so he gets a pass in my book.
Bogans: Hit two 3s and had 8 points on a rare lay up. If he hits two 3s a game than he worth something.
Rose: Out of this world. One of his best games. He seems to light up when Jennings stands in front of him. He abused him most the night. Rose was clutch and helped his MVP cause.

The Bench Mob

Gibson: Not many mins for Taj. Only 13. Does come in play solid D no matter one. Still the ultimate role player.
Thomas: 2 pts and all sexy
Brewer: Huge game with 10 pts and a lot of energy. Got some good 4th quarter mins. Not to mention his 4rebs and 2 steals.
Watson: Was pretty good. Helped with some scoring in the 4th. Only one dime but no TOs so whatever.
Korver: Kyle had a off 3pt night since he missed all three but had two back to back jumpers that gave the bulls some push.
Asik: Only 8 mins but 4rebs and two points. Very active.
