They just won't do it will they? You know in Mortal Kombat when you have Sub-Zero on the ropes and it says "FINISH HIM!!" Than Scorpion pulls off his mask and his head is a scull and he spits fire all over Sub-Zero until he is fried to a crisp. The Bulls refuse to finish their opponents. I have lost count of how many teams the Bulls have been up on by 20+ to only let them come back out and get the game within hand or almost win it.

Its something that scares the shit out of me about this team has we head into the playoffs. Can you close people? Can you step on someone throat? Can You FINISH HIM!?!?!?!. As much as this team is loved and gets along  you gotta wonder if it has enough of a mean streak. All the former NBA champions have mean streaks. The Bulls of the 90s did. Is this group just to cuddly and likable? I don't wanna use the word soft. But do they thirst for blood? Do they wanna stomp you until you scream mercy? Would they Sweep the Leg? I really don't know if that's this teams personality.

I hope its something that won't hold them back as we head into the playoffs but its something to watch for sure.

Now I got that out of the system. The Bulls played well in stretches and laid off the Suns in others. Nash is still a great PG and when he goes out the Suns are awful. He did his thing getting others going on offense. He had 16 dimes. Rose looked like he was just gonna let the others win this one but once again he had to turn it on and put the team on his back like he has all year.


Rose didn't have the best shooting night(6-15) but was clutch again. Boozer and Noah seemed to click on some nice passes. Boozer filled up the box score again. Wait for the off night again and fans will hate him. I hope it doesn't come vs Boston.

The Good
-Spreading the love. Everyone got theirs.
-Deng seems out of the slump.
-Taj almost double double
-Rose is clutch as a mother.
-Boozer and Noah connect.

The Bad
-Vince Carter sucks. How does he score 23?
-Omer only 6mins?
-We didn't finish em! or sweep any legs.
-Let Nash run wild.

The Ugly
-Noah only 4 rebs but still hurt.
-4pt play... Really Taj?
-How many MVPs take charges... and not get the call?!?
-Nash forgot his shorts.

Noah: The ankle is still an issue. Only 4rebs but some nice passing and scoring.
Boozer: Filling up the stats. I felt had some bad calls on him.
Deng: Keeps playing well and hitting timely 3 balls.
Bogans: Only one three. Which makes you useless tonight.
Rose: Seemed ready to just let his team handle it tonight but was called into duty when they dropped the ball.

Korver: Hit one three. Struggles on defense as always.
Gibson: Has looked good for couple of games. Still makes bone head fouls. Carter 4pt play.
Omer/Thomas: 9 mins for both...
Brewer: Keeps pace with 10pts and lots of energy.
Watson: Two huge 3 balls. Has improved much since the start of the season.
