Official Game Thread: Hawks at Bulls

[Plainview1981]

Epic comeback tonight. Baze and Thabo really struggled on the defensive end,, but thankfully the Bulls only have two good players. Lots of clutch shots down the stretch. More perimeter defense is needed though.

[Gray Mule]

I gave up.  Hawks didn't.

Only one thing to say - - - WOW !!

[benhillboy]

After the Hawks won a game versus the Celtics a couple years ago after being down 24 midway through the 3rd these never surprise me.  Bud can coach through a multitude of setbacks against non-elite teams.  With the early exit by Dunleavy Bud went with a super-short rotation and everyone stepped up.  Hoiberg's on my Randy Whitman "how the f@&k he still got a job?!?!" watch.

Jimmy Butler with 40 points, no fouls, and 1 TO.  There isn't much argument he has the best valued contract through 2020 at less than 20 mill per.  How the f&@k do we get him in a Hawks uniform!!!!

Shout out to the Warriors and Grizz.  Are the Cavs gonna self destruct out this mofo?  Stay tuned.  Lets Go.

I didn't wanna jinx it, but also on those GameNotes:

"With a win tonight the Hawks will tie the longest win streak against Chicago at seven games (previously occurred on 1/8/83-2/25/84 and 3/14/67-2/10/68) … The last time the Bulls defeated the Hawks was a 91-85 home decision on 4/15/15. "

Hawks have played pretty good tonight,  but the Bulls do not plan on losing this game. 

(perimeter D aside) I was right with ya until the last, oh, 90 basketball seconds or so!

Checking things out in the east just now:

Our last 10 is 7-3 and we are 5 out of 1st in the loss column.

Washington, behind us a bit, is 8-2 in their last 10.

Way further down, the 76ers are 8-2 in their last 10 and only 3 out

of 8th in the loss column.  Remember one of those losses was Atlanta's.

Cavs are proving themselves human again with another loss!

[lethalweapon3]

41 fourth-quarter points. Well, that escalated quickly!

Here goes your "former Big 3'er telling you how old he is" of the day.

Wade and LBJ giving us their best Leon Hess impressions lately.

Didn't see the game, but looking at the play by play, sure did see Baze show up A LOT coming down the stretch... a few points, a few assists, a few rebounds, and a block of Butler to ice the game... damn, what happened? Has Kent been reading Squawk or something? Got his ire up maybe?

Patent pending! And when it came to the Squawk, I'd be quite alright if Kent would gazemore.

Tonight was the 3rd game this season D-Wade scored more than 30 points. Chicago is now 0-3 in those games.

Meanwhile... Kyle feeling very goat-like tonight based on what I just saw on Sportscenter.

Feel for the guy.

You've been holding that one back for awhile, waiting for the right moment to toss it into the mix. No way you just now came up with that. Either way, good job you clever so-and-so.

man, what the hell did I just see? Toughness? Grit? Fighting til the end? Wow, those Hawks of yesteryear would have caved, but Im proud to see what they have become! 

I was literally about to turn off the game and go to bed since things were looking like we just weren't going to get over the hump and DWade was lighting it up, and then SHAZAM! Suddenly we are right back in it and took the damn lead! I went from 'sunk' to 'spunk' in a matter of seconds. (No @Spud2Nique )

i started cheering so loud I woke up my wife, who started yelling at me and woke up the chi'rens. Haha jokes on her, they want mommy when they wakey wakey.

Anyway, that was a great win. I love winning in the United Center. 

And the Cavs lost, too!?! Turned out to be a pretty good night after all. 

Go Hawks!

Cavs are 2-8 since the trade? (I think).
