*Game Notes*​

&rarr; Ben Gordon scored 20 points off the bench in Chicago's loss to Boston on March 7. Gordon has now come off the bench and scored 20 points in a game 73 times since he entered the NBA in 2004, by far the highest total for any player over that span. Only one other player has scored 20+ points off the bench in more than half the games that Gordon has done it in since the start of the 2004-05 season (Leandro Barbosa - 45).

&rarr; When Interim Head Coach Jim Boylan took over the reigns in Chicago, the Bulls had a record of 9-17 (.346), ranked 30th in the NBA in points per game (91.5), 30th in field goal percentage (.413) and 29th in three-point field goal percentage (323). In the 48 games under Boylan’s direction, the Bulls have gone 20-28 (.417), averaged 100.0 ppg and shot .440 from the floor, including .385 from downtown.

&rarr; In the past 5 games Larry Hughes has averaged 7.6 PPG on 28% shooting. Not only has he stunk up the joint but he is dragging his team down with him. The Bulls are 7-13 since the big trade.

&rarr; Drew Gooden is expected to miss his 2nd straight game because of cramps or another female disorder.. I'm not sure as I really don't care to look it up.

&rarr; Shannon Brown still sucks regardless of what NBA jersey he is wearing.

&rarr; It's a quarter after 5 and I have to work in an hour. I haven't slept all night and If I were you I would stay off the roads until about 7am. I'll let you know when I'm at work and its safe.

&rarr; I like big butts and I can not lie You other brothers can't deny That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist And a round thing in your face You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough 'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed Deep in the jeans she's wearing I'm hooked and I can't stop staring

 

[Wally World]

I think that we should continue playing good....MB need to give more minutes to Wally,boobie and Joe and less to Devin....Just keep our offensive game and play better defense tonight and we will win this one.....Thats what i want......Go Cavs...

No prob, I figured you had your hands full with the new addition. Besides I couldn't sleep and needed something to do before work.

Nice to have a back to back finish at home. Need to continue our home momentum. This is the start of a 7-8 days at home I believe. Good chance for the players to rest a little easier.

No truer words have ever been spoken.

Shannon Brown does not suck

devin brown could be our bruce bowen with a lil more seasoning.

devin brown could be our bruce bowen with a lil more seasoning.

he is 30 years old, how much more seasoning does he need?

 

[CavsRules]

Should be a fun game.. I may miss the start of the game, but I'll be able to watch the second half at least.

Heres to Larry Hughes owning, and the Wine and Gold getting a win.



(Of course, I will take some heat for saying I hope Larry does good.. But whatever, Go Cavs!)

 

[chiefwahoo]

I hope Larry can continue his hot shooting streak tonight. :chuckles:

Cavs 104 Bulls 95

Also, I just found out I can't make it to the Q for the game. I have two nice seats in 118, Row 8 on the aisle. They can be had for an RCF discount and can be sent to you via FlashSeats. PM me if interested.

This is such a great idea. All he needed was some seasoning.

I am looking forward to watching at least three terrible shots from Larry. I hope the Bulls get a two on one fast break as well, so I can watch Larry just take to the rim himself (poor obviously) instead of passing it the other guy, thereby negating the advantage of a two on one.
