Good point, Claw... however, what that his right arm or left arm?

I honestly don't recall.

It was his left.

Sucks. I'll always wonder how much the Rondo injury really did them in.

It was his left.

This time, it's his right.

That would seem to make matters much more difficult... but, like you said, he's a tough guy... and Hoiberg might be that desperate if the Bulls lose tonight.

Not over yet. They can still win it if Rondo is back for G6

I remember when 76ers fans were mad that they traded MCW for the Lakers' 1st rounder. Now he can't get minutes over Jerian Grant and Isaiah Canaan. Sad!

I don't know... I think it's possible that they could force a Game 7. However, I would not be confident, at all that Rondo is going to comeback with one healthy hand and be the reason we win two straight.

I'm also not sure that it's just the Rondo injury. I think it's possible that the Celtics were sleep walking through those first two games, after everything that went down with Thomas's sister.

My confidence level in this team is back to where it was a couple of weeks ago. Very low. I'll root for my guys like always, but tempering expectations seems to be the right call. If they find a way to win tonight, they'll win me back.

Game 6 is this Friday... obviously, I'm just a guy on the internet... but after watching that footage of Rondo babying his strong hand... doesn't seem probably (at all) that he plays well if he somehow makes it out on the floor.

Thing about Rondo is he doesn't need to score. Just run their offense efficiently

Wait did the Bulls really start Cannan tonight? @podsox

 

[Shanemansj13]

Canaan is owning IT

I give fred credit for trying something different.Grant and mcw have been trash

 

[richig07]

Phew... Intense first half. This series is starting to get chippy.

I guess I can't be too upset with a 52-50 score. We're right in it. However, it's been frustrating...

 

[podsox]

if only the bulls would stop turning the damn ball over

 

[cwalke3408]

and allowing wide open shots after wide open shots.

Turnovers, allowing wide open looks and giving them second chances on offense.

and allowing wide open shots after wide open shots.

Also, being the 8 seed with a key player out.
