One game. Hopefully the start of good things though.
Kidd was obviously amazing. Like I said, I just don't understand how a player can look THAT terrible and then suddenly THAT good. If he can play half that well from here on out, I like our chances to at least make a run. But I just don't have a lot of confidence in Kidd to avoid reverting into his play of late.
Sasha was a nice pickup.
We still need a trade.
Tyson gutted things out. Haywood is a chump.
Marion looked great. He's another guy who is sort of Jekyll/Hyde with his game.

I was switching back and forth between this and the Texas game--did Chandler play the entire second half (except the last few seconds)? He was in there every time i switched.

I loved how TC came back in the 2nd half and kept playing with the flu. Nothing special, but he has heart.

That kid Sasha Pavlovic looked pretty good out there - not just his 11 points on 5-7 shooting, but he really brought a lot of energy.

And he doesnt do stupid things with the ball, he plays within his role. Thats what a roleplayer should do. Thats why Cardinal is a good role player too

He's always been known as a pretty scrappy defender, so the offense is actually nice to see for me.

And Denver beat Oklahoma City and NJ beat Utah so the Mavs are back to 3rd place.

Just going to say this: Even if Steveson is struggling and when Booby comes back, I really hope Rick gives him some minutes, his defense doesn't slump

The best (read: worst) part is that you can totally tell about 1-2 seconds before whenever he's about to do that. Every time.

and since we arent the Spurs Boozer will be back
Edit: Or not

Carlos Boozer is likely to miss Thursday's game against the Mavericks, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The Bulls are officially listing Boozer as day-to-day, but the writers following the team all seem to think the power forward is a ways off. The Tribune says "several in the organization" expressed concern that Boozer will miss two more games. Taj Gibson has proven to be a must-start in all formats when Boozer is out.

But hey, another game for a long contested Gibson three

Postgame Recap
Dirk-He looked fine tonight. Not a good scoring game and didn't shoot well. But out of his 10 misses, 4-5 of them came from basically layups. And part of that was no lift. He got beat a few times on defense.. but he is such a better player next to Chandler.
Chandler- Way to gut it out. He was big in the second half. There is worlds difference between he and Haywood. Chandler protects the paint so well.
Kidd-Best gme all year? Not sure what happened but he gained confidence tonight. Tonight he didn't look like a scared 10 year old girl... he actually shot it with confidence... no hesitation.
Sasha-What a good performance. I'll eat crow. He played well. Did a lot of little things. But when he got an opportunity to score... he did.
Marion-Brought a nice game all around. Defense was really good, and when his little shots around the basket go in... he is a really good player.
Terry-Still can't dribble worth a damn but he did find his shot.

Yep. He gets a little gitty-up in his step that isn't there most of the time.
Ok, I want to stop talking about Haywood now. It's making me grumpy.

He's like a windup doll. He goes into this absurd spin move from ten feet out that looks like a slow motion tornado.

He seems to have a moment every few games where he thinks he suddenly gained the powers of Hakeem Olajuwon.
Unfortunately, it's usually proved seconds later that he's still Brendan Haywood.
