the main thing about the loss is that it shouldn't result in a turnaround of momentum. it would have been much worse had the bulls gone on to win by 25 and go into game 5 on a high, feeling like they had solved some of their problems.

they just managed to hang on at home and it took a great effort from them. hinrich hardly missed any of his long jumpshots.

flip played a good game.

don't stress too much about c-webb. if we make it to the next round webber should be back to himself against big ZZZZZZ and gooden. they have no chance of stopping him in the lane, and his lack of lateral D will be less noticable. remember webber is going up against an active, quick, athletic bulls team. against the cavs, or even nets it won't be a problem so much.

i was a bit frustrated they didn't go to tay more in the second half, especially in the 3rd.
