Bulls Game -- Nuts!

[bird <birdwl@earthlink.net>]

Dammit, if only we could have controlled Fizer (of all people!) in the 
fourth.  Then again, the C's didn't play all that well the whole game, but 
that doesn't always stop them from winning.  Frustrating to often lose to 
the lower echelon teams (Golden State, Chicago, etc), but there you go.  
Some of the usual criticisms in a loss: Strick too often looked to shoot 
and not pass, Walker not doing a great job on Fizer, Pierce had one of 
those "quiet" games of his, and there wasn't as much offensive movement as 
you might hope for.  And then, the big one, allowing the Chicago Bulls to 
score over a hundred points.  Didn't defend all that well, especially on 
the kick out for a three or the post play.  Blech.

So much for running the table.  This has been happening all season, though,
  so I don't think it's a huge deal.  One good thing might be that Walker 
might have burst out of his slump, we'll see.  I guess another good thing 
is there's less "Dynamic Duo" and more "Team".  That's good for the long 
run, but I have a feeling we'll need our stars to step up big in the 
post-season.
