boston best play on the board including mlb, you know what to do

[Shortstop]

Unreal. Tslop must have a vagina. He posts an "In Game Thread" 9 hours before tip-off. Don't worry tslop, none of us were going to post an "In Game Thread" before you. You are safe in your parents' apartment. Don't go outside today, you might encounter "real people"

Bulls/Celtics In-Game-Thread

Good luck gentlemen.

Bulls +8.5 for 1 unit.

[SBR Lou]

Anyone watching the pregame ceremony?

[tressel4]

Boston all the way.

[Tsoprano]

LOU, I started this thread last night don't fukk with me

[Tsoprano]

Few minutes away

[SBR Lou]

Ok, will merge. Hadn't seen.

[Tsoprano]

Gl Lou

I'm on:
Celtics -8
Celtics -8.5

[laxdjock]

BOS -8 -107, 1 unit

[sweetjones55]

I got Bulls +8.5. Rondo can't shoot a jumper and we all know what happens to Ray Allen come playoff time. Derrick Rose is going to penetrate the lane at will and pass out and we are going to see a big amount of 3 pointers from the Bulls today.

[Tsoprano]

shot clock violation

solid defense

CHI is in the bottom half of # of attempts, and while they hit them pretty well...I think they'll need to hit half of them to do any real damage. BOS is a better shooting team, even with Garnett out.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I'm on the under -199 Large for 10 units. GL guys and dolls.

[Tsoprano]

Yesssss

Excellent DEFENSE SO FAR

[Mac4Lyfe]

Not enough defense for me... Rondo beating Chicago all by himself.

[Tsoprano]

Rondo has been such a pesk to the Bulls

[SBR Lou]

The Bulls are playing breath-taking basketball and operating with high IQ and defensive intensity.

[Tsoprano]

5 pt game

EDDIE HOUSE checks in

time to knock down some threes, Eddie

[Mac4Lyfe]

Fukkk somebody check Rondo dammit??? Damn Under not looking good at all. Chit

[Bostongambler]

The pace is certainly agreeing with the total in the upward move.

[sweetjones55]

No 3 pointers yet but as Rose keeps on penetrating, guys will start spotting up open and Rose will find them. Rondo and Perkins need to continue playing like this if they want a chance to win this game because Paul Pierce can not win it by himself. Allen doing the usual chokejob as I predicted 0-3 so far.

[SBR Lou]

Derrick Rose with 9pts in the 1st.

[sweetjones55]

Bulls need to get the ball a little more to Ben Gordon, he's 2 for 2 already. If he gets hot, watch out. 1st assisted 3 pointer from Rose to Thomas. They will start falling this quarter.

[Tsoprano]

2nd unit is getting it done!!

Making shots, drawing fouls, tiring Chicago out

[sweetjones55]

Spoke too soon. Bulls still going to be up against the second unit.

[Tsoprano]

They were getting it done when I posted that

Just want them to have the lead for when Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Perkins, and Rondo come back in the close out the first half.

[Mac4Lyfe]

The damn weather here in Houston is CRAZY... Freaking hurricane force winds, rain out the ass. My dish can't play the game consistently because there's so much rain. I'm between it and online streams. It's a damn monsoon here.

[Tsoprano]

Crazy shot made by Salmons

[jjgold]

Man Boston is bad without Garnett, they should just forfeit.
