Butler huge in OT v. Celtics

[LloydMooresLegs]

6 in OT. Playing 4th q and OT minutes w deng out

[LloydMooresLegs]

Butler 4 rebounds and 13 points.

Bulls up 3 w 50 seconds left.  Game on espn.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Belinelli basket to win for Bulls with 2 seconds left. Bulls 100-99.  Thrilling end of regulation (Celtics completely screwed up) and OT.  Jimmy w big free throws at end of regulation and then the 6 points in a row in OT. Some MU love thrown in as well.

Do your thing JB!

Huge game for Jimmy.  Gaining more points with Thibs too, and if Deng has to miss any time at all, his number will continue to be called.
On a separate point, Belinelli has hit a couple of big shots sure (including the eventual game winner), but he is one poor excuse for the go to guy at the end of the game, as shown in this game and the Raptors game.  The possession where he dribbled himself into the corner and tossed a three up into the side of the backboard was just awful.

Isn't that in Marquette's end-of-game playbook!?!

He also tied up Pierce for a jump ball opportunity (which the Bulls won) with about 10 seconds left in regulation.

If Deng is out with a hammy, Jimmy could be starting.

I saw that last night and thought the same thing. Looked like a grade school game.

Here we all were certain that we were going to get Butler in the C7, and instead the NBA swoops in and snatches them up!

Need to break away from the MU game and tune in to WGN at 7:00 for the intro.

Rooting JB on at the Bulls game; recording MU. 

[MerrittsMustache]

With Deng out, big game for Jimmy tonight! 18 points, 8 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals in 48 minutes. 10 4th quarter points. Bulls downed by 3 in OT. Nate Robinson kills the Bulls.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Horrible shooting night (mostly first half) for Jimmy, but he was huge in every other way.  Must have played 40 minutes.  Don't know why Noah was out for the 4th and OT.  Don't know why Nate was in almost that whole time (his "instant offense" can be invaluable to the comeback, but once you've come back, brink Hinrich back to control the game).
