Bulls win in Triple-OT, send series to Game 7

Last night's Bulls vs Celtics game was ridiculous. It had 3 OT's, it was 4 hours long, Ray Allen had 51 points, Joakim Noah had a break-away dunk off of a steal, that won the game for the Bulls. For the Bulls, Ben Gordon flopped. He fouled out in the 4th quarter and then received a technical, which cost the Bulls a point in the final minutes of the game, I understand he was upset, but this was stupid of him. John Salmons had his best game as a Bull, on a bad groin, he had 35 pts, played solid defense on Paul Pierce all night, and played all 60 minutes of this game. Derrick Rose had a nice game as well with 28 points, although he did brick 2 free throws in the third overtime, which could have iced the game for us. Even Brad Miller came up big, hitting many clutch free throws, and even scoring 5 straight points to tie the game at 101 in regulation. And I like Kirk Hinrich getting in the face of Rajon Rondo early in the game. Rondo is a punk and has been getting away with a lot of cheap shots in this series. Its about time someone stood up to him. Hinrich set the tone for the Bulls last night, they finally played a physical game, and made it clear they were not going to take any more crap from the Celtics.

I have one question. Where was Kevin Garnett at the end of the game? Garnett is usually jawing at the Bulls' players and coaches, but oh wait, he only does this after the Celtics win, because he's gutless. I did not see him talking any trash down the stretch of this game, he obviously has a lot of confidence in his teammates. I also love how ESPN, neglects to mention Garnett's foul behavior in this series. Anchor Chris McKendry said today, that Noah shouldn't be celebrating with our fans because the series isn't over. Wow Chris, no guff. But had Garnett been doing the same thing, they'd probably be saying what a great guy he is, typical East-Coast Bias bullshit.

And while I'm on Garnett, he is apparently saying he's going to suit up for game 7. ESPN is already comparing him to Hall of Famer Willis Reed, who did the same thing with the Knicks in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals. Sorry, Garnett, but you are no Willis Reed, and this isn't the finals. I hope the Big Tool does suit up, maybe he can finally back up all of the trash he's been talking. Then again maybe Miller or Aaron Gray will throw you to the ground. Garnett is such a jackass, I really can't believe he is this big of a jerk. Few things would make me happier than this clown taking the court and taking a beating, he deserves it.

I just hope that Game 7 is as good as the previous 6 games, I expect a real dog-fight in this one.
