Game 6 + 3

Bulls vs. Celtics is truly a playoff classic and it's probably doing a lot for the NBA. I'm sure everyone in the world except me was thinking of a Celtics sweep. However, the Bulls are right there. As a TNT commentator said, it should be Bulls vs. 76ers in the 2nd round had the officiating been on target.

Game 6 was another classic... triple OT! These 2 teams have already played the equivalent of more than 7 games! The Bulls had 2 10+ leads throughout the game, but that was about it. It was close most of the time. The 10 point leads didn't last long as the Celtics made some quick runs... or I should say Ray Allen made them by himself. Ben Gordon had an off night, but John Salmons picked up the slack, scoring a team high 35. Salmons is truly the missing link. Last year, if Ben Gordon was cold, they had no one to fall back on. Derrick Rose added a "quiet" 28. Miller, who had a terrible start with some quick fouls actually finished with 23 on a perfect 5-5 shooting night.
