Another Blowout

I could really get used to this... another game, another blowout. The Nets got a 1 point lead early in the game, but that's all they would get. The Bulls shot over 70% at one point, extending their lead to as many as 21 and lead by 15 for most of the game. All starters were in double figures lead by and injured Rose and Hamilton. They each had 22 a piece. The All-Star Noah was back with 16 pts and 10 rebs. The defense was a bit relaxed in the 2nd half as they let the Nets got hot at the 3-point line. The Bulls won this one because they were all on fire and outrebounded the Nets.

Deng is still out with a sprained wrist and will be meeting with doctors to see if he can avoid surgery. Obviously, the Bulls depth is enough to get through any regular season game, but Deng is essential in the goal of a championship. He's their other clutch player. He hit the game winner in 2 of the Miami games last year. Hopefully he'll be OK.
