Now everyone on court arguing who is jumping for CHI. Noah is jumping in stead of butler on jump. Noah has the height. Noah tips it to Bellinelli, Belli drives into paint, acts like he got hurt when hit in the paint while dribbling. Ball literally trickles out to a wide open Heinrich who sinks a mid range 2 to tie game at 88 with 2 seconds left. If this was a Knicks game, I would expect a Pierce dagger. Rondo almost gets a 5 second violation, KG misses desperation 3 with an airball. Bulls send it to OT without DEng and of course without Rose
Hubie Brown " KG got away with a huge moving screen". Nothing new there. Celtics D has been great. KG misses open jumper. 3:30 left, no pints in OT yet
Some of it on jumpshots too! This game is on national tv, so he shows up. He will probably take less than 10 shots tomorrow Noah fouled driving to the hoop. Sinks first 1st, to take a 89-88 lead in OT. Bricks second
Pierce drives hard, makes layup to take 90-89 lead. Boozer fouled on shot. Misses free throw to tie game. Makes second to tie
Pierce misses fallaway baseline jumper. Think what Kobe takes except Pierce does it more methodically. Tied at 90 with 2:30 left in OT. Heinrich gets Butler for dunk, Bulsl up 2. Rondo has 5 fouls. Terry makes corner 3 to take a 1 point lead.
Butler goes backdoor on Rondo for tough layup. Rondo undercut Butler on the attempt but not enough for foul. Good no call. Bulls up 94-93 with 1:33 left.
Rondo misses one handed floater in paint. Loose ball on rebound, gets tipped out to Butler who gets his feet taken out by Rondo who stimbled into Butler. HIs face collided with Butler's knee. Rondo out of game with 6th foul Butler makes first, 2 points lead with 1:16 left. Makes 2nd, up 3 for the Bulls.
Chicago iso's Bellinelli who just dirves hard at Sullinger and draws shooting foul. Sullinger fouls out with 50 ticks. Celtics now down 97-98 with 43 seconds left. Bulls ball. Nate Robinson is now in the game, expect a terrible possession for Chicago if he is the primary ball handler
Nate didn't touch the ball but terrible possession from Chicago, Bellinelli throws up a hail mary corner 3 fadeaway, hits top of backbaord. Boozer alsmost grabs rebound but since ball didn't touch rim he tried to catch and shoot in one possession. KG rebounded, Celtics call TO, down 1 with 20.6 seconds left. Again if this is the Knicks, Paul Pierce hits a dagger
Terry hits a jumper with 12 seconds left. Pierce/Terry ran a screen. Teague/Butler had a switch there and when trying to switch back onto their actual matchups. Teague doesn't get over in time, Terry hits jumper. IDK who takes this shot for the Bulls. Probably try to throw it down low to Boozer.
Bellinelli hits a hail mary, one legged, awkward jumper right outside the paint with 3 secnds left to take one point lead. Courtney Lee misses 3 at buzzer
^ and Howard was ejected, which contributed to that. He didn't play in the second half. Lakers still have about a 10% chance to make the playoffs, IMO. I wonder why the Birdman hung out there so long. I know he's had his trouble with the law but you'd think teams would see past it due to his rebounding and energy off the bench.
Larry Coon @LarryCoon Nuggets mascot shooting halfcourt shots. Russ Westbrook caught one at the rim, saved it from going in. Home crowd not pleased. J.A. Adande @jadande Russell Westbrook with the hater move of the year: Nuggets' mascot, Rocky, tried his over-the-head halfcourt shot & Russ goaltended it. Lol
J.A. Adande @jadande Mischievous Russ RT @nuggetsnews: He caught the mascot's ball again, and this time THREW IT INTO THE CROWD HA!” pic.twitter.com/QQYPLJ15 http://www.sbnation.com/2013/1/20/3...locks-denver-mascots-halfcourt-shot-hates-fun
Eye on Basketball @EyeOnBasketball Russell Westbrook steals fans' chance at free queso twice by goaltending mascot halfcourt shot, then ties game from 30 feet. #VILLAINOUS
