Orlando Magic 96, Chicago Bulls 93: know your role
Orlando Magic 96, Chicago Bulls 93: know your role
This was very 2007. Thomas (16.5 minutes) and Noah (5) barely played. The 3-guard lineup was used a lot, they folded late. And the Magic beat the Bulls, as they did in every meeting between them last season. To be fair to Vinny, Nocioni was hitting shots, and Aaron Gray is at least able to ...

The Fundamentals
BallerBlogger.com — ... Blog-a-Bull:   “Rose is this team’s closer now, and I’m already more comfortable with late deficits than I was in the past because of him. So to see him stand in the corner in late game possessions while Hinrich handles the ball and Gordon takes the shots makes me think the veterans don’t realize how they’ll help themselves and the team: let Derrick Rose run the show. Gordon especially: after having a solid game, he still thought he was the man, and rushed up a bad shot with the team down two and barely over a shot clock’s time remaining. But ...

I'm Out For Presidents To Represent Me
Thank You Isiah — ... And to keep the theme going, why in the hell is Tyrus Thomas suddenly playing basketball like he's John Frickin' McCain? With apologies to Matt, it wasn't only his TOs that demanded VDN bench him, but even more the fact that he apparently couldn't guard Rashard Lewis in transition if his life depended on it. The missed jump shots are one thing; he's taking too many maybe, but for the most part they haven't been forced. But to let Rashard Lewis absolutely embarrass you? Come on, Ty! We want to love you. I think even Vinny wants to love you. But you gotta love us back.

Dwight Howard Greets Derrick Rose
Intentional Foul — ... Not that he had too much competition, but the Howard’s block on Rose won the NBA’s Block of the Night designation. The Magic held off the Bulls down the stretch to win 96-93. Howard had 22 points, 15 boards and 5 blocked shots. Naturally, neither team made any of their fans happy. Orlando followers didn’t like the way the Magic finished the game and Bulls fans were reminded of last season’s team. a Dwight Howard Greets Derrick Rose

Orlando Magic 96, Chicago Bulls 93
Third Quarter Collapse — ... They beat the Chicago Bulls, 96-93, to pull their record to .500 last night, but they once again played poorly, owing their victory to Chicago's ineptitude more than anything else. Stan Van Gundy's team committed 7 turnovers in the final quarter, watching what had been a 17-point lead disappear against a team that, even with a brand-new coach, still doesn't play its best lineup enough. ...
