This was the game I was afraid the Bulls would pull out of their playbook in game two, coming out completely dazed and confused. They had a ridiculous amount of turnovers at the start and this game was over midway into the third. Both teams played scrubs for the fourth quarter.
Tyrus Thomas is just a joke. Bulls would clearly be better off without him on the court but they simply have no one else to put in. Since it was a garbage game, Tim Thomas and Aaron Gray got some minutes and reminded us why they usually sit on the bench. At one point, early in the game, one of the TNT announcers said that Vinny had some "keepers" in Tyrus and Noah! Is he kidding me? Actually, Noah wasn't as bad as usual and as I've said before, he has improved a lot lately. He also has one less year in the league than Tyrus, so there may be some hope for him. There is no hope for Tyrus and I'm amazed that the Bulls can't see that. And how ironic is it that his much less touted college roomie, Glen Davis, is clearly a better pro player than Thomas?
Of course, you don't have a blowout just because of one guy and the Bulls were generally bad all around. Even Rose had 7 turnovers after receiving the ROY award with his family before the game. And Boston shot well. Pierce got his form back and they moved the ball around they way they need to.
At least the Jazz game was a good one. ;-)
