Just a few short words about Monday night before Tuesday night begins. The Bulls could have won, and I put the loss on their coach. Besides poorly choosing his time-outs, and besides allowing John Salmons a few too many minutes on the floor, Vinny Del Negro missed his chance to deliver a crippling blow to the Celtics. Coming out of halftime, Perkins and Davis both had three fouls. These guys had been killing the bulls with offensive rebounds and elbow jumpers. Rajon Rondo had turned an ankle and was still nursing the pain to start the quarter. If the Bulls had driven the ball right at the Celtics, they probably would have gotten the Celtic bigs in even worse foul trouble, and probably would have gotten Rondo yanked off the floor for not being able to move defensively. Instead, the Bulls stayed outside and launched tentative jump shots until Rondo felt better and the clock had restored a cushion of safety to Perkins and Davis. If I saw this, Vinny sure as hell should have. Bad, bad coaching. I'm going to let it slide as a rookie-coaching flub, but I wouldn't want to spend the summer in Chicago if my name was Del Negro.
Also, Tony Parker is the shit.
