Most Important Hamstring in the NBA Right Now: Ben Gordon’s
1-liner, NBA April 27th. 2009, 2:00pmBen Gordon: He’s having an MRI on his strained left hamstring at some point today. He’s shooting 46 percent from the field and 40 percent from three in the series so far against Boston, while averaging 24.7 a night. Game five is Tuesday night at 7, so he’s got about 30 hours for someone to go Miyagi on his hammy. If this means the Bulls have to rely on offense from John Salmons (37 percent from the field, 21 percent from three in this series), go ahead and look to next season, Chicago fans. (Boston Globe)

Could they rely on Defense instead? just a thought…

As long as they keep double teaming Rose, the Bulls will keep having issues. Even if Gordon plays tomorrow night, he won’t do well I think. It’s almost worth it to rest him for Game 6.

Rest him for Game 5, so that he can play Game 6. That’s what I meant.

Maybe if Scott Skiles was still their coach and they actually could play defense

TBL’s jones for John Salmons is warranted in this series, but to be fair, he’s been playing with a strained groin all month. Prior to that, he was actually pretty good defensively AND offensively. My advice to him if I was his coach would be to never put the ball on the floor under any circumstances. He has piss-poor ball-handling skills.
/that wasn’t a strained groin joke.

Go ahead and go fuck yourself, TBL.
