Frustration: Bulls close gap but can't pull off magic trick

First of all, why does Tyrus put up shots like this. I recently heard someone on TV comment on this as well. If he avoids the underhand shot, he would have a much better chance at a higher field goal percentage. Secondly, why does the RCN tv guide show "no data" for all programs on comcast sports Plus? After a couple years of this, I know where to look, but sure enough I got two phone calls complaining about the Bulls not being on TV, and I had to explain that on RCN the game is not labeled, but is still available. But I digress.
The Bulls pulled to within one point in the final seconds of the game tonight in Orlando, but could not finish. Granted the Bulls should have avoided the situation altogether by playing a better first three quarters, but still there were a lot of frustrating things happening in the fourth. 1. Missed Free throws. BG missing is inexcusable in a key situation. Nocioni missing was huge, since if he makes the first two, he could hit the third and the Bulls could foul since it would have been a 1 point game. And down the stretch with Rose, Hinrich, and Gordon in, why does Rose not bring the ball up? We've had years of BG and Kirk and we know they cannot be playmakers at the end of games, so just give DR a chance. Speaking of BG, what was up with that shot to tie the game?!! I know he's hit his fair share of clutch shots that we didn't even think he should take in the first place, but we could have gotten off a much better shot than that floating runner over two defenders almost a foot taller than him. Just frustrating to watch, and the week ahead does not get any easier.
