Celtics squeak out Game 2 victory

Noah and Allen react to the game winning shot

Arrrgh.  Sooo close to being up 2-0.  After Gordons three pointer gave the Bulls a healthy lead with a few minutes left, I really started to believe we could take this one.  A few notes from Game 2.

• There are a lot of weapons in this series, it's just a matter of who shines each game.  This game it was Ben Gordon and Ray Allen and Big Baby.  Don't forget Paul Pierce, and Rondo and Rose.  And of course any given sunday, Salmons could step up, or Hinrich, Noah, Thomas, etc.  It should make for a fun series.
• After dwelling on this, I'm not too upset anymore. Look, we took 1 of 2 on their court, which was really everyone's hope going into this series.  And not only that but we now have the confidence that we can play with these guys.  And not only that but we could easily be looking at 0-2 right now if Pierce hits that free throw.  So all things considered, the Bulls and us fans should be pretty happy.  And we are returning to the UC.
• Love to see the emotion finally from the Bulls.  Seeing the Bulls run off the Bench after Gordon's 3 pointer and subsequent Celtics timeout was sweet.  I don't equivocate this to Rex Grossman smiling on the sideline after a touchdown that ties the game and being content.  It's more like the Celtics and other good teams who play with a little bit of emotion.  Good to see.
• What's up with KG's looks on the sidelines?  Poor guy, I feel for him and know he wants to play, but still was interesting.
• Ray Allen can hit clutch shots, we know that, we saw it recently in the game against the Bobcats, and I thought we should have played him a little tighter, but in the end as Rose said, thats the shot we want him to have to take, fading back with a 7 footer (Noah) in his face.
• The Bulls once again reverting to mid-season, used all timeouts too early, leaving them 0 timeouts for a last second heave.  (By the way I thought Tyrus put up a decent shot given the situation).   I think the big wasted ones are late in the game (about a minute left) after the Celtics score.  Here we oughta let D Rose just run down before they get set up.
• What's up with the hatred on Noah by Celtics fans, out of nowhere?! He did not do anything dirty, and got several chants from the crowd. If anything Perkins was the instigator.
• Can't wait to get into the UC Thursday night.
