Bulls-Celtics Series After Game 4

Those who have been watching this series knows how fun this series has been to watch. Outside of Game 3, where the Celtics whooped the Bulls ass, this has been far and away the most exciting series to watch. There has been 3 games where its been back and forth where 2 of the 4 games have gone to overtime, with the most recent game going to a second overtime. Ray Allen and Ben Gordon have gone back and forth hitting big shot after big shot. Rajon Rondo has been terrific in this series with multiple triple doubles. The Bulls have been getting good minutes from their bench in Kirk Hinrich and Brad Miller. The problem for the Bulls often during this series has been their inability to get rebounds at times during these games. There also has been many coaching mistakes during this series as well. In the first two games, Vinny Del Negro had a combined 0 timeouts at the end of the game to set up a play that could tie or win the game. Instead they had to settle for desperation half court heaves. In game 4, Doc Rivers did not have the Celtics foul while up 3 with under 10 seconds left in the first overtime. Instead Ben Gordon drained a 3 to tie the game and send it into a second overtime. As far as the rest of the series goes, the Bulls can win Game 5 if they get off to a good start and rebound defensively to keep the Celtics off the offensive glass. I think however this game might end up going 7 games, which will be fun to watch. Hopefully, the Bulls can be the victors in the series.
