Chicago Bulls vs. Celtics: Are the Celtics over their KG Depression?

What’s it like to watch the Bulls get beaten like a high school nerd after accidentally bumping into the school bully? Well, I imagine it’s like getting stabbed in heart with a dull plastic knife. The Bulls managed to allow an old, mentally abused (still getting over the fact that their messiah KG won’t play) pierce them in the heart like one of those guys from the Last of the Mohicans. Not in my craziest nightmares did I ever see the Bulls losing Game 3. Worse than losing, they got abused and embarrassed. The drunk, naked, and dirty, (yet sexy girl) from Eastbound and Down even probably looked at the Bulls’ with disgust last night.

What happened? I don’t know. How can you explain a team playing like a bunch of guys from a Swedish health club pick-up game? Let’s forget about analyzing the Bulls. The Celtics on the other hand? Well, what if the Bulls only came close to going 2-0 in Boston because Boston was still hung-over from the loss of KG? They sure looked like it in Game 1. Ray Allen couldn't put a ball through a hula hoop, Perkins looked like Perkins and Glen Davis played like a baby in that first match.
Paul Pierce didn’t start playing in the series until Game 3.

Unfortunately for us Bulls’ fans, the Celtics are getting over their KG depression and the Bulls are reverting back to every horrible habit they had prior to the Salmons/Miller era. The Celtics played like champions last night and the Bulls? Well the Bulls played like the Bulls: immature, selfish, no-defense, poor coaching and soft. When the going got tough, the simple fact is that the Bulls' packed it in.

I am done making my predictions on this Bulls’ team. They either wake up and realize that they are playing against Perkins and Glen "baby" Davis (players who actually suck), an old Pierce and past-his-prime Ray Allen or put their heads’ down, dribble, dribble and pretend they’re still playing KG, a young Pierce, and Jesus Shuttlesworth.
