Bulls v Pacers this afternoon

Exciting game, took our grandson, his first Pacers game in person. He got
O'Neal, Dunleavy & Baston autographs so now he's hooked, we set him up for
decades of agony seperated by years of excitement.

A couple of boards we couldn't snag in the last 90 seconds killed us.
Everybody played hard, not sure what happened to O'Neal but he petered out
the last couple minutes of the game. The first half we we're getting a lot
of penetration fouls, but not so much the 2nd 1/2 settled more for mid-range
jumpers. On the bright side the help "D" is getting better and Dunleavy
looks good on "O"

Carlilly made a substution I didn't get at the end of the half or 3rd
quarter don't remember which. Skiles put their fullback Sweetney on JO with
a 2.5 minutes left in the quarter and JO was clean'n his clock. Then with a
minute to go he pulls JO and puts him back in with under 10 seconds to go.
I'd left JO in and let him rake Sweetney over the coals. That's not the
first time I've seen Carlilly pull a hot player with a bad matchup.

That was a tough loss. Once again I put it on Tinsley who missed an
easy shot with the game tied at 90. Gordon goes down and makes a
tough shot over Dunleavy to win it. Ugh!

JO had 39 points and I believe double digit rebounds but no blocks.
That takes a lot of effort and was probably why he tired at the end.
Only Dunleavy scored in double figures besides JO.
