Celtics in 5 even without KG. However I CAN see the Bulls winning the series especially if Salmons keeps it going.

[CarolinaKid704]

Celtics in 7 - could be the most entertaining first round seris.

[Kevin Greene]

Bulls, however long it takes.

[King Taharqa]

Celtics starting lineup updated.

[King Taharqa]

Bulls lead 53-44 in the Garden at the half. Derrick Rose has 13 points and 7 assists. The Celtics look very sloppy

[cdandi1]

the "big 2" for boston haven't showed up, and boston's defense is nonexistent...very interesting to see if chicago can keep it up for another half

[King Taharqa]

Derrick Rose is putting on a show right now. Kid is on fire!!!

[holderoftruth]

What a great game... Both PG's are putting on a show

[King Taharqa]

Bulls upset Celtics 105-103 in OT! Derrick Rose drops 36 points (most ever for a rookie in his first playoff game) to put the Bulls up 1-0 in the series.

Did Boston loose one game at home last year?

[tarheelblue89]

Goodness!!! Rose, Gordon, Thomas put on a show. Especially Rose, Stacy King (Bulls) announcer was going to crazy every time Rose drove the lane. IMO it's 90% over. Ray Allen played like abosolute s***, at the end of regulation and ot me and my bro kept saying Allen was going to hit a three. Glen Davis is one of the worst basketball players right now, he is god awful.

It's nice seeing that the Bulls are starting to produce in the playoffs. One of the main reasons I became a Bobcats' fan.

They lost at home in the playoffs to the Pistons in the Conference Finals. That was it though.

Celtics FIRST ever loss to the Bulls in the playoffs.
Tough matchup EVEN with KG. So...gonna be even tougher
