Derrick Rose game 3 2009 NBA Playoffs Bulls vs Celtics

CHICAGO -- Willing to defer in the first two games, Paul Pierce took the initiative and the Boston Celtics seized control.

Pierce scored 24 points, Rajon Rondo added 20 and the defending champions beat the Chicago Bulls 107-86 on Thursday night to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.

Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls struggled and look to bounce back in game 4.

This is the best first round series i ever seen

Something that pisses me off is these so called TRUE BULLS FANS. Chicago fans leave because they lose? Win or Lose a true Bulls fans sticks to the team no matter what, all those people that left early should not have even bought a damn ticket upsets me so much. Yea we all wanted/want Chicago to win, but we have to learn to lose at some point.
